"Mom ? Do we really have to go to the Parker's?" My twin sister asks with a sad face.

This summer, like all the other summer holidays me and my sister are going to stay at my aunt’s house.

"Yeah , you will see that you will love it , do you remember your cousin Kelsey?" My mom asks with a smile on her perfectly powder and painted face.

"Of course mom , it's only been a year ago that we saw her and…" Lotte replies and my mother interrupted her.

"You two get along very well.” She says while she puts our big and heavy bags in the trunk.

"Yeah , that's true."

"Lauren, please call your father and say that we need to go." My mom says turning her face to me.

"Dad , we need to go!" I yell.

"Young lady , don't be so rude and go get your father, now!" She screams at me like I did something extremely wrong and points with her red painted finger to the door. I just roll my eyes and go inside. I go upstairs to the office of my father , well it's not good an office it's the place where he works when he is home and we call it his and my mother’s office. The door is slightly open and I knock on the wooden door.

"Come in." My father says politely.

"Dad , mom said that we need to go." I say and turn around.

"Yes I'm coming , I'm just finishing some stupid emails." My dad says irritated. He and my mother works so hard and they need to keep working in the summer holidays and because of that we need to go to my freaky aunt and cousin. When I was little I liked Kelsey but never too much. Now we are both seventeen and we grew up and now we are so different. When I'm back to the car I see that Lotte and my mom are already sitting in the black car. I open the door and sit next to me sister , she gives me a smile. Sometimes we can laugh until we have cramp in our stomachs but there are also times when we fight and don't talk to each other for a week. She is very different than me. I see my father coming our direction.

"We can go" My father says when he starts the car.

"Here we go!" My mom says happily, how can she be so happy?

I look out of the window and think of how boring and how stupid this summer is going to be. Last year we did some things but not many , we went to the beach and it was okay , shopping and golfing. This year I need to explore the city and do things alone not with Kelsey and my aunt. I look to my sister and see that she is reading “Thirteen reasons why” from Jay Asher the book is really good but sad at the same time it’s about Clay Jensen , who returns home from school and find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside the box he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On the tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them., it’s such a good book. Then I look back to my sisters face she is almost crying , she really likes reading and that is one of the only things that me and my sister have in common... Well and our faces , she is much prettier than me , she is like the popular one.

"Girls , we need to say something." My mother says turning her head to us. Oh my god what is coming now , are we going to live at my aunt’s house?

"Me and your dad..."

"Don't say me that you're pregnant." I interrupt her. She gives me a glare and my dad laugh.

"No , we are getting a week off and we are going a week to Italy..." She smiles and wants to continue but Lotte interrupts her.

"So we are going on holidays?" She says happy and claps her hands. Finally we are going to do something in the holidays , finally we are going on vacations.
