i think i killed my friend

28 may 2018

the moment i opened my eyes, i smiled. i have been waiting for this day for days and i woke up early just for it.

margo rose and i have been planning for this for a really long time. a summer vacation camping road trip. we studied really hard for our tests and our mum finally agreed to let us go. they even said they would sponsor us for a camping van. i looked over to the bags i have packed last night and it's huge. this is the first time i'm going for a camping road trip and i have absolutely no idea what to bring. so i am bringing everything. summer clothes. winter clothes. swimwear. land wear. i don't know.

i ran down the stairs and margo rose was already in my house. my mum invited her in for breakfast. she's early. margo rose entered and beamed. i stared at her bag and was surprised to see it so... small. i bet she's going to end up borrowing a lot of my stuff. i wouldn't mind though. margo rose can take anything. she can even take my life if she wants to.

my mum made us repeat again and again the rules for our camping road trip. the can dos and cannot dos.

1. drive under limit.

2. no going out of route.

3. be in the van and only the van after 9pm.

4. lock the van. always.

5. safety, safety and more safety. lock the van doors. always.

6. no and no alcohol.

7. call home every morning, afternoon, and night.

8. if anything major happens, return home. immediately.

9. no boys. not even half of them.

10. have fun but not too much fun.

margo rose and i are not the greatest kids. we get in trouble too. we hid drugs and drinks but we aren't too irresponsible to do anything reckless. we assured my mum again and again. we make promise to follow the 10 rules and memorised them in our brains and heart. also, it's just one week. what can go wrong?

i have margo rose. and margo rose has sadie jean.
