Fallin' For You-Part 4

TWENTY-THREE

"How many of the children are coming?" Alvar asked, poking his head out from Biana's door and looking at everyone in the room. "Because we are leaving tomorrow."

"Excuse me," Biana said, rolling her eyes. "Wylie, Fitz, Tam, and Linh are all certifiably adults—therefore, you can't call them children. And yes, everyone in this room is going except Jensi."

"It's so sad that you can't come," Linh said, turning to their short friend.

Jensi shrugged. "It's kind of a bummer, but I think going to Florida will be fun."

"Okay," Alvar said, rubbing his eyes. "I just wanted to remind you that we're leaving at six o'clock tomorrow morning, so remember to get here on time."

"Okay, thanks," Biana said before she slammed the door in Alvar's face. "Bye!"

"Well that was abrupt," Maruca said, blinking. "Why do you want him gone so badly?"

"I don't know," Biana said with a shrug. "I just do."

"Sibling problems," Dex said, shaking his head. "You wouldn't understand."

Jensi, Tam, Linh, Fitz, and Biana all nodded their heads, looking solemn.

"Anyway," Sophie said with a laugh. "Why don't we proceed with movie-night?"

"Oh, right," Biana said with a grin, grabbing a CD of putting it into the CD player. "I'm so excited for this!"

"What movie are we watching exactly?" Fitz asked, staring up at the screen.

"A really old one," Biana answered back with a giggle.

Then, the menu screen came on with The Princess Bride on it in pretty letters.

"Oh my gosh, I love this movie," Maruca said as Biana hit play. "I haven't watched it in forever."

"Me neither," Sophie said, gaping up at the screen. "The last time I saw it was in sixth grade I think."

"Well," Biana said with a smile. "You can all thank me later."

It was silent in the room as the movie stared, but then Biana blurted out, "Um...it's later now."

Their whole group laughed before they all yelled, "Thank you Biana!"

"I'm so sleepy," Sophie groaned, rubbing her eyes over and over again. "Why'd we have to get up this early?"

"Because, it takes a good while to get all the way to the cabin," Alvar explained. "And I want to get there in time to still be able to sleep."

The trip that they were going on had been planned by Alvar. He decided, as a gift, to take Biana and Fitz and all their friends to his cabin for spring break. The cabin had a lake, woods, a hot tub, and it was three stories.

But the downside was their vehicle.

Alvar had rented a cargo van so that they'd all get to be social with each other.

"I call the back!" Sophie, Maruca, and Biana yelled together as they all started heading over to the van.

"Well, I call shotgun," Fitz said with a yawn. "You're driving, right?" He asked Alvar.

Alvar nodded, getting into the front seat. "Yep, so make sure you wear your seat belts.

"We can sit in front of Biana and Sophie," Linh told Tam, grabbing his hand and leading him to their seats.
