I rushed around my bedroom packing my suitcase. I was throwing everything possible into that bag. I heard a car horn beep outside and I sat on my bag to try and shut it. Eventually, I got the zippers all the way done up and grabbed my purse, threw on my thongs and sprinted for the front door. I was greeted by my two best friends, standing outside the car. I squashed my bag into the boot, slammed it shut and got into the back seat.
Today, we were heading over to Sydney airport to fly over to Los Angeles to celebrate us leaving school forever. We were staying for three weeks. Our parents finally agreed to let us go after a lot of coaxing and begging, and here we were. About to start our well deserved holiday.
On the plane I sat on the window side, while Allie sat in the middle and Eleanor sat on the aisle. We chatted about how excited we were and what we would be doing. Before we knew it, we'd landed in LA.
When we arrived at the airport we picked up our luggage from the carousel and walked outside.
"Smell that air!" Eleanor said, inhaling deeply.
"It's so warm!" I said.
It was summer in the USA. I packed a lot of dresses and shorts for this trip. I even wore shorts to the airport and got a few dirty looks from the employees.
We got into a taxi and checked into our hotel. When we arrived, we chose our rooms and met up again in the lounge room.
"Why don't we go check out a club tonight?" Eleanor said. "I heard of a pretty good one here!"
"I'm up for it." I said.
Eleanor and I looked at Allie.
"Well, it's two against one so it looks like my answer is yes!" Allie said.
We opened up a bottle of wine and had a glass each before getting ready to go out.
I threw on a romantic red dress. It was strapless and fell just above my knee caps. I had my black wedge heels and a black clutch hand bag. I curled my hair and finished up my make-up. I met the girls in the lounge room. Eleanor's blonde hair was also curled and she wore an aqua dress and silver shoes. Allie's dark hair was dead straight and she wore a blue dress. I could tell Allie and Eleanor each did each other's make up because as usual, it looked so much better than my simple eyeliner, light eye shadow and minimal lip gloss combo. I smiled at my best friends. We all scrubbed up good.
We headed out the door and to the club Eleanor suggested. It was a nice club. It looked clean and decent. It was a little packed but we managed to get a small table. Allie offered to pay for our first round of drinks. Eleanor and I sat at our table, laughing at the drunken people trying to hit on chicks and dance.
"Look at that guy." Eleanor said, pointing at the one in the green shirt, jeans and black jacket.
He was dancing like an idiot. His arms were flailing everywhere and a small circle encased him. Claps began to fill the room as people cheered him on. I smiled at this idiot. As I sipped the drink Allie returned with, I continued to watch him. He looked like he knew how to have fun.
