Erica Smith is one of four Smith kids. The most well known would be her older brother, Michael Conor. When Michael gets the opportunity to be on ABC's Boy Band, who knows what will happen. Being apart from Michael has been really hard on Erica, but...
I was just looking through social media to escape the world for a minute. I even found a fanpage for me! That's absolutely crazy! Of course, I immediately followed them back, and soon after, the fan had posted a screenshot thanking me for the follow. That made me so happy. I continued to look through my feed and tagged photos, liking them along the way. But, my Instagram scrolling was interrupted by a text.
Jay: Hey Erica: You're not tired of me by now?? Jay: I could never get tired of you Erica: Wow smooth Jay Jay: You know it 😉 Erica: 😂😂What's up? Jay: Nothing. I've got rehearsals in an hour but that's it. Erica: I know I already said it, but I had fun this morning 😊 Jay: I'm glad you did. Worried you'd get bored of me. Erica: Why would I ever get bored of you??? You're one of the most interesting people i've ever met 😂 Jay: Interesting? 🤔 Erica: In the best way possible, I promise Jay: haha alright Erica: It's crazy, I found a fanpage of ME on Instagram! Jay: It's your first fanpage? Erica: Well, yeah. I didn't think i'd ever get even one in the first place 😂 Jay: Of course you would. I mean, Molly has fanpages too Erica: Molly is super cool, tho Jay: So are you Erica: Thanks 😂
The conversation ended shortly, due to Jay having to get ready to leave for rehearsals. Michael should be getting back soon. I was really excited for his performance this week. His group was consisted of him, Brady, Andrew Bloom, and Jaden. They were scheduled to sing "Since You've Been Gone," by Kelly Clarkson.
I was also really excited to see Jay perform, too. He was singing "Jealous," by Nick Jonas. And he was with Mikey, Sergio, and Marcus. I knew they would do amazing. All of them would.
But there was one thing I wasn't looking forward too; the double elimination. I always dreaded these, and I was so sad that there would be another double elimination right when they just had one last week.
Michael knocked on the door, so I got up to open it. I asked him how rehearsals went and he said they went well. But it seemed like he wanted to talk about something else and was rushing our conversation.
"How was your date with Jay?" he asked.
"You knew about that?" I questioned. "And it wasn't a date... I think."
"Of course I knew," Michael said. "Jay asked me for permission."
"Oh..." I said. Why would Jay need permission to hang out with me?
"He asked me if he could take you out on a date."
Was that really a date? I thought to myself. He did compliment me throughout the time we spent together, but I thought he was just being friendly and trying to make conversation.
My phone buzzed.
Kaitlyn: We are going to the beach today. Want to come? Erica: We? Kaitlyn: Me, Mom, Patrick, Brendan, Dad Erica: What about Michael? Kaitlyn: I already asked him. He has more rehearsals later and choreography to learn.
"You have more rehearsals later?" I asked Michael.
"Yup, the grind never ends."
Erica: Sure, when are we leaving? Kaitlyn: 5 mins Erica: Gee, thanks for the heads up Kaitlyn: You're welcome. Now go get ready! Erica: 🙄
I quickly grabbed my suitcase, threw it open, and started searching for a swim suit to put on under my outfit. At a time like this, I was glad my parents had always taught me to pack some swim suits whenever we went somewhere just in case.
I put on a black and white polka dotted bikini and wore the same clothes as I was earlier. I liked dressing casual, so I just wore a plain tee shirt with some jean shorts.
I knew we would end up taking pictures, so I put on some waterproof mascara. Luckily, I only needed to do those two things before I was ready and out the door meeting the rest of my family. Michael said bye to me and told me to have fun as I left.
We went to Santa Monica, hung out by the pier and the beach. It was amazing. I loved it here. And, I guessed correctly; we did take some photos. But I was glad we did, because I've been needing a new photo to post on Instagram.
The day went by quickly, my mom said it was because we had so much fun. Getting back to the hotel was bittersweet. I loved being in Santa Monica, but I was also super tired and looking forward to relaxing.
After a shower and changing into some pajamas, I looked through the photos from today and chose my favorite one to post.
