Washington DC

The next morning I rose out of my bed and got dress and finish my packing and I went downstairs. I ran into my mom who looked like she had been crying and I do not know why but it looked like she had. She took my hand and brought me into the kitchen. She sat me down and said “I’m so proud of you” as she laid break feast down on the table. “You’re going to DC to represent this family and your school. I never thought you would be one of the ones of the three people ever to win an award that is so to get that you have to be better than the best to get it” she continued with a tear rolling down her check. “Mom, I’m just going for a week you won’t even know that I’m gone. Anyway, the limo will be here soon and I have to get really to go. I went up and got my bags to come down and put in the limo. The limo was at the door my mom came and got me and said “the limo is here to get you to go”. We walked down the stairs together and she walked me out to the limo and gave me a big hug. I got in the car and put the window down and told my mom “goodbye mom! See you in a week”. I stepped into the long dark limo I was wearing my favorite velvet shirt and cutoff jeans. My hair was pulled back into a tight knot and my diamond earrings were shinning in the sun. I closed the door behind me and slid over into the seat. James was already here in the limo we were on our way to get Elizabeth. James was wearing his navy blue marine shirt and jeans. His hair was tidily combed to the side. He was looking at me normally like nothing had happened. He said “I can’t wait to get there. I bet it’s going to better than we imagined”. Just then, we heard the door open and I moved over to sit James. Elizabeth sat down on the opposite seat and turned on her iPod. We left Elizabeth’s house and went to the airport to go to DC. We got on the plane and we had nine hours to get there.
        Nine hours later we pulled into the hotel garage. It was just us and our driver Kenny. We’d all be sharing a room since Kenny was also our chaperon. We got room one zero one on the tenth floor which was the next best suit there was. James and Kenny got the rooms to the left and Elizabeth and I got the rooms on the right. We all had to share the same bathroom and I was in charge of the cooking.
       I unpacked my things and went to sit out on the balcony while Elizabeth unpacked her things. I sat there listening to the birds cradled until I feel a sleep sitting there. I woke a little when I felt myself moving like someone was carrying me. I opened my eyes to see the James had me in arms arm and my head was on his chest. He tried to sit me down my bed but I would not let go of his shirt. So he just sat down on the bed with me in his arms. A few minutes passed and I came to and I let go of his and got up.
