Leah Cranston

"What?!" I scream into the phone to my best friend, Chloe.

"Everything's set! I can't believe we're finally going!"

"I am so excited, oh my god!" I pinch myself to check if this isn't a dream.

"Me too. And what's even better, Austin!"

"Okay......" I sigh. "So how did you convince him to come with us again?"

"I have my ways." She giggles a little over the phone.

"No seriously. You never told me exactly how you got him, wait no, them to come with us."

"Why do you hate them so much, Leah? Loosen up."

"I don't hate them, it's just that," I sigh. "You know how long I've been waiting to do this. You of all people should know." Money wasn't the problem for my family. It was my overprotective parents that was the problem for my long awaited trip. I'm an only child, and my parents are way too protective over me. Yeah, I get they want me to safe and all that, but still.

I'm sure there's someone out there that can relate to me. Right?

"Yeah, I know Lee." She says. I sigh. I used to not like that nickname very much, don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against the name Lee, it's just that I really don't think it suits me and the fact that my name's not Lee. But I guess I'm used to it now. Somebody had made me get used to it.

"Well anyway, the tickets are booked and our flight is next Tuesday! I'll text you the flight times and stuff. My parents have sorted it out with your parents so it's all good to go I think."

"Yay! That's so good! God, I have been waiting for this for so long."

"Me too! I'll probably meet up with you tomorrow."

"Okay, I guess I'll see you to tomorrow then. Night."

"Night, Lee." She says and I get into bed and scroll through my Facebook feed.

Austin O'dwyer : Hey Leah. Did u hear from Chloe? ;)

A message pops up and I press into it. I know Austin, but not very well, I used to be head cheerleader for his football team and I did talk to him sometimes and when I hung out with Maddox we did hang out as a group but it wasn't really enough to know a lot about him. I think he's a sweet person in general though.

And Maddox...... Maddox is Austin's friend that's coming on this trip with us. Maddox and I used to date last year but then I broke up with him because he cheated on me. But apparently he was 'drunk' but that didn't really make me feel any better. But I'm over it now. I still talk to him, because I don't wanna get hung up on something stupid like that.

And the relationship between Chloe and Austin. Well. Where should I start? Chloe's had a crush on Austin for a really, really, really long time. Nearly as long as I've been best friends with her. And as a witness for her trying to get his attention, I really applaud her on that. And especially for this time, on how she got Austin to come with us. She's probably more excited on him coming than she is for the actual trip.

You might wonder, would my parents allow me to go with two guys that they don't really know? That took a really long time to sort out. They knew Maddox because I dated him, but they haven't heard very good things about him from me. But I lied saying that everything I said about him was a joke, and that we're still dating, even though it was very hard to convince my parents, but they came around eventually. And I may have possibly said that Austin and Chloe are really, really, really close friends? Chloe told her parents that too and it all worked out in the end. That's what matters, right? But I do trust them, it's not like they're guys that I would never want to hang out with.

You : yea she called me just now I can't wait :)

Austin O'dwyer : me neither just a week to go!

You : yea haha

He doesn't message me for a few minutes.

Austin O'dwyer : I guess I'll see u next week then ;)

You : sounds good ;)

I smile a little as I send that last message as the reality of this sinks in a little more.
