2024-10-29 19:42:56After a long day of driving, making a pit stop in every state we finally arrive at the hotel we’re staying in for the night. We checked in to the Whitten Inn in Elk City, Oklahoma. Got our room key, climbed back into our cars to park closer to the room, and entered our accommodation for the night.
The hotel room was a standard two double bed, bathroom, basic TV, mini fridge, and kettle with hot drink supplies. The bed felt comfortable, but I wouldn’t be testing that out until I’ve had a nice relaxing shower. Once I got out of the shower Dad was already snoring so loud, that I don’t have to leave the bathroom to know he’s already fast asleep. I walk back into the room once I was dried and dressed in a pink tank top and white shorts with pink hearts printed on them, I felt exhausted I climbed into the bed, and I melted into the sheets they felt like clouds against my skin. Rolling onto my side I looked at the time on the digital clock on the bedside table seeing it said 02:35 my eyes felt heavy but before I fell asleep, I texted the girls saying I arrived safely at the hotel we’re staying at for the night. After hitting SEND I locked my phone, put it back down, and I closed my eyes, and drifted off into a peaceful sleep. BEEP BEEP BEEP I wake up to to turn the alarm off. “Morning baby girl” Dad is already up and dressed, packing away his pajamas into his overnight bag. I sit up in my bed rubbing my eyes. “Morning Dad” I then look at the clock to see the time and I groan in disbelief. “Dad, why is the alarm set for six thirty?” I ask him still feeling a little groggy from the alarm waking me up. “There’s an old saying ‘the early bird catches the worm’ We got to get back on the road if we’re aiming to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico by noon,” Dad says sitting at the foot of my bed, patting my leg he stands up and leaves the hotel room so I can get ready in peace. I’m up and out of the door in no time, making sure we’ve not left anything behind us as we head toward the hotel lobby. “I have an idea I’ll go check out and you go and grab us a couple of coffees then we’ll hit the road” Dad suggests. “Sounds like a plan Dad do you want your usual?” He nods “I’m on it” and we go our separate ways and arrange to meet back at the cars once we’re finished. Waiting in line to collect our coffees and a couple of bagels from the Starbucks across the street from the hotel I decide to check my emails on my phone. Pulling my phone out of my back pocket and open the email app. A certain email catches my eye, I open it up and read the email. Dear Miss Savannah Blakemore Thank you for your application for the open position of part time wait staff, and for our video call on Tuesday. We would like to offer you the position for which you have applied. Congratulations, please get in contact with us as soon as you are available so we can arrange a start date for you to join our team.

“Oh my god, I’ve got the job I can’t believe it,” I say to myself quietly “I’ve got the job” I cheer a little too loudly as everyone stops what they are doing to look at me or in my direction and I blush a deep crimson staining my cheeks. “Sorry,” I say softly then everyone goes back to what they were doing just like nothing happened, as I hear my name get called to collect my order. So, I head to the counter to grab the coffees and put in the sugars for both me and Dad with our bagels in hand too, and head back to the cars at the hotel so I can tell Dad the good news and we can get back on the road. We make good time on the road and arrive in Albuquerque, New Mexico just after noon. To celebrate my getting the job Dad is treating me to lunch at a nice restaurant called Campo. We dined outside on their patio looking onto the kitchen gardens. While we are waiting for the waiter, we looked at the menu to decide on what we would like to order. We made up our minds just as the waiter ar

After thirty-eight long hours from Wake Forest, North Carolina to Santa Monica, California we finally arrive at our new house late at night. The house looked beautiful lit up with its small fountain in the middle of the driveway central in front of the house and with small palm trees leading up towards the house. The moving truck was leaving as we arrived, we honked our horns and waved as we passed each other. I pull up outside the house putting the car in park, grab all I need out of the car, and climb out to look at my new home as well as the surroundings. “Wow” is all I can say I’m totally lost for words. If the outside looks like this, I cannot wait to see out back and the interior design inside. Walking up the steps to the open door, I catch my breath looking round the main hall. This house is unbelievable. The big open-plan kitchen diner to the left, the family room to the right with an office to the side, and a marble staircase that leads upstairs and down the hallway I can se

Driving down the street heading towards the school I make a couple of wrong turns before arriving in the school parking lot. With making them wrong turns it made me later than I had liked, especially on my first day. Climbing out of my car once I found a parking space, I grab my school bag from the back seat then lock the car, and head towards the main building. Walking through the main doors I look around at my new school and try to find my way to the school office to get my transcript, class schedule, and books. The office was an easy find thankfully. After getting my class schedule I am asked to sit and wait to speak with the school principal to discuss my transcripts. Ten minutes after talking with the principal I was dismissed to collect all my books and to go to find my locker. With my books in hand and a piece of paper with my locker number and combination written on it, I go searching. Finding my locker, I put the books I don’t need for my first two periods. Keeping hold of

I leave English and head towards History. Going down hallway after hallway I go up a flight of stairs to find my class. History class was easier to find than English, surprisingly. Handing the teacher my tran slip and then I take the first available seat. As I get my books out, I hear that sexy deep voice from earlier “Excuse me but um… you’re in my seat.” I look up to see those green eyes and my heart starts to flutter uncontrollably. “Oh, is there assigned seating in this class or something?” I asked him feeling a little nervous about him being this close to me. He chuckles at me rubbing his bottom lip with his index finger trying to seduce me with his charm and I must say it is kind of working. Oh, how I hate myself for this feeling he is making me feel. “No, there isn’t but everyone knows this is my seat. This is where I sit with the boys” he points at the desks around me noticing their all guys probably football players with their build occupying them. I started to feel even mo

We walked out of class together “What class do you have next?” Jen asked once we got out of the classroom. “Um...” I look at my class schedule “I’ve got Earth Science next.” “Perfect I’ve got that too is it with Miss. Dawson?” she asks, and I look back at my schedule and nod looking at the name of the teacher. “Even better we can go together,” Jen says as she links her arm through mine and leads us to our lockers before heading to class. We talk all the way to our lockers to grab our books and talk all the way to class. If we didn’t know any better, you could say we’ve been friends our entire lives. We got to class and sat together to only hear the voices from the hall before first period and now I know the names to go with the voices coming from behind us. “I can’t believe your sister is befriending the new girl” I heard what Candace was saying so me and Jen looked at each other and Jen rolls her eyes. “Candace just leave them alone it’s up to Jen who she hangs out with you k

We found Jen sitting at a table near the fountain in the school quad. Jen notices me and Selena and she waves us over. When we get to the table and put our trays down Chase came over to us “Hello ladies” and he smiles at all of us, but I noticed he looked at me a little bit longer than the other girls. Jen rolls her eyes “What do you want ass hat.” Chase then shushes his sister “Not in front of company but anyway, mom wants us home straight after school today for some dinner party tonight.” Hearing what Chase just said I choke on my drink “I know you dick wad, Mom told me before I left this morning you were too busy with that bitch of yours Candace.” Jen snaps back at him and she rolls her eyes at him again that’s twice in a matter of minutes and Chase glares back at his sister. “Jen you can be a real bitch some days yourself, anyway you’ve never given her a chance” Just as Chase finished his discussion with his sister Candace comes waltzing over kissing him on the lips as Jen

I met up with Jen and Selena at the end of the day. We arranged to meet up just outside the school entrance by the time I got there both Jen and Selena were waiting and to my surprise, Chase was there too. Chase was talking to Jen about something I can’t hear what he is saying as I’m not close enough. As I approached them, he winked at me acknowledging my arrival, and took his leave. Watching him walk away my eyes never leaving him I ask Jen “He didn’t leave because of me, did he?” She looks at her departing brother walking further away. “Oh no he just came to tell me to tell my mom he’s got an emergency football practice, so he’ll be home later.” I feel relieved and disappointed that he’s gone these feelings are so confusing I have never had them over a guy before and I’m intrigued to find out what they mean. I bite my bottom lip watching Chase disappear from our sight and the girls notice what I’m doing. “You like him, don’t you?” Jen questions I go crimson feeling put on the s

Wait a minute how did he know about my music? “Of course, sir I’m sure I can arrange something for tonight.” “That’s my daughter for you Stuart she lives for her music, she couldn’t put a guitar down since the age of three." He walks out of his office and stands by his boss oh, great trust my dad to embarrass me now. “Is there a particular song you would like to hear Mr. Lockwood?” Dad's boss thinks for a quick second “Could you play ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E. King that’s my wife and I’s wedding song.” “Certainly, sir that was the first song I ever learned how to play it would be an honor.” “Let’s keep it between us three for now I would love to surprise my wife with it,” Dad comes and stands next to me and squeezes me into his side. “Yes, sir not a word until tonight.” Dad shakes his boss’ hand “Until tonight, Maxwell.” “Yes, we’re looking forward to it” and then Mr. Lockwood left our house. Sitting down and talking to my dad at the kitchen counter for half an hour abou

Chase P.O.VFour years later Well, it’s been four amazing years in San Fransisco. Savannah and I graduated college last week. I got a degree in Business and in Finance, where Savannah got one in English Literature and in Music. Where I double majored in college Savannah had a major in English but a minor in music. We both graduated with high honors. The world is now our oyster. But before we can even think about anything to do with the world and how we wish to change it I am back at the office wanting to speak to Savannah’s father. It is now time we had that discussion I said I planned to have with him back when we were seniors in high school. Fuck that feels like forever ago. I told her father on the night of the Christmasqurade ball that one day I will come to him to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage and today is that day. I have arranged for a meeting with Mr. Blakemore to take place in the company’s board room and I asked my dad to be present during this meeting. I plan fo

It has been a couple of weeks since prom and the big day is approaching quickly. Today we get our yearbooks and get them signed before graduation day that is this Saturday. It’s hard to believe this is our final week in high school. It feels like today is still my first day of school but it’s actually almost my last. Not paying attention to where I was going or who was around me with my yearbook in hand I collide into a big, solid mass of a person knocking my books, my yearbook, and some odd bits of paper all over the floor. Bending down to pick everything up, still not paying attention to who I bumped into, on instinct I do apologize to the person as I start picking up my things. I see the person I bumped into bend down and starts to help me with picking up my things and holds out my English book and my notes to hand back to me. I can’t believe I’ve done this again. “You may need these sweetheart,” Hang on a minute? Did I just? Looking up I see Chase smiling at me as he holds my stuf

We all climb out of the limo and the guys are all holding our arms and escorts us up into the building. Two doormen kindly open the door for us and welcome us to the Crystal Palace and to enjoy our evening. First stop for us as Chase and Lucas recommended is to get our pictures done first so then that way, we don’t look too red faced or sweaty. That is actually not a bad idea if you think about it. We get a bunch of pictures took, we had solo pictures, the six of us together, just the girls, just the guys, and with our dates. I can’t wait to see how the pictures come out because I will be getting a copy of every single one. Entering into the ballroom of the palace we can hear the DJ playing ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga. We walked around couples and across the dancefloor to the only table that is free for us to claim. The girls and I put our purses on the table and hit the dance floor with how good the music is sounding. After a couple of songs, the guys joined us on the dance floor alre

After clipping my bow into place, I have one final look at myself in my bathroom mirror before I step out and show the girls. Walking to the door, putting my hand on the handle I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and open the bathroom door. On the other side of the door, I see Jen and Selena with their phones taking my picture and recording me as I walk out. Putting a huge smile on my face I walk out the bathroom giving the girls a twirl and a cute little princess curtsey I have seen Princess Catherine do before. The girls laugh and comment how incredible I look, and Jen commented on the bow. “How big did you want that thing? Fuck Sav that’s the biggest ass bow I have ever seen stuck on anybody’s ass.” We laugh at her comment as I walk over to my vanity. Sitting down on my stool I put in a pair of my mom’s diamond and pearl drop earrings and her snowflake necklace again. Wearing this necklace makes everything feel like it’s turned in a full circle. Finding out Chase was Wolf behind

Three weeks later Tonight is prom night. The night all the senior girls look forward to the most. Don’t ask me about the guys some look forward to it for other reasons than what it means. The girls and I are getting ready together. We all booked to get our hair and makeup done at a salon today for tonight. We are sat in the chairs getting pampered away, a treat from Selena’s Abuela, as she said no Nieta of hers will not go to prom without having a beauty day at the salon. We all chose to have a French manicure and pedicure, to keep it simple. We also showed our makeup artists pictures of our dresses so they could do our makeup to match our dresses. Jen’s hair shaped her face beautifully. She had a volumized high ponytail with some hair extensions that matched her hair color perfectly with elegant curls and some curls framing her face. To finish the look off she had this black jeweled crystal hair clip she slid into the top part of the ponytail. Jen’s makeup made her look much older t

Walking into the house I see Dad sat on the stairs with what looks like a photo album in his hand. I shut the door behind me and slowly approach him looking at the sad expression on his face as he stares at a photo in the book. When I got closer, he looked up at me with unshed tears in his eyes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he said that everything was fine and he was just living back in the past, and he showed me the page he was looking at in the photo album. It was Mom and Dad’s high school graduation. It was the picture of Mom with her diploma and then Dad with his diploma and under that was the picture of the two of them together. Dad told me the story about how him and Mom met in high school. Hearing what he said was almost a de ja vu. Mom bumped into Dad as she wasn’t watching where she was going, and Dad bent down to help Mom pick up her things and he said it was like love at first sight. We sat on the stairs for a few more minutes just talking and reliving the good

The school year is flying by. Finals are vastly approaching; concert rehearsals are in full swing and it’s almost time for prom season. Chase has been working hard at school and working harder with football. Right now, he has done all he can to impress the college scouts. We all have been working hard I’ve even seen Jen studying some pre law books and even reading about the LSATS. Selena went to some business seminars to see if that is truly the route she wants to go down after graduation. Lucas has been working just as hard if not harder than Chase with his school work and with football. Greg on the other hand has slacked off a little but he has already confirmed he has a secured place in college already. But which one? I don’t know. College acceptance letters should be coming in the post soon but how long after finals will they arrive? Hopefully not long as I believe they wait for finals and the final grades before sending out the letters. All this pressure can make or break some hi

Lunch in hand, Selena and I start walking to the bleachers when Greg and Lucas catch up to us, and the four of us walk together the rest of the way. Jen and Chase are already sat up in the bleachers as we arrived. Lucas helped Selena up with her food and Chase came down to help with mine and we went and joined Jen and enjoy our lunch together. We joked around and had a good time just as we should do at our age because with this being our senior year we only have a short time together like this before we go our separate ways for college. Speaking of college, we all talked about where we have applied for and where we hope to go. Lucas has had a couple of calls from college scouts and Chase said he has had the same but the one he is hoping to hear from he has not just yet. Jen said she is wanting to do a couple of years in one college and then go to Harvard to study law as that is where she feels more passionate, and she gets to be part of the family business in some way or another.
