24-Life, sometimes it hates you

Rosie rolled her eyes, forcing her back to relax against the headboard on the bed. She was not the sort of person who was going to show some compassion for someone over something that had nothing to do with her.

"I don't see how this is such a bad thing."

"GROW A HEART, ROSE!" Jen yelled, hitting her cousin with a patterned cushion from Carmen's bed.

"Yeah, Rachel just lost the opportunity of a life time." Carmen agreed.

The girls were all gathered around in Carmen's room, talking about their future and all of the different paths they would be taking at the end of the dragging Summer. Most were still off to college, whilst Jen was going to try and go to High school as a Senior as much as she could and Carmen was still getting married very soon and becoming Queen after that.

"You know, saying things like that is only going to make her feel worse." Annalise told the girls, knowing it was the truth.

"I appreciate the concern." Rachel told the girls, placing the college guide book she had been reading down on the floor beside her. "But I'm fine. I'd rather look for a new college to go to and be close to Abigail then give up and go to Scarlatina Community, anyway."

All of the girls exchanged a look; most of them were going to SCC-Scarlatinan Community College- themselves. It would have been nice if Abigail and Rachel were going there also. The group could have been somewhat together if they had been.

"But seriously." Carmen mumbled. "You should have gotten in."

Rachel rolled her eyes, putting her book back down on the floor. All this talk about college was getting on her nerves, it was clear to everyone. Rachel was upset she never got into the college, but she was quite happy to accept that she was going to have to apply to another one instead. It was a lot easier for her to just move on than it was for her friends.

"College is gonna suck..." Rosie muttered, thinking about how things were all going to change now. The group was hardly ever going to see each other again. They had all grown up together and now they were all going to have to go down different paths.

"We're never all going to be the same again." Abigail moaned. It was true, though. "Carmen's not going to college at all, Jen and Tiger are still in High school, and have ruined their lives...Plus, Thomas and Scott still hate each other."

"Hey!" Jenifer interjected for a moment. "It's not our fault we're a year young! And we have NOT ruined our lives!"

Carmen sighed, "At least we'll have each other on major Holiday's and such."

It was a thought. Times such as Christmas and Summer would always be a good time to reconnect with each other. However, it was never truly going to be the same before. Everyone was going to move on, get a whole new life. That was what they were mostly afraid of; change.

"We can always keep trying to get Scott and Tom back together again." The fairy suggested, but it just was not a true option anymore. They had been trying too hard already; there was just no fixing it between them.

No one knew what to say next. The air was tense and the silence was awkward, and only person was ever good at coming up with new conversation's when it was awkward.

"Well, I'd quite happily go to college." Carmen told her girl's. "However, my whole life has been planned out for me. In fact, by the end of the Summer, I shall be married."

It was a bad thing that Carmen had to get married. Whilst everyone had college, school and a baby to tie them down, Carmen had an actual husband. That, besides the baby of course, was going to be one of the most time consuming things. Marriages took work and effort, everyone understood that.

"Life sucks..." Rachel muttered, throwing the college guide book half-way across the bedroom. She was getting fed up of looking already.

"Life may suck." Jenifer told her family and friends. "But at least we'll always have each other to turn to when the suckiness gets to a high point."

No one faces each other; no one wanted to face each other. And then Rosalinda had to speak up again,

"But how long for?"

A/N: Yeah...You just keep thinking positive thoughts there, Rosie...

hehe!

HEY! HEY! Me again! LOL! YAY! LOL!

Okay...Happy time over...Now for some very sad and depressing news...

NO! I am not leaving Fanfiction...That would be even worse news...THIS STORY IS OVER! OVER! OVER! OVER!

Okay...I'll give you a choice now because Aaron has had this playing on my mind for a bit...The end of the next story will be the end...I mean it...The END!

Many ideas to still add in...SO! If ya'll will let me, I would like to continue GO after the next story has finished, but just with a few stories that ramble on about their lives and how things work out...You know what I mean...Hopefully...

ANYWAY! NO need to worry about that yet, I'll get back to ya'll about it at the end of the next story, so no need to stress...WAIT! I haven't even asked you if you want a new story yet...Do you?

Would you guys like to read my horoscope for today?

Sometimes your daydreaming leads you way out of your body and into a place well beyond time and space. Your romantic nature wants to escape and never touch back down to the real world. Take a giant step toward that which tickles your fancy. Take the loftier approach and encourage others to share your dreams instead of letting them weigh you down.

Doesn't that sound like a good day? LOL!

Thanks for reading, please review :)

Love, ChloeRhiannonX
