Flipped Life-Styles
Off to NYC
I've been waiting since literally last year ago this time to go to NYC. My friends and I have been saving up our money for what it feels like FOREVER to go on one last trip before our senior year in high school. It'll just be fantastic to finally get out of this tiny town of ours and go to some place filled with opportunities for once. My name is Lucy. I'm currently seventeen years old and I live in a tiny town in Maryland. I was so surprised when my parents told me that I could go on this trip. My friends Alexis, Lia, and Marcy are all going with me, and we're finally leaving this morning.
"Wakkkke upppp," Lia screamed in my ear, "We're leaving in like...oh my god, 15 minutes! The girls will be coming in 15 minutes to get us! Oh my god, where did the time go. Ok, get up, um get a shower, you can use my bathroom and I'll go use my brothers, and hurry!", she said, while throwing a towel at my face. Ouch. This is what I get for spending the night at her house. I swear she could say one million words in under one minute sometimes she talks to much and so fast. I quickly showered and let my naturally wavy brown hair air dry. Lia did the same, except she has naturally straight blonde hair. She always looked so pretty, she had the best complexion and rarely ever needed to where make up.
Marcy and Alexis came to pick us up and we all threw our bags into Lia's 2013 Ford Escape. Her parents have a lot of money, and she's practically the entire reason why we get to go on this trip, thanks to the wonderful donations from her parents.
"Heyyy Alexis, lookin' sharp" I laughed when I said this because Alexis was wearing her huge framed glasses. "HAHA very funny. I didn't have time to put my contacts in." she snapped back in a playful tone. I always envied her among most people because she had the prettiest dark brown eyes and olive toned skin. Her dark brown hair made all of her facial features soft and she always looked like she belonged in a magazine.
"Alright, ladies. Let's get going, we don't want to be too late. We should be there in about um 5 hours so like around 6 o'clock, just in time for our hotel reservation! Let's go go go!" said Marcy. Marcy had dirty blonde hair and was the athletic one of the group. She by far had the best body out of all of us because she was so in shape but she also was the shortest one at the height of 5'4. We said goodbye to Lia's parents and headed to NYC.
*** The car ride went by fast and we were in NYC before I knew it. I didn't even realize it because I was a huge sleeper when it came to car rides. I could sleep through anything, even when Marcy and Lia blasted the new One Direction album on the radio. Yes, they were both fans. We all are, but we weren't obsessed, stalker fans, we just loved there music. "Oh my god, we're here!!!!" Lia shouted. None of us had ever been to NYC before besides Lia, so she was the only one who knew how awesome it was. The building's were super tall and there were so many people every where. Finally, we arrived at our hotel. It was super fancy, you could even tell from the outside. Like I said, we probably would have been sleeping in some bug infested hotel if it wasn't for Lia's parents 'generous' money supply. Lia wasn't snobby though like you would expect most rich girls, she was raised well and knew how to handle herself and her money.
We were completely confused when we saw tons of teenage girls outside our hotel screaming at the top of their lungs while security guards tried to clear them out of the way. What? Some celebrities must be staying here or something. We didn't know because we had made our reservations for this hotel about 8 months ago. We pulled around back to the parking lot and she parked her car under a shaded tree.
"Okay, this is amazing." Marcy said, starring at the hotel. "I wonder what celebs could be here, ooooo," she continued. "I bet it's Katy Perry. How cool would that be guys?" Alexis said with wide eyes. "Oh I bet guys," I said sarcastically, They were all staring like zombies," now before your eyes melt off, lets get inside, then you can stalk twitter for the answers you're looking for," I finished. I couldn't stop laughing, they were all so star struck and I could really care less. Though, it would be so cool to meet Katy Perry. So then we unloaded our bags and started carrying them into the hotel. It was good we were all wearing shorts because the sun was so bright out that day making the city hot.
When we got inside, Lia went up to the desk to get our room key and check us in. The rest of the girls and I waited by the fancy water fountain and admired how beautiful this hotel was. Seriously, everything was probably made of diamonds or crystal. Lia came back over and told us that our room was on floor 5. "Ladies, we'll take your bags," said a couple of cute workers at the hotel. "Thank you" Lia said and we followed them to our rooms. Lia and I shared a room, while Alexis and Marcy stayed in the room next to ours. As soon as we got our rooms, we all started to unpack. Each room had two king sized beds, a huge flat screen TV, a kitchen, a large, clean bathroom, and a balcony that looked over the city. It was amazing! I snapped out of my trance when I realized I forgot my wallet in the car. "Oh crap, can you toss me your keys? I forgot my wallet in your car." I said to Lia. "Oh yeah, sure" She said while she searched her purse and threw me her keys. "Thanks, I'll be right back!" I said while I opened the door. "Okay, don't get stolen pretty girl" she said laughing and I winked at her as I shut the door and started to walk towards the elevator. I pushed the button and waited for it to open. It seemed to be taking forever so I turned on my phone and searched up the hotel we were staying at. Might as well figure out which 'celebrity' is here with us if there even is one. I pulled up twitter and typed in the hotel name. Search results were loading when all of the sudden the elevator door opened. I looked up and made eye contact with the answer I was looking for. Five British boys were standing in front of me with a security guard beside them, and my face immediately flushed. "Sorry, this elevator is filled." the security guard said while he was about to push a button and that snapped me back to reality. I didn't know what to say. "Oh...uh..erm.." was all that managed to come out of my mouth. "It's okay Mike, we've got room for one more. Hello love, fancy a ride to the lobby?" said Liam. BRITISH ACCENT.
I knew who they were. Everyone knew who they were. I took a deep breath but tried not to make it noticeable. "Uh...sure" I said, and smiled. I could feel myself blushing. I bet I looked like a tomato.
"Wakkkke upppp," Lia screamed in my ear, "We're leaving in like...oh my god, 15 minutes! The girls will be coming in 15 minutes to get us! Oh my god, where did the time go. Ok, get up, um get a shower, you can use my bathroom and I'll go use my brothers, and hurry!", she said, while throwing a towel at my face. Ouch.
