After a relentless 6 hours of parading around the mall admiring everything we couldn't afford, we went back to my house and prepared for a long movie night. As soon as we got home, we ran up to my room, changed into the comfiest and baggiest pajamas we could find, and ran back down the stairs and grabbed the pop corn and soda.

We sat in my den and put on Pitch Perfect, which is by far our favorite movie, and plopped ourself on my long, curved, plush couch.

During the previews, my mom walked in the front door, carrying a crap load of work and stumbling over her own feet.

"Hey Paula, can you give me a hand?" She asked in a low, struggling voice.

"Yeah! C'mon Anna help me out please." I said pulling her up and off of the couch.

We ran to my mother and grabbed the piling papers and bags from her hands and placed them on my dining room table.

"Why must you bring so much work home?" I said sounding very irritated. "Why can't you just come home work free and watch a movie with us?"

"No no, not tonight" she said looking down and rumbling through her papers. "But, i do have some amazing news Pauly" she said looking straight up at me.

I hated that nickname, but she loved it and referred to me as "Pauly" ever since i was little so i just dealt with it for her happiness.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" I questioned, still sounding annoyed and not really interested.

I turned and threw a look at Anna letting her know how upset i was, which she already knew. She knew that all i ever wanted was to have one peaceful, relaxing night with my mom that didn't involve any work, but not even in my dreams.

"Yes! And you might not believe it, but here you go." She said handing me three pieces of paper, tightly gripping them and building up the tension.

I ripped the papers out of her hand and flipped them right side up and began to read the tiny print. My jaw slowly dropped while my eyes began to widen. I honestly couldnt believe it. I turned to Anna and my open mouth slowly curved into the biggest smile ever. I threw the papers up in the air and jumped on my mother screaming and thanking her.

"Woah woah woah. What the hell is going on?" Anna said staring at me as if i had 4 heads. She patiently observed me as i managed to compose myself and make my way towards her.

"Anna, we're spending our entire summer in LA!!" I said screaming again and picking Anna up and swinging her around, squeezing her tight and literally taking her breathe away.

"Oh wow that's great!" She said, her lips turning into a frown as she stared at the floor.

"Don't you worry Anna, i already talked to your mom and you're coming with us!" My mom said walking towards her and also embracing her in a tight, long hug.

"Oh my God!!" We both said screaming as we hugged and danced around my dining room.

My heart beat was out of control and I was beyond happy. I was finally going to have a summer jam packed with excitement and adventure. As i continued to process the news i just receieved, i thought of all the wonderful things in LA.

We were going to see celebrities. Get the best of tans. Visit the most beautiful beaches. Meet the most attractive boys and just have a blast. At the moment my life was perfect. I was going on an amazing, relaxing trip with my mom and best friend. I had it set in my mind that my summer is going to be the best.

"I must remind you" my mom said hesitating to finish her sentence. "...this IS a business trip.."

I threw another annoyed/upset glance at Anna and put my head down. After realizing how much fun i was goin to have, i picked my head back up and planted a kiss on my moms cheek, letting her know it was okay and i had to accept it.

"Well, when are we leaving?" I asked, anxiously staring at my mom waiting for the answer.

"Tomorrow! Get packing now girlies."

Anna and I ran to my room and rummaged through my closet for my suitcase and immediately flung it open. We packed bathing suits, shorts, sunglasses, deoderant, perfume, and all other necessities for the trip. I was too excited to even concentrate.

We made a quick trip to Anna's house, grabbed her suitcase and necessities, and she showered her mother with hugs and kisses. They said their goodbyes now because we were to be leaving early tomorrow morning. I gave her mom hugs and kisses too and we made our way back to my house.

We piled all of our suitcases at the front door and scurried upstairs into my room and tried to fall asleep right away, knowing we were in for a treat the next morning.
