Chapter 1: Dude, Your Gonna Be Late
"Jessika, get up, your gonna be late for your interview!" Jessika slowly turned on her side. "Can't I just have a frigging day off for once" she said to herself. She threw back her pink duvet cover and pink polka dot sheets from her fave store, PB Teen. "You know, it was your idea to take this internship at FLIP magazine." It was Jessika's mom. " I know mom, you don't have to remind me about all the dumb decisions I make, okay?" Jessika had been eagerly awaiting this day all year long. FLIP magazine was the teen magazine. Everyone read it. Preps, Goths, surfer chicks, everyone read FLIP magazine. That's exactly why Jessika wanted to intern there over the summer. It was every teen girls dream job. And if you were an intern, people looked up to you. The right people. I mean, it could get you somewhere. And Jessika was the type of person who wanted to get noticed. Anyway, anyhow.
"Ugh, why did I have to want this job so bad? I mean I want it but I didn't exactly want to have to get up at the crack of dawn for an interview, you know?" Jessika said dully. Jessika pulled herself into her best friend Dina's silver Toyota Yaris. " Yeah I understand, I would kill to have that interview though!" Dina said. "I wish you could take it! But I'm already here and it would probably kill me inside later if I pass up this once in a lifetime chance! Plus maybe, just maybe, I'll meet a really cute guy, I mean not that we'll have as good of a relationship as you and Joshua, but maybe we'll come close."
" God Jessi you haven't even met anyone yet and your already comparing your relationship to mine and Josh's!" Dina said, already knowing where this conversation was going.
" I know De, but you and Josh really love each other, I mean you've been dating over a year and a half and you're probably going to get married and…"
Dina interrupted, " Look Jess, I'm only seventeen and I really don't want to rush into anything here!"
" I know, but he's nineteen and he'll probably be ready for a family soon right?"
" I dunno, I mean I hope not because I mean, I love him and all, but that's just a little too far for me!"
"But I mean what if…." Jessika said, nagging.
Dina interrupted again. " Would you mind if we get goin' now? We're gonna be late for your interview!"
"Fine, let's role"
"What time was your appointment anyway?"
"Eight o clock"
"Well it's eight o clock now!"
"Oh crap, I'm gonna be late, it's like ten minutes away from here!"
"Well what do we do?" Dina asked.
" Pedal to the metal girl. Go!"
