Ch.1 Final Goodbyes

I listened as the bell over head rang, and tried to drown out the cheers of others. Two words flowed through in my head, summer...freedom. I got up a smile on my face and looked around the classroom for a final time. I sighed, content that there was no more work to be done and walked out the door. My friends Jane, Katie, Corinne, Patience, and Jakayla were waiting for me.

Since we were seniors and today was our last day of school until college we are going to go on our long planned road trip for the summer. We didn't plan on leaving tonight though, we only planned on spending it at Jane's. We were going to spend it with our families, but at the last minute our decision was changed due to some difficulties.

"Hey guys." I said as I spotted them. Jane gave me a hug, Katie gave me a three-fingered wave, Corinne hugged me, Patience hugged me, and Jakayla waved. "Aren't you glad it's finally over." Katie asked. "Actually no, I'm going to miss everyone to much." "I bet she'll just miss Brian." Katie and Jane teased. Corinne flushed and managed to get out, "No, I invited him last night to join us. Sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier." We all stared at her like she'd grown a second head. I mean this is Corinne we're talking about, she's to shy to do that.

"When?" I managed to say. "Last night." Corinne said without missing a beat. It took me a moment but then I realized something. She said last night which would only mean... "You two went on a date?" Jane beat me to it. She nodded while blushing. "Aww." We all said and gave her a hug except for Katie who has this no touching rule except for some exceptions. Jakayla spoke up then and said, "What were you two doing in that closet last night?" Corinne playfully glared at her. "Get it, Corinne." I said, speaking up. Everyone laughed except Corinne who was to busy blushing. "Come on, let's get going." Patience said, speaking up for the first time. Everyone agreed and we got into Jane's black mustang after putting everything in the trunk and drove off.

Next day:

I woke early the next morning when Corinne rolled over and her arm hit me in the face. I shoved her off me and she sat up startled. "Huh, wha..." She noticed me and said, "Sorry." "Uh-huh." I murmured getting up. I went over to everyone, one at a time and woke them up.

Katie and Jane were the hardest to wake up. Katie kept trying to go back to sleep and Jane threatened me. I went into the other room and came back with an ice cold bucket of water and poured it on their heads. "Aaah." They screamed, and by now everyone was up and laughing at the scene going on. One glare from each of them and everyone was quiet.

"Well, I told you to get up." I joked. Jane got up and walked up to me and said in a too innocent tone. "Let me give you a hug, Diana." "Oh no, not this time." Jane chased me around the house before I managed to lock myself in her room. During this time Katie had snuck off to the bathroom and I could hear the water from the shower start. The pounding on the door immediately ceased. I knew Jane had gone off to yell at Katie.

Five seconds later you could hear,
"Katie get out of there, I'm freezing." "No." Katie yelled back.

By now I had walked out of Jane's room and into the hallway to watch the scene.

This kept going on for about another ten minutes until Katie walked out fully dressed with dripping wet hair and in one hand the hairdryer and in the other a comb and hairbrush. She did not look to happy. I watched as she shoved past Jane and walked to Jane's room. 'Whoops' I thought to myself. 'I got them mad at each other.'

What felt like hours later we were all outside waiting for the others. Jane was wearing her red tank top with the cherries, her trench coat draped over it. She was wearing her combat boots. Her long dark brown hair flowing in the wind. Katie was standing next to her with her love hurt shirt on wearing her boyfriends rainbow jacket over it. Her dark brown with red highlights shoulder length hair was tied up for once. On her other side was Patience in her cheese and blue shirt. Her brown shoulder length hair also put up. Then coming out of the house was Jakayla in her guitar t-shirt and her black hair in a ponytail. Followed by Corinne in her blue t-shirt with white undershirt. Her short blonde hair down. Then there was me in my black tuxedo shirt that said MSI Suxs, my pink tie on and my brown hair was in pigtails.

Everyone was waiting for their boyfriends except me, because unfortunately I was single. Just then a red jaguar, blue convertible, silver Volvo, and green mustang pulled in. Rex, Jane's boyfriend got out of the red jaguar that belong to Christian, Katie's Boyfriend, and then Christian got out. Joseph, Jakayla's boyfriend, got out of the convertible and Brian, Corinne's new boyfriend, got out of the Volvo. Then Trevor, Patience's boyfriend, got out of the green mustang.

I watched as all my friends ran to their boyfriends and sighed in envy. I was glad we were going on this trip so I could put these ideas out of my head and hopefully meet a guy of my own.

"Hey, Diana." Patience said, breaking my thoughts. "Yeah?" "Ready to go?" I looked around and noticed everyone had there things in the right car and were waiting on me. 'How long was I thinking' I nodded to her and went to get in the same car as Jane.

I sat back in peace as we drove along and tuned everything out except for them music. I smiled as the breeze blew my hair back. This was going to be a great trip. No matter what happens. 'I can't wait to get there.' I thought right before I fell into a dreamless sleep.
