Chapter One

RING! RING! RING!

“Hello?”

“Hey, Summer! It’s Erica."

“Oh, hey! What’s up?”

“Summer, I know how irresponsible you are, so I’m going to give you a pop quiz for tomorrow.”

“Oh, no. Erica, why can’t you just leave well enough alone?”

“Because I’m too smart. Ok, where are we going, how are we getting there, and where are we leaving from?”

Summer sighed. “New York, we’re taking a plane, and we’re leaving from LAX.”

“Ya know your stuff so far. What time does our flight leave, and where & what time are we meeting?”

“8 a.m., we meet at 7:30 at baggage check. And Erica, before you even ask, my ticket is in my purse.”

“Ok, good. Anyway, I have another call coming in, so I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Alrighty, bye Erica.” Summer began grumbling as soon as she started to finish packing. “It would serve her right if I DID show up late and miss our plane. She can be so annoying sometimes. Ok, what CDs should I bring? Oh, I’ll just bring all of them. I’ll NEED something to listen to on the plane, since we won’t be sitting together. And why am I talking to myself? I am turning into SUCH a loser.” Summer ran downstairs to the kitchen, where she got out some strawberries. Just then, her mom came in.

“Hey, sweetie,” Mrs. Smith said. “Still on your health-food kick?”

“Yup,” Summer told her. “But once I get to New York, the desserts will probably be too tempting to pass up.”

“Speaking of New York, are you all packed, dear?”

“Well, pretty much. There is some stuff that I can’t pack till tomorrow, though.”

“Ok, well just make sure you get to bed early then. Oh, and you got the credit cards and extra cash I put in your room, right?”

“Yes, mom. Holy crap, it’s past 10:00. If I hafta get up at 6:00 tomorrow morning, I’m going to sleep now. Night mom!”

Mrs. Smith smiled. “See you in the morning.”
