Reality Ruined My Life
one.
"Don`t forget your swim suit, Calla!" I heard my mother`s voice drift up the stairs.
"I won`t, Mom," I called back, tossing a few swim suits into my suitcase. It was the first day of summer break, and my family was bringing me and my best friend, Alli, to our beach house in California. I jumped when I heard my cell phone scream out Alli`s ringtone. "Yes ma`am?" I chirped, plopping down on my bed.
"Blue with white polka dots or orange with pink stripes?" Alli demanded.
"Both," I laughed. "Excited?"
"More like stressed. What are the guys like in California? What colors do they prefer?"
"Bright ones."
"Will do. See you tomorrow morning!" She squealed, making me pull the phone away from my ear.
"Bright and early!" I replied, before pressing the end call button. I tossed my phone back on my bed and continued packing.
"Alli, wake up," I whispered, poking Alli in the side. I blinked sleepily and glanced around to find myself in my parent`s SUV next to Alli in the backseat while my mom and dad were in the front and my twin brothers were in the middle row. Alli jolted awake and glanced around wildly. She relaxed when she saw where we were and she stretched her arms over her head. "Are we there yet?" She yawned.
"About five minutes away," I replied, glancing at the road sign out the window.
"Good, my legs are cramping up," She said while gently massaging her calves.
When we pulled into the driveway of our beach house, Caleb and Cory, my 12 year old brothers, leapt out of the SUV and sprinted to the beach, ripping their shirts off, already wearing their swimming trunks. I shook my head at them and climbed out to help my parents with the bags and Alli did the same. "It`s so pretty out here," Alli cooed, looking around.
"You two girls take your bags and go get settled in your room, then you can do whatever you want to," My father said, hauling our bags out of the back of the vehicle. We took our bags and made our way to the house and let ourselves in. I opened the door to the room we were going to share to find two twin beds. Alli and I both put our bags down on our beds, peeled off our clothes, and changed into our swimsuits. We decided to be matchy by both wearing bikinis, jean shorts, messy buns, and big sunglasses. Slipping on our flip flops, we both ran downstairs and burst through the door in a dead sprint towards the beach. Alli stopped and grabbed my arm, dragging me behind a shack full of swim toys. "I spy with my little eye some gorgeous boys!" She whispered, pointing to a group of guys chasing each other around in the sand. Before I could object, she linked arms with me, rolled back her shoulders, and marched right up to them. "Hi, I`m Alli, and this is my friend Calla." She announced, smiling. All five of them turned to face us, confused looks on their faces.
"Hi Alli and Calla, I`m Harry. This is Zayn, Niall, Liam, and Louis," He pointed at each boy when he said their name. Each of them waved and said "hi." Louis` blue eyes looked me up and down and the corner of his mouth hitched up in a smirk. Did he just wink at me?
