"Look, I'm sorry I said that. You aren't even an orphan anymore." Trevor said walking to my bed and sitting.
"It's fine. It's just..nevermind."
"You can tell me."
"It's just..I used to be called Ms. Orphan by someone I hated in the orphanage. It brings back memories.." I broke off and looked out my window.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be." I stood up and threw the pillow and blanket on my bed. I walked to the door and turned back to Trevor still sitting on my bed.
"Let's go eat some pancakes we made." I smiled and held out my hand.
"Don't forget the mess we have to clean up!" Trevor said putting one finger in the air. He grabbed my hand and we walked to the kitchen.
I walked to the cabinet to get a plate. I pulled one down and walked to where the large stacks of pancakes were.
"Um..where are the pancakes?" I asked standing there staring at the empty plate that used to be stacked full.
"In my stomach." Ricky cheered.
"Yeah." Jc mumbles with food in his mouth.
"These are great, Kay!" Connor yelled from the living room.
"Mhmmm!!" Sam and Kian nod together.
"Glad you liked them." I sighed and put my plate back up in the cabinet. I walked to the pantry and pulled out a big bag of sour patch kids.
"Are we doing anything today?" I asked sitting down on the couch next to Connor.
"If you want to." Ricky said while all of the boys walked in the room. I open up the bag of sour patch kids and eat one.
"What is there to do in LA?" I asked popping a blue one in my mouth. All of the boys smirked to each other mischievously and looked back to me.
"Go get ready." Kian stated with a smirk.
"I'll go clean the kitchen for you. Ricky and Jc will you help?" Trevor said walking to the kitchen. Jc and Ricky followed.
"What are we doing?" I stood up with my candy.
"Just dress comfortably." Connor said with a smirk.
"Okay?" I said in more of a question way and walked to my room. I set down my candy and grabbed a gray tanktop that ironically says 'I'll figure out the mystery..once I'm in LA' and pulled on a pair of white short-shorts. I ran to the bathroom to do my hair and make-up.
I ended up putting my hair up in a messy bun and added my layer of mascara to my eyes. I walked to the living room, my vans in hand. The boys took one look at me and smirked again.
"Nice shirt." Jc commented.
"Thanks?" Once again, my statement came out as more of a question.
"Leggo!" Connor yelled. I grabbed my phone off of the kitchen counter. Suprisingly, the kitchen looked as clean as it was before I had a food fight in it.
We raced to the elevator. Except, I was on Connor's back and Trevor was on Ricky's. Of course me and Connor won. After that I was blindfolded. The boys said they all had to do this when they moved to LA or they had to leave O2l. Which means that I am scared to death right now!!
They used my bandana I was using as a headband and tied it around my head. I literally was so scared like I couldn't see and I was trusting 6 teenage boys to direct me to safety. I don't even know what I was thinking!!
"Just sit down and relax. We'll be there soon." Ricky said. Suddenly, the music blasted and I felt the car start moving.
*****
"We are here!" Sam shouted. All of the boys got out and helped me out.
"Connor you can do the honors." Ricky said.
"You ready, Kay?" Connor asked me while putting his hands on the blindfold.
"Mhmm." I responded. I felt the blindfold be untied so I opened my eyes.
"What are we doing here?" I glanced around the place. It was like we were in the middle of no where surounded by trees. All of the boys snickered.
"This is where we got to know each other." Ricky replied motioning towards the trees.
"And how did you do that? By making flower crowns for each other with the wild flowers?" I asked no one in particular sarcastically.
"You'll see." Kian said with a smirk.
Jc motioned for me to follow him. I glanced at Connor and he nodded to me in reassurance. All I could do is hope that they don't kill me. I followed Jc with the boys following behind me for what seemed like forever. The sun was starting to go down when we finally hit a clearing.
"What are we doing here?" I asked as all of the boys took a seat. I just sat down next to Connor and soon realized what this whole trip was for. The view. It was mesmerizing. The sun was setting perfect and it looked like it could set the field on fire. The sun was almost completely down when I heard some bushes rustling.
"Dad.."
"Katie..."
"I think someone might be out there."
"Ignore it Katie." I couldn't just ignore creepy sounds. Are you kidding!? I turned around looking at the bushes and faced the sunset again. I heard the noises once more but all of the boys did too this time.
We all faced the bushes and I grabbed Connor's hand. He pulled me to his chest and Ricky stood up and walked to the bush. As he was getting close to it, Andrea, Jenn, and Jack jumped out.
"AHHHHH!" We all scrame. I ended up in Connor's lap with his arms squeezing the life outta me. Jenn, Andrea, and Jack were rolling on the ground laughing so hard. We all calmed down enough and started a fire.
Sam and kian had gotten some sticks when we were watching the sunset.
"So how did you 3 know we would be out here?" Trevor asked while taking a seat on one out of 6 logs we pulled up near the fire earlier.
"We figured you would bring Katie out here since, you know, this is your secret place. Also since this is her first time in LA." Andrea responded. The guys just nodded their heads.
"By the way, I'm Jenn. And this is Andrea and Jack." Jenn said, gesturing the other two to me.
"Hi! I'm Katie." I waved. They smiled.
"Oh yeah by the way, did any of you bring sleeping bags?" Jack asked.
"Yeah their in Kian and Jc's bags."
"Okay good because I was thinking we could camp out here tonight." Jack suggested. I turned to Connor and smiled really big.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jack said and started laughing. He pulled out 3 bags of marshmallows, 5 packs of hersheys, and 3 boxes of graham crackers. Kian grabbed some small sticks that we could put marshmallows on to roast.
*****
I woke up in a sleeping bag with Trevor. I quickly remembered last night. After we roasted the marshmallows and made smores, we decided to go to bed. We were short one sleeping bag so Connor gave me and Trevor his sleeping bag that was fit for two. We were instantly asleep.
I wiggled out of the sleeping bag, hoping not to wake up Trev. I sat on one of the logs and decided to wake everyone else up.
I turned on the song Shut Up and Dance With Me and started singing and dancing. Almost instantly I had Jenn and Andrea dancing with me. Everyone else moaned and groaned.
Once everyone was packed up, we left. Me and the other two girls exchanged phone numbers before me and the boys left.
I fell asleep in the backseat of the car on Jc's lap. I was carried to my room and placed in my bed. I slipped into a peaceful sleep to the memories of last night.
