Chapter 2

   "Mom, come  with me to see me off in the morning!" I was leaving to go to Hollywood in themorning bright and early. I knew my mom would give in. It was inevitable.

   "Of course. Why wouldn't I? Plus I'm hoping I can still get you to back out of this," she said. Wewere relaxing in her bed watching TV.

    "That's not going to happen, Mom. Nice try though."

   "I can't believe you're graduating soon. You grew up too fast. It seems like just yesterday your dad and I were changing your diapers." She looked really sad. I swear she could be so sappy sometimes. I put my hand on her shoulder.

   "Mom. It's okay you'll be fine. It was bound to happen someday right?"

   "I guess."

  "Well, Mom, I think I'm going to head off to bed. I'm tired and I have to get up pretty early tomorrow."

  "Okay, hun. See you in the morning sweetie."

 "Night, Mom." I said and waved. I walked to my room and checked my phone. I had seven new messages. Most from people I really didn't even care for. I looked through them all, only replying to Emma's, Olivia's, and my friend, Selena. Everyone else sent me random messages about the trip.

   Phonies. The only reason why I had so many texts in the first place was because everyone tried to be my friend. I guess they were just trying to get close to me to get into the "in" crowd. I was nice though, so i didn't say anything. 

   I fiddled around with my fingers trying to contain my excitement for tomorrow. This trip was going to be perfect! Soon, I fell asleep. It was restless night though. 

   My alarm went off and I pressed snooze. Over and over again. Finally my mom woke me up frantic because I was running late. 

   "Oh my God, Haley! Hurry up! You're going to miss your flight! Are you ready? Is everything packed? Let's go!"

   "Mom! Calm down, everything is by the door. Let me get ready and we can head out."

   "Alright, but you better hurry!" 

  "Okay." I quickly got ready and did one last double check then my mom pushed me right out the door. We hopped in my car.

   "Step on it!" I never thought I'd hear my mom say that.

   "Mom, I'm telling you I'll make it."

   "Just hurry your ass up!" I gasped at that.

   "Mom!" My cheeks went red. Emma called so I told my mom to answer and put it on speaker.

   "Haley? Where the heck are you? Hurry up and move it before we miss our flight!"

   "I'm on my way! Just wait!" With that I sped up. We took a fifteen minute trip in five minutes. By the time I parked my mom already had half her body out the door. I got my bags, got them checked, went through the security and we raced to the terminal.

   "Oh thank God!" Emma said when I caught up to her.

   "All flights boarding to Hollywood are ready. Priority members first please," someone said over the intercom.

   "Okay, mom that's us," I said giving my mom a tight squeeze. She teared up a bit. "Mom, I'll be fine. I'll call you as soon as we land okay?"

   "Okay, hun. Have fun."

   "I will."

   "Takes tons of photos for me," she said waving me off.

  "Bye mom." I said and Emma and I walked off. We walked onto the plane and sat in our seats. Turns out Emma's seat was across from mine. We tried to sit together, but the stupid flight attendant wouldn't let us. 

   "What if we get stuck sitting next to some old smelly men or something?" Emma said putting her thumbs down. 

   "Hey, Haley. Is this 24A and 24B?" Olivia came up and said looking at her ticket.

   "Uh, yeah."

   "Great! I'm sitting next to you. Hey Em," she said smiling.

  "Lucky. Watch I'm going to get stuck with some geezer. So totally not fair. Plus we live in Montpelier, Vermont. It's going to take us forever to get to Hollywood. I mean wh-" Emma was cut off my some loud boy. No, scratch that. Some loud Ethan.

   "What's up everybody? Hey do you know where I can find 24C and 24D? He asked some random women. They rolled their eyes and pointed to us.

   "What?" Emma said flatly. "This is just great." she hit her hand on her forehead. 

   "Hey, beautiful. Looks like I'll be sitting next to you," he said to Emma smiling. He reached up to touch her cheek but she just slapped it away. She moved over to the other seat and looked out the window. She was so in denial.

   The flight attendant told us that the seat belt light had turned on and to turn off all electronic devices to prepare for take off. I was still tired so I decided to take a nap.

       -------------------------------------------------------

** "Hello?" I said waking up in this dark place. I sat up and looked around. I was in someone's bed.  I got up to look around. Where was I? There was no one in sight. I looked at the walls and was immediately creeped out. Everywhere I looked there were pictures... of ME!

      "Okay, real funny. Where am I? D-d-did you do this Emma? J-jokes over," I stuttered. I tried to turn on a light but the switch wasn't working. I decided to check another switch but that one wasn't working either. 

   Suddenly I was running around trying all the switches but none of them were working. I stopped and put my face in my hands. Who was doing this where was I? All of a sudden I thought I could hear someones hitched breath. I was about to turn around when all of a sudden a hand reached out to grab me. 

   "AHH!" **

       ---------------------------------------------------------

   "AHH!!!" I woke up screaming.

   "Haley! Wake up you're okay stop screaming!" Olivia said. Wait what? Talk about embarrassing. Everyone was looking at me. What just happened? I never talk or scream or cry, or anything in my sleep! 

   "I just had the weirdest dream," I said sitting back in my seat.

   "Yeah, I can tell," Emma said. "You alright?"

   "Umm, yeah. I think so." I stayed awake for the rest of the ride. I didn't want anything like that happening again. Everyone else ended up drifting off to sleep. I looked over at Ethan and Emma. Emma was lying on Ethan's shoulder and Ethan had his arm around her and his head was placed on top of hers.

   See, perfect couple. I ended up reading tons of magazines. Finally, the flight attendants told us we'd be landing shortly and to buckle up again. After all the craziness we all finally found cabs. I smiled. Well, Hollywood here I come.
