Camellia's POV:

I wake up to my phone buzzing.

I take it in my hand. The bright light blinds me for a few seconds, but as I rub the sleep out of my eyes, I begin to see again.

"8 new messages?" I blink away the spots as I open my messages. They're all from Lorne.


*Hey.

-Lorne*

*Guess what?

-Lorne*

*MY DAD IS COMING BACK FROM HIS BUSINESS TRIP IN MICHIGAN!

-Lorne*

*YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Lorne*

*!!

-Lorne*

*!!

-Lorne*

*YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Lorne*

*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Lorne*


I yawn and look at my alarm clock before typing in my response.

*That's GREAT! YEY! I'm going back 2 sleep, it's 2 in the morning! Night!

-Camille*

*Ok night Camille!

-Lorne*

*Night.

-Camille*


I set my phone back on my bedside table and fall back into my pillow.


I smack my alarm clock off when it blares loudly, and sit up quick enough to make my head spin.

Tuesday. One more day until summer. Even though it's only my second day at my new high school, I can't wait for it to end! Plus, Lorne's dad is coming back from Michigan soon! That's great! I'm so happy for him!

I push my covers off of me and swing my legs over the side of my bed. Than I force myself up and find some clothes in my closet. A plain loose fit yellow tee, and dark ripped jean shorts. I slide on my clothes and head downstairs for some food.

I munch on a peanut butter meal replacement chewy bar with cranberries, as Piper comes downstairs. She's still in her striped pj shorts and a tee that reads, "I Hate When I Don't Get My Chocolate" on the front. A little chocolate bar under the bold print.

"Hey." She says, yawning. "I thought we ran out of those."

"Nope, Dad bought some more." I say, getting up to throw the wrapper away.

"Cool." Piper smiles as I leave to go get ready.

I jog up the stairs with more of a skip to my step than usual, and make my way to the bathroom.

I brush on some mascara and a little eyeliner. I add some blush to my cheeks, and a thin necklace with a tiny silver butterfly to my outfit, than I go to make sure my bag is packed.

I get a text when I sit on my couch, waiting for Piper to be ready so I can walk her to her bus stop, than I can walk to mine.


*Hey, want Jett & Jax 2 pick us up & take us 2 school so we don't have 2 ride the bus?

-Lorne*
