Chapter One: Appointments
6 am blinked rapidly on the hello kitty alarm clock,adding to the flickering red lights a rising annoying sound arose from the kitty's whiskers that were the speakers.
"Ahh I hear you,shut up already" an arm emerged from under pink sheets and tried desperately to to silence the clock, finally seeing there was no fighting it Usagi threw the covers back and turned off her alarm clock.
She noticed that it was it was now blinking 6:15 and she only had an half hour to get ready for the day,she headed to the bathroom and grabbed her robe and proceeded to brush her teeth, her long blonde hair was wrapped in a bun secured by hairpins so that it would seep into the sink.
Finally graduation day, I never thought it would come, 4 years really went by fast she would really miss her friends and family' , Usagi stared aimlessly into the mirror lost in thought, noticing the time agin she hurriedly put on her sweats and tanktop, she hummed a song as she reached for her flip flops.
"Damn i have to call Rei", she remembered that she had to pick up Rei, they had an appointment at the nail salon and it was now 7:00 she was already late.
"I have to hurry or she's going to kill me", she whispered as she headed out the door.
It was a cloudy saturday morning, It was a bit cool so it's a good thonk she brought a sweater with her, she wondered to herself if it would be in Britian, would the mornings be as cloudy as this one.
She shook the thought off walked down the street in the direction of Reis house.
" Where is she , she should of been here 15 minutes ago, Im going to kill that klutz" the raven haired girl said a loud to nooone, she was too angry to think it to herself.
She pulled out her cell ready to call Usagi when she heard a familiar shriek outside, she looked out her window and sure enough she saw blonde hair splaying wildly around a petite girl.
"Usagi what took you so long, its only the most important day of our lives for the past 4 years and you know the nail salon is going to be packed", she half yelled half cried at her friend, hoping she would sense the importance of the day in her voice.
"Im sorry ,long story but since I'm here now there's no reason crying over spilled milk, well is there now" Usagi attempted to calm down Rei but could tell that there was no point.
"Well lets go" Rei said before running down the stairs and grabbing her friend and down the street they went off to the Juuban shopping plaza.
"Pedi and Mani appointment,Usagi said to the lady at the front desk, the women looked up in a feeble attempt to look awake.
"Is it ok that we are a littke late, kinda got stuck in traffic", Rei half lied because they walked there but tried to sound honest.
"Oh that's ok just wait over there and someone will be with you shortly", the lady showed them to the waiting area and the both girls both picked up a magazine as they made thier way to the chairs.
"Can you beleive it Usa, that we are finally leaving,nomore high school, now we're heading to the real world" Rei looked at her friend with excitement in her eyes
Usagi could tell she'd been waiting for this all her life. Rei always showed maturity pass her years ever since her parents died when she was young. Usagi guessed that life made her friend into a woman before time and the only thing that kept Rei back was society's rules and limitations on age.
"I know, now we can actually date college guys, get married even have babies!", the last word came out like a whisper, yet you could see the glow in Usagi's eyes.
" Is that all you can think about Usa, dating, marriage and babies, this is the time when we should enjoy our freedom while we are young, get most of what life has offer, we're gradutaing today and all you can do is think of babies, your incredible" Rei sighed.
'Usagi knew she was right but sheesh you can blame here for wanting to have a family one day' she was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of a women calling them up to get thier pedi's and so the day went, they had appoinments for hair and makeup, and as the day went on back home to get ready for the evenings celebration.
Graduation was bittersweet, Usagi cheered as her friends names were called to accept thier diplomas and listened to the principal address the graduating class of '07.
Yes it was bittersweet as much as she was happy to be leaving she was going to miss her friends greatly. Who would she call when she had problems and whose arms would she cry into when she felt life was unfair. Yet she couldnt deny the excitement of what going away had to offer.
Would the England be all she hoped it would be and what if it wasn't could she cope. Usagi pushed away those thoughts in her head and went to find her friends, she didn't need doubts right now , all she needed was the company of her loved ones and some yummy food in her tummy. Tomorrow she would face reality and with that she was out to enjoy the rest of the night. Carefree and hungry
