May 3rd

'It's so fucking early, kill me.' 'You'll be happy when we are dancing around la sagrada familia.' Kat and I glare at Isa. 'Seriously? Okay, Imma gonna get us coffee. If she gonna keep talking in Ed Sheeran, I might not even gonna get on that flight.' I hear Katarina giggle as I walk away from them. I haven't had sex in over a month and I am going absolutely crazy. I hope they let me enjoy myself in Barcelona. Richard and Kat are super proud of me and even Isa has said it a few times in the last couple of weeks. And of course I am proud of myself. Because now I get to go to Barcelona for free. Not that I can't afford it or anything. I have no idea what I am blabbering on about, I just need sleep. When I hand the girls their cups of coffee, they look like kids with cotton candy. After thirty minutes of waiting, we finally get to board the plane. As soon as my butt touches the seat, I fall asleep.

'WAKE UP YOU PLATE OF PAELLA. WE'RE HERE.' 'Isa, calm down. Let her wake up, you know how she reacts when...' 'I'm up.' I get up and I feel happy. 'I am excited, I want to go. Let's go go go.' When we step out of the plane, a nice warm breeze greets my skin and I can't help but smile. 'Oh fuck this feels good.' I sigh. It doesn't take us long to get through security and our suitcases are already on the baggage carousel. 'Want to grab something to eat before we get on the bus?' Kat nods and Isa is looking at her belly in a sad way. 'Are you okay Isa?' I ask a bit worried. 'I am so hungry, you saying the word "eat" upset my stomach a little bit.' Food it is then.

'This hotel is amazing, I wasn't expecting this at all. I know you girls are proud of me, but this is a bit much.' Uncomfortable, that's how I feel. This must've cost them a fortune. 'Oh come on, just enjoy yourself.' 'OH MY GOD!' Isa screams from the bathroom. Kat and I hurry towards the bathroom and see Isa standing in the middle of it, shocked and with tears in her eyes. 'THERE'S A BUBBLEBATH!' 'Are you kidding me? I thought you found a dead person in the bathtub, you lunatic.' Isa stares into Kat's eyes and grabs her by the shoulders. 'A. Fucking. Bubblebath. This might be the best day of my life.' 'I'm gonna tell Christopher that you just said that.' I say before leaving the bathroom. 'Can we go sightseeing now?' We all put on our comfy shoes and make sure that we have enough bottles of water on us, so we won't dehydrate. 'I want to go to Las Ramblas. Or the beach.' Kat shakes her head. 'Nope, we're going to La Sagrada Familia first.' 'I don't have a say in this?' Apparently not, Isa and Kat are already standing at the door, ready to leave. Isa keeps repeating that one line from that Ed Sheeran song and when we're standing in the metro, Kat and I are singing along. We are dancing and people are staring and laughing, but I don't care at all. 'SO LET'S PRETEND WE'RE DANCING IN THE STREEEEEETS OF BARCELONA!' I dance around a pole and some people we don't know start singing along. We bow when we exit the metro and we start laughing uncontrollably. 'You look so happy, it looks good on you.' Isa says while patting me on the back. And then I realise, I haven't been this carefree for years. It feels scary, but good.

'No listen up, Katarina. You just have to record it like a snapchat video.' Isa wants a boomerang of her dancing in front of La Sagrada Familia, but Kat doesn't really get how it works. 'Here, let me do it.' I take the phone from Kat and make a boomerang. 'Cool, now it's your turn!' Isa puts me in place and Kat keeps being strange and she keeps turning me around. 'For the love of god, just let me stand here.' Kat mumbles something about me not being artistic when it comes to taking touristic photos. 'Well I am very sorry, Katarina. I just think this is a bit much. As long as I don't have three chins on the picture and you can see where I am, I don't care how the picture looks.' Finally, Kat takes a picture and I sigh when I walk towards her and Isa. 'You wanna see it?' 'Yeah sure.' She shows me the photo. 'Oh fuck me sideways...'
