Why is it that on week days
I get up really late.
But on weekends, I wake
up really early?

‘For being an idiot” she giggles. It’s an ongoing joke that we have, someone punches or hits the other and they say “what was that for?” and the other person say, “for being an idiot”. It was from a TV show we used to watch when we were little. The joke is all in good fun but I know she probably meant it. We go to the bathroom then we look at ourselves in the mirror. Rachel is so cute. She has the best personality because she is so bubbly and happy. She is always smiling. She has a great smile. Rachel has thick brown hair. Her hair is so long and curly, it’s perfect. I don’t know how she makes it look so shiny. Her eyes are perfect also. Her eyes are never one color. There are hints of green and gold and grey on top of the brown. Her eyelashes curl perfectly every morning. She never has to use an eyelash curler like Claire and I. Although she is short; she is a ball of fun. The funny thing, she looks like Jack’s twin. If she cut her hair, they could be brothers. I couldn’t imagine not having her as friend. I remember in 5th grade, when she first moved to our school, I hated her. I didn’t like her and she didn’t like me. Then in 7th grade, she and I were in the same play and we just came to know each other. Claire on the other hand is tall, thin and blonde, just like me. Her hair is a lighter blonde than mine. Her hair is perfectly wavy. It’s not too wavy and it’s not like my awkward waves. Although my eyes are blue, her eyes are chocolate brown. She is the best person in the whole world. She is so sweet and kind. She has a passion for art and shes really good at it too. So many people say that we look alike that we are starting to believe them. Whenever I go to the store with Claire and her mom, the nice old ladies who ring us up always complement Mrs. Janis on her beautiful twins. We feel accomplished when they say that because we find it funny. One time we went to the nail salon and three different people asked if we were twins. I wanted to say yes, but Claire said no. One day I will tell people we are twins and they’ll believe us. After we fix ourselves in the mirror, we walk back to the bus. I sit in the seat next to Mike. He’s really cute. The rest of the trip down to Washington D.C., I can’t help but think about Mike. I wish I didn’t think about him but I am. I can’t like him. My friend likes him. I like Jack. I keep repeating this to myself, but it doesn’t help. I have to decide between a crush and my best friend. I try to distract myself by looking out the window. I try to name every car’s company as we drive past them. This distracts me, but not a lot.

When I wake up again, my iPod stopped play because I listen to all the songs in my play list. The sun is higher in the sky and I completely missed the sunrise. We are still on the high way but we haven’t reached the city yet. I decide to work on my short story. I am writing a story about a girl on the Titanic. It’s the typical Titanic love story: she meets a guy, the ship sinks, he doesn’t survive… I’m still working on a plot twist. I think I know what I want to do for a plot twist, but it’s not a decent one. If I ever want to me a writer when I grow up, I need better plot twists. I look over at everyone on the bus. Mike is sleeping like a rock. He looks really cute when he’s asleep. Too bad he’s Claire’s. Then again, she can’t tell me who to like. I look over at Claire and Ray; they are asleep on each other too. Isaac is asleep with his head up against the window and Jack is listening to music. I write for a while. I write a few pages but after a while, I get bored. I’m tired again. I wonder if Mike will get creped out if lean on his shoulder. It’s worth a shot I think to myself. I put my head on his shoulder. He wakes with a start. I pretend to be sleeping also. He groans and I and turns the other way, and I act confused. I am not trying that again. I open my eyes and we are pulling into a rest stop for a bathroom break. The building looks fine from the front but he back needs improvement. The bus parks and the chaperones tell us that this only a bathroom stop. I wake up make just to get out. When I get off the bus, I meet up with Rachel and Claire. I only get off the bus to talk to them. I want to know what they are going to say about Mike sitting next to me. After all, this is a big deal. We walk into the building and straight to the bathroom. When we get in there, there’s enough noise to muffle screaming, just in case Claire tries to kill me. “Oh My Gosh! You lucky duck!” Ray says. She playfully hits me on the shoulder. “I know. I know.” Say with my hands up like I’m surrendering. We start to laugh. Claire lightly punches me in the arm. “What was that for?” I ask.

“Hi’a” I say. “Calliope?” Mr. Wes calls. “Callie isn’t coming on the trip Mr. Wes” Ray say. She missed too many days of school. I really wish she was coming on the trip. We are going to miss her. “Okay. Last but not least, Charlie McDoland?” “Here” Charlie says quietly. “Great! That’s everyone!” Mr. Wes says and turns around to sit in his seat. I think for a moment after Mr. Wes says that. Isn’t Mike in our group too? He is in our group. “Mr. Wes!” I yell. He turns back around. “You forgot Mike!” I laugh a little. “Oh! How could I forget!” he looks down at his sheet again then he looks up at Mike. “Michael Ninno?” “Here” he says “Good, now we really do have everyone!” we laugh again. “I won't be able to keep track of all of you if I can’t even remember who all of you are! You’re all a bunch of Rug Rats!” he jokes. “Can we be the Rug Rats then?” I suggest. “Sure. Mike, Safari, you are Phil and Lil. Jack you’re Tommy. Isaac you can be Dill and Charlie, you can be Chucky. And Rachel, you’re Angelica and Claire you can be Susie.” He says pointing to each of us. “Mr. Wes, you can be Stu!” I giggle. After I say that, our whole group starts to laugh. “Sure, okay, I’m Stu.” He smiles and sits in his seat. This is going to be a great trip. Everyone starts to cheer on our bus as we start to pull out of the school’s parking lot. “Settle down” the chaperones yell. “Clam down!” “Go to sleep, it’s a long bus ride.” I put my head phones on and listen to music. I look out the window and watch ask we pull away from our school and we drive away from our town. I must have fallen asleep twenty minutes in to the ride because when I wake up again, we are on a major highway. I close my eyes again because the sun isn’t even over the horizon completely yet.

Mike is in the same situation I was in. I know he wants to sit by his friends and all the other seats near them are taken. All the seats, except mine. “Mike, over here” I call him over and I move to the inside seat by the window. He looks at me, and then he sits down the seat. I didn’t think he would actually sit! I don’t know how to react because I was just being nice and he doesn’t look like the kind of kid who would actually sit down…next to me; of all people he chose me! This thing would only happen in a dream! The first thing I do is text Claire. She is freaking out and so am I. I don’t like him that way, Claire does. I would totally be fine with this but this is my best friend’s crush. The last thing I want to do is lead him on. The only thing on my mind is to convince Mike to go out with Claire. We start to freak out. I reassure her that I will do that and only that. She tells me she will kill me if I do anything else; if I try anything else, she said she would have my head on a silver platter. That makes me laugh and Mike looks at me and smiles. I just smile and look away. Our chaperone gets on the bus and sits in a seat close to where we are all sitting. He sits in a seat a row in front of where Charlie is sitting. Charlie is sitting with his best friend Johnny. Johnny is in another group. Mr. Wes starts to take attendance. “Isaac Bunker?” he calls “Present” Isaac says. “Jack?” “Gift!” Jack smirks. Everyone giggles at the joke. This is why I am totally head over heels about Jack. Not only is he good looking, he has a great sense of humor. “Clara Janis?” “Hi” she says “Rachel Janoski” “Morning!” she smiles “Morning smiley” Mr. Wes smiles back. “Safari Jones?”

“Are you girlies ready to hit this city?” I am so excited for this trip. We are all excited for this trip. We heard stories about this trip and how some people go there and come back with boyfriends! The three of us want a boy friend each so bad. We’ve been trying so hard to get guys to like us be we never can. This is our chance to get the boys we want. All out our crushes are in our group. The only problem is that Rachel and I both like Jack. I either need to find a new guy or she needs to find a new guy. Isaac walks over to us with Charlie. “Good morning guys” we say. Isaac is one of my closest guy friends. He has blonde hair like mine and perfectly blue eyes. He spikes his hair up in the front just to look cool. He is really muscular and tall. Isaac is really good looking but I could never look at him that way because we are such good friends. He is so funny. He can make anyone feel good about themselves. He has such a bright personality. I couldn’t imagine not being friends with him. We met at our yacht club when we were eight. We’ve been friends ever since. Charlie is also another quiet kid but he’s not part of the in crowd. He is one of those really smart kids. He’s knows everything. He’s good looking but not very good looking. He has light brown hair that is short that is longer in the front than in the back. He combs the front to the side in a way that isn’t totally dorky. His eyes are a deep brown. He is average size and I’m not sure if he does any sports. He looks like a more academic type kid. I’d like to get to know him because he looks like a good friend to have around. “Alright everyone” Mr. Moore calls from the doorway of the gym lobby. He is out principal. He is very young to have the job he has but I like it that way; he knows what the student body wants. He lets us text in the hall ways and he even built a courtyard so we can eat outside for lunch when it gets nice outside. Everyone turns their head to look at him. “Is everyone excited?” everyone cheers in response. “Let’s get going then! Everyone get on your buses!” we all cheer as we load the buses. I get on the bus with Claire and Rachel in front of me. They sit in one seat and I sit in the sea across the aisle from them. It’s okay that I’m not sitting in the same seat as us because I like a seat to myself sometimes. After us, jack and Isaac sit in the seat behind Rachel and Claire.

I come up behind ray and give her a big hug. “Morning Cat.” She hugs me back. I walk over and give Claire a hug good morning. “Morning hot stuff” I smile. “Hey yourself.” We laugh. “Hey, what about us?” Jack asks. “Do you want a hug?” I ask even though I know the answer will be no. “Nope, I’m good” I knew it. I just smile at him and he smiles back. I’ve had a huge crush on Jack since the seventh grade. I don’t even know what it is about him but he is just so charming. Everything about him just makes me want to be near him. He has mahogany colored hair that is just longer than his ears and his bangs hang in his face. His hair is so perfectly groomed and shiny. He does this thing with his hair where he combs it back with his fingers and it makes his hair look so much better. He’s so dreamy. That’s not even the best part about him. His eyes. His eyes sparkle with so much happiness and joy. The color of his eyes match the color of his hair and it’s just perfect. His smile can light up a whole room. In other words, he is perfect. He does not have a single fault. Mike is tall and reserved. He doesn’t say much but that’s the way he is. He’s part of the popular crowd. I don’t even know why he was put in our group because we were allowed to choose a group we wanted to be in. There’s no reason why he would choose this group. He has light blonde, almost white hair. It’s longer and it curls on the tips. It doesn’t cover his ears but its close; it’s longer in the front than the back. When he pushes it back with his hand is when he looks the best. His eyes are brown like chocolate. He has amazing muscles. He plays baseball for ninety-five percent of the year and the other five percent is when he is going to baseball award dinners. And rumor has it, he has a six pack. Claire has a really big crush on him. Sure, he’s really good looking but I don’t get what she sees in him. She knows that she never has a chance with him but she still tries. I don’t get it. “Hey” I say to Mike. He just smiles. I turn away to talk to my two best friends in the world.

“Let’s get going Safari” my dad says as he grabs his keys. We go out the side door so we do not wake up my brothers or sister. The car ride is silent because I am too excited to talk and my dad is only half awake and he can’t carry on a conversation. Finally, we reach the school. My dad helps me get all of my things out of the car. “Do you have everything you need?” he asks to make sure. “Yup, everything is in the bag.” He kisses me on the forehead and nods. “Good. And be good while you’re away.” I nod. “But most of all; enjoy yourself.” “Of course” I promise. We do our secret handshake. He taught it to me when I was seven and we’ve been doing it ever since. He gives me one more kiss on the forehead and he leaves. I wave as he drives away. Then, I turn around and put my suitcase under bus number two out of three buses. The whole eighth grade is going on a trip to Washington D.C. It’s a four day, three night trip to the Capitol. In the first day, we are touring Arlington National Cemetery and tonight we have our first dance. Then the next day, our chaperones choose what we will do and then, that night we will go to a dinner theatre. On the third day, our activities are up to our chaperones discretion and that night is another dance. On the last day, we have some time before we take the drive home. The bus rides to the city is a little over nine hours. We stop for lunch today at the Maryland House; it’s a pit stop to say the least. Eventually on the way home, we will stop there again for dinner. There are three coach buses. My group is on the second bus. All of my closest friends are on that bus. My group is comprised of Rachel Janoski, Claire Janis, Jack Dossce, Isaac Buncker, Charlie McDoland, Mike Ninno, and myself. Our chaperone is Mr. Wes. He is the woodshop teacher. Everyone loves him because he’s so funny and he just has a great personality. Every seventh grade girl has a crush on him because he is the youngest teacher in the school. I see Rachel and Claire talking to Mike and Jack so I walk over to them.

I try to lie very still in my bed. I try not to breathe for as long as I can hold my breath. I stare at the spinning fan above my head. I am mesmerized by the twirling colors on the ceiling. I turn to the side and look at what time it is. It’s only three in the morning. I can’t wait another hour to get out of here. I just need the clock to move faster and I need to get out of here as fast as I can. I turn to my other side. The left side of my bed stays vacant. The sheets are cold and the pillow is untouched. I don’t ever sleep on that side of the bed. I roll on my back again and lay completely still. I don’t move at all. I slowly look around my room. I look out my window, it’s so dark but faintly on the horizon is the rising sun. I can almost see the reds and oranges of the sunrise. I’ll be out of here by the time the sun is completely over the horizon. I just have to be patient enough to wait for it. I distract myself with what is to come in the next four days. I dream of the days ahead. I lay back and dream. I close my eyes and dream. I dream… “Wake up” my dad calls. “You have to go”. I climb out of bed. It’s time to go! I guess I fell asleep dreaming of the hopeful days ahead. I don’t even remember any of the dreams I had, but I’m awake now. I throw on the outfit I neatly laid out the night before. I put on white pants, a pink blouse and a sweater. I wear a pair of all stars because they’ll be easy to walk in for a while. I looked in the mirror by my closet. I have light blonde hair with caramel colored lowlights. My hair is layered in short shaggy layers and my bangs sweep across my forehead. My hair is naturally wavy but my sister straightened it the night before so I would look nice for tonight, when I get there. With bursts of green, my eyes are piercing blue. My parents still can’t explain why I don’t look like the rest of my family. I guess I’ll find the truth eventually. Everything I need is downstairs by the door. I’m ready to go now. I go down the stairs to my dad. He packed me a bag with food in it for the trip. It has every food I love and many other snacks. “Good morning Jungle Cat” he says. My name is Safari but my dad calls me “jungle cat” so all of my friends call me “cat’. My parents traveled all over the world when they were younger. They absolutely loved the African Safari so they just had to name me after it. “Good morning Dad” I smile. I grab my bags and walk out the door. I put my suitcase in the back and my backpack in the front seat of my dad’s blue pickup. I skip back through the door and talk to my dad. “Ready to go?” I ask. I cannot wait another minute to go. It’s 0430 by the time I am completely ready to get on the roads. We are meeting at the school at 0500.
