Hailey has come to the conclusion that it is her duty to go to Mr. President, and straighten him out. I know Washington D.C. can be super-duper exciting, but my mind is on other things. It's amazing how quickly Hailey has forgotton why we're here in the first place.
I hope Nanny McFiggins hasn't somehow tracked us here. She has a way of doing stuff like that.
While wandering the busy streets of Washington D.C., looking for inspiration, Hailey and I ran into a young, freckled boy about Hailey's age.
"Hey! Are you two girls Hailey and Carter Dachmen?" he asked somewhat excitedly.
"It's pronounced Dash-men, not Dak-men. And yes, how did you know that?" I questioned suspiciously.
"You're on the news," he stated casually.
"Are you sure you're not trying to kidnap us?" I asked. Hailey didn't feel like participating in this conversation. I think she likes the kid.
"Positive. As long as you don't consider inviting you over for dinner kidnapping you. What do you say?"
"Why should we go with you?"
"I want to help."
"We've already heard that one."
"Please?"
"We don't even know your name!"
"Blake. Now will you come?"
After a bit of hesitation and staring into Hailey's puppy-dog eyes,"Sure. Thank you for inviting us."
Hailey and I soon found ourselves in the White House. Don't get all excited, though. Blake isn't the president's son...he's the son of the Secretary of State. Good thing, because if he were the president's son, this post would become extremely cliche.
I know Hailey probably doesn't seem like the type, but I think she really likes Blake. He's smart, funny, cute, athletic, and nice. I keep reminding her not to drool. She can't go on a date, even. We have rules about dating in our house...scratch that, family. You can group date when 16, double-date when 17, and actually date when you're 18. Hailey still has a while to go.
Sorry, I have to get off. Blake heard about a new Broadway musical that sounds like it has Alex in it. I seriously doubt it. However, I should just be grateful for the kindness Blake is showing Hailey and me.
Hope to be reunited next time I post!
Yours Truly,
Carter
