         "Honestly, I'm so ready to just get drunk tonight and not give a fuck. I really do need it," I said to Megan while applying my eyeshadow in my bathroom. She stopped putting on her blush and quickly turned to me, a smile forming on her perfectly glossed lips. "Good! Now you're talking like the Adriana I know. You shouldn't just sulk in your room every night over Jarrod and over think the reasons why he broke up with you, you don't need it."

             Recently my ex-boyfriend Jarrod broke up with me. We were dating for over 7 months and it was the most serious relationship I've been in so far in my 16 years. The breakup was absolute shit and happened about 2 weeks ago. He told me he wanted to just stay things because he felt as if I was holding him back on trying new things, aka holding him back from having sex with different girls. I was a wreck and you can imagine how crazy I must've gotten but I decided it was time to just get over it , which is where I am now getting ready to go to a party with my best friend.

      "Yeah okay Meg, but anyway let's hurry up because it's already 9 and I'm in need of a drink and to be honest, a nice fat blunt" I said laughing while putting my makeup away and putting on my black Steve Madden wedges. Megan shrieked and put on her red pumps and arm in arm we walked out the door.

"Adriana, get up you have to go to your dad's house today!" my mom called from downstaires. I grunted and rolled around in my bed, slowly opening my eyes. The sun was shining right in my face and today it felt like it was 10x brighter than usual. I turned to my clock on my night stand "10:32" it read.

How fun, a hangover to start the first official day of summer. Last night was insane but much needed. I hadn't gone out in a while and I really did miss it, hanging out with my girls was always great and the usual sleepover and staying in just wasn't cutting it for me. I rolled out of bed and jumped in the shower embracing the warm rush of water against my tensed up back.

After drying my hair and applying my every day makeup ( foundation mascara & eyeliner) I quickly got dressed and headed downstaires.

"Mom I'm leaving now!" I called while grabbing a can of iced tea from the fridge. "Okay I'll see you tomorrow!" She called back. I didn't really mind going between my parents houses on the weekend. Clearly, my parents are divorced and they've been for about 5 years now. I'm kind of over it and truthfully, I like my dad more because of how laid back and chill he is.

I grabbed the keys to my black Audi and the second I stepped outside, the warm Florida summer air whirled around me. The ride to my dads house is about 20 minutes but the ride is enjoyable in a way, passing by the long white sanded beaches was always pleasant for me.

I pulled up to my dad's giant house and the first thing I saw was Melissa, my step mom, gardening out front. "Hey Mel, " I stepped out of the car and greeted her with a warm smile. "Goodmorning  Adriana! nice seeing you again" she said while pulling the hose out of the garage. I continued my  way into the Mediterranean styled house and was greeted by Buddy, my dad's yorkie. I playfully patted him for a minute until my dad met up with me in the living room. He was holding a big folder filled with multi colored papers. I didn't think much of it, thinking it was just something he needed for work.

"Hey Ad, so I need to talk to you" He patted on the leather couch next to him, signaling for me to come over. "Yeah, what's up?" I asked, still holding and playing with Buddy in my arms. "So I know I didn't do much for you for your 16th birthday and I know you've been holding that against me in a way, but I recently made a decision which I think you'll love." By this point I put down Buddy, a million thoughts coming through my head.

My birthday had just passed in April and my dad promised he'd do something for me, but never came around. Knowing the fact that he's straight up rich, the possibilies were endless. "Oh wow dad, what is it?" excitement growing inside of me. My dad noticed the look on my face and chuckled softly. "Well me and Melissa talked it over and we agreed as a present from the both of us, we're sending you to California. There's a city called Huntington Beach that's very appealing to teenagers, so I'm letting you invite 2 of your friends Megan and Jamie. It'll be for the whole month of July and I'm renting out a beach house for the 3 of you girls."
