A Trip to Remember Part 1

~Haley's POV~

My best friend, Kenzie, and I are packing for a trip that I have been waiting for since the beginning of the school year, and that was 9 months ago. We are headed to Washington D.C. for 4 weeks. I am so excited and Kenzie's boyfriend, Braxton, is going with us, well not with 'us' but with his friends. But the guy that I have a slight crush on is going, too. His name is Riley, and he is funny and nice and sweet, and is like one of the only popular boys who isn't a jerk.

"Haley, I know what you are thinking and you have more than a 'slight' crush on him. It is more like a major crush. And yes he IS like one of the only popular boys who isn't a jerk" Kenzie said literally reading my mind. My mouth dropped in shock, but I quickly pulled myself together.

"How do you do that?" I asked in shock and confusion.

"It's called twin telepathy."

"But we aren't twins."

"We could be." Our birthdays are 5 days apart. The only thing is is that she is like 8 inches taller than me. We are both spending our birthdays in D.C. Have I told you I am super excited for this trip? We got out of school 3 days ago and Kenzie's birthday is in 4 days, June 10, and my birthday is 5 days after that, June 15.

"Btw we are sitting with Braxton and his friends on the plane" Kenzie said casually.

"What! No! Riley is best friends with Braxton. I'll make a complete fool of myself" I exclaimed flipping out.

"Good. Maybe that will get you to TALK to him" she said shaking her head at me. She is despicable.

"Can we go outside now? We finished all your packing" I asked as we were finishing up Kenzie's packing. I have been stuck inside all day and I just wanted to go outside.

"I guess." We went outside our house to go for a walk. We didn't go very far. "You are going to talk to Riley" Kenzie said.

"You can't make me" I countered.

"Yes I can."

"How?"

"I don't know yet."

"Haha." On our walk back to our house we ran into the boys. I looked at the ground.

"Hey girls" Braxton said.

"Hey Braxton. Hey Riley" exclaimed Kenzie.

"Hey Haley, Kenzie" Riley mumbled.

"Hey" I said nervously.

"Where are you two going?" Braxton asked.

"To pack her stuff for D.C." Kenzie said pointing to me. I blushed furiously.

"Both of you are going to D.C.?"Riley asked and we both nodded.

"Can I talk to you for a second, Kenzie?" Braxton asked.

"Sure." They went over like 10 feet away so Riley and I wouldn't hear.

"You excited to go to D.C.?" Riley asked me, some what nervously it sounded like.

"Yeah" I said smiling at the ground, "You?"

"Yeah" he said doing the same thing as me. Just then Kenzie and Braxton decide to come back.

"You ready to go pack?" Kenzie asked me. I nodded. Kenzie and I moved here together in 3rd grade because we couldn't live without each other if I moved to the US from Ireland without her. We have lived right in between Riley and Braxton since my family, and Kenzie, moved here from Ireland.

"Hey guys" my oldest brother, Bradly, said as we walked through the door not taking his eyes off the whatever video game he was playing. I have 4 brothers, I was the youngest of the 5. My oldest brother is well Bradly, 22, then it is Jake and Austin, twins, 20, after them is Ashton, 17, and finally me, 16.
