Road Trip

Chapter 2: The Arrival

(Still Esme's POV)

It'd been almost a 3 day trip! Once we finally arrived in California, we drove straight into LA and blasted Sam Adams, "LA Story." (video on the left) We said that was going to be our song of the summer.

It was 1:00 here, wow these time differences really had us all messed up. We were so tired but we figured we shouldn't go to sleep right now since we didn't even know where to go plus our sleeping patterns would be all messed up. We ended up just finding somewhere to park. We got out our penny boards and tried to find a place to eat. 

We found a small pizza place to eat at. Not even an hour into being in Cali and we were already spending money... oh boy!

LA was packed, we probably should have put on some makeup before we got here. What if we see any cute guys?! Oh my gosh, how embarrassing!

We took our time to eat the pizza. While we ate, we talked about what we could do while we were here, where we will sleep, and we sort of made our own little bucketlist. On the napkin infront of me I wrote:

Cali Bucket List 

1) Meet cute boys.... DUH!

2) See the Hollywood sign

3) Ride our penny boards EVERYWHERE!

4) Go to Disneyland and Universal Studios

5) Meet a Celebrity

6) Visit Venice Beach and Palm Springs

7) Go to the San Diego Zoo

8) Take a picture infront of the Goldon Gate Bridge

9) ... California Club ;)

10) Maybe find a boyfriend?

By the time we finished eating and talking it was already 6:00! We were so exhausted. 

"Let's go back to the car and find somewhere to go for the night" Farrah said.

"Sure, I'll throw this away" I replied.

I grabbed all of our trash and right as I turned around I bumped right into someone.

"Oh my.... I'm SO sorry!!!!!" I quickly shouted as we both bent over to pick up everything I had just dropped.... what a clutz. 

"It's cool" he said. 

I looked up to see him staring at me. Brown eyes, rosey cheecks, and a cute smile. 

"I'll take that for you" he said holding his already full hands out.

"thanks...." I said. 

We both got up and he walked to the trash.

"Come on Es" Farrah called while tossing me my penny board. 

I skated out behind her.

"well...  uh... BYE THEN...." I heard a voice shout from behind me. 

I turned to see the boy that I had bumped into, waving at me. He looked a bit upset, probably just because I had spilt my trash all over him. 

I smiled slightly back at him before continuing off into the beautiful streets of Los Angeles. It was gorgeous here, the way the lights shine through the tall palm trees. 

I knew this was going to be an amazing summer. 

-----------------------------------------------------

We pulled into an area that wasn't so crowded. There were many appartments on this street, all the cars parked outside. Farrah parked the car near the rest and that's where we stayed for the night. 

I was kind of nervous to sleep in a car. I mean the windows weren't even tinted or anything. 

We used a bottle of water from the cooler and stepped out of the car to brush our teeth. Hey, it wasn't luxury but at least they were getting brushed. 

I grabbed my pillow and blanket from the back of the car and lowered the back of my seat. I tried to make myself comfortable but that wasn't too hard. I was just thankful to be lying down, ready to sleep. 

There was just one thing keeping me awake. All that was going through my head was the thought of the boy from the pizza place. I didn't even get a chance to talk to him, well I didn't really give him a chance at all. Stupid STUPID me! All there is now is his face stuck in my mind! The way he talked, the way he was so kind about all that had happend, something about him just wouldn't leave my mind. These thoughts needed to stop, it wasn't like I was ever going to see him again.... snap out of it Esme....

.... And so I did. I finally snaped out of that fantasy and I closed my eyes again and tried to fall asleep.
