Cherish

Decisions

I woke up the next morning in my bed next to Leah and Kaylee. I don't know how we all managed to fit in my bed, but we did. I lightly tapped them on the shoulders and told them to wake up. They woke up and walked to get their bags. They had to go to cheerleading practice pretty early in the morning. I didn't sign up for cheer because I wouldn't have time with Team 10 and all.

I said goodbye to them and gave them hugs before they left. After they were gone I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. When I was done I straightened my dirty blond hair that fell a little past my shoulders. Then I did my makeup routine using my new lipstick that Mackenzie had gotten me. When I was done I changed into a pretty white floral crop top that Erika had given me and some shorts. I slipped on my converse and ran downstairs. I saw Luke and Blake playing with Cameron (Lydia and Anthony's daughter). I love living with Lydia and Anthony. Anthony is so funny and he and my dad are best friends. Lydia is always there for me when I need her. I know this may sound bad but I go to her for most of my advice instead of my mom. She helps me see my problems from other people's point of views and my mom just tells me I'm better than all that and that doesn't really fix anything.

Luke, Blake, and Cameron were all on the couch playing heads up. Sophia was sitting next to Cameron playing with her doll. I walked over to Sophia and placed a kiss on her head. She giggled and continued to play with her doll. "Mom I'm going next door I think they wanted to film a video and Mackenzie is taking me to the grove today" I said. She nodded and Sophia ran and gave me a hug before our doorbell went off. I opened the door to see Mackenzie waiting for me. "What are you doing here? I thought we were going out later" I asked her giving her a hug.

"Well, Jake and Chance got called into their acting jobs and Tessa had a last minute photo shoot. So, I figured I'd pick you up now and we can go shopping and you guys can film later" she said. I nodded with a smile. My mom ran up to me and gave me some money for shopping. I thanked her and walked to Mackenzie's car. "So, any new boys in your life" she said with excitement as we began to drive away. She looked at me and wiggled her eyebrows. I couldn't help but laugh laughed at how excited she was before responding.

"Well there is this one guy" I said smiling.

"Go on" she said still excited. I couldn't help but laugh at her again.

"Well he is funny, cute, and kind" suddenly I felt really sad. Mackenzie asked me what was wrong. "Well we were really good friends in school and we have been talking a lot this summer but, I forgot that I have decided to take online school this year" I said sadly.

"Does anyone else know that you've decided?" She asked me. I told her that only Leah and Kaylee knew. I was really surprised because when I told them they were so happy for me. They said that they'd just have to come over more and I agreed with them. "Well, if he is a true friend like Leah and Kaylee then he will understand. And I'm sure if you ask your parents they would let him come over some times. So don't worry my little Hope" she said making me to smile.

We pulled into the grove and began to walk around. I ended up getting a few new outfits and some new sunglasses. As we were leaving I turned around to a bunch of screaming girls asking for my autograph. I haven't even been in Team 10 for a full day yet and they all want my signature? I gladly signed them and Mackenzie also signed some then we left and drove back to the Team 10 house.

When we walked inside I saw Tristan, Chad, Kade, and Erika. "Hey Hope, come here!" Tristan whisper shouted. I nodded and walked over to them. "I was in charge of making today's video for the Team 10 channel and we are going to pull a prank. You in?" Tristan asked me. I nodded my head and asked what prank. "Well later tonight you and I will dress up as clowns and Chad, Erika, and Kade will get everyone outside so we can scare them" I agreed and we started to plot our prank.

Later that night

Tristan and I had snuck out of the house and behind the pool. It was pretty dark now so it would be easier to scare everyone. "Let's get to pranking" Tristan said with an evil laugh. I laughed at him and we began to get ready.
