I sit in my bed room, looking at the cold waves of California.
at least when I leave, the waves will be warm.
I got a letter last month. it was a letter to a school for arts. it's shark academy. it's a school for talented kids. like the dancers, singers, actors, gymnastics, modeling, even sports like basketball, soccer, hockey, surfing, football, swimming, and volleyball.
I'm being asked to attend because they found a video of me singing in the shower and me dancing in my room. my little brother wants to be a spy, so my grandma got him a spy kit. that includes night vision goggles, spy cameras, spy microphones, etc. he loved it. he put them everywhere. he also got a hold of my song book. he found the arts school online and sent them the book and a letter. he is twelve and managed to keep this from me. he told them I was also a surfer and one of the head people came and watched my competition. she loved it but I never met her. this is what the letter said.

I just need proper clothes and shoes for what is required. so I have three pairs of dance shoes, nine bikinis, workout clothes, so I pretty much have my wardrobe in my suitcases.
"Skyler? are you ready for your flight?" my mom called from down stairs.
"yes mom! I'm coming!" I grabbed two bags. "JAXON!" I yelled down the hall.
he ran up the stairs. he is thirteen.
"can you grab the other two bags please?" I asked. he nodded. I dragged my suitcases down the stairs and put them in the car. I looked at the time. 9:00? Oh no! I only have an hour until my flight!
"hurry up guys!" my mom and dad rushed out with Jaxon running behind them. dad got in the driver's seat while mom got in passenger. me and Jaxon got in the back.
(skip car ride)
I hugged my family goodbye and walked to my gate. I sat down and played on my phone. I'm so glad that I got flappy bird on my iPhone 5s before they stopped selling it on the app store. I felt a presence next to me. I looked up and saw four girls. they smiled at me. I smiled back. they must be going to the same school. this flight is only for Sharks Academy.
