The Gamer [Clifford]

0.5 road to derpcon

"Get up get up get up!" Lexi yelled at me as she barged into my room and jumped into my bed. It's was 4am and today we were leaving for LA.

It had been a crazy last 2 weeks. It was filled with packing and traveling to my sisters sucky ass softball games that I spent most of the time playing games on my phone against Michael or talking to Lexi about the trip. Then it was back home and a week filled of trying to convince my parents to let me go. Around The 5th day of me asking and after I had posted why this was so important to Lexi all over the house they let me go.

"5 more minutes." I said putting a pillow over my head to block out her excited high pitched voice.

"Oh hell no. We have a plane to catch get your ass up." She pulled the pillow off my head and pushed me out of my bed. "Boo you whore." I yelled at her as I stood up and looked at my phone. I had a text from Michael.

Text from Michael:
I can't wait to see you, text me when you land.

I knew he wouldn't be awake but I sent him one back anyway.

Text to Michael:
Will do, see you soon!

"Is that him?" Lexi asked as she laid back on my bed with a huge smile on her face.

"Yes." I sad looking over and taking in her appearance. She was in leggings and a maroon sweater with her long auburn hair tied into a ponytail.

"I ship it."

"I'm glad you approve." I said as I opened my closet and grabbed a pair of black leggings and my grey sweater with a multi colored elephant on the front. I quickly changed and put my hair into a side braid.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked Lexi as I walked into my room she jumped up and ran past me and grabbed my suit case and ran outside.

The flight wasn't fun. I was stuck between Lexi and a snow bird who had no concept of personal space. After awhile I was so done and just put in my headphones and sat back and listened to this new band Michael told me about.

The landing wasn't much better. I hated that part the most. I always feel like I'm going to die in this giant metal tube, like I was going to the ground in a metal coffin. I guess I know how sardines feel.

We got off the plane and went to the baggage claim and collected our things and walked to find the driver Michael said would be waiting. I understood he wouldn't be there they had rehearsal today.

We walked through the crowds of people and I found a man holding a sign with mine and Lexi's name on it. We walked over to him and then we proceeded to the hotel.

The hotel was huge, very modern and bright. There were hundered of fans around wearing there 5SOS merch and talking to one another. I walked up to the front desk and checked in and then went up to the room. It was 2 pm in LA, so it was 7 back at home and I was ready exhausted from the day.

Lexi and I both put our luggage down and laid down for what only seemed like a moment when there was a knock at the door. I walked over to the door and looked through the little peep hole. I opened the door and smiled at the hotel employe. "There is a message for you." He said as he handed me a pice of paper. I thanked him and shut the door and read the small note he handed me.

Hello,
I hope the flight was okay, even though I know you hate flying. I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you got to the hotel but you know, I'm in band. I was thinking we could all get together for dinner tonight. Call me when you get a moment.

I walked back into the main part of the hotel room where Lexi was asleep on her side of the bed lightly snoring. I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and walked into the bathroom dialing Michaels number.
