I was currently standing in Nolan's kitchen, making him a ham and cheese sandwich. He said it's one of his favorites so since we aren't doing anything I went to the store, got the ingredients, and am now making them.

"Nol, foods ready!" I shouted, seeing him quickly burst into the kitchen with a smile on his face.

He pulled out his phone and took a video of me putting the plate down in front of him. I rolled my eyes playfully and turned around.

"So, I have an idea," He began.

"What's that?" I questioned, taking a bite of my grilled cheese.

"You can say no, because of classes, but I don't have practice until Sunday, giving us five days..."

I couldn't tell what he was leading onto. I had an idea but didn't want to make any assumptions and get my hopes up.

"Yes..."

"Wanna go to Cancun with TK and Izzy?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

My jaw dropped and widened my eyes. I was thinking we might go skiing in the Poconos or just a little vacation to NYC, not Mexico.

"I mean of course I do, but how would this work?"

"He texted me a few minutes ago. We were gonna leave tomorrow morning and come back Saturday night."

I considered how many classes I would miss. I don't have any this Wednesday because my professor cancelled it, Ashley is in both of my Tuesday and Thursday classes so I could copy her notes, and missing my classes on Friday wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm sure theres some guy I could sweet talk into giving me notes.

"Let's do it," I smiled, "Do you want me to book the flights?"

"Trav asked me to tell you to. He knew I would mess it up," He blushed.

I gave him a kiss before going to grab my laptop from my backpack. I looked up flights, finding one for tomorrow morning at 9am. I pulled my card out of my wallet before it was quickly snapped out of my hand.

"Woah, woah, woah. You don't really think I'm going to let you pay, right?" Nolan asked with a smirk.

"You bought me a four-hundred dollar pair of ice skates. I'm not going to let you pay for this," I argued, with a little bit of sass.

"Yeah, and now I'm buying you a plane ticket. Nice try, though," He said, sliding his debit card onto the keyboard of my laptop.

I rolled my eyes in defeat and began to put in the information. Once I was done, Nolan and I went next door to talk with Izzy and Travis.

"We're going to fuckin' Cancun, bitches!" I shouted, barging into the apartment.

Travis and Izzy were sitting on the couch. Izzy jumped up to give me a hug.

We all talked for about an hour before I realized that we leave in less than 24 hours and I have done no packing.

"Shit! I don't have any bathing suits at my dorm room!" I realized while Nolan was driving me home.
