::Chapter 2: Plans::
"So, you have any plans for the summer?"
Adriane lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag before she shifted her gaze to her closest friend, Jen. "Yeah. Mom says we're visiting Stonehill for a few weeks." About a year after her two friend friends, Emily and Kara, moved away and her grandmother had passed, she decided to settle in her parents small apartment/art studio (A/N: I can't remember. . . were her parents artists or photographers? Anyway, it doesn't matter much. . .) in New York.
Jen rolled her eyes. "Sounds like fun," she remarked sarcastically. "Hey, hand me that."
Adriane handed her friend the cigarette.
"We gotta be careful with these things, you know," Jen said, staring at stick before sucking in a deep breath. "Drew got caught behind the bleachers the last week of school. I heard they sent him off to some boot camp in the middle of nowhere." She tossed it on the floor, grinding on it with her foot. "Why you going back to Stonehill anyway? You have no living relatives there, and you told me the people there sucked."
Adriane shrugged, playing with a strand of her long, dark hair. "Mom wants to visit the preserve Gran left behind. I mean, technically we still own it. We just left it with the town to look after it."
"What do they have there, anyway?" her friend asked, slowly raking her fingers through her straight red hair.
Pictures of sparkling glades, magical creatures and a certain talking ferret flashed through Adriane's mind. "Nothing."
Jen sighed. "This place is gonna suck without you. When are you leaving, anyway?"
"Probably this weekend. Have fun without me."
A/N: lol. . . not what you thought our beloved Adriane grew up to be? Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!! I'll try to post the next chapter in a few days.
