(Ember’s POV)

“Maya, where is your fucking hair curler?”

“In the draw. Open your eyes idiot.” She says to me as she pulls out the curler and chucks it rather aggressively into the suitcase. 

“Sorry” I reply sarcastically. “I’m so annoyed lately, I totally fucked up that science exam”

“Yes, as did I. But stressing about it isn't going to change anything, what's done is done, so let’s just ignore that for now and enjoy this week. We are going to Lorne for crying out loud!” We were hastily getting ready in Maya’s bathroom when her little brother Zac walked in.

“Ew, it’s Ember, please tell me you’re leaving soon.” 

“Don’t worry, Zachary, your sister and I will be gone for a few days.” I reply as I ruffle his hair, because I knew how much he hated it.

“GIRLS, we are leaving now!” Maya’s mum yells down the hallway.

“Coming!” We yell in sync as we raced to the car, with our 2 extra large suitcases that just fit side by side in the boot.

"Girls did you really need to bring all those clothes?" Maya's mum asked. Maya looked at me and rolled her eyes. I let a small giggle slip out. Before I knew it the car was started and we were on our way. This was our first music festival and we were lucky to be going because our mums required a lot of persuading.

“Is it okay if you drop us off at the servo?” Maya asked her mum as we drove into Lorne. “We need to pick up some ice tea before we head down to the beach.” We pulled into the servo and purchased our ice tea from a rather attractive clerk.

“I am not paying $4.20 for an ice tea every day. We should go down to Safeway after and buy in bulk for the fridge at the hotel.”

“Agreed”

We made our way down to the festival with springs in our steps from all the excitement, commenting on what people were doing and wearing as usual. We made it to the main stage as the first band, Mayday Parade started their set.
