     It was this morning that I told Alli about my dream. I am sleeping at her house tonight. The clock next to my bed read 7:30. I sighed and rolled out of my bed. Literally. My body hit the floor. "Ow." I rubbed my elbow. My door busted open. I saw Logan standing there. "Sophia ar-" He stopped talking and started cracking up. I guess it isn't everyday that you see someone laying on the floor, tangled in blankets with horrible bed head, rubbing their elbow.

     "Shut up Logan." I grumpily moaned and untangled my self from the blankets, then pushed past him and walked down the steps. Dan and my mother were eating eggs in the dinning room. I saw 2 plates sitting in front of the empty seats. One for me, and one for Logan. "Mom, I'm sleeping over at Alli's tonight." I told her as I bit into my eggs. "That's fine Sweetie." She acknowledged.

     Dan slammed the news-paper down. "No, that is not fine. Sophia, you can not tell us what you are doing. You ask us, then we deciede if you can do it or not. And you know what? You can't sleepover at Alli's tonight. Get used to not being able to do what ever you want!"

"Dan, actually does have a good point Sweetie." My mother pointed out.

"You think I get to do what ever I want?" I questioned in disbelief. "If I got to do what ever I want, I would be at the mall with my friends from school, We would be walking around and eating a Big Mac from McDonalds. Then we would come home and gossip about boys and what we wanna be when we grow up." I yelled back.

"SOPHIA! Don't talk to Dan like that, he has a point, but you also do to!" My mother butted in. 

"Sophia, didn't you ever think how Logan and I feel? He was the star quarterback on his football team and had a pretty good chance of getting a scholarship. But no, we picked up or lives and moved to L.A. for you. So you could do what you love, which happens to be your job. Logan may never get that chance again. I'm sorry that I'm bitter towards you sometimes, and this is why. You just don't understand that people drop what they are doing, just for you. And they can't do they things they want for you. So no you may not sleepover at Alli's tonight." Dan's voice echoed through the house, though he wasn't yelling.

"So I'm not allowed to sleepover at Alli's because Logan can't play football anymore?" I raised an eyebrow, then eventually started cracking up. My mother couldn't help but to leave a couple giggles out. 

"Yes." Dan couldn't help but to smile.

"Ok?" I finished my eggs, and put my plate into the sink.

 "Sophia." I heard Dan call me as I walked back through the dining room. 

I turned around. "Yes?"

"You may sleepover at Alli's tonight." He sighed, defeated.

I smiled. "Thanks Dan." 

I ran up to my room and started to pack.

After I finished packing I looked at the clock. 8:59. I sighed.

My phone buzzed.

Alli- Aye! What are you doin girl?

Me- lol. Not anything really. Just finished packing for tonight. Why?

Alli- Can you come over now?

Me- Sure lemme ask.

"MOTHER!" I yelled from my room.

"YES?" She called back.

"CAN I GO TO ALLI'S NOW?"
