A Summer to remember

I’m Megan, i’m totally opposite from normal, and never really seem to fit in as well as everyone else can. I’m a caring person, and would be there for anyone who would ever need me, even though very few people would in return. I have strong feelings, that are also very sensitive. I can get confused easily, but also catch on to things. I’ve been a dancer since I was about three years old, and I love dance, Its all I could ever ask for, its kind of like MY thing. I have a bestfriend, her name is Shelby, we have been bestfriends since we were about three. We never fight, and we always get along.. ALWAYS. Were basically sisters. Our families get along really well too! It’s kind of like we were meant to be friends. Our moms met at a grocery store, and then our older brothers ended up being in the same kindergarden class that same year! It was weird, but were happy that it happened that way. Were really supportive of each other, she goes to all my dance recitals, and I go to all of her volleyball games. Were each others #1 cheerleaders. We both have other friends that we hang out at school with too. Lately, my mom has been acting really weird, its kind of like a mixture of worry and excitement.. I honestly have no idea whats going on.  I’ve tried asking her, and she acts like she doesnt know what im talking about, I know somethings going on, I’m not that clueless. But anyways, We have about a week of school left, and I CANT wait till summer! I’m starting to hate school, and I honestly am starting to not care about my grades at all what so ever. I’m just looking forward to summer! My family has so much planned, its finally the first summer where were actually doing something instead of just sitting around like lazy bums with nothing else better to do. My mom said were going on vacation, but she hasn’t told me where yet, “it’s a suprise.” I don’t like not knowing whats going on, so this should be tons of fun. -____-. I always know everything, and am normally making sure everything works out, I’m just that type of person. This time around, I dont even know whats going on, where were going, who were gonna stay with, what kind of food is there, what language am i gonna have to get a hand book for, THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME. But I guess all I  can do is just sit around and wait until the day we get to the airport, but what ever. Its the last monday of school, and I’m video chatting Shelby about what to wear ( We have done this every day all year, its kind of like a tradition.) On the last week of school, i feel like I need to look perfect and do everything perfectly. It’s kind of like the last impression on yourself before you start off fresh for the new school year, or for the summer, so you need to look good. After about 20 minutes of picking out an outfit, I go to do my hair and makeup. I don’t wear much at all, because I’d rather not look like a raccoon, also I’m thankful enough to have clear skin, so i don’t need much to cover up anything. I run downstairs and get my shoes on, and before I know it, I’m in the car talking to my mom on the way to my last monday of school. Of course my mom was still acting a bit off, but I just decided not to worry/ talk about it, there must be a reason why shes not telling me whats going on. When I get to school, I kind of have a rush of excitement. I don’t even know why, I guess i’m just anxious for school to end.. I go through all my classes, and then sit with the normal group of friends at lunch, then finish the day. Typical day, nothing special what so ever. Tuesdays basically the same thing, then wednesday, and thursday. Friday. It’s the last day, and as I walk down the hallway, people are signing each others year books, and taking pictures together. Todays the type of day when even complete enemies are taking pictures together, just for memories of the school year. I’m focusing on the year book pictures when a group of girls ask to take a picture, and of course I do. Then, one of the jocks, Jake asks to take a picture, I don’t think much of it and then gladly take the picture... Jake then hugs me and tells me he’s gonna miss me, we have been going to school together since we were eight, and we were friends, but never really that close.Everyone knew I wasn’t coming back to the same school next year, but I didn’t even know what school I was going to. The rest of the day went by so fast, it just felt like a blur. The last day is always the best, but this year it just didn’t feel like the last day of school, we just all kind of said bye and left. Shelby came home with me that day, as she normally does, and she was helping me pack for the trip. Shes always the one to help me make choices about everything, and its always great having a second opinion. Shelby seems to know what shes doing, so i’m starting to think my mom told her where we were going, because when I tired to pack, I was completley clueless on what to bring, but she knew exactly what I needed.

“ You know Shelby, this vacations gonna be weird without you.”

“ Oh I know, you’re gonna miss me...”

“ Well duh! Who else is gonna be crazy and bring out my wild side?”

“ I have no idea... crap this is a problem.”

“ Yeah it is!”

“ Well, I guess were gonna have to video chat everyday then.”

“ It’s a deal!”

We finished packing, then turned on the music on my ihome to have a mini dance party, because well.. dance parties are fun! I hit shuffle and then continued to what I was doing.. about 10 minutes later my mom walked in to see if we were actually getting anything done, and she was suprised to see that we were all packed and ready to go! My mom told me she wanted to talk to both of us, so I went and turned the music off.

“ Well I’ve decided I’m gonna tell you where were going, but I already told Shelby so it’s not much of a suprise for her.”

“ I knew it....”

“ How’d you know?!” Shelby said.

“ We’re best friends remember? I can always tell when you’re up to something.”

“ Oh...” Shelby said.

“ Well anyways, We’re going to England to meet some family!”

“ I’m actually gonna see some of my family?”

“ Yes! and theres someone special I really want you to meet.”

“ Who is it?”

“ Its a family member, but that’s all I can tell you.”

“ Does Shelby know this person too?”

“ Nope, that I haven’t told her.”

“ Okay then.”

Shelby went home that night at about 8.. We said our goodbyes and I was a little sad about not being able to see her for about a month. I stayed up most of that night thinking, I couldn’t sleep that much. The next morning we got to the airport, Went through security, and I was then off to England. I put in my headphones and just was thinking. I was really excited to meet some of my family, because I didn’t know much about them, and I honestly barely knew some of them existed. My mom never really talked about her siblings, and my dad didnt either. I don’t even know which side of the family these people I’m gonna meet are on, I’m guessing my moms though. I’m excited, but super nervous. What if they don’t like me? What if I don’t fit in? What if,What if, what if. All I could think. I was excited, but nervous. I Just hope they like me, they’re pretty much the only family I got.
