A summer with the Dayton brothers

It's almost time, just two minutes left until four – the end of my school, the end of my senior year in high school, well the end of high school literally. I'm counting second by second, I'm not even listening to what Ms. Rose is trying to tell us because who cares. It's like waiting for a movie or a season of a series you love and have been following almost all your life that's supposed to be out in the next hour or minutes, and you just can't wait or you wish to be a time traveler and skip that time. Forty seconds left. Twenty seconds One second The bell rings and I jump out of seat like it was being heated. I wave excitedly at the teacher and blow a kiss to my classmates, who probably think I am insane and need some help. It's a Friday, the last day of high school and honestly, there is no occasion in the world that is more joyous, well except a birthday. I think... I am not gonna wait for Monday to pick up my graduation slip, my cousin Melisa is gonna handle that for me since she's the one excited for graduation...I'm not. Everyone is always excited for graduation but not me. I don't think it's fun to sit in a hallway with excited students and throwing their graduation caps in the air. What if one of the caps has some stones or something heavy and hits you in the head then you end up with a concussion. Yep, That's something I don't want to do. Also there is prom which I don't want to attend at all. First because no one asked me but even though they did, I still wouldn't go. Second, I hate prom especially how I have watched most proms end. I ran to my locker, tossed all my books and my binder with papers, carelessly and shut it with a loud thud. Goodbye locker, you helped me but you were too far from most of my classes. I skipped towards my car and drove home quickly without even looking back. Finally, school is over and I can't wait to have the best summer of my life before college. I have all this summer planned out at the back of my head and nothing or no one will be able to change that. I wanted to enjoy this summer with my best friends, Elizabeth and Dylan but they already had plans so we had to go our different ways. "Mam! Dad! I'm home." I shout as I head to upstairs to my room to pack some clothes for the best summer of my life. As you're all probably wondering why this is the best summer of my life, all the summers before this one have been the worst. My parents are business people so I had to follow them everywhere to their boring meetings and it wasn't that fun. I had no one to talk to, I used to face time my best friends everyday but only at night so the rest of the days was me being lonely. This summer, mam and dad promised to give me the best summer before my I head off to college, which I'm looking forward to. They promised!! I pack all the things that I'll need in the next three months, especially bikinis and sunglasses. After I have packed all I need in three suitcases, I hop into the shower for a very long shower. I throw on some black skinny jeans and a grey crop top as I wrap my thick, rib length dark brown hair into a messy bun. I apply a thin layer of eye liner and some mascara, with a little shade of nude lip gloss. "Amelia!!" Mam calls from downstairs, "Yes." I reply, climbing down the stairs. Once I'm down, I walk through the living room to the kitchen to see mum and dad both sitting on the couches. They have serious looks and I start to have an inner panic attack, that look!! It means there's something they want to tell me that will sour my mood. That's the same look they gave me when they wanted to tell me that my favorite cousin, Sonia wasn't attending my tenth birthday party even though they promised she would be there. I hope this doesn't involve my summer or I'll murder someone. "We need to tell you something important, sweetie." Dad says. I take a seat on the couch opposite me. "Does it involve my best summer?" I ask with an expectant look and they give me proves I'm right. i turn my face away from them, my heart heavy. Tears threaten to escape my eyes. "No, don't cry honey. We promised you the best summer and that's what you'll get." Mam says as she walks up to me and gives me a side hug. "What do you mean?" I turn to face her and she has a sad smile. "You'll have the best summer but not with us. Something came up and your dad and I have a lot of work to do." She says. What does she mean 'not with us'? "You'll be staying with one of our friends who will be on a vacation this summer, going to very many different places, countries and beaches." Mam explains. A grin erupts on my face as I jump up excitedly. Mam and dad smile at how happy I am, "We are glad you're happy honey, that's all we've always wanted." Dad says as he walks up to me and hugs me. -------------------------------- "I love you." Mam says as she wraps her arms around me, followed by dad who hugs me from behind. I am now squashed by them and I don't think I am breathing properly. "I love you guys..... I can't breathe." I choke out patting mum's back. They notice my state and let me go. Mam is wiping off a tear and smiles at me. "We'll miss you, honey." Dad says from behind me as I turn away from mam, no need to be emotional right now. "You guys said you'll visit occasionally and I promised to call you as soon as I get there so need to be all emotional." I say as I hold onto my cross bag, ready to leave this house. Don't get me wrong, I'll miss mam and dad but there is absolutely no need for all of this. they are acting like I'm getting married and leaving to start my new family yet I'm just going for three months. In addition to that, they'll be visiting ocassionally and calling so no need for all that. Sometimes I wish I had other siblings who they would worry about, not me. sadly, I'm the only child and I don't see any child coming out soon. I sigh heavily and bid my goodbyes as I walk to the limousine they sent to pick me up. The Dayton family are apparently very rich. I googled them and Mr. Dayton is among the richest men in America. He inherited his father's property six years ago when he died and he has grown the company and he is even richer than his father was. They are big family, five boys and zero girl. This is where I started to feel scared and nervous. I mean, how would anyone feel if they were in a house with five boys and you're the only girl. Mam and dad told me that they were nice people and they were excited for me to visit but I had a feeling that was the only way to console me. The driver opens the car door for me as i settle into the limousine. My suitcases have already been put into the back. My nerves start to work and I my palms start to get sweaty. What if they don't like me? what if they kill me? ok.. now I'm overexaggerating but still.... ************
