Chapter One – Prologue Part One
Wind whipped her hair across her face. The Hair; the famous blonde hair. It had received more wolf whistles than she herself had – it was legendary. She fumbled with the pin in her hand, after one year, she – and the lock – were rustier than they were the previous year. She pressed on, her mind telling her to keep trying. Until…
Click! She watched Bridget expertly pick the lock. Something already seemed off – the lock took longer to pick than usual. She pushed that towards the back of her mind; more focused on the package in her hands. She knew that tonight would be different – Something had changed between them, and she was sure that they could all feel it.
Patience was a virtue she had never obtained – it had always been there. She knew that behind her Carmen was probably going absolutely crazy; but she didn't feel like turning around and smiling at her as she had done every year before. It was a strange feeling to not want to do something for a friend, but she found her mind wandering to other things than the juvenile act of breaking into an old gym, and the adrenaline rush seemed to have disappeared. This was never a good sign for someone as level headed as her to think like this.
As usual, she stood defiantly behind all the others; looking out for them all as she had always done. Usually it came as a second nature, and she loved every second of looking out for her best friends. Tonight, as she watched the moonlight reflect on all her friends almost bored faces, she wondered what had happened to herself, and to her other friends. Sure, they were all changed, but weren't friendships as strong as theirs supposed to be forever?
It had been quite a year for all of them – An entire year apart, followed by their up-coming summer together. At first, everything was perfect – phone calls were more regular than breathing; visits were whenever they had a free chance, and emails were almost nightly. Suddenly, college seemed to overtake them. Calls became less frequent and more heard on answer machines than conversations face to face; proposed visits were cancelled because of 'assignments' and emails were at most once a month. Before Tibby, Bridget, Lena and Carmen had realized, their friendship had already begun falling apart.
Sorry its so short. Pls read p/2 of prologue. I thought of putting them together but it kinda didn't fit.
