“Milena!” Isabelle puts her hand on Milena’s shoulder to get her attention. “My mom told me!”
Milena turns around with a smile on her face. “Yeah! I can’t believe my grandma got an award for her book!”
Milena’s grandmother was a famous author. She retired years ago, but kept writing. Now she got an award for her book, Retirement. The End of Your Life, The Start to Your Boredom. It apparently isn’t all about retirement, but all the great things she reflects on from her past. Milena has never read it, (and never plans to anyways.) but she’s really happy for her.
“Oh!” Milena sparks, her eyes shooting awake from the morning tiredness. “I almost forgot! My mom said you and your mom can come stay at my grandma’s place while we go for the month. My mom already talked to yours. She said she can only stay a week, but you can stay as long as you want.”
Isabelle’s eyes opened as well. “Really? Yay!” Her mouth opened to a smile, but as well as being sarcastic. “Party at the retirement homes.” She bounced her shoulders as if to dance.
Milena chuckled a little, “It’s actually not that bad. They have really good ice cream there.”
“I’m sold.” Isabelle replies dead serious. Milena laughs. “Yes!”

“Girls! 30 Minutes!” Mrs. Laera yelled to Milena’s room. Isabelle was sitting in there watching Milena pack her final clothing for the month.
The retirement homes were over by California. And somehow, Milena’s grandma paid to get only the girls their own small home for the month.
Milena packed a couple more bathing suits into her carry on.
The girls jumped down the stairs. Mrs. Samson and Mrs. Laera were waiting for them at the door.
Milena had on white shorts with a baby blue tank top. She had her ombre hair in a cute ponytail with a little mascara on.
Isabelle was wearing a pair of blue shorts she cut from pants and a tank with a flannel covering on top. She had her dark brown hair down and wavy from braids, and only had some eyeliner and mascara on.
Everyone buckled their seatbelts and they drove off to the airport.
They put their luggage on the conveyor belt and walked over to the security line. They had to wait half an hour until they went through the scanners.
A lady came on the intercom. "Ladies and Gentlemen, flight 169 is now boarding."
Isabelle and Milena found their seats on the plane. They buckled their seatbelts, and then they took off.
"California here we come" Isabelle whispered as she looked out the window. The girls threw on their headphones, and began their summer break while flying over the world as if they could touch the clouds near them. They couldn’t wait for the beaches, the parades, and the mini stores they can shop through.
The flight was 4 slow hours. But once they landed, the girls grabbed their carry ons and got off the plane.
As soon as they walked outside they knew they were going to like it here.
