"You have a call." El walks into my room, handing me the phone. I stopped pinning my dress, spitting out the pins from my mouth and took it from her.

"Hello?"

"Wendy?"

"Yeah?"

"Its Dustin." Oh my god! Its been forever!

"Oh hey Dusty Bun, whats up?" He sighs from the other line.

"Really? We didn't let it go?" He mumbles some stuff. "Quick question, you are coming back for spring break right?"

"Yeah...?" I sat down on my desk, crossed my arm.

"So, we are looking for a team player, d & d, you get a cool shirt, get to hang with me! Just for a little bit. What do you say? You in?" He waited for my response.

"Let me get this straight, i come back for my spring break, wasting my days off with a group of boys playing d&d, instead of being with my boyfriend?"

"Yes! Im so glad that you under-" he was cheering.

"No." He stops laughing.

"What!? Wendy! Why?!"

"I fell asleep when Will was trying to teach me, ill pass thanks. Plus Steve has some stuff planned out for this week, I'm sorry Dusty bun, but ill see you soon okay?" I hung up the phone and went back to my dress.

"Wendy!" Aunt Joyce calls me down. I dragged my suitcase down the steps, hitting my ankles and running back up as I forgot some other things. "Ready? You got your backpack? Passport?"

"Check." I showed her my things.

"What else do you need? Snacks? You know airport food is expensive. How about money? You got cash? I can give you some." She starts rumbling through her purse. I laughed and took her bag and set it down.

"Ill be fine aunt Joyce, ill call you when i get there. Ill be fine." I hugged her tightly. "Ill be home soon. I promise." Argyle, Jonathan, El and Will took me to the airport, dropping me off, and also picking up Mike.

"You sure you don't want one last hit before you go?" Argyle passes me the joint as the kids were heading in to get a seat.

"Hit me."

"Atta girl!" I took a long and big hit, coughing as i exhaled. We walked into the airport, ready to head to my seating area.

"Alright, you guys." I clapped my hands. "Please don't do anything stupid while im gone. Enjoy your break, show Mike the good places, and lastly, don't go in my room. I will kill you all." They nodded slowly. "Okay cool! Ill see you in a week!" I gave them a big hug. "I got you something." I whispered to Will. I hand him a small box. "Happy early birthday."
