Ch 2: Governor's Ball Day 1

The next morning, the first thing I did was take a shower and dry my hair. Next, I threw on a pair of light-wash, high waisted shorts and a tucked-in, off-the-shoulder, yellow top that had white flowers all over it. I paired that with a pair of white Converse.

I quickly transferred all the pictures on my phone to the drive in my computer and headed out to the main part of the suite.

I looked up from my phone and saw Luc and Candy in the kitchen making tons of food. I sat on one of the chairs. Georgie was on one of the couches with Rylan and Wilder was on the other couch. I looked to my left and saw Eli in the middle of a call out on the balcony.

Art, your outfit is so cute! Georgie gushed.

Thanks. I said as my phone started to buzz.

I looked at the screen and saw my best friends name flash up on the screen.

One sec. I gotta take this. I smiled.

I stepped over to one of the corners in the room as I said, Hey, Em!

Art! Cam is having a party tonight, are you going?!

My smile fell off my face. Oh my god. Em. I forgot to tell you. I realized.

Forgot to tell me what?

You know that year-long program I signed up to about a year ago?

Yeah. I remember. You wrote and rewrote that song like twenty times until it was perfect. What about- she stopped talking abruptly, Art. Wait a mother fucking second. You didnt!

But I did.

You got in and you forgot to mention that to your best friend!

Im the worst.

Babe, its cool. Whens your closest stop to Chicago.

Were getting the schedules for the year soon. Ill text you as soon as I know.

Then youre not the worst. I love you.

Love you too.

So, where are you now? Whats the current course of action?

You wont believe this but Im the New York City and Im going to the Governors Ball tonight.

No shit?! Damn. I almost bought us tickets to that when they went on sale.

Good thing you didnt.

True. So, Lorde and Logic and Chance the Rapper and Charli XCX this weekend?

Its crazy.

Insane, even.

I heard the door open. I think the founder of the programs here. Ill text you later.

Take tons of pictures.

Will do. Oh, and Em?

Huh?

Dont tell my mom and Mike where I am and stuff, okay?

Why?

Later.

Okay. I wont tell.

Love you.

Same. she said as I hung up.

I walked out into the living area and saw a lady who looked to be in her mid forties standing by the door wearing a maroon pantsuit.

Ah. Heres the last participant. she smiled.
