Once in a Million Years

movie marathon

Monday. 

"Kaylie!" I hear Mom's voice from downstairs, awakening me from my deep sleep. 

"I'm up!" I shout back and open the door, staring at myself in the mirror. Bed head.

I see Max, our family's pet yorkie, and Coco, our pet baby golden retriever, asleep in their little dog beds as I get downstairs and I see my mom cooking breakfast. 

"Good morning!" she chirps and puts a plate of pancakes and bacon on my plate in front of me.

"Thank you, where's dad?"

"He went out early today. Do you mind getting Kyle for me?" she says, mentioning my twin brother. Kyle and I have this bond that no other sibling have and we love it. We have this connection and we get along perfectly.

"Sure. What's on your schedule today?"

"I have to check in at the shooting place at 10, then go to lunch with a producer at 12 and go back to shooting, and then at 8 I have to go for a late photo shoot. I'll be booked for the entire day hun. I'll leave money on the counter before I leave. I'll be home around 10, okay?" 

My mom is an actress, model, and she has a fashion brand that she runs. She is super famous in the celebrity world and Dad is an athlete, model, and he also runs a business. Our family likes to be modest, so we have a three story home, suitable for about six people, but our cars and possessions are a different story.

"Kaylie?" Mom asks, snapping me back to reality. 

"Yeah? Oh– it's fine. Kyle and I are planning to have a movie marathon anyway," I say smiling at my concerned mom, "thanks for breakfast. I'll go get Kyle. Have fun today!"

I walk upstairs into Kyle's room.

"KYLE FLEMING! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!" I scream into his ear, trying to pull a prank on him.

"Aaaaaah! Where? Help!" he screams and I throw myself on his bed as I laugh.

"Kyle!" I choke out and he glares at me, "I should've caught that on camera."

"No, you shouldn't have."

"Yes, I should have. And Mom wants you downstairs."

"Okay, thanks Kay." he kisses my cheek and walks downstairs and I get out of his room to my room. 

I walk into my room, sitting in front of my vanity. I put some light make up on my face and move to the closet to see what I should wear. I decide that since it's spring, I could go for a pair of shorts. I walk to my closet and grab a white halter top from Aritzia, ripped jean shorts from American Eagle, and my old skool Vans.

"Kaylie!" Kyle shouts from downstairs. 

"Ready to go?"

"Yep! Get in the car! I'll be waiting."

I get out of my room, grabbing my pink Herschel backpack with my space grey 13-inch MacBook Pro, my binders, my pencil case, my iPhone X in a checkerboard phone case, and my black Nike wallet. 

I walk out the door to Kyle's black Ferrari and slip in the door. 

"Ready?"

"Let's go."

And he speeds down the lanes getting to our school, Blaire Rose High School. He parks at his usual parking spot and gets out of the car.

"Kyle!" Matthew, his best friend, shouts to him.

"Hey Matt," he replies and I get out of the car slowly trying not to ruin my shoes.

"Hey Kaylie," Matthew says, and he turns his attention towards me.

"Hi Matthew," I respond before noticing Rose O'Connor, one of my best friends.

"Kaylie, meet me back at the car at 3:15," Kyle says before turning his attention to some girl that was talking to him. That's right. Kyle was another girl magnet.

"Kay!" Rose shouts and starts walking over to me. 

"Hi Rose! How was your weekend?"

"Amazing! I finally got to see Brian again over the weekend and he took me out to the restaurant I've been dying to go to. And Brian said he was coming over much more regularly to my house! Then my mom surprised us with a concert ticket to go see Niall Horan, so Brian and I are going to go! Which reminds me, do you want to come with us?" Rose asks. 

Brian Virende is her boyfriend. They've been dating for a year and a half and they've been going strong as metal. He keeps travelling with his family, so when he gets to stay in LA for a while, Rose is his top priority. 

"Niall Horan? I'm good. You guys have fun."

"Kaylie! Rose!" Natalie shouts as she gets off of her mom's Nissan Pathfinder. 

"Hey Nat!" Rose greets and she tells the exact same story that she told me. 

"Oh! Hi Cali!" I say to Calina and she sits down on the bench we were all sitting at. 

Natalie and I met in kindergarten in elementary school and since then we've been best friends. During sixth grade, Rose moved here from San Fran and she had no friends, so Kenzie and some other friends went to go be friends with her. And Cali, we met during our first month of high school and we just hit it off.

"Kaylie!" Natalie shouts and I look over to her.

"What?"

"Jacob Coleman is back."
