(TWENTY THREE)

Summer break sucked for two reasons and two reasons only. One, Harvey had to go back to Miami and visit her very annoying cousins, aunts, and uncles. Two, she had to spend two months away from her boyfriend. It broke Luis' heart to see his little sister crying in her room while wearing one of his sweaters, even though it was eighty degrees outside.

"Mija, are you packed yet?" Harvey ran down the stairs with a smile on her face and her suitcases in hand. "When can I meet this Adam boy you talk to all the time?" Harvey set down her bags and walked up to her mom, towering over the poor woman, hugging her.

"When papa promises not to kill him." Her mother glared at their father and the girl chuckled as Luis came down the stairs. According to Harvey, her brother got uglier over the summer, but in reality and in the eyes of girls that weren't related to him, Luis Mendoza got hotter. Harvey got taller, like way taller. She was almost 5'10" and that was on a bad day. Her hair got longer and darker, and her mother tells her she got a lot more beautiful.

"You ready, hermana?" Harvey smiled and nodded her head before pulling her hood over her head. She was kind of sad that she could only talk to Adam and not see him.

"Hello?" The girl smiled as she ran to her room with the phone and shut the door.

"Babe?" Her eyes widened when she heard the now deep voice of her boyfriend.

"Woah." She could hear his laugh on the other line making her cheeks turn dark red. "Wait, I meant, hey Banksie. I really miss you and you sweaters doesn't smell like you anymore."

"I'll make sure you get all the sweaters you want when I see you again, and I miss you too, babe. The guys and Connie miss you." On the other side of the line, Adam and the team were sitting around a table at Mickey's. "Speaking of the guys and Connie. Say hi." Harvey internally squealed as her friends said hi to her, telling her how much they missed her.

"I love you guys." Goldie looked at Adam and smirked.

"But you love Adam more, right?" Everyone around the table laughed as the blood rushed to Adam's cheeks.

"Of course I do. I'll always love him more."

"I'm ready, Lu." The two laughed and smiled the whole way to the airport. When they got there, Harvey kept the tickets with her because she knew that Luis would lose them.

"Harvey? Luis?" The two turned around and saw a very tall Kenny Wu in front of them. Harvey dropped her bags and sprinted to the little, well now tall, bash brother. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled.

"Why are you here and why didn't you say anything, Kenny?" He smiled and let go of the girl.

"I had to visit some relatives and kind of forgot you two lived here." She lightly punched him as Luis walked over to the two with his and Harvey's luggage. "Harvey Mendoza, you ready to see Banks? According to the guys, he hasn't been his happy self with out you." Harvey's heart almost melted right then and there, think about how muchBanks had actually missed her.

"I'm always ready to see him." All three of them walked to their gate together and found out they all sat in the same row right next to each other. "So Kenny, when we're you gonna tell me that your taller than Lu?" Luis groaned as he slapped the back of his sisters head, mad that she brought up how short he was again.

"It happened so quickly. One minute I'm five feet tall, and then the next I've grown like a whole eight inches. Totally crazy dude." The three hear the speakers blare out their flight number, saying they needed to board the plane.

"I call window." The two boys called out to the girl but before they could argue, she was already on the plane.

..........

"Is that? Can it be? The Bandit, Harvey Mendoza?" Harvey turned around and ran, I mean full on sprinted towards her friends, running right into their arms. "Missed you too, buttercup." Dwayne had a thing for nicknames now and apparently Buttercup and little lady were Harvey's new ones. She let go of Dwayne and Russ before turning to Julie and smiling at her best friend.

"Ugh, I missed you, Jules." The blonde smiled before pulling the taller girl into a hug.

"I missed you too, Harv." They pulled away as the boys greeted Kenny and Luis before Julie and Harvey made their way down the hall with their luggage. "Me and you are roommates." Harvey nodded her head as she unlocked their door to see two beds, two desks and a huge closet. "It's big. I like it." Harvey agreed with her as she began to unpack her things. The first thing she hung up was Adam's USA black sweatshirt and his dark purple ducks jacket. "Have you guys talked this summer at all?" Harvey looked up from her bags and nodded at Julie.

"Everyday at three o'clock for two months." Julie awed as a knock came from the other side of the door. Harvey and Julie looked at each other and shrugged before Harvey opened the door to see Charlie and Averman, smiling at her, but when they got a good look at her, their eyes widened.

"Woah, Harv, you got ta-taller." She smiled and grabbed the hung up sweatshirt off the hanger.

"You did too Char. Now please take me to see Adam, it's been ages. I need more hoodies."
