When can you come to California Em! :(
Riley said through twitter, I had never met Riley, I dont know how we really started talking, it started one day about a year ago, we both followed each other and we got talking. We spoke all day everyday, we became best friends, I have been dying to meet her.
I dont know Ri :( I really hope I can come soon!
I replied, I really wanted to meet her but I dont ever see that being possible, I would never have the money to get to California. I have asked my parents many times if we could have a holiday there but they always refused. I dont know why they did, its not like they didnt have the money to do it, if they had the money to travel the world surely they had enough for us to have a trip to California.
"Em, are you even listening to me," I looked up from my phone to look at my best friend Evie, she looked a little annoyed.
"Sorry what did you say?" I asked as I locked my phone and placed it on the table in front of me.
"Seriously Em, will you stop spacing out on me, I havent seen you in a week," she sounded very annoyed now, I felt a little bad. She was right I hadnt seen her all week, we had both been super busy with other things, that happened a lot recently.
"Sorry Eve, what were you saying?" she sighed and shook her head.
"It doesnt matter anymore, my parents need me to get home," I just nodded as she stood up, I stood up too and gave her a quick hug, she grabbed her bag and walked out of the cafe.
I feel like we are slowly drifting apart, we never spend any time together, it had been like that since I started talking to Riley, I think Evie got a little jealous that I would spend all my time talking to Riley, because it used to be just me and her. We used to do everything together, we had known each other since the age of 4 when she moved to Florida.
I sighed before grabbing my bag and walking out of the cafe and heading home, I got home within about 15 minutes and as soon as I stepped in the door my parents called me into the living room, let a girl settle in first why dont you.
I walked into the living room to see them sitting down on one sofa, I walked over to the other, sitting down and looked at them, "whats up?" I asked leaning back.
"Well we have a surprise for you," I just nodded, I hated their surprises now a days, it usually consisted off were going on holiday or a cruise, I was getting tired of those, "well actually, its more of an early birthday present," my mom said, I just nodded yet again.
"Okay, what is it?" I said through a sigh, they knew I hated all these surprise holidays, right now I probably sound like a spoiled brat, but if you lived my life you would get tired of all the travelling too.
"Well your going on a trip this summer," I just groaned.
"Where are we going this time?"
"Not is Emma, you," my dad said, I just looked at him confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"Emma, we are sending you to California for the summer," my dad said, I just stared at him speechless. "We know you have always wanted to go there, so we are sending you there for your birthday, you will spend the whole summer there and you can even meet that girl that you are always talking about,"
My eyes began to water, they had always said I needed to be careful about Riley, I cant believe they are actually letting me go to California by myself for the whole entire summer. I quickly stood up and ran over to them pulling them into a tight hug.
"Thank you so much!" I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. I would have been happy to just spend a couple of weeks there, but to have the chance to spend the entire summer there!
They pulled out of the hug and smiled at me, "we know how much you have always wanted to go there, so we thought we could send you there for the summer," no one could wipe this smile off my face.
"I love you guys so much!" I hugged them one last time before running up stairs and turning my Mac on.
Once it was loaded, I went straight onto twitter, sending a DM to Riley.
GUESS WHO IS COMING TO CALIFORNIA BITCH! I sent, straight away I got a reply.
Omg no freaking way?! For how long!
The entire freaking summer!!!!
OMG IM SO EXCITED!!!!
We chatted for a few more hours before I finally started to feel tired, I was so excited to be able to go to California.
