Hanna's POV:
FIVE DAYS INTO BORA BORA TRIP:
We have a great house over the water. Jason, Melissa, and Malia are coming here soon.
Caleb and Toby are swimming while Aria and I tan in beach chairs. Spencer was just with us but she went inside to talk to her mom.
"Hanna" Spencer said as she ran over to me with her iPad "Which one do you like better for our sweet sixteen?" she asked as she sat down at the end of my beach chair and showed me two pictures of different venues for our party.
"They're huge its going to be that big?" I said
"Oh it is. A lot of my parents family is coming and then like fifteen of our school friends, and your family too. Plus there's going to be a slide show for both of us and our parents are doing speeches. " Spencer said
"The only people in my family that will be there is Alison my mom and maybe my grandma" I said
"Well this is a really big deal to our parents and they want us both to remember it. The theme is a mix of both of us. Glamour but not too much glamour. Oh and my mom said when we get back we're going to pick out dresses"
"Did my mom say I could?" I asked
"My dad insisted" Spencer said
"I'm so excited for you guys" Aria said
"Hanna its been almost twenty minutes if you all don't get in this water we'll carry you in" Caleb said
"Its too cold" I said as I stood up
"Its warm!" Caleb said
"I don't want to sound too much like Hanna right how but I don't want to get my hair wet" Aria said as she put her hair back in a ponytail
"I'm going to act like you didn't say that and I want to cut my hair" I said
"How short?" Spencer said
"Like a little under my shoulders" I said
"I wanted to do that too. We should do that before senior year" Aria said
"Would you two stop talking about your hair and get in?" Caleb asked
"Toby you know I can't swim that well" Spencer said as she got in the water
"What is with you guys today we're in Bora Bora! Live a little!" Toby said
"Yeah we should all stay away from our phones for the rest of the trip" Caleb said
The water came up to my knees. I got on Caleb's back as he took me in deeper. "Hanna your choking me" Caleb said as he lowered my arms from his neck
"You're going to far. Look everyone else is there on the safe side. I don't like water"
"You're going to hate me for this but I just have to" Caleb said before diving both of us into the water
Emily's POV:
"Alison" I said as I shook my girlfriend awake. "I want to show you the festival before we all go tonight"
"A festival?" Ali asked
"Yes its beautiful in the morning. Come on" I said before kissing her cheek
"You know you're lucky you're so cute right?" Alison as she got up
"Yes I know" I said
We got dressed in spring clothes before leaving the house. I held Alison's hand as I lead her to the many booths in the park.
"Its so great being here with you. I still can't believe we're here" Ali said
"Its only been two days and I don't want to go home" I said
"So what's this festival about?" Ali asked
"It happens every year and its in celebration of our elders. You'll see later tonight I'll be all dressed up and paying respects to my grandparents and great grandparents. You'll do it too" I said
"Am I allowed to?"
"Of course you are. Lets get food" I said
Alison and I sat happily on a bench as we watched a few kids do a acrobat dance and ate steamed buns with sweet beans in the middle.
"I love it here. I would totally live here with you" Alison said
"Really and leave Hanna and your mom?" I asked
"Hanna has Caleb" Alison said "We'd visit every now and then"
"A second life. I'd like that" I said as I took her hand and smiled at her "You wanna get henna? I don't think I see a line at the booth"
"Yes!" Alison said "I've always wanted to do that"
Alison's POV:
THAT NIGHT
The night festival was great. I really enjoyed being a part of it with Emily. I feel as though my grandpa would be proud of me.
"You did great tonight Em" I said as I wrapped myself in a robe. I just took a shower.
"Thank you. So did you. Tomorrow I'll give a tour of what I use to do when I came here as a little girl" Emily said as she took put a pajama shirt on. I hate when she acts like she doesn't know what I want.
"That sounds nice" I said as I took her pajama shirt off "But you know what else is nice?"
"What?" Emily asked smiling
"This" I said as I dropped my robe before kissing her and laying her down on the bed…
Spencer's POV:
TOMORROW NIGHT
Toby and I figured how to set up the projector outside so as Caleb and Hanna watch Fast & Furious Aria, Toby and I attempted night surfing.
"Okay I think its time to call it a night" I said as I climb on top of my board "Once this wave comes I'm letting it bring me to shore and I'm going to sleep"
"Oh was the zip lining and snorkeling too much for you?" Aria asked as she got on her board
"Yes. Look at Hanna and Caleb they're sleeping" I said as I pointed to Hanna and Caleb who are cuddled together on a beach chair.
"What do we about the projector? Can we leave it outside?" Aria asked
"Yeah no one can come on this beach" Toby said
We let the wave pull us to shore before grabbing our things. I noticed my iPad buzzing. "Guys its Ali and Emily" I said as I started facetime
"Hey Spence you look great in that bikini!" Alison said. She and Emily are sitting outside at a sunny park.
"Thanks. Are you guys having fun?" I asked
"Yes its fantastic over here. We all should come here sometime" Alison said
"And you guys should come here" Aria said "We went snorkeling today"
"Where's Hanna and Caleb?" Emily asked
"Sleeping" I said as I switched the camera
"They are so cute" Emily said "So are you guys ready to go home?"
"No I don't ever want to leave" Aria said "I'm just ready for this semester to be over"
"One more year and we're off to college"
Ashley's POV:
Today is Hanna and Spencer's sweet sixteen. I believe the girls are about to enter their senior year of high school. Soon I'll be in the house by myself. Veronica set up a large venue. I can't help but feel guilty that I can't afford things like this for my kids but I'm grateful that we have such good friends.
The girls are having so much fun with they're friends I've barely talked to Hanna. I grabbed Hanna before she left with a drink from the bar.
"Look at you. You turn sixteen and you can't even let your mother wish you happy birthday?" I asked before giving her a hug "My baby has turned into such a fantastic young lady"
"Thanks Mom. Can I please go dance now?"
"Yes go have fun" I said before kissing he cheek
Veronica walked over to me "I thinking of surprising Spencer with a speech even though she doesn't want me to. I feel like parents have to do this at sweet sixteens" she said
"Why don't you dance with Spencer too? I'm sure she'll let you" I said
"I just can't believe my baby is sixteen. Remember when will all used to come over to each others houses when they were little?"
"Yeah. Hanna was my shadow then" I said
Spencer's POV:
After everyone sang Hanna and I cut our large cake with red roses all over it for everyone. "Spence thank you so much for this" Hanna said as she put a slice on a plate
"Hanna it wouldn't have happened if you didn't say anything. I should be thanking you" I said "Our parents are being so cool by the way
I'm surprised my dad didn't separate me from Toby after awhile"
"They have to be cool its our birthday" I said
"Hey guys I know you'll be mad at me but my Dad is leaving for four months tonight so I should be getting home" Emily said as she walked over to us with Ali and Aria "Happy Birthday!" she said before turning to Ali kissing her and leaving.
"I'm so excited for senior year" Aria said
"College is just around the corner" I said "We have so many college tours to go on"
"Don't drain the fun talking about that-"
"Aria can I speak to you for a moment?" Aria's mom asked as she walked over to us. She look mad.
"Yeah" Aria said
"Is everything okay?" Toby asked
"I hope its not what I think it is"
Aria's POV:
I followed my mom outside before she turned to me and said,
"When were you planning on telling me you're dating your English teacher Aria?"
Uh oh!
So next chapter we'll be the beginning of senior year. I don't have many ideas for it.
Do you guys still enjoy this story? I'm thinking ending it a little sooner. I've noticed that a lot of you don't review or request anymore. I know I write shorter chapters now but that's only because I'm a freashman and since September I haven't had as much time to write and I don't want to leave you guys waiting too long.
I willing to take all request. Should I put A in the story?
-Hope
