Hi, I'm Amber Clark. I'm turning 17 today and live in California. My two best friends are Nina Ollman and Patricia Gonzales. Patricia is also 17, Nina is still 16. I'm 10 days older than her. The age difference doesnt really matter to us. We get along great.
When everyone gets here to my apartment we all get in the pool and starting pushing each other in. Finally, it was time for me to open my gifts. I sat in one of the chairs and started opening my presents. I got a lot of cool stuff. I mostly got money or something to do with One Direction. It was my last gift and it was a card so i figured it was going to be money. I opened it up and there is six tickets in it. Three are round trip flights to England and the other are One Direction concert tickets. It was from my Grandparents, Aunt and Mom.
I looked up in shock. "Am I dreaming..?" I asked, dazed.
"No, hun, and you can take two friends, If you'd like?" my grandmother asked.
I immediately looked up at Nina and Patricia. Nina went crazy and jumped up and hugged me. Patricia started screaming at the top of her lungs and we had to throw a cushion from one of the couches at her to shut her up.
Eventually, the party was over and everyone went home. I was so excited about the trip that i couldnt sleep. We were leaving on Friday morning and coming back 1 month from then. Thursday came super quick. Nina and Patricia were going to stay the night at my place so we could get to the airport on time. We picked up Nina first and she got in the car.
"I cant believe that tomorrow morning we are leaving for London and not coming back until a month later!!!" Nina squealed.
We got to Patricia's house and waited forever for her to get out. Her and Nina both brought pretty much their whole closet with them.
When we got to my place they helped me pack. We went to bed at around 10pm so we could wake up at 7am. My Mom came in and woke me, Nina and Patricia up. We were so excited that it only took us 5 minutes to get ready.
~at the airport/on the plane~
We got in the car and drove to the airport. We met my grandma and aunt there. We got to the airport early so we ate breakfast after we got through all the security. It seemed like we had been waiting for hours upon hours when they finally let us board the plane.
When we got on the plane Nina and Patricia sat next to me and I got the window seat. My Mom started freaking out because she hates flying. I started freaking out to because I hadn't been on a plane in forever. Once they let us start using our phones I felt a lot better. I immediately took it out and started listening to One Direction with Nina. We started getting bored so we got some food. We had been on the plane for 3 hours and we still had another 3 to go. I went on Twitter and started tweeting all of the boys from One Direction. The plane was finally starting to descend. The pilot came over the loud speaker and said we were going to be landing soon.
My Mom said "Thank God. It's about time."
I looked out the window and saw the place I was going to be in for the next month. The horizon was beautiful and it felt like a dream. I took some photos with my phone then they told us to put them away.
I went back to talking to Nina and Patricia. Nina said "I can't believe that your family pays for 2 friends to go with you. This is so incredible!! I love you sis!"
Patricia smiled. "Thanks, chicka!! We love you!"
I just smiled and hugged them. "Sisters till the end" I whispered, letting go.
I looked out the window again and saw the airport. The landing wasn't the smoothest, which scared me and my mom. We got off the plane as soon as we could and got our luggage.
