Just hang in there! ON HIATUS

Chapter 1

"Lain, get up, breakfast is ready." "I'm coming I'm just getting changed!" I yelled back down to my brother. Today was the day, I was getting my letter back front the music school of London. Whether I made it in or not was not going to effect my sanity though. I promised myself I wouldn't flip if I didn't make it in. In fact, there were other colleges I applied to also, just in case.

"What's for breakfast, brother dearest?" I said in a sweet voice to my brother. "A buffet of pancakes, waffles, and biscuits for you my dearest sister." You see that's how my brother and I are. We like to joke around a lot and away tons of pranks on each other. Did I mention I was one of the biggest prankers in the history of my high school? Well, I was, wait oh no now I sound conceited! Sorry I'm not like that just getting used to being awake. Anyway your probably wondering where our parents were. Well they are both doctors so they had to leave extra early to get to work. That leaves my brother and I hear in the big house my parents have acquired from their jobs alone. No that wouldn't mean we throw late night parties or stuff like that. We make prank but my brother and I are very responsible, most of the time.

We prank but we aren't immature in a party sort of way. As far as my life goes its been pretty good. I definitely can't complain. My brother and I are only two years apart so we are very close. My parents were always there when I was younger, but once we were old enough to be watched by the house workers they went to work more often. Of course Im not complaining, they still made as much time as they could for my brother and I. Elliot, goes to college in California on a sports scholarship he earned during high school athletics. During the holidays we even fly out to him and spend time in California. Oh yeah, how could I forget? My dearest friends Amberlynn and Hope. Don't let Amberlynn catch you call her by her full first name though, it's always just Amber.

Hope has gorgeous straight blond hair and the perfect crystal blue eyes and freckles to match. She enjoys playing the piano as much as I guitar. Her voice is good compared to most, too. None of us are very girly-girlish nor are we down right tomboy. Basically none of are fan girls and we don't wear pink. That is forbidden we would rather spend the day at home having a harry-potter marathon then going to mall to look at dresses. Hope is very athletic also. We have both been playing on the volleyball team sense seventh grade. Before that we always went to camps for volleyball. Speaking of camp that's wear Hope and I met. At summer camp when we eight years old. Ah, what misfits we were back then. ( we kinda still are to, but shhh) Hope just like me, is 19 years old. Turns out her parents both work in the medical field to so we ended up living in the same neighborhood together not to far away. So to some up Hope: athletic, kind, carefree, sarcastic, funny, sassy, pretty but she won't admit it, loves music, and is a great best friend. Huh, she is like exactly like me. No wonder we are friends.

Then we have the one and only Amber. With her strawberry blond waves of hair and mesmerizing green eyes she is a knockout. She is just as fit as me and Hope to. Hope and I met Amber when we were nine years old at volley camp. We immediately clicked and became the best threesome ever to exist. Okay, maybe I over exaggerated that a bit. But we are pretty darn close if not. Amber has an older brother who is friends with my older brother. She also has a younger brother that is three years younger. She is the only girl out of her siblings. Her mum and dad both are well-known authors so they are well-off to. She also lives in the neighborhood with us. Also, she is 19 just like Hope and I. Out of the three of us she probably has the best luck so guys, but she is definitely not a slut about it. Another Bobbie we have is to swim ALOT during the summer. Seriously, we spend as much time in the pool during the summer, as voldemort does spending thinking about ways to get rid of harry potter! How would I sum up Amber? Basically, just like Hope and I.

As far as our friendships go once we are at college? Well if college thinks it can tear us apart it can forget about. We have been through everything together. Form our first crush, first heartbreak, puberty, family issues, sports, grades, EVERYTHING! We know more about each other than our parents do. Hope is going to university in Australia to study science. She was always gifted in that class. I alway did well to, just not as good as her. For Amber, she is attending the one and only Juliard in New York. Her acting skills are amazing! She was practically a shoe in for that school sense age 2! Our parents are sad to see us go. But very proud of what we have become together. The girls and our families always tease me about becoming famous once I get to London. Usually I just laugh along and then say that that is ridiculous and move on to a new subject.

Am I leaving anyone else "special" behind, though? No, I mean it's Lainey Potter you are talking to for heavens sake. My last boyfriend and I lasted all the way from ninth grade through to eleven. No I didn't have one of one devastating break-ups that leave you in bed with Ben & Jerry's for weeks. We just both lost the feeling. You would think we would ignore each tiger after that, but we are still very close friends. Amber and Hope were shocked how well I handled that relationship. You probably want to know if they are leaving someone behind also, right? Well, Amber is leave her long-term boyfriend, Peter, behind. They have it worked out though. He is attending a school not to far away from her and they can visit on certain weekends. Sometimes I envy their relationship and how well they work together. Hope on the other hand is a single Pringle like myself. She says she'll probably find a cute Aussie boy at college, anyways.

"Thanks for breakfast Elliot," I said to my brother as I finished eating. After helping out with the dishes I couldn't control myself any longer. " CAN I GO CHECK THE MAIL NOW!" I screamed out of excitement and anticipation to my brother. He just laughed and said through the chuckles, " Yeah the mail man came by right before you came downstairs. I was wandering how long it was gonna take you to ask." " WHAT? WHY DIDN'T you say something?" Obviously, sense my acting skills aren't nearly as good as Ambers I couldn't pretend to be mad at my brother any longer and joined him on the floor in a fit of uncontrollable, pointless laughter.

"We'll, what are you waiting for? Go fetch the mail doggy." my brother teased me. "Haha very funny, WOOF WOOF!" NOW TO THE MAILBOX. I then proceeded to "fly" to the mailbox being the amazing chic I am and get the mail. Junk, junk, bill, bill, UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC IN LONDON LETTER!! Eep I'm so nervous, excited, worried, and scared at the same time. Is that normal? Probably not, but we all know I'm not normal. My brother then proceeded to tell me to hurry up and open it. So for once I listened to my brother and ripped open the sealed envelope that could make or break a once and a lifetime dream of mine.

Dear Ms.Potter( ms. Potter? That is way to proper for me)

As head mistress of S.M.L( school of music in London) and behalf of all the staff members here I would like to congratulate you on making it in to the school! ( u dropped the paper and started running around screaming) after about ten minutes I calmed down and continued....

"After reading through your application and watching the videos you submitted we were more than obliged to offer you a full scholarship to SML. We hope to see you there Ms. Potter. If so, please fill out your enrollment information below."

The rest of the day was spent with Elliot, Hope, Amber, and their siblings. We all hung out at the beach and that night Mum and Dad came and had a dinner party with us! Mum then proceeded to help me fill out the information sheets. Not to long after all the kids decided to watch a movie and by half way through we were all asleep in the living room...

The whole night while I was asleep I could only dream of SML & the new life that awaits me there. Little did I know that I was going to become more than just a random college going student in London....
