Jenny's POV
One of my best friends invited me to go to California with her and her family over the summer as they have a house in LA, I was really looking forward to it until she said she got tickets to some meet and greet with a couple of guys that she is obsessed with. Quite frankly I am not a fan of the boys, I think they were attention seekers and just got their fame for being "pretty" boys.
"Jenny? Are you even listening to me?" Asks my best friend Liv, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"As I was saying, you and me are all going to California this summer, we leave tomorrow at 9am, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6am." She says
"Yay, I am so excited !!" I squeal, but to be perfectly honest that was only partly true, I was excited to go to California but not to see all these Viners or whatever.
"Right well we better start packing, now." I say.
"I'll see you later Jen." says Liv.
"See you."
"Later."
I walk across the road to my house, my family is big I have my dad, a 20 year old sister called Alice, a 18 year old brother called Houston, twin 16 year old brothers called Tom and Zack, me who is 14 and an 11 year old brother called Ryan. I also have a step-mom called Olivia who has twin 15 yearolds called Claire and Patrick and another son called John who is 13. Alice and Houston no longer live in my house, they are both at university.
My house was recently built for my big family as we moved a month ago from England. My house has 15 bedrooms, we all have one each except Olivia and Dad who share and then 5 spare bedrooms because you never know what happens, well that's what my dad says. Each of the bedrooms have an large ensuite bathroom and a big walk in wardrobe. Some have a balcony, I'm lucky as mine does.
I walk into my house and up the massive staircase to my room, my room is painted white and has a turquoise feature wall were a big flat screen tv is attached to the wall. My king sized bed is facing it with a 2 turquoise seater sofa at the end facing the tv. I also have my iMac computer on my glass desk, my MacBook sitting on my bed, my white storage shelves filled with school work, reading books, my docking station and loads of other stuff. My glass vanity table with my make up, hairdryer, hair curler, my hair straightners and all my hair products. The feature wall has tons of photos of me, my friends and family in white frames and my bed frame has turquoise and white fairy lights wrapped around.
I grab my 5 turquoise and white suitcases from the storage room just at the end of the hall and I start packing all the stuff I will need. Two of my suitcases are for my clothes, one is for my shoes, another one is for my makeup, hair products and hair appliances and wash bag and the last one for all my electronic products and all the extra things that I will need.
I pack all my stuff into my suitcases, charge my iPhone 6, iPad Air 2 and MacBook Air and then put the chargers in my suitcase and my phone, iPad and MacBook into my carry on luggage. I walk down to the basement and into the den where I see Tom and Zack.
"Hey guys." I say
"Sup, Jenny" says Zack
"So do you want to make videos some video's for our channels?"
"Yeah, of course let me our cameras" Tom says as he goes to grab his and Zack's camera as mine is already packed in my suitcase.
Tom, Zack and me all make YouTube videos, we aren't insanely popular, we wouldn't consider us as "Youtubers"
On my channel we did the "Sibling Tag", on Tom's channel we did "Guess The Youtuber" and on Zack's channel Zack and Tom did "The Twin Tag"
After that we went up to Tom's bedroom and started editing the videos, my video didn't take to olong to edit as I wanted to keep the funny screw ups in it and we all knew each other very well. We didn't screw anything up on Tom's so I just adjusted the lighting and added text, Zack's took a while as he and Tom kept messing around and not keeping concentration.
We run back down to the den to find Paddy, Claire, Ryan and John looking at takeaway menus, I quickly grab the Chinese one, I pick up the phone and I start to order for Claire, me and Zack:
"Hi could I have a chicken chow mein, a honey chili chicken with boiled rice and a chicken and pineapple with fried rice please?"
"Yes of course, would you like that delivered?"
"Yes please."
So I give the lady my address and then she says it will be around 30 minutes so I hang up and I set the phone down.
I walk up the stairs to find my dad walking through the door.
"Hey sweetie, are you all packed for going to California with Liv?"
"Yes dad, I am all packed, we are just ordering takeout and then we are going to watch a movie and then I think I will go to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay sweetie, I just remembered, here is some money for California, I also have put more money on your debit card for you so you can take out more money there." He says handing me an envelope.
"Thanks daddy, I love you." As I hug him.
"I love you too sweetie."
I turn around, walk up the stairs to my bedroom and put the envelope in my carry on bag, I grab $30 and walk down the stairs just in time for the delivery man. I hand him the $30 tell him to keep the change and close the door.
I walk down towards the den to give Claire and Zack their food to see that everyone else has their takeout.
We put on a Harry Potter Marathon and sit and eat. After the end of The Prisoner of Azkaban, I decide to call it a night. I say goodbye to my siblings and then walk to my bedroom, I take off my makeup, wash my face and get changed into an oversized top with shorts. I put my hair into a messy bun and close the curtain, put my fairy lights on and I turn off the big light. I set an alarm and drift to sleep...
