ugh my stupid alarm. i check the time it's 5:05am. ughhh. i need coffee. i get up and go into the bathroom to shower. i grab out a pair of black leggings and a white cropped tank top. i look in the mirror and i look dead. haha. i start the shower and message anthony. 'gooooood morning bebe<3' i send my text then i get into the warm shower.

as i am in the shower my phone blows up with notifications. i am waiting until after my shower to answer them. my shower time is my reflection time and i'm scared i might drop my phone in the shower. it is waterproof but i'm scared of breaking it.

my shower thoughts are wack. i think as i get out of the shower. literally my thoughts are anthony and stupid questions and funny tiktoks. that's about it.. i dry off my body and get dressed. i'm glad i shaved.

once i'm all dressed i brush my teeth and finish up my routine so i can pack up the rest of my toiletries and my shower things as well. i do my hair after. i have to put my curl stuff in it.

once i finish my hair i finish packing up everything and respond to all of the messages. madi and anthony spammed with me messages. i laugh. i leave my hair down, then i throw on a blue jacket over top of my tank top. i walk out of my room and see my mom making breakfast.

"aww thank you mommmmmm." i say dragging out the m. "are you all packed?" my mom asks me. i nod. "just finished." i say while going on my phone. "i'm going to bring my bags out." i say while running into my room. i make my bed then i do one last check, i throw my polaroid camera and a bunch of film packets into my duffle bag then i decide i have everything. i bring out all of my bags. "you look ready." my mom says to me. i laugh. "i feel ready... i think." i say. i'm getting last minute nerves.

"avani you are going to have the time of your life, you will be living with all of your friends on a bus and in hotels traveling all across the country." my mom explains to me. i smile. she lays down 2 plates of pancakes on the table. "can you get your sister?" my mom asks me. i nod and walk over to priya.

i wake her up from the bed. "come and eat, i leave soon." i say. she just gets up, puts on her glasses and walks over to the table. she sits down and eats pancakes with me. "mom are you guys packed?" i ask her and priya. "almost, priya did you finish?" my mom asks priya. she shakes her head no. i laugh. priya's just like me in the mornings. "avani what time is anthony coming?" my mom asks me. "he said at 6:45 he was coming." i respond. she nods. "well honey it's 6:35." my mom says. i almost choke on my pancake. ahhh.

i scarf down the rest and run into my room make sure it's clean. i grab my lanyard, throw that in my backpack. i grab my phone. i hug priya first. "have a safe flight, i'll see you all in 2-3 weeks! be good, i love you lil sis." i kiss her head then i walk over to my mom. i like bear hug her. "avani you will do great things, remember to always be yourself." she kisses my cheek. i smile. "i love you momma." i say. then i pull away from our hug and anthony messages me he's here.

i put on my backpack and lay my duffle bag on my suitcase. i wheel it to the door. my mom walks with me. priya comes as well. my mom is carrying a bag of pancakes, i'm very confused as of why but i don't question. we get into the elevator. "do you have your phone and your wallet?" my mom questions me. i show her my phone and hold up my lanyard.

we walk out to the front of the building. i see anthony in an uber. he gets out, hugs me and kisses my forehead then hands me aan iced coffee from starbucks. i hug him again, then he helps me to put my bags in the back of the car. after he walks over. "okay bye mom i love you." i hug her one last time. anthony goes over and hugs her as well. i hug priya. "be good. i love you." i whisper to priya. i see my mom hand anthony the bag of pancakes. he smiles at her. "thank you." he says to her. "treat her right." she says as anthony walks over to fist bump priya.
