Summer of Freedom

Keeping Away

"Seriously Mom." I yell into the phone.

"I'm serious Lily-Grace." My mom loves to use my full name." You will have to let her hang out with a week."

I fall back on to the bed."Well please don't let her stay in our room." I beg.

"Honey I'm not that cruel. She will be staying in a room of her own on the 2nd floor. You are on the 5th. Now remember her family dosn't have a lot of money don't invite her in the room to far. We don't want to make her feel bad." I love my mother.

Ding Dong

"Got to go Mom. Love you bye!" I hang up the phone and throw it down on the bed. Why Lara-Ann! Why did you have to come. I rush to the door. I see Emma, Cassie, and Mady standing next to the door unnoticeable. I open the door. There standing their is Lara-Ann with all her luggage.

"Lily!" she shrieks and hugs me.

I flinch and step back." Its Lily-Grace, first of all.Second don't hug me."

"Sorry. So anyways where do I put my stuff and who am I sharing a room with?" she says.

I stare at her with shocking eyes." Well, you obviously haven't checked in yet. Because there is not enough room for you in here. Okay now bye." I slam the door. 

I go to the bathroom. I hear shrieks. I finish and open the door that connects to Cassie's and Emma's. All three of them are laying on the bed looking at a pink Macbook Air. It must be Emma's. 

"Whatcha doing?" I ask.

"Looking at Lara-Ann's Twitter." Emma states simply.

I plop down next to Cassie."So what is she posting?"

 "Well." Emma was scrolling through her profile page." She says that she has just arrived in L.A and that she can't wait to see her BFFs."

"We are not her BFFs." Mady states.

"Wait she just posted that she is about to unpack and go hang out with us." Emma says.

Silence is all that could be heard throughout the hotel room. 

I broke the silence. "Well since we haven't eaten yet let's go to that litttle bistro we saw while shopping yesterday."

5 minutes later we are in Mady's BMW and driving away from the hotel.

"I just love my car."Mady says. 

We all groan."We known." I say. She shoots me a dirty look. I laugh.

 We pull up to the bistro. We walk in and seat ourselves. The place was quite and lovely. I love it.

"Hi welcome to Basil's Bar and Bistro. My name is Caleb and I will be your server tonight." The waiter named Caleb says to us. He is really good looking and I can tell he has abs under that shirt of his. I smile at him. He looks to be about 20.

"What can I get you ladies to start off with?" He asks. 

"Four Bloody Mary's please." Mady perks up and bats her eyelashes.

"I don't know girls you don't look to be 21. I'll need to see some ID." He says.

I smile seductively." I'm shore that won't be a problem." 

"Well." he starts to say.

"Thank you now come back with our drinks soon." I smile. He walks away.

We burst out laughing. Then my phone blares out Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. I changed it to that when we came out her cause it was a teenage dream. I look down to see who it is. Lara-Ann. I hit ignore.

"Who was that?" Emma asks.

"Lara-Ann." I say simply.

"Here are your drinks." Caleb sets down four Bloody Mary's.

"Thank you." I say.

"Are you ready to order?" he asks.

I nod." I will have a Chicken Caesar Salad. Dressing on the side." 

"I'll have a Black Bean Burger." Mady says.

"A Greek Salad." Cassie says.

"Cheeseburer. Only" Emma says.

He scribbles it down and walks off. I look up and see Lara-Ann walk by the restaurant."Don't look but Lara-Ann is walking by."

They all groan. But of course she looks my way and see's us. She waves and enters.

"Hey guys." she shouts across the room.

"Will we ever get a break." I say to them. 

I know the answer is never.
