"I'm so excited!" I say to my dad as I grab my suitcase and put it by the door. We're going to LA, well actually I'm going to la but he's staying with me for a couple of days, until my roommate Tiana comes. Tiana went to the school I went to after I moved.

Jack and I are still going strong, he and Jack moved to la last week.

"Okay, are you guys ready?" Rachel asks us.

"Yeah." I say. I grab my three suitcase and them outside. My dad unlocks the car and opens the trunk. He helps me put my bags in because I'm short and I'm wearing heels, he wanted me to make a good impression on the person giving me my keys.

I close the trunk and walk around and get in the backseat. I put my seatbelt on and take a picture of myself on snapchat and send it to Jack.

"Are you excited?" My dad asks while looking in the rearview mirror.

"Yeah, I can get away from you two." I joke(not really) my dad chuckles and turns on the radio.

"Do you have an aux cord?" I ask him.

"No, I have a cd." He says. He takes a cd out and puts it in, Jay-z starts playing. [my dad has a Shawn Carter cd aka Jay-z]

"I got 99 problem but a uh ain't one." My dad hates when I curse in front of them.

We arrive at the airport in twenty five minutes, I was glad that the drive wasn't long.

Rachel drops us off and we give each other hugs. My dad grabs my suitcase and I Hand him the boarding passes.

We put the suitcases on the scanner and all of them are 28.5 pounds, were good. We give the guy the suitcases and he puts it on a conveyer belt.

"I'm hungry." My dad says as we enter the airport.

"We can get food after we get through security." We walk through the airport and get in line for security. The line goes pretty fast and we're next. I show the lady the boarding passes and she marks them off and I put my shoes and purse in the bucket.

I walk through the detector and I get through smoothly and put my shoes and take my purse out of the bin. My dad walks through and he's okay and he puts his shoes back on and grabs whatever was in the bin.

"I want Starbucks." I say.

"Okay, I want French fries." He says.

"Dad, it's 5 am." I say. [when I went to Tennessee this happened with my dad]

"I don't care, I want some fries." He says. I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Look, fries are there and Starbucks is there, it's working out fine." He says. We walk over to Starbucks and he leaves and goes across the way for his fries.

I got in line and looked at the menu. I glanced at the case in front of me and looked back up at the menu.

"Next!" I walked over to the cash register.

"Can I get a grande Caramel frappe and a chocolate muffin?" I ask.

"Okay, your total is $6.50." She says. I pull out my card and swipe it.

"Can I get a name?" I put my card back.

"Mahlia." I say. She writes it down on cup and I walk over to a small table and sit down.

I wait a couple of minutes and my name still hasn't been called.

"Lia!" I groan, knowing that's me. I walk up and grab the muffin and drink.
