whether any kids in new jersey knew it or not.
summer was fading faster than i spilt ice cream cone on the hott pavement.
it was september third.
and that meant,only two more days of summer vacation.
only two more days of sleeping until the late afternoon.
only two more days of staying out all night.
only two more days of...summer!
with this thought running through my head,i glanced over at my alarm clock.
"five in the afternoon....not bad" i said to myself as i rolled out of bed.
i had black curtains on every window in my room.
the sun failed horribly as it tried to peek through.
i sluggishly made my way into the shower with hopes of waking up a bit more.
tonight was my big night.
the big 'end of summer bash' at my house
it started in two hours and i still looked like a complete and utter slob.
as the warm water trickled down my body i closed my eyes in hopes that tonight would go over as well as i'd planned.
my parents were out of town on business until early monday morning.
so me and my friends thought it would be rad to throw a party.
as i got out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror.
i openly asked myself "shannon,what have you gotten yourself into?"
as i continued to get ready,every minute that passed,i thought of a new reason to call off this dumb shindig.
but it was too late.
by the time i got finished straightening my jet black,a little past shoulder length hair and applying my make-up.
the doorbell rang.
my best friends kate,and jen arrived an hour early to help me pick out clothes to wear.
because,i'm apparently incapable of doing it myself.
as they rummaged through my closet,all i seen was clothes flying all over my room.
at first i ran around attempting to pick them after about the 15th shirt.
i gave up,it was no use.
my room looked like a tornado hit it.
they finally came to terms with a black and white polka dotted tank-top,a pair of ripped blue a pair of plain black slip on vans.
finally it was seven o'clock.
and we turned on the music.
then,if on cue and my house began to flood with people.
mostly familiar faces.
but a few i had never seen before.
this was terrible.
what was i thinking!?!?
