Chapter 1: Graduation
Chapter One: Graduation
"Elena, we need to talk."
"Well can we go through the amount of money I still need to pay off for Columbia?" Elena replied. She had just graduated high school so her parents decided to go celebrate at some fancy restaurant.
As Elena took out the piece of paper from her bag, her father, Grayson Gilbert, twirled the straw around in his cocktail.
Once Elena began talking about the specific amounts of money people needed to give her, her mother, Miranda, quickly cut her off.
"Honey, you're father got a… promotion", Miranda said. Elena glanced at her father who was holding his head down with a guilty expression plastering his face.
"No, Elena. This promotion is not good." Miranda stated
"We'll need to make some cutbacks. That means that you can't go to Europe with Bonnie." Finally, Grayson spoke up. "This also means that we can't pay for Columbia. You'll need to get a summer job." With that said, Grayson downed his cocktail while Elena looked torn. This had to be the worst graduation ever. She had so many plans for the summer with Bonnie, and now, thanks to her father, it was all ruined.
Two days later, Bonnie came over to Elena's house with her parents to say goodbye before leaving off to the airport. Bonnie got the opportunity to backpack around Europe while Elena had to go searching for a summer job somewhere to pay off for Columbia
Their parents went inside the house to talk, but Bonnie and Elena stayed outside and just talked like they usually do.
Everything was going normal. Elena told Bonnie about the whole summer job thing while Bonnie could only talk about how excited she was to go to Europe. "I bet there'll be hot guys there." She sad. Elena sighed, knowing that her summer was probably going to suck compared to Bonnie's.
Seeing how said her best friend was about the whole situation, Bonnie took out a plastic bag with a lot of blunts in it and handed it to Elena. "This should get you through the summer" she said. Elena just looked at the bag for a few seconds and then hesitantly took the bag. Her eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets when she saw Bonnie start to light a blunt up.
"Bonnie!" Elena screamed, "You can't do that! Our parents are right there. They can look out the window and see you smoking"
"Fuck them" Bonnie blandly said and continued smoking the blunt.
A few minutes later, their parents came out of the house to say their final goodbyes before they left.
"So, I guess I'll see you in New York then, Elena"
"Until then, Bon"
Elena made sure that none of the parents were looking.
"Thanks for the weed Bonnie. They'll uh, help me get through the summer."
Bonnie smiled. "Any time."
And just like that, Bonnie was driving off.
Elena went back into her room and laid down on her bed.
"What am I going to do?"
Yay! Done with Chapter 1. I promise Damon will come into the picture soon.
