The last day of school came and went. Thank god. For the last day of school we didn't do anything. There was a lot of party's, and I found out that party's aren't fun if you don't hang around with friends. There was a lot of hugging, for boyfriends and girlfriends kissing, and there was even some crying. I didn't get half as emotional  as some of the people but I never do. I don't miss school, I get really lonely over the summer. But I would take loneliness over unpopularity any day.

Now there's only two days left until the trip and I'm really dreading it. I've thought of ways to get out of going but so far come up with nothing because my parents would never let me stay home by my self and I don't want to ruin the trip for them so it looks like I have no choice.

The day of the trip the alarm on my phone effectively woke me and Jane up at 4:30 in the morning. At first I thought it was a school day but then I remembered that school was over. Then I wondered why my stupid phone was waking me up at four in the morning!? Then the cruise came back into my head. Needless to say my brains a little slow in the morning.

I reached for my phone which was on a little shelf that was mounted to the wall. I turned off my alarm, jumped down off the bunk bed, and walked to the bath room. Now that I think about it I'm pretty much doing the same thing that I would do on a school day. Except I'm getting up earlier, and I'm not going to school. The only reason for getting up so early is that the drive from our home in California to the dock where the boat is going to shove off is a four hour drive and the boat leaves at eleven. We have to be out of this house by eight with everything ready and packed. I know that three and a half hour seems like a lot of time to get ready but for my family it only seems like one hour. And my mom probably takes the longest out of all of them. She has to go back recheck if everything is packed and if all the lights are turned off and  do about a million other different things before shes ready to leave the house.

When I get back from the bathroom my sister is starting to stir. I look in my closet and pull out a pair of skinny jeans. I took a shower only like six hours ago and shaved then too but I still don't want to wear shorts. Instead I just roll up the bottom of my skinny jeans so that they show my ankle. I go to my drawer and pull out a baggy striped shirt that hangs over one shoulder and under that I wear a black tank top.

My long brown hair hangs past my shlouder and I decide to just leave it down. I look my self over in the mirror and as I do that Jane walks back into the room. When did she even leave? Oh well it doesnt matter. I decide that my outfit is good but I still turn to Jane and ask what she thinks.

She looks down at my pants and I can tell that shes wondering why I decided to wear jeans today but she doesnt say anything about it, and gives me a thumbs up. 

I reach into my closet and drag out the suit case that I had packed with her not that long ago. I also grab my purse and through my phone in there. I had already packed my purse ahead of time with all the things that I might need to carry with me on the cruise. I lug the suit case down the stairs and I can here water running, my moms probably taking her shower now. 

After almost tripping on the stairs more than once while trying to keep the suit from falling over, I finally make it down stairs. I'm the first one down and its still pretty dark outside. I go ahead and start the coffee and I make myself a bagel. I check the time on the oven clock and see that is already 5:30. Wow that went by fast. 

I hear my sister coming down the stairs next.

"Good morning Rose!" She is way to happy for what time it is. "Hey wheres mom and dad?" 

"Well mom is hopefully taking her shower and dads is probably just getting up."

"Oh, okay. So did Raven tell you about 1D on our cruise!?" Did I mention that Jane also loves One Direction?
