January 29th

Today was the day, which means we're leaving to Florida. Hayes and I decided to be each other's motivation while packing. Yesterday we'd go to each other's rooms and just sit there, and talk about random things. What I really liked is that we could naturally contiue a coonversation without an awkward silence.

We went to school that morning, even though we were leaving during 3rd period. That gave us enough time to go pick up any work that we'll be missing over the next 2 days.

When I mean I couldn't sleep last night, I mean I could sleep. I couldn't get comfortable in bed, and I couldn't close my eyes. I was just so jittery, so I was nocturnal.

On the way to the airport I slept. On the plane ride to Florida I slept. On the drive to the hotel, I slept. I guess you could say that staying up all night, drained my body.

I'm not a morning person anyway. I don't like waking up early. I also don't like the feeling you get when you try to open your eyes, and you just can't.

For Hayes, you could say it was the complete opposite. He was awake all day, and when it was time to go to sleep he crashed instantly, while I was up eating popcorn and drinking soda.

I know, I know, soda is bad for you. But to be completely honest, I could care less. Aren't I so relatable?

Anyway I stayed up till about 2 in the morning and we were going to Disney today. So I figured I should at least get a good 4-5 hours of sleep. I was slowly drifting to sleep when I heard loud snoring.

Really Hayes? Right when I'm going to sleep? So I thought I minus well have some fun in this situation. I filled up a bowl of water from the kitchen faucet and dumped it all over his head.

Now I know that's pretty cruel, but let's consider it as payback for the flour incident. Yeah, sweet revenge. Hayes jumped out of bed almost instantly and ran to the bathroom.

It was a good thing I was recording it, too. I then shared the video on all social media. I shared it on Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Tumblr, and even Snapchat. Let's just say that I captioned all of them, "Stop snoring, and I decided to give you your payback a little early :)"

When Hayes came back from the bathroom, saying he was getting a lot of messages, wasn't how to describe it. His phone was completely blown up, and I couldn't help but sit back and relax.

"I'm not going to yell, I'm not going to yell. Why I'm not yelling is because I honestly wouldn't enjoy my mom coming in here and slapping me for waking her up. All I want to know is why?" He had a towel wrapped around his hair and I honestly couldn't take him seriously.

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't seem to take you serious when you have a towel wrapped around you head." I tried saying it in my best British accent.

"Fine," he then took off the towel and threw it on the floor. "Now can you tell me?"

"Well you were snoring, and that annoyed me a lot because I was just falling asleep."

"So you decided to pour a bowl of water on me, rather than simply shaking me to wake up?"

"Exactly, plus it's payback for the flour prank."

I went on my phone and clicked on Spotify. I played my playlist and turned the sound down to a soothing volume. One of my favorite songs came on, chasing cars.

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I slowly drifted asleep, and was awaken by my mom.

"We're leaving in an hour start getting ready. And there's food on the table."

I rolled out of the bed, literally. I fell to the floor, but on the brighside it woke me up. I got ready and then headed to the kitchen where everyone was already eating. I'm more of a waffles kind of gal, so I got my waffles and put butter and syrup on them.

The whole day was exciting. From going on the shuttle, to riding some of the rides. Of course my favorite was splash mountain. Hayes just replied, "that as long as he's with me, he'll love every ride we'd go on."

When he said that he made my heart break even more. I didn't want him to be whipped over me, just to be reminded that I'm moving to the otheside of the country. When we got back to the hotel, we went and chilled out by the pool.

Saturday we went to visit Will at his college, andit was pretty fun. We saw him and his team practicing. He gave us a tour around campus. We went go karting, and it was a pretty darn good day.

On Sunday we decided to chill in the hotel all day. We went to the arcade, played hide and seek on floors 2-5, and then we hit up the pool again. When we got out of the pool we went to Taco Bell, because Hayes and I were craving it.

When Monday came around, we started packing bright and early. We then packed the car and drove to the beach, since checkout was till 7. Hayes' sandwich ended up getting eaten by a seagull which was hilarious. I almost got stung by a jellyfish, which is why I spent the rest of our beach day on shore.

When it was finally time to head to the airport, we double checked the hotel room. Making sure we had everything we came here with.

Our flight got delayed by an hour so Hayes and I just sat there bored out of our minds. We played stupid games to keep our mind off it. I beat him in rock-paper-sissors, I spy, and tic-tac-toe. It then came to a point where we'd just stare at eachother making funny faces. It was the little things like this that I'll miss.

"Flight 25 to North Carolina will now be boarding." the woman on the ntercome says.

We all get up and grabbed our suitcases and carry ons. Goodbye sunny Florida and here I come N.C. I was still ecstatic, because tomorrow is my birthday. Finally turning 14.

February 3rd

My birthday and birthday party was a huge success, I made over $800. I still felt unhappy though. The closer it is till I leave, the sadder I'm getting. I guess I'm finally realizing how hard it is to leave the people I love.
