Excerpt
I awoke to the sun beaming brightly through the shades at my window, making my bedroom shine brilliantly. As I looked through the window and saw what a beautiful day it would be, I was overwhelmed at the thought of my trip; today was the day my friend Cassi and I were leaving for Chicago and Indiana Beach alone--no parents, no rules, and no restrictions. The wonderful thought of absolute freedom for at least a few days was beyond ordinary excitement. I floated downstairs and found a delicious breakfast awaiting me. I could see that my parents were nervous because this would be the first time I was completely on my own, but I could also see that they shared my enthusiasm.
