*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

That was my call! I shot my eyes open, turned off my alarm and jumped out of bed.

My luggages were already packed from yesterday. So all I had to do was get dressed and meet up with my classmates.

Hold up, hold up. I forgot to tell you where I'm going and what I'm doing.

My name is Danielle Cruz.

Today is June 3rd. Not only the first day of Summer, but my birthday and the day I got on a Summer Field Trip with my 2015 class of Seniors to Omaha Island.

I guess Omaha Island is by Hawaii, but I never really paid attention. I am just so excited to go because I am no longer in school, No work for a month, Plans for Summer and I am going to experience a crazy Summer with my best friend Julie. (The blonde)

You have to love last minute! Julie and I were going to have the worst Summer ever if we didn't come up with the money. I mean would you be able to come up with $1,000 in a month for a field trip.

I had to work extra hours, do chores and go all out plus do all my final exams.

But it will all pay off once I get to work on my Summer Body and Tan on the beautiful Omaha Island.

A/N: Clearly I am making up Omaha Island. Not sure if it is actually a real thing, but in this story it is and that is where the Omaha boys are from!

I went to the bathroom and changed into comfortable clothes since I am kinda gonna be on a plane for a day or two.

Yeah I think it's gonna be a day to travel from New York to Omaha!

Anyways, I changed into my Lacrosse Sweatpants which were Red and White (Go Tigers) and a loose, flowing, white crop top. I slipped on my White Converse and threw my brown, silky hair into a messy bun.

No need for makeup today, even though it might be a good idea since I'm gonna be in front of all of my peers!

I shrugged my shoulders and went to brushing my teeth. Whilst I was looking down at the sink, brushing my teeth, I felt hands pinch my sides causing me to jump and spit out my toothpaste.

I turned around to see my Mother, Giovanna. Yeah another think I forgot to mention, we are Italian and I have an older Sister who doesn't live with us in New York.

"Good Morning Mama, you nearly scared the shit out of me" I said spitting out the excess toothpaste and rinsing my mouth.

"Good Morning Baby and I am sorry, but I am really gonna miss you while your gone. Just me and Zeus in the house" she said looking down to the floor.

I looked down to see our Yorkie Puppy, Zeus. He is the only one my Mom has when I am gone because my Sister, Gianna lives in Cali and our Father passed away when I was 15.

"I'm gonna miss you too Mama" I said hugging her tightly.

"I have some things for you before you leave me" She said giggling.

I laughed and she backed away a few. She walked out of my bathroom and came back in with presents.

"What is this" I said smirking.

"A birthday and travel gift or gifts I shoulder say" She said smiling widely.

My Mom is like my other best friend, just being her and I means we spend a lot of time together.

"Open the biggest to the smallest" She said handing me the gifts.

I placed them on the sink counter and took the biggest bag.

I dug through it slowly and smiled when I saw the gift.

It was clothes!

A few bathing suits, sundresses, sandals and flower-crowns.

"Damn Mama, you have good taste" I giggled looking through the clothes.

"Thank you" I smiled.

"Save the Thank You's for last babe" She chuckled.

I went to the second biggest bag.

I went through it and saw RayBans, my Favorite Snacks, and a Travel Backpack.

I smiled and went to the next gift.

I opened the bag and it was a huge scrapbook and also a box. I looked through the scrapbook and then opened the box. It was a Camera!

"So you can take pictures and put them in the scrapbook for memory" She whispered.

I teared a little at all the amazing gifts. Then I went to the next one.

All the rest of the gifts were boxes and they were similar sizes.

I opened the rest of them. They were A Necklace, Bracelet, Anklet, Rings and $600.

I was shocked as I opened the last present which was the money.

"This is all too much Mama" I said smiling from ear to ear.

"But I would do anything for my baby girl" she said hugging me.

"Thank you so much for everything, I love them all and I love you"!

"I love you too baby. Now come downstairs and eat before I have to drop you off" She said.

"Let me put these in my luggage first" I grabbed all of my gifts and went into my room, my Mom following behind me.

I had 2 huge luggages and one tiny one that had everything I needed. I put my gifts in the luggages and then followed my Mom downstairs.

We sat at the breakfast table, ate and talked about the whole trip.

After eating I grabbed my luggage and placed it in my Mom's Car trunk.

I got into the passenger seat and she started driving to the airport where I will meet up with the rest of my class.

Now that I was actually leaving to the airport I thought more about how much I was gonna miss my Mom. She is always here for me when Julie isn't.

I love her and I don't know if leaving to Omaha is worth leaving my Mother lonely at home....
