FBLA Part Two

Friday, March 16
Nicole's POV
"Nicole. For the hundredth time, please wake up!" Renée says, obviously done with me wanting to sleep in any longer. "Okay. Fine. I'm up." I say. "Good. We have to be at your school in an hour so you guys can go to Albany, and Emmy asked if I could pick up Alexandrea, so we have to go do that." Mom says. "Okay." I say and she leaves. I curl my hair and change into a Schuyler Sisters tee and Jeans for the trip to Albany. I eat some breakfast and finish getting ready. I roll my suitcase out to the living room. "You ready to go Nicole?" Alexis asks. "Yes Dad." I say. "Benjamin, Brielle, come say goodbye to your sister!" He then yells. They come and say goodbye and dad takes them to school while mom and I go to pick up Alexandrea.
We get to Alexandrea's house and mom and I go up and ring the doorbell. A few seconds later Emmy comes out with Alexandrea. "Thank you so much for doing this Renée." She says. "Of course." Mom says. Alexandrea says goodbye to Emmy and Daveed and comes with us. "You girls excited?" Mom asks once we are on our way to the school. "Yes." We say. She smiles. "I hope you girls have fun." Mom says. We get to our school and we bring our things to the Bus. We say goodbye to mom and join the rest of our chapter on the Bus. Alexandrea and I sit in the very back. The Bus has wifi and outlets so we charge our phones listen to music and watch YouTube videos the whole way there. Before we get to the competition, we pass the Schuyler Mansion where we are going tomorrow after our individual tests. I look over at Alexandrea who's half asleep and smile. We were about to embark on a weekend of our lives
5 hours later
Alexandrea's POV
After five hours of waiting, we finally got a room. Once we got to the conference, we had to wait five hours to get a room in the hotel but In the mean time we watched Moana and had sooubway. Then we got our room and went up and had Pizza. Then we got changed into our dresses for the opening ceremony tonight. Now, we have a few of the eight graders in Nicole, Taylor, and my room and are listening to Panic and Hamilton while having a party. A few minutes later we all go downstairs to the opening ceremonies. Then we have time to spare before curfew at 12. So, Nicole and I go up to the room and Emmy & Daveed FaceTime us as soon as we get up there.
Daveed: "Hi guys."
Me: "Dad!"
Nicole: "Hi."
Emmy: "Hey."
Me: "How are you two?"
Emmy: "Good. How are you Alexandrea?"
Me: "Good."
Daveed: "Nicole, how are you? Renée just texted me to see how you were doing."
Nicole: "I'm good."
Emmy: "Good. So what have you guys been doing?"
Me: "Well we have had to wait five hours to get our room. Then we had a party and went to opening ceremonies."
Daveed: "What are you guys going to do tomorrow?"
Nicole: "We have to take our tests and then we are going to the Schuyler Mansion."
Emmy: "Ooh. You guys need to send us pictures."
Me: "We Will Mom."
We say goodbye and turn on the TV. The episode of Daveed and Oak on Law & Order comes on. "The irony of that." Nicole says laughing. Taylor comes in and Nicole makes us Camomile tea  and we watch the show till we go to sleep.
