PHOEBE GREY

Chapter 68

(Phoebe's POV)

Summer is winding down now. I can't believe we are going to be seniors. How freaking weird is that? I know this year is going to be amazing so I am excited.
Teddy came home last week after Nathan's birthday so that was nice too. He loved Colorado and wants us to go back there. We have a house in Aspen that Dad now wants to go to for Christmas break this year.

Right now I am out with Ava back to school shopping. We also had to get dressed for the Gala tomorrow night. We have been at it for 4 hours now and are winding down at our last store. Nathan and Tyler are at a basketball camp until tomorrow. So we have been hanging out.
"Oh, my gosh how cute is this sweater?" Ava says as she comes out of her dressing room. It is a grey and crosses in the front.
"Super cute, I am going to check out okay," I only got two things from this store.

As soon as I am finished checking out, Ava comes behind me and starts checking out too. We walk out of the store together and towards my car. Sawyer is closely following us.

When we walk outside there is a paparazzi taking pictures. As usual, we just keep our heads down and quickly walk to the car.

"Phoebe, look here, Ava here baby," he's yelling at us.

Finally, we make it to the car and quickly drive off. Occasionally a pap will follow us or try to sneak pictures of us. It'll end up in some sleazy tabloid and my aunt will have to hunt them down to delete it.

"Ugh Fucking paparazzi are disgusting," she says rolling her eyes.

"I know," I agree.

"So are you ready for school to start back up?" She asks.

"No but yes, I am not ready for the stress of picking a college and homework, but I am ready to be done with this chapter of my life," I explain. Ava nods.

"I heard your man is going to visit Princeton?" Ava says.

"Yeah… for basketball and law school," I fake a smile.

"Phoebe I can read you like a book, you are not happy about it," I smile at her. She is so much like her mom.

"I am happy for him I just wish it was a little closer so to here," I shrug.

"Yeah I understand, luckily Tyler has only gotten offers from schools close to here," she says.
"Lucky bitch," I smirk and she laughs.

"You and your mom are coming with us tomorrow to the salon for the gala right?" She asks.
"Yeah, I have no clue what I want to do with my hair," I say. My dress an emerald green with a crossed back. Ava's is a dark grey with slit sleeves.

"I think you should do a pin straight look. It'll be sexy and simple," Ava says.

"Good idea, what are you doing tonight?" I ask her.

"I don't know yet… wanna do something?" She asks.

"I am babysitting, unfortunately," I tell her. She rolls her eyes and huffs. I laugh.

"I'm sorry you'll see me tomorrow though," I tell her. We pull up to her house.

"Okay, little cuz I will see you tomorrow, love you," She says and gets out of the car.

Sawyer drives me home and helps me bring all my bags in. I take them upstairs and start putting my clothes away.

"Phoebe?" I hear Gail call.
"Yeah, I'm in my closet one second," I hang the last shirt and run out to see Gail.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Your father wants to see you in his office," she smiles. Shit, what did I do? I mentally go through all the things I've done in the past week.
