Chapter Sixteen: Time Flies When You Don't Want It To
High School years just flew by between Squid and Brianna. Brianna was now a Senior in High School getting ready to graduate. Squid graduated last year and was accepted into New York University (i have no clue wether they have marine biology as a major so work with me here!). Brianna became the valadictorian in her class. She was also accepted into New Orleans University, just like she wanted. Her friends were all staying and going to the local college because they didn't want to leave like Brianna and Squid.
* Graduation *
Brianna was wearing a black robe with a graduation hat (i forgot what they're called) on her head. Squid was never so proud of her in his entire time of knowing her. He listen to her intently as she gave her valadictorian speech. Her friends were all crying because they knew this triggered the last summer they would have together. Squid was crying on the inside because it triggered the last summer him and Brianna would be together. When she finished giving her speech she was handed her diploma and she left the platform. Soon every person who graduated in Brianna class was handed their diplomas and they did the tradition ht throw.
"Hey Bri," said Squid coming up behind her and kissing her neck.
"Hey Alan," she replied laughing.
"You were great up there!"
"I was a nervous wreck."
"You were not!"
"Yes I was!"
"Were not."
"Could you two act like adults, please?" muttered Shaily, who was wearing the same outfit as Brianna. Zig Zag came up behind Shaily and placed his hands on her shoulder.
"And someone needs to learn to mind their own business," he said in her ear. Brianna and Squid laughed as Shaily turned red.
"So Brianna are you going to NOU?" asked Michelle. Brianna nodded. "Aw! an this is really going to suck when you leave!" Everyone nodded even Brianna. She mated leaving her friends here but she wanted to do something with her life. She wanted to become a lawyer wether they liked it or not.
"Wow," Susan said with Magnet beside her. "I can't believe how fast the years went." Brianna agreed. It seemed like yesterday she was only seventeen. Brianna was now ninteen going on twenty. Squid was already twenty.
"HEY BRI! C'MERE! I GOTTA TALK TO YA!" shouted Sherri. Brianna nodded and walked over to SHerri. Sherri nodded at Shaily.
"I thought she'd never leave!" Shaily exclaimed. Everyone nodded. They were all planning a going away party for Brianna. They all wanted to say goodbye to Brianna and have fun while doing it. THey started going over who did what, who brought what, and who cooked what. Shaily was the most decorative out of the group so she runned the whole plan. "Ok, does everyone know what they're going to do?" she asked them. Everyone nodded. "Good!"
* Two Weeks Later *
"Hey Bri! I, uh, gotta go to the mall! Ya gotta come with me to uhm, shop! That's it! It'll only take AN HOUR!" shouted Susan pushing Brianna into her car and driving off. The group left behind were getting Brianna's Going Away Party ready.
"C'mon guys! We've only got an hour to get this thing ready!" Shaily shouted. She was getting everyone in order and getting the decorations up. Michelle and Sherri were working on the cake and making a mess in the kitchen. Zig Zag and Squid were moving the tables around outside in the back yard. X-Ray and Magnet were out buying the food. Twitch was hooking up the stereo system and the party lights in the back yard.
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Sherri from the kitchen.
"What the hell is going' on in there?!" said Squid looking completely lost.
"I don't think I wanna know," Zig replied.
"YOU TWO IDIOTS! HOW COULD YOU! YOU PRACTICALLY BLEW UP THE DAMN KITCHEN!!" Shaily shrieked. Zig got a nervous look on his face and went to the kitchen to calm Shaily down. Shaily was known for her short temper. Squid laughed and moved two chairs over to another table.
***
"Susan! Where the hell are we going!? You missed the turn to the friggin' mall! C'mon! Let's turn around! God!" shouted Brianna wanting to get home. She wanted to pack some more. She was leaving for college in two days. Her things were leaving tomorrow since she couldn't fit all of her things onto the plane in one trip. Her room at Shaily's was filled with boxes with her name and room number on it.
"Uhm right... We will." Susan said turning the car around in a driveway.
"Good," muttered Brianna.
***
"We've only got three minutes and I see the car coming!" shouted MIchelle.
"Everyone go into Squid's backyard now! Come on now! God!" Shaily shouted as she brought up the rear of everyone going into the backyard to hide.
"Two minutes!"
"Twitch d'you got the light switch!" shouted Shaily.
"Yeah!" Twitch said.
"One minute!" shouted Michelle. They all heard the car pull into Squid's driveway. Everyone got down or hid.
***
Brianna and Susan got out of Susan's car and then went into Squid's house. Susan ran to the backyard. "Hey! Where ya goin'?" complained Brianna. Brianna followed Susan and went into the backyard. Brianna was completely blank when she saw everything in the backyard. I was so dark too.
"SURPRISE!" shouted all of Brianna's friends as they jumped out from their hiding places.
"OH MY GOD!" Brianna said, jumping in shock. "You guys really did it this time!"
"Hey honey," whispered Squid.
"Hey," Brianna grinned. "What is this!"
"A party for you! Y'know a "Going Away" party." Shaily answered. Brianna smiled and hugged all of the girls.
"Thanks you guys!" Brianna said gratefully.
"C'mon! Y'all are borin' me! LET'S PARTY!" shouted Michelle. Twitch grinned and switched on the lights and music. Brianna gasped as the backyard lit up. It was beautiful. "C'MON BRI!! LET'S PARTY!" Michelle yelled.
"YEAH!" chorused Sherri, Susan, and Shaily. (Didya noticed they're the Three S's? LOL!)
"C'mon we've got gifts too," Squid said pointing over to a table with piles of things on it. Brianna turned around and hugged Squid tightly. "Ok ok! Stop chokin' me!" said Squid laughing. Brianna let him go and kissed him quickly. She walked away to go party with her friends.
"Don't let her slip away Squid," said Zig Zag.
"I'm not about too," Squid answered.
"Good."
"Oh c'mon! Stupid stereo!" Shaily shouted. "RICKY!"
"Duty calls," Zig Zag said leaving Squid and rushing over to Shaily. "What?"
"I thought you said you got this fixed!" Shaily growled.
"I did! What happened?!"
"It won't play Brianna's favorite song!"
"Lemme see it!" Zig Zag opened the stereo. "Maybe it would play the song if you HAD THE CD IN IT!"
"Oh," Shaily said turning red. Everyone laughed. Brianna saw Squid just leaning againest a wall. She walked over to him.
"Hey whatcha doin'?" she asked him, leaning againest the wall next to him.
"Just watching you guys," Squid replied.
"Oh c'mon! Have a little fun, Alan!" Brianna exclaimed. She grabbed his arm and pulled at him trying to get him away from the wall. 'Aw! Alan! Yer making this party upsetting for me. I want ya to have fun!" she said dragging him into the party.
"Bri! C'mon! Lemme go!" shouted Squid. She refused and drug him over to the table with the stereo. Shaily was looking for the CD with Brianna's favorite song on it. Brianna rolled her eyes and told Squid to stay put. She went over to help Shaily looking for Bowling for Soup CD.
"There it is! C'mon! Put it in!" laughed Shaily. Brianna placed the CD into the stereo and found the song "The Girl All the Bad Bo ys Want". She pressed play.
"I LOVE THIS SONG!" shouted the girls in unision except for Teresa who had just arrived with Zero. THe guys stared.
"I wonder why..." the guys said flatly in unision.
"WE HEARD THAT!"
And the party began to take flight. They ate, danced, goofed off, and other things. Brianna was so happy that she had such great friends. She even got Squid to dance, well sort of. He didn't move very much and tried to walk away a few times. It was now time for the presents. "OOO! OPEN MINE FIRST!" shouted Shaily like a five year old.
"Shaily!" said Zig Zag.
"What?"
"Oh my God," laughed Brianna. She picked out Shaily's present and opened it. "Wow! It's beautiful!" Shaily had gotten Brianna a framed picture of all the girls before they had gone to Camp Green Lake. Brianna noticed Mel was in the picture too. Brianna placed the picture back onto the table and grabbed another gift. "This is from MIchelle!" she said as she ripped open the the wrapping paper. She had gotten more tank tops. "Ah! Thanks so much Sticky Fingers!" She placed the tank tops back onto the table.
"I knew you'd love the tank tops!" Michelle said laughing. Brianna grinned and grabbed another gift.
"This is from... Susan!" Brianna said as she dug through the bag. Susan had given her a scrapbook she had made herself. It had pictures of almost every little moment the Strips had ever been through. Even pictures at Camp Green Lake and when Brianna was absent. "Oh Susan! I love it!" Brianna said hugging Susan. Now the only present left was the one from Sherri. Brianna dug through the bag and pulled out the gifts. "OH MY GOD! A CD WALKMEN AND CD CASE! YEAH! I NEEDED THOSE! WOOHOO! Thanks sooooooo much much Sin!" said Brianna.
"Sin?" asked Sherri.
"You're nickname."
"I got a nickname now!"
"I know it's taken me a while but I FINALLY came up with it!" Brianna said grinning as she grabbed a card. "Ok from Magnet. Wait. One question Magnet."
"What?" asked Magnet.
"Did you steal this?"
"Oh funny! But no."
"Ok good." Money came out of the card. Almost all the guys gave Brianna money since they weren't exactly sure what to buy Brianna. Teresa and Zero both chipped in to give Brianna a laptop and twenty dollars each. Squid was the only person who hadn't given Brianna a present. "Hmm," Brianna said. "It seems one person hasn't given me something!"
"Oh chill," Squid said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gift. it was a small but long box in wrapping paper. "Here," he said as he threw it to her. She smiled and opened it. Under the wrapping paper was a jewelery holder with a velvet feeling box. She opened it and inside was a golden chained, gold heart-shaped locket. It was her locket, but something seemed different. Instead of reading, "Best Friends" on it. It said "Keep Me Close In Your Heart". She took out the locket and opened it. Inside was the same picture of her friends but the picture of Squid and her was different. It was their prom picture inside of it. She looked over at Squid and almost cried. "Thanks," she whispered.
"No problem." he replied. He came up behind her and helped her put it on. "There." He said while kissing her cheek.
* Two Days Later *
Brianna was standing outside with a backpack slung over her shoulder. Squid was behind her. He had his hands placed on her shoulders. "I'm gonna miss ya honey. Don't forget to email me. You do have a laptop now! So NO excuses!" he said to her. She laughed.
"Very funny." she replied.
"C'mon! Get into the car."
"I'm going." Brianna said. She got into Squid's car and he got into the driver's seat. "I can't believe I'm going to college!" she said happily.
"I'm gonna miss you."
"Me too!" Squid started up the car and began to drive to the airport. "You send me pictures of New York!"
"Don't worry. I will! As long as you send me pictures of you and New Orleans."
"Oh wonderful. Do I hafta pose for those pictures?"
"If you want."
"I was being sarcastic," Brianna muttered. Squid grinned.
"I know, but I was being serious," he said quickly kissing her. Brianna rolled her eyes but smiled. Most of the ride to the airport was silent. There wasn't much to say that wasn't already said. Except the dreaded "goodbyes". It took about thrity minutes to get to the airport. They went into the airport and to the terminal. Squid hugged her tightly. "Yer sure you got a place to stay there."
"I'm positive. Kayla got a me an apartment there and if that doesn't work out I can always go to my aunt's. So calm down!" Brianna said returning the hug.
"Ok. I'm just asking."
"I'll visit New York sometime. I'd love to see it at Christmas."
"I'll come visit too. I promise."
"Hey Alan."
"Hey what?"
"Promise me one more thing?" she asked.
"Anything," Squid replied as they pulled away form their embrace.
"Kiss me goodbye," she whispered slyly. He looked down at her.
"Sure," he said. He leaned into Brianna and pressed his lips onto Brianna's lips. He kissed her deeply holding her tightly againest him again. She fell into that last kiss.
"Flight 48693 is now boarding," said the ticket lady over the intercom. Brianna and Squid broke their kiss and stared at eachother for a while.
"Well this is it. Bye Alan," whispered Brianna kissing him again. "I love you!" she said walking away and waving to him. He waved back.
"I love you too," he said. He watched Brianna hand the ticket lady her ticket and get onto the terminal. He walked over to the window and placed his hand onto the glass. He waited for the plane to leave.
***
Brianna sat down on the seat. Mostly teenagers were riding this plane. They must be going to college like Brianna. She was almost crying as she looked out her window and saw Squid. "Are ya leavin' someone too?" said a female voice from beside Brianna. Brianna turned and saw a red head.
"Yeah. My boyfriend."
"Aw that sucks."
"Yeah but he's going off to New York. Oh what's yer name?"
"Tracy. You?"
"Brianna."
"Oh cool! We're roomin' togtha!" Tracy said happily.
"You sound like yer from New York."
"Brooklyn where else!" Tracy said laughing as she sat down beside Brianna. "You sound like a southerner."
"New Orleans is my hometown." Brianna replied.
"Oh cool! Ya can show me places!"
***
The plane revved up and Squid's heart was hurting. He watched it take the runway and take off. He pulled away from the glass. "Bye Bri."
***
"Hey what's yer guy look like?" Tracy asked. Brianna showed a picture of Squid. It was the picture in her locket. "Oh! He's a cutie! Ain't he!"
"Yeah. He's real sweet too."
"Aw. Wish I had a guy like him."
"I'm gonna miss him bad."
"I would too."
