"Mr Summerall."

A N N I E ' S P O V

I wake up to the sound of mommy vlogging, like usual. I toss, turn and moan trying to indicate to her to stop talking so loud but I guess she REALLY wants me awake this morning, I wonder why...

"aaaaand this is what you call a luxurious breakfast in bed" mommy practically yells, awakening Paige and Hayley also. She brings over Frosted flakes and a banana to me, a muffin and an apple to Paige and mini pancakes with maple syrup to Hayley. We all thank her while rubbing our tired eyes. We haven't been having the best night sleeps ever since we arrived in LA because of the time differences between Maryland and Los Angles. It may only be 3 hours but hey, give me a break. When we left Maryland for this trip, I was only JUST getting myself back into my 'at-home time routine.'

"Mommy" says Hayley, "what are we doing today?" "Not too much Hay" says mom, still vlogging, "not too much at all." She says, giving me a smirk and usually, that means she's up to something. "Katie, can I talk to you in the bathroom for a sec" Paige winks at mom. "Sure" she winks back.

I don't know what exactly is going on but all I can hear is mommy and Paige whispering to the camera in the bathroom.

I'm not really bothered by it at all so I play on my phone a little. I take a photo of Hayley and I caption it "Morning Streaks xo," I send that to all of my streaks and almost instantly I get a reply from the one person that never fails to put a smile on my face; Hayden. He sends a photo of his face saying "gggooddddmorning aNiKaNs" and I can't help but blush and giggle at my phone screen. "What?" Says Hayley, which makes me jump and drop my phone on my face. "Ouch!" I rub my nose. Great, knowing my luck, that's probably gonna bruise! "Who ya textin'" she asks. "No one important..." I lied straight to her face. Hayden's one of the most important people in my life. He's my bestest friend in the whole entire world, and maybe, I think of him as more than that... not the point. I can feel my face burning red. "kayyyy" she says, eating away at her breakfast, completely oblivious to the situation. I go back on my phone and Snapchat him back.

Finally, mommy and Paige come out of the bathroom, they aren't filming anymore. "Get ready girls, we're going to surprise Hayden, Mr Jimmy and Jimmy" shrieks Paige. I immediately jump out of bed and squeal. Hayden thinks that we aren't going to see each other in another whole month! "Gee... someone's a bit over excited" says Hayley, empathising the 'over.' "Shut it Hay" I snap. I get the clothes I'm going to wear today out of my suitcase and run into the bathroom. I can feel everyone's eyes watching me, suspiciously.

When I get into the bathroom, I Slam the door shut, lock it and sit in front of it on the floor. I let out a huge sigh. No one knows how I feel about Hayden yet, and no one is going to know, not until I'm ready.

I continue on getting ready; I shower, do my hair and then my favourite part, makeup. Hayden once told me that I am naturally pretty and I don't need make up, but it's something I love doing so I decide on a neutral look to make him happy.

TWO HOURS LATER

Everyone is finally ready, but before we leave I take a selfie to put on my Snapchat story. "Exciting things happening today!" I put as the caption. I add it to my story, grab my Louis Vuitton backpack and head out the door.

As I'm walking out the door, mommy's explaining to the vlog camera what we're doing. I'm just minding my own business, running my fingers lightly against the hotel walls as Paige pulls my arm back. I lose control of my body and I stumble back onto Paige, somehow managing to not fall over and make a complete fool out of myself. I hope the camera didn't pick up on that.

"What was that for?" I squeak. "I should be asking you the same thing" she whispers. "What do you mean?" "I mean, your reaction this morning...when mom told you we were going to see Hayden. I'm suspicious." Shoot!! What do I do, what do I say?!?!? "so....?" Paige breaks the silence. "so what?" "Do you maybe have, I don't know, feelings for Hayden?" "no no!!" I manage to say. Paige gives me a look. "No okay. Look he's like my brother....and plus, do you really think daddy would let us be a 'thing'?" Paige is still looking at me weirdly. She can defiantly tell I'm lying but she just leaves it.

My phone vibrates in my back pocket. It's a text from Hayden, I smile like an idiot at my phone, not noticing Paige and Hayley looking over my shoulder at my phone and mommy filming. "ooo" Hayley says but then Paige stops her from reviling anything on camera. I look up and stop walking. I roll my eyes and walk in front of everyone.

Hayden's text reads: "Hey LeBlanc, what're you gettin' up to today?'

I reply back with: "Hey mr Summerall, probably nothing."

Hayden's reply: "Mr Summerall...I like it 😊"

Mr Summerall....I like him...
