Chapter one:

{Claire's POV}

I was so excited when my mom announced we were going on a trip to Washington DC!

Me and my family live in Michigan so this was really exciting for us to visit a really urban place.

We don't live in the country but it's DEFINITELY not a city.

•••

My mom wakes me up at 5am. Ugh!

I get dressed into so jeans and a sweatshirt. (No one there I cared about impressing.)

"Let's hurry!" My mom says.

"I have the bags," yelled my dad.

My sister is already in the car. So I hop in next to her.

Later at the airport

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

We get in our flight as I settle down in my seat.

Ok, let me tell you about myself. I'm 12 years old, my name is Claire, and I have blonde hair.

I start to listen to some music when a boy (very cute) sits down next to me.

We don't talk much until I get up to got to the bathroom.

Man! Do you know how hard it is to pee when every 10 seconds the plane bumps!

I go back to my seat and (accidentally) okay... Maybe a little on purpose, feel into the cute boys arms.

"Peyton," he says smiling.

"Claire," I say barely able to speak.

10 minutes later the plane is about to land.

"Wait, can I get your number?" He asked.

"Sure!" I say smiling as I write it down.
