The first flowers of Spring
Every spring, the five friends went to their favourite diner in New York. It had always been a tradition, right from when the girls were young. Lena was always first to arrive, ordering them all their favourite 'shakes. Strawberry was Carmen and Bridget's favourite, which they always loved with a fruitilicious berry split. Tibby always claimed she was on a diet, but a chocolate milkshake never failed to pass her lips and slipped effortlessly down her throat leaving a creamy taste in her mouth that always lasted for hours. Lena and Hannah were the two banana milk shake lovers of the group with the 'shakes being served at their favourite diner the creamiest they had ever tasted. The five girls sat in their favourite window seat looking out onto the street before them. None of them could have guessed how the events of the following year would turn out . While the girls sat in their blissful ignorance, the times that were about to befall them were unknown to each and every one. All five would have many different experiences over the next year that would threaten their friendship but ultimately make them stronger. They were 16, and about to embark on a journey that would change their futures forever.
