a royal crime (Haylen, anyone)

Erin sighed, "Why is being a girl so hard?"

I giggled a little when she said that.
"You know, Lilyana asked me the exact same question. Want to know what I told her?"

Erin looked at Haylen, "What?" she asked

"It's hard because it gets you brownie points from the boys." I replied, knowing that she probably was going to ask how.

Erin nodded, "How?" she asked

"Well... mostly if you tell boys what a girl has to go through all the time, they don't want to be at your place." I said, choosing different words this time.

Erin nodded, not fully knowing what Haylen was talking about, but she would find out soon

I smiled a little, knowing she would understand that when time came.

Erin sighed, then stood up and walked back to the bed she would be using

I watched her and then looked at Shannon and Thomas.

Thomas and Shannon looked at Haylen, then walked over to her, "You did a good job in talking to her." Shannon said

"Thank you." I said, blushing a little.

"Your welcome" Thomas and Shannon replied

the next day.....

I was up early, quietly got up, showered and then went back to the room I stayed in, standing by the window, looking out. It wasn't as busy as New York.

Thomas and his family were still asleep

I had my door open a crack to hear when someone would get up as well.

it was Sara, she got up from her bed and walked to the bath room

I smiled a bit hearing her, but stayed where I was for now. It was still early.

Sara showed, then walked back out and got dressed
