Upper East Side-Intro.

Well I've been thinking a lot lately about this trip to Manhattan and so have my parents. My Dad is basically alright with the entire thing now and my mom is more excited than ever. They'll probably make my room a scrap booking room or something like that. I'll probably miss them a bit, but it'll be nice to change my scene up a bit. I'm sick of the arguing really. They haven't been arguing lately actually. Which is nice.
I was talking to my dad and he said that I'll be staying with the Bass Family. I've actually heard of them. They own the Palace Hotel in Manhattan. They must be rich. I don't know if they have any kids or not and my mom won't tell me. I hope so, I don't want to live with just adults like here. I wanted a change remember.
I called my friend to come over. He said 5 minutes, it's been 20. I don't think he's realized I'm leaving in 2 days. Known me since grade 3 and he doesn't even care. Oh there's the door. I shouldn't answer, show him how it feels. Oh eff it, I'll get the door.
"Riley who is it?" Mom is nosy. She really is.
"It's Matt if you must know." If she makes that kissy face when he walks in the house, I'll slap her.
"Just come in Matt." He should know he's allowed by now, "I'm getting snacks." Matt isn't really ugly, he's actually pretty hot. He's just not my type. I like blond haired, blue-eyed guys. Not brown haired, green-eyed guys. I'm picky. Probably why I'm still single. Oh well. He's a nice kid, funny too.
"Hey Riley, sorry I'm late. I got totally side tracked." He's always late. I don't mind really.
"Whatever it's ok, you're always late." I gave his chest a little slap. He's been working out for sure, "You been working out Matty?"
"Of course I have. I'm not having any of those oreos either. I'm not getting fat, not again." I remember when he was fat. In grade 4. He got teased a lot. That's when we got close. I've always been sort of popular. Always one of the guys, never with one. Oh well. I say oh well alot.
"Well that means I get more oreos doesn't it." Mmm oreos.
"Well I don't want you to get a big ass." He just squeezed my ass! Oh my god! Of course I turned around quickly and now he's pulling me into him.
"Matty what are you doing?" Where should I put my hands?
"This." Then he kissed me. I can't believe this. I've waited 8 years for this moment. He's such a good kisser. His lips are so soft. His hands running up my back. His kiss goes from hard to soft. His teeth tugging at my lip. Oh my gosh, I think I'm dreaming.
"Matty I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too Riley. Maybe I could come up every now then to see you."
"I'd like that Matty."

Then we kissed for awhile. Went back up to my room and watched Never Back Down and pretended we were fighting. Like any soon to be couple would.
Dinner was hard tonight. That will have been the last time I'll ever see Matty and one of my last dinners with my family. We had frozen pizza. I LOVE frozen pizza. Probably the last time I'll have that for awhile too.
Halfway through dinner The Bass Family called. They want me up there sooner. Tomorrow I leave. Wow... Thanks for the warning. I leave here at 8 in the morning tomorrow. They need me to be there sooner because they're leaving the day I was supposed to go for Barbados for two weeks. GREAT. I'm going to be in a new city by myself for 2 weeks. I'm going to be living with some guy named Chuck. I'm hoping that that is their son. I think I should call them. No I should call Matty.
