California Dream

Chapter 4

We pull up the driveway and jump out of the car. "Don't forget your bear in the back," Erin says.

"Got it," I reply reaching for my bear I won at the pier that I had all the O2L boys sign.

We walk upstairs going immediately to the closet in my room. "So do you have an idea of what you want to wear?" Erin asks.

"No not really. I guess it all just depends on where we go."

"True, considering this is the first time you two will ever be hanging out we have to make it really cute but nothing that over does it," she says.

We rummage through my closet picking out two different outfits. One for if we do something casual and another for if we do something a bit nicer.

We decide for the casual- a pair of light lime green high waisted shorts with a white crop top tshirt and white converse. For the nicer outfit- a short form fitting pink and blue tribal print skirt with a black flowing tank top to match the tribal print. We top it off with black grecian style sandals.

My phone begins to vibrate and my heart starts to race. I quickly pick it up and answer, "hello?"

"Hey, is this Annie?" Connor says on the other end.

"Yeah,"

"Hi, it's Connor," he says with a bit of nervousness in his tone.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Nothing really we just finished the meet up and we're about to leave. I'm just waiting for the rest of the gu-" Connor's voice cuts off and all I hear is someone yell "I got your phone," in a mocking tone.

It somewhat startles me when a different voice starts to talk saying, "Hi I'm Kian! What's your name!"

I answer back playing along with Kian, "My name is Annie."

"Well Annie I like Connor so back off gurl," he says in a sassy girl tone.

I laugh a little, "ok Kian, can you put Connor on the phone?"

The phone starts to rustle but before anyone says something I hear Connor yell, "you're such an idiot Kian!" Then he puts the phone to his ear and begins to talk, "I'm really sorry about that" he says. "Kian's just such an idiot."

"It's fine" I say back, "we all have that one friend."

"True, so what would you want to do tonight?" He asks.

"I'm fine with anything," I say

"How's Starbucks and shopping sound?"

"That sounds great!"

"Meet me at the Starbucks that's on Rosewood at around 5:30," he says.

"Will do," I say

"Bye."

"Bye," I say through a smile. I hang up the phone and check the time- 3:00. Only two and a half hours until I go on a date with Connor!

Since we're going to Starbucks then shopping I decide to wear the casual outfit. I take a long shower hoping it'll help pass time. I blow my hair dry and straighten it, then check the time again- 4:00.

"Erin! I'm ready!" I call downstairs.

"I'll be up in a sec," she calls back.

I quickly get dressed. "knock, knock."

"Come in," I say. the door creaks open and Erin walks in carrying her makeup bag. After about an hour of breathing in foundation and having my eyes poked one or two times I stand in front of my full length mirror.

My makeup is absolutely perfect and my outfit is cute but doesn't overdo it, just the way Erin planned. "Thank you so much for helping me get ready," I say giving her a hug.

"Don't mention it," she says smiling. "It's what best friends are for." I give her another hug and check the time- 5:15.

"I better get going. I think I'm just going to ride my penny board there," I say.

"No I'm not letting that happen, I'm driving you there," she states not leaving any room for me to state my opinion.

"Ok fine lets get going." I grab my brown leather shoulder cross purse and head outside to the car.

"Ready?" Erin asks.

"Ready."

We drive through the busy streets of LA for about five minutes until we arrive at Starbucks.

"See ya later!" I say as I climb out of the car.

"Have fun!" she yells out the window as I walk to the door.

I walk in and I'm completely surrounded by the glorious smell of coffee. I look around and spot Connor at a table in the far corner.

N/R sorry about the way I described the purse I couldn't think of what the purses that you put over your head were called so I just said shoulder cross purse. Please vote guys! and comment any of your thoughts on the story I really appreciate feedback! thanks for reading!
