Dreaming Big (Angie Miller)

iHop Races

Chapter 13: I Surrender

That morning, a text awoke me.

^^^^^^^^^^

From:Kree

Hey!The top ten want to get breakfast together!Want to come??

To:Kree

Yeah, sure!Where?

From:Kree

We were thinking Waffle House!

To:Kree

You mean the gas station bathroom that serves waffles?Why don't we go to iHop?

From: Kree

Bahaha!Yeah, that sounds great I'll ask them!

^^^^^^^^^^

I opened up my messages and saw my brother's face with the word MUFFIN!! next to it.

I really missed my family.I decided to call Jon.

"Hey!Angie!How's it going little sis?"

"Great!I've been getting great feedback from my performances."

"I saw that!Check out my sister, the celebrity!"

"Haha, well, I miss you."

"I miss you too.But, you know, the longer your gone, your dreams are coming true more and more in life.So it's good that you're gone."

"Yeah.How are Mom and Dad?"

"Good.They go on and on for hours about how proud they are of you."

"Aww!"

"I am too."

I looked down at my phone to see that I'd gotten another text from Kree.

"Jon, sorry, but I really have to go and get ready." I said.

"Okay, I love you!"

"Love you too!Bye!"

"Bye!"

I love my brother. I almost forgot to to check that text from Kree while I was lost in my train of thoughts.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

From Kree:

They all said that that's fine!We'll be leaving in about an hour!We were meeting in the parking lot.

To Kree:

Okay!See you soon!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I took a five minute shower, determined to look good in the sixty minutes of time I had to do that.

I hunted through my suitcase for a cute shirt and dark jeans.I quickly dried off and put them on.

I dried my hair in record time, but it still took me a while to curl it just right.

When I finally finished, I did a double fist in the air, and grabbed my purse and slipped on some heels before sprinting out of the room.

After doing all that fast, I was still five minutes late.

I found everyone right in front of the hotel and heard a 'There she is!' Shout from the crowd of people as I ran towards them.

"Hey!Sorry I'm late!!" I said.

"That's alright.I'm sure you were just doing your hair." I heard I guy say that I recognized as Paul.

"You can't rush perfection!" I said, flipping my hair and putting on a goofy smile.

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, we're gonna have to take two cars." I heard Candace say."Do you want to take yours?" She asked, looking at me.

"Umm, I don't have my license." I said with a funny face.Everyone laughed again.

"How old are you?" Amber asked.

"19!!I know, I know!It's so sad!" I said with a smile.

"What, did you fail?"Curtis asked.

"Yes!I failed like twice!!" I said, having to put my hands on my knees to keep from falling due to laughter.

"Well, anyways," Burnell started,"Who's taking their car?"

"I'll take mine!" Kree volunteered.

"Me too!" Devon said,"I know where it is, so you can follow me.

"Okay!" Kree continued,"I can take Angie, Candice, Amber, and Jenelle with me."

"Okay, I'll take Curtis, Burnell, Paul, and Lazaro.Girls against guys." He said with a hard stare.

"Alright," Kree started,"But I know where iHop is too." She said as the two separate groups walked off backwards, staring each other down.

As the other group went out of view, we dashed for the car, scrambling to get in.

We all got in and started to drive.We saw the guys' car behind us, did a little cheer.

I noticed the sign for iHop not to far down the road, but the guys had this idea of switching lanes to get in front of us.

We started freaking out once the guys got in front of us, and we couldn't get around.

We started driving slower, right on their tail, but then they missed the turn for iHop.We started cheering again, and got out high fiving each other.

We decided to look fierce and lean on the car waiting for them.As they got out, I said, "Forgot something?" And everybody laughed.

We went in and waited for the waitress to seat us.On the way I was stopped by the two cutest girls who wanted a picture and an autograph.

They were so cute I was tempted to squeeze their cheeks, but managed to keep my cool.

I caught up with everyone and decided to get pancakes.I had to excuse myself from the table to go to the bathroom after thinking of Lydia again.

I started to sing our under my breath.

"Cakes who have pan in them, pancakes!

We make them when we wake up, we put chocolate chips in them, and they real great and they taste real great!

And they're not really nutritious, but they sure as heck are delicious!

So let's make them, let's make them, they're cakes with pan in them, cakes with pan in them, cake cake cake cake cake cakes with pan in them!"

I smiled before heading back to the table.My pancakes arrived, chocolate, of course, and a took a picture and sent it to Lydia labeling it,

CAKES WITH PAN IN THEM!

I dug in, enjoying my chocolate chip pancakes.They were delicious!

By the time we were finished, everyone was full, and didn't have the energy to have another car race.

We were tired and got to the hotel and prepared for tonight.
