~flashback~

"AHHHH!!!! I'm so excited!!" I scream.
"Me too!" says Kara. "I've been working on my lines all month!! There isn't a day I wasn't."
We were sitting in the bus to Creative Connections. Creative Connections is this one week camp to New York City. There are all these performing arts courses that you can audition for, and Sarah, Tiara, and I auditioned for the drama section and got in. And there were like, five hundred something people who auditioned and only about fifteen to twenty people get in. It was the same with Azaria and Kara. But they auditioned for the choir section. The drama section is doing all these different skits with the regular fairytales you know, just a different version of them. It's called Fractured Fairytales.
"I've heard so much about it from all the people that went to it," I say, "like the food, the hotel, the lessons, the.....
"Omg, I canNOT wait to try the food!" interrupts Kara. "That, I'm the most excited about!"
"Yea, how do you eat so much yet stay so freaking thin!! You're, like, the thinnest person I know!"
"I have my ways." We laugh.

We finally get into New York. Now, I can tell you,, I've seen a LOT of amazingthings in my life, but nothing compares to what I saw when we entered New York City! The lights everywhere were amazing, making it look like even buildings glowed. and the Creative Conections building was probably one of the least "stand-out-ish" building there, but it still looked amazing. Although part of that is probably because I've been waiting for, like, three whole months for this thing, and it's so exciting to finaly be here! Me and Kara seem the most excited to be here, at least that's from my point of view, looking at everyone else on the bus, we're jumping up and down in our seats, screaming from excitement. everyone else just has a smile in their face. Either that, or they're looking at me and Kara like we're high on drugs or something, which is the majority of the kids on the bus. Sorry, I'm saying the majority of the bus Is looking at us like we're high on drugs, not that the majority of the people on the bus are high on drugs.

We go out of the bus and there's a lady there telling us where to go. We get our stuff out of the bus, and the lady tells me to go to to room 412. I was kind of hoping to get the 31st level, because it's the highest level in the hotel, and you can see almost all of New York from the window, but I'm still excited that I'm here, so I don't care about it that much. It took so long for me to save up for this, and I've only been in New York for 5 min. and it already feels worth all that money!

I get inside my room. My room mate's not there, so I just unpack, put my stuff in the drawers, set up my bed, and take out my phone. I open up Kik and text my parents, telling them everything that's going on, and thanking them for letting me come here. After that, I just listen to music and fall asleap.
