Recap
Everything seems right for Kirstin and Mitch. They have both been coincidentally chosen by Ms Marsden and Mr Osbourne to attend Juilliard for a day on their NYC trip. Today they are finally going on the trip.

Kirstin's POV
Beep beep beep.
I groan as I smack my alarm.
"Shut up!" I screamed as it doesn't stop when I hit it. I look at the clock, 4:30am, great. I sigh and rub my eyes, the days events still not kicking in. 3, 2, 1.

"Oh. My. God," I say slowly as a large smile reaches my face. I then quickly get up and flick on my light switch. I go to my desk, pick up my clothes, and run to the bathroom. As soon as I close the door I begin to get changed. Aaaaaah this day has finally arrived! I couldn't hold my hands excitement as I stomp down the stairs.

"Keep it down!" My dad flinches as I reach the last stomp. I smile sweetly to him.

"Sorry dad," I say with an awkward smile on my face. I take a seat on a bar stool and watch as my dad prepares scrambled eggs for me. I sigh and fidget in my chair anxiously waiting for my eggs to be ready so I can eat them quickly. The quicker I eat, the faster I'll be at the airport.

"I still can't believe you'll be spending a day at Juilliard. You're growing up so quickly," my dad says as he hands me my breakfast. I nod my head as I take a bite.

"It's super nerve racking but I know I'm going to have a lot of fun," I say with a huge smile. My dad smiles back and grabs the pan off the stove.

"Just make sure you're careful out there. Don't put your money or phone out in the open, I've witnessed people get mugged before," I nod my head.

"Yes dad I'm aware of that as you've told me this a million times now. He puts his hands up in surrender.

"Just making sure you're safe," I smile and put my plate in the dishwasher.

"Don't worry I'll be fine. Mitch will protect me," my dad over-exaggeratedly sighs.
"Okay... well I'm going to get ready, I want you to be fully ready and have everything packed by the time I'm done okay?" I nod my head with a light smile. My dad smiles back before he goes upstairs. I take my phone off of it's charger and open my text messages.

Kweenkirst12: see you at the airport soon!

MXGrassi: I need coffee still... but yeah! See you soon!

Kweenkirst12: aw you poor baby

MXGrassi: now I feel mocked.

Kweenkirst12: love you too

I chuckle at Mitch's tiredness before I put my phone and headphones into the front pocket of my carry-on bag. Soon I hear my dad's footsteps coming down the steps and I quickly zip up all of my luggage.

"You ready to go?" He asks. I smile and nod my head. He picks up my suitcase and I put on my carry-on bag, and then we're out of my house. See you in two weeks LA.

Mitch's POV
"Come on mom! Let's go let's go!" I say rather childishly as I watch my mom slowly put on her coat.

"No more coffee for you," she mutters as she grabs her keys, ignoring my chuckles. What? I only had four cups of coffee. That is only half of my average cup count per day.... teehee. We both get into the car, and I plug my phone into the aux cord.

"What do you want me to play?" I ask as I scroll through my playlists.

"I'm not sure," I sigh. Choose one for once woman!

"Fine I'm going with Tears by Clean Bandit" I say as I press on the song. I then put it on medium volume and sing the riffs along with the singer. My mom smiles lightly.

"Are you excited to spend a day at Juilliard with what's her face?" I glare at her.

"Yeah I'm super excited to spend the day with my girlfriend Kirstin," my mom sighs.

"Mitch you know I have a bad memory," I roll my eyes.

"No, you're just never home," I mumble under my breathe.

At the airport
When we arrive at the airport, I practically jump out of the car, pop the trunk and grab my suitcase.

"Woah slow down speed racer we'll be there soon," I see a few of my classmates inside and ignore my mom's previous sentence. I run into the airport towards the group.

"Hey Mitch!" Chanel says cheerfully. I look to her right and see a very tired Avi. "RIP Avi am I right?" She smirks and hits Avi in the arm causing him to jolt awake.

"Wake up sleeping beauty!" I say with a chuckle. Avi rolls his eyes.

"I'm sorry if not all of us live off of coffee 24/7," he sighs and closes his eyes again.

"Hey! I can't help it if I need a little energy all the time," Chanel states. We both laugh and I take out my phone. I open up my texts.

MXGrassi: where r u?

KweenKirst12: dad is driving so slow I might just kick him out of the car and speed to the airport.

MXGrassi: see you soon... and at your dad's funeral.

KweenKirst12: lol cya

I chuckle and close my phone. Ten minutes later, a very annoyed looking Kirstin walks in with her dad trailing behind her. She walks up to me and gives me a peck on my lips before setting her stuff down next to mine. I could practically feel her dad's eyes burning into me.

"Good to see you sir," I reach my hand out for a handshake and her dad hesitantly shakes it. Kirstin looks between us uncomfortably.

"Dad you better get going," she says with a sigh as she gets up, "I'll call you after we're through security," he nods still pointing daggers my way.

"Okay have fun sweetie, I love you," he says giving her a hug, "you take care Mitch," he then walks off. Kirstin rolls her eyes.

"I'm sorry about him. He's just very overprotective," I smile.

"It's okay, at least I now know to never break your heart," she blushes and intertwined our fingers. New York City here we come!
