This is my original story: PLEASE review, i would love to hear what you think!
Tammy
If someone had asked me ten months ago what I would be doing this summer, I never would have imagined this. And if they had told me who I'd be spending my days with, talking together, laughing together, crying together, I never would have believed them.
Bethany, Marissa, Kendra, Kira, and Tammy. We smiled as we passed in the corridor, made small talk in the common room and built a model DNA strand together in Year 12 Bio, but that was about it. We had our own friends, our own classes, our own niche in the complicated jigsaw that is high school.
It all started with talk about what we would do in the summer holidays, after we'd finished high school for good. We began to talk about a 'road trip' and how fun that would be. I had thought it would have been a cool thing to do with Abbey and Donna, if Abbey wasn't going to Australia and Donna wasn't spending time with her cousins who were 'too cool' for me. We were just joking about, we never really meant it. Until Kendra asked if we wanted to do it.
"Should we?" she said. I bit back a sarcastic reply on seeing how serious she actually was.
"We don't really know each other." I said. There were murmurs of agreement all around.
"It would be such a fun way to spend the summer, and it's not like I have anything better to do." Said Bethany.
"We know each other well enough." Marissa added. "And it's a chance to get to know each other better."
"I need an adventure before I go off to uni." What was I saying? Was I agreeing to go on an 'adventure' with four girls I barely knew? This conversation was awkward enough; I could just imagine us sitting together in uncomfortable silence all day. We had nothing in common but this 'road trip' idea.
"We should do it." Kira repeated. We should: such a common phrase with such empty meaning. 'We should hang out some time' 'I should finish my homework' 'You should dye your hair green!'
"We should." How I hate that phrase now.
"We will." I said, surprising myself. "I mean it. We will."
