Juliana

30. Dora the explorer

*1 week later*

"Danny! For the last time, bring me your suitcase, so I can put your clothes in it!" I heard Mom kinda yell from down the hall. She was definitely stressed, and Danny wasn't doing anything to help. He was bugging the crap out of everyone.

I was in the middle of packing my own suitcase when he barged into my room.

"Robbie... guess what?"

"What now, Danny?" I grumbled. "I'm trying to pack before Jules gets here."

"I stole your phone earlier and called Juliana and told her not to come. I told her that we cancelled the trip."

My eyes widened, and I took a deep breath, counting to ten. "Daniel." I took another deep breath. "Why the hell would you do that? Give me my phone!"

"Because this is a family trip, and she isn't family. Duh." He rocked back and forth on his heels.

"I thought you liked Juliana though?"

"I do! She's cool."

"Then why wouldn't you want her to go with us?"

"It's family time. Juliana's always around nowwww." He whined. "Now she has to come on vacation too?"

"Yes."

"I don't want her to come."

"I don't care. She's coming" I zipped my suitcase. "Give me my phone, Daniel."

"It's in the front yard!" He said quickly before scampering off.

I yelled after him. "What do you mean front yard?"

"I threw it out the window." He poked his head back in my doorway and giggled before running off again.

"What!" I lunged after him. I wanted to kill him. I hated him. He was the worst. Sam and Tyla bugged me, but they would have neverthrown my phone out the window. Yet, Danny had somehow managed to screwup my life again.

Now, I somehow had to get ahold of Jules because she would have believed what Danny told her about the trip being cancelled. She had always been a little gullible with stuff like that, well, more like naïve and innocent.

"Tyla..." I barged into her room, not even bothering to knock. "Let me borrow your phone."

"It's on my dresser. Why do you need it?" She folded up some jeans and put them in her suitcase.

"I gotta call Jules."

"What happened to yours? I mean, you can use mine to call her and everything. I just wanna know what happened to yours."

"Danny threw mine out the window." I rolled my eyes.

"What! Does Mom know?"

"Nah. Haven't told her yet." I grabbed her phone off her dresser. On the screen, it showed that she had a text message from Zach. "Um. Who's Zach?"

"A guy I'm talking with..." I hated when people used that 'talking' term. It was so stupid.

"Why?"

"Because we're kinda interested in each other..."

"You're in what though... sixth grade?"
