The yellow lines rushed past the window looking blurry as they quickly go by letting me know I'm getting closer to our destination. The radio blaring with my friend, Britney, singing along to some crazy band she fell in love with. We were on our way to school. Summer is over just too soon.
I turned away from the window looking at Britney trying her best to sing scream-O, only failing to make her throat sour.
"What are you starring at" Britney says with fake anger.
Coming up with a response I giggle and say,
"I'm looking at how you look more and more like your mother every day'. Brit makes a shocked face bringing out her blue eyes. Britney's resents her mother, Lilly. I don't think I ever recall Britney having a half ass descent conversation with her.
"You just wish you had my luscious straight brown hair. Instead of your long black curly hair." Britney responds flipping her hair.
Britney is the kind of girl who's pretty, smart, nice…Well at least as long as you don't piss her off. We've been best friend's sense 7th grade now were sophomores in high school. We both have changed over the summer. I let my hair grew out and got my first kiss with a boy named Sam on a vacation to Florida.(never kiss a boy after you both get done eating pizza!) Britney got rid of her braces and grew about 5 inches, now no one can call her munchkin.
"I'm just fine with my hair." I laugh and lightly punch her shoulder.
"I can't believe were sophomores!" Britney says glancing at me with excitement in her eyes." Just think about it all the senior boys asking us for our numbers, walking us to class, taking us on dates…
"Yeah and wanting to have sex." I chime in. Britney leads guys on. She flirts with them, and then ignores them. It's like she can't make up her mind she says it's her 'method' to getting guys to like her. One day it's all going to back fire. I try to tell her but she just laughs and says 'its high school. Live a little.'
"Not every guy is out for sex Shelby! Gosh you're so paranoid!"Britney says while turning into the high school parking lot. "Just have fun, relax, and actually get to know a guy before you automatically assume he is only after sex!"
I consider her words while hopping out of her rusted rabbit. Shutting the door I glance up toward the school another new year in hell. Britney skipped her way to the front of the rabbit waiting for me to catch up. Her hair is tumbling to her shoulders blending in with her brown aero postal shirt. I was never into American eagle, aero postal, and all those other stores..It's just something about shirts with the brand name across the front that makes me go, no!
"Come on slow poke I don't want to be 40 by the time we get to the door."Britney says with persistence in her voice.
"I'm coming gosh!" I say hurrying to walk beside her our shoulders knocking together as we walk. I was wearing my favorite blue sundress with black roses outline on the rims. I love sundresses they just feel free, and there comfortable.
"Look Shelby there's Sarah!" Britney says point at are former best friend. Sarah changed a lot over the summer to. I guess she realized we weren't worth her time and started hanging out with the pop-tarts.
"Look how short that skirt is." Britney scoffs. "If she bends over shell flash everyone in a 2 mile radius!" Brit says shaking her head and looking at me.
"What do you think happened between us?" I ask Britney referring to our relationship with Sarah.
"I don't know she just thought she was better than us and decided to make new friends. I really strongly believe she's just jealous of our awesome friendship!" Britney says glancing away to look at the lacrosse team.(like I said boy crazy!) I laugh out loud but on the inside I'm thinking maybe she's right could Sarah really be jealous?
"Come on". I say catching Britney's attention we don't want to be late for our first class because you're picking out your next boy toy!"I say with laughter in my voice.
"I'm not picking out my next toy" Britney says while looking at me winking. "they are just victims."
I laugh saying whatever. When we walked into our classroom I noticed a group of guys that I've never seen before. I nudge Britney pointing in their direction. Not believing what I see.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Britney gasp getting a good look at the most sexist boys we will ever meet. Suddenly high school doesn't seem like hell…well at least not for the second.
