Exams were around the corner.

Meaning Prom, Exams then graduation.

I had spent every night with my head in the books. Sometimes Olive would come over or we'd go by the cafe and study or the girls.

Sometimes Alec and I would question each other to make sure we were making progress in out studying.

I had sold my corvette not too long ago. My parents said after graduation they'd buy me a new car.

Because it was coming so speed, Our group and I decided that we'd have a little road trip/camping before exams.

With much required begging from both Alec and I we got through to them.

I didn't know if I told you guys but I want to be a professional dancer.

Dancing is my life and lately I've found lately that i have this pull towards dancing. I  was always that one kid who never knew what she wanted to be when she got older, but lately i've put a lot of thinking into it, and yes, I want to be a dancer.

I've spoken to my parents, and I sent in my application to Julliard and now, i'm hoping for the best.

"Mom, do you know where I put that long sleeve knitted top aunt Liv gave me for Christmas." I asked my mother as I packed my suitcase for the road trip.

"Yeah, I think I saw Cara with it." She said as she helped me fold my clothes.

I groaned as i thought of the stubborn thing i had for a sister.

I marched out of my bedroom and straight in hers pushing her door open just to startle her, she turned to me with a horrified expression as did i mirror her, she was using moms make and was applying it unto her face in the best way she could...very messed up.

"M-" I was about to shout but she stopped me 

"Please, no wait!" She cried running up to me and locking her door.

"Cara, what are you doing, you're eleven years old you shouldn't be using make up, mom and dad will kill you." I said angrily in a hushed voice.

"I know- I just-" Then she started crying.

I watched her as if she had grown a second head the it dawned on me.

Something was bothering my baby sister.

I moved over to her pulling her unto her bed.

"What's wrong cary." I asked her as i hugged her in my arms.

She whimpered for a while before looking up at me "I'm sorry, i was just trying to look as pretty as you and mom and Jody and Ronnie!" She cried.

My heart sank at her confession.

"You are pretty sweetie-You're beautiful." I said to her.

"No i'm not- i'm if then why does Alec not like me back?"

Oh sweet Jesus, please intervene.

How could I comfort my sister when i myself was crushing on the boy next door as well.

"Sweetie, you don't need make up to make a boy like you- you shouldn't need it because if he really like you, he'd like you for you, your personality." i SAID TO HER.

I picked up some wipes and began wiping it off her big brown watery eyes stared up at me.

"But he still doesn't like me even if!" She cried.

I sighed and took a deep breath

How do i explain this.

"Cara...Alec..is a big boy, sweetie you're a bit too young for him." I explained.

"Well you said makeup shouldn't make a boy like me, so it should be the same with age. Age is just a number." She argued.

Damn you for taking Dad's stubbornness Cara.

"Yes it is but-Okay, see it like this, would you ever date Elliot?" I asked her smirking.

I watched as her face wrenched up.

"What, Ew,No!" She cried as i finished cleaning her face.

"Why not?" I smirked.

"Because he's six! he's like my little brother.!" She cried.

I smirked.

Ah, Riley you're good at this you should do it often.

Oh I know.

"Exactly! Know you and Elliot or just five years apart, what do you think it feels like for  Alec. You guys are seven years apart. Plus he can go to jail.Do you want alec to go to jail?" I asked her.

She frowned and looked down.

She understood.

"No." She mumbled

I smiled "There, Now you see." 

I picked her chin in my hands so she could face me.

"You are beautiful. And if a boy is too blind to see that? then screw him. You should never think that you're not pretty enough. You're beautiful Cara, always remember that." I said.

She smiled at me "I love you Riley.

I grinned at her before wrapping her up in a hug.

"Love you too Cara."
