January 26th, 2013
I'm so excited.
Tomorrow, I turn 18. I know it's the middle of the school year, but my friend Bella and I have been taking extra night classes and doing a lot of extra credit, so we would be able to leave as soon as I turn 18. Bella has been 18 since July and has been eagerly waiting for this day. So haven't I.
We have been planning this trip since we were 15. We are going to New York. Neither of us have ever been there before.
Bella and I have been friends since we were in 2nd grade. But we really started getting close in freshman year of high school. We really only have on difference, and that is.. That I like one direction! I think they are the most amazing five boys to ever walk this planet. And I know that may sound over the top, but I am hopelessly and deeply in love. And she doesn't really pay attention to them. Which is fine by me.
I can't wait to leave tomorrow. This was going to be the best birthday present ever. Bella knows that I have never been anywhere outside of Massachusetts and now I get to go with my bestfriend! The best part about it and also the most generous part about this trip, was that Bella's parents were paying for the whole thing, because, well, she's rich, and her family is like a second one to me! We are staying at her aunts house because her aunt doesn't live there anymore, and said we could stay there as long as we want. This was going to be perfect!
*phone starts ringing*
I look to see who was calling me, it was Bella.
Me: "heeeeey" sounding excited as I usually do when she calls, as to the fact it doesn't happen often.
Bella: "hey, girl, hey" as we always start our conversations with.
Me: "what's up?"
Bella: "are you packed?"
Me: "but of course"
Bella: "toothbrush?"
Me: "check"
Bella: "pants?"
Me: "check"
Bella: "underwear?"
Me: "check" I say, expecting her to say something like that.
Bella: "bras?"
Me: "check
Bella: "hairbrush?"
Me: "hold on, let me grab that" forgetting that I kept it out of my luggage so I would be able to brush my hair tomorrow. I went into my bathroom and grabbed it and placed it on top of my bag, being sure not to lose it in the mess. "Back!"
Bella: "shirts?"
Me: "check, anything else?"
Bella: "nope I think your good, now help me with mine."
I went through the whole list with her making sure she has everything that she was going to need.
Bella: "Thanks"
Me: "your welcome, now go get some sleep, we have a long drive tomorrow"
Bella: "goodnight, love you" as we always say before getting off the phone with eachother.
Me: "love you too, night!"
*hanging up the phone*
I lay my head down to go to sleep and it takes a while, due to my excitement about tomorrow's journey.
--next day--
I wake up and it's a really nice day out and I'm so excited.
I start to get ready in comfy clothes, being aware about the long car ride ahead.
I brush my teeth and my hair and I'm almost ready to go, when I hear my phone ringing,
Me: "hello?"
Bella: "hey bitch, I'm outside!" And she hangs up the phone.
I grab my stuff and walk out my door, look in my room and realize that my life was really about to begin. I shut my bedroom door, run down the stairs, see my mom sitting there, i give her a hug and kiss, tell her i love her. Out my front door. And I hear a honk of the horn. And run towards the car. I put my stuff inside and hop in the front seat. And we drive away, heading to the big apple!
