I can't believe that school is over....until September but still....Two months without these stupid jerks ! They are even more mad at me after that they have been expelled for one week ! Today during the last classes they were throwing faces at me and everything, I was really scared, but I won't see them for two months. Maybe, in September they will have forgotten all this !

Now I'm just happy ! Tomorrow with my parents and my siblings we'll go for a week to Miami at the beach ! I'm extremely exited about this !

When I arrive at home, I go straight to my room packing. If my mom woud know that I didn't pack yet, she would freack out ! She told us about a week ago that we should start think about what we want to take or not, and about two days ago, my mom had already packed everything. I'm not like mom, I always do the things I have to do at the last minute.

The next morning we woke up at 4a.m to take our fligh to Miami, a few hours later we arrived there. Lily and James wanted to go to the beach right away but our parents were too tired to take them so Erica proposed that we take them. So our parents stayed in the hotel room sleeping and Erica, Taylor, Lily, James and I are going to the beach.

When we arrived at the beach Lily and James run to their friends that they made last year when we came here and Taylor got invite to play beach volley with some guys, they asked me too but I didn't want to play beach volley because I suck ! So with Erica we search for our spot, so the one that the hotel reserved for us.

When we arrived at our spot I looked around us to see if everything is okay with Lily, James and Taylor but instead of seeing them I see Xander, a guy who bullied me at school a few feets away from us :

"-Oh.....no.....I say
-What ? asks Erica.
-You see the guy there ? I say pointing at Xander.
-Yes ?
-Well....he was one of the guys that....you know...
-Nooooooooo !.....What is he doing here ?
-He is on vacation like us !....Why ? Why did he have to come here ?
-Maybe without the others he can be a nice person, maybe at school it was under pressure. And now he is going to be nice to you mabe he'll even appologise !
-Yeah ! You're too optimistic ! Like that's gonna happen !
-You never know !"

Suddenly Xander turns around and sees us. Then he begins to walk and suddenly he is in front of me.

"-Bing ! What the hell are you doing here ?"

I'm petrified, I can't answer. He turns his head and he sees Erica :

"-And who is she ?"

I still can't talk. So after a few seconds of a horrible silence, my sister decides to talk instead of me :

"-I'm Erica, his sister."

She says while she gaves him her hand for a handshake. Is she crazy or what ? That guy is gonna laugh at her face ! He can't be polite as she is ! But then he says :

"-Nice to meet you Erica, I'm Xander."

and he sakes his hand. WHAT ??? Is Xander Harris finally nice ? Was Erica right ? Was he only mean because of the peerpresure ?

He and Erica start talking but I still can't say a word, I'm too confused for that.

"-So you're the one that took that video that made me expelled for a week ?"

Oh my ! He was just acting ! Now he is going to eat her alive ! No ! He can't do that to my sister !

"-Yes, what you did was really bad, you had just what you deserved." says Erica.

How can she say something like that ! Xander is going to kill her !

"-You're right...We went too far...Sorry Jack."

WHAAAAAAT !!?? Did he just apologize to me ?

"-Ummm...." I try to say something but I can't.

Come on ! I have to say something ! I can't just stay here and say nothing !

"-Oh...you know...it was nothing...but your apology means a lot...thanks !"

Yes !!! I said something !

Xander looks at me :

"-How can you say that ! We....did just horrible things to you ! I deserve an apology...and even more ! I invite you this evening at this party."

A party ? Is he serious ? We are only 15 !

"-We are not really party persons" says Erica.

"-Come on ! It'll be fun ! No alcohol !"

I hope so !

"-I hope so !" says Erica.

It's like she reads my mind !

"-So what do you say ?" insists Xander.

"-We have to ask our parents first."

"-Okay, I leave you my number, call me if you come. I'll pick you up so we can go togehter."

He writes his number down on a paper and leaves.

I blink like if I just woke up. I still can't believe it, Xander Harris apologized to me and he invited me to a party, even if I don't want to go to this stupid party it's still a big step ! If someone told me something like that a week ago I wouldn't belive him.

***

We are on our way back to the hotel. I can't stop thinking about this party....I really don't want to go.

"-Erica ?....Do you want to go to this party ?" I ask her.

"-Yes, why not, it could be fun !" she answers.

WHAAAT ??? Erica wants to go to a party ? What happened to the world ? Erica hates parties ! She always says that it's something that ruins your health and a lot of other things that I can't remember.

"-I hope the parents will say yes !" she adds.

Oh yes the parents ! I'm sure they'll say no.

***

We arrived at the hotel, our parents were watching TV, Erica runs in there room and asks them about the party :

"-So what do you say ?" I said worried, because I know that if they say no, Erica could convince them.

My parents look at each other and finally say :

"-Yes...Why not !"

WHAAAT ? Did they just say yes ??? Has everyone gone crazy or what ?
