Ugh, when I applied for this job I thought they knew English, but nooo they only speak french. How do you hire someone to come across the world and take a job when you know they only speak English? If I knew this then I wouldn't have accepted the job.. okay, Maybe I would cause I need the money but still you should have the decency to say "Hey look no one speaks English here so you might wanna hire a translator." I was so close to yelling at them, but I knew that would be rude and I would end up being shy but you know what I'm gonna write them a nice long letter.

Once I was done complaining in my head I realized that I was already in front of my loft. I parked my car in the garage and went inside the apartment and headed towards elevators. My loft isn't that big on the outside, but once you see the inside you're just like "DAMN" but that's in my opinion. Once you enter my apartment, there's a huge living room with stone walls, electric fireplace(which I don't know why you would need one it's never cold here), HD flat screen, sofa, lamps, and other necessities. Then you turn right and the kitchen is their it's all black and white and you'll see some red every now and then. Turn left and the dining room would be their last, but not least the bedroom which is next to the dining room I don't know why though it just seems strange to put it there. My room is black and red and everything else matches I also have a walk in closet too but I don't have that many clothes.

I walked inside and threw down my bag and ran to the sofa and jumped on it. I'm soo tired, they have me stressed out already. All I wanted to do was take pictures of bands, but something always happens to me. As I turned my head and sighed I saw mail that I never opened om my coffee table, who knows how long they were there. I got up stretched and got the mail first thing I saw were bills.

Bill, Bill, Bill, Concert ticket oh I'm gonna need that, Bill, hm.. what's this? I picked up a cream colored envelope and I read it now I'm not gonna lie I thought it was a wedding invention but it wasn't it said Washignton High. Wow, I haven't heard that name in a long time. That was my old high school it was just yesterday that I glued the teachers chair to the floor. Ahh, those were the days of being a rebellious teenager. I'm getting off track I wanna read the letter, but I don't know what to expect. You know what who cares YOLO right.

I open up that letter and started to read it,

Well, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. Should I go I mean I haven't talked to anyone they're in years who the hell knows if they even will recognize me? I guess I'll just think about it then.

-----------------------------------------------------TIME LAP-------------------------------------------------------

I'm laying on my bed looking at my ceiling who knew it could be so interesting. I don't know what to do I mean I have work here but I also want to see what my old friends are doing know. I remember how Mary wanted to own her own company and how Lia wanted to be a YouTuber and become a marine biologist. I smile at the thought of us being reunited we used to say how we would never grow apart and that we would have some sort of contact with each other but I don't even know if one of them died or even got married.

We had this bucket list that said all the things we wanted to do together but look what happened now. We don't talk all I know is Lia is really a YouTuber now, but that's it, I don't know where Mary is or how she's even doing. Maybe they'll go who knows but what if they don't then I'll be all alone. Ugh, this is so frustrating you know what Fuck this Shit I made up my Goddamn mind I'm going and that's final.

As I finished packing up my last suitcase I found a picture of us three a high school. I looked at the picture and saw that it was when we graduated I remember when we took it. I laughed at the thought of it.

Flash Back:

"Okay, so we swear we'll never forget each other and that we'll always stay in contact even if it means stalking each other" Lia said I swear she always says the weirdest stuff, but you gotta love it.

"I don't know about the stalking part but I swear we'll keep in touch," Mary said I don't know, but I have a feeling she'll be the one to stalk one of us. She'll just call you out of know where and be like "Hey gurl remember me we went to high school together".

"Yea if any of us lose contact we are allowed to go hunt them down and harass them and possibly slap'" I said I mean I would do it if they ever loose contact ill go up to them and slap them right across the face if I have too.

They both looked at me and said "of course you would."

We all just started laughing for no reason. "Hey, you know what we should do?" Lia said out of nowhere.

"What" I questioned afraid what she'll say.

"We should take a picture just the three of us right know dressed in our cap and gown."she stated

'What why?" Mary exclaimed

" So when were in college and we find the picture we'll remember this day and if we aren't in contact any more we'll make sure to try and find each other. It's like a reminder to show who our real friends were in high school." Lia said

" I think that's a good idea so that way we'll always remember how close we were and that no college friend can compare to how close we are. were the three musketeers.' I said out of nowhere

They laughed when I said three musketeers, but they did agree with me. We all said we should do it and so we did. Three days later we were leaving but not without getting out photo and we laughed so hard when we saw it, Lia was crossed eyed while sticking her tongue out, I had my eyes shut really tight with the biggest smile ever while I held up a peace sign, and Mary was trying not to laugh but failed. Who knew that would be the last day we ever talked. We stopped keeping in touch after 2 months and were never kept contact after.

End of Flashback

I smiled at the memory and I hadn't realized I was crying till I felt my cheek wet. What can I say I'm emotional. I picked up my suitcase and dragged it to my front door then I went back to my room and laid on my bed. I was so tired and I couldn't wait to go back to my hometown. Who Knows what's gonna happen during this trip guess I'm gonna have to wait till I find out? I thought as I turned around and shut off my lamp and I soon drifted off to sleep.
