Hailey

Chapter 3

I meet up with Casey on the path to school.

"Hi Hailey!" Casey says just barely keeping herself from bouncing up and down.

"Well, well, what are you so excited about?" I asked.

" Well, I'm getting to go to this Dance Camp this summer, it's going to be so much fun!!!!!!" She giggles.

"Thats great! Is it the dance camp that you really wanted to go to?" I question. Casey had been wanting to go to a dance camp since she was little but never had enough money to go. I was glad that she would get to go this year.

"Mmm hmm." Casey replies, a smile growing across her face, her emerald green eyes wide with delight.

"Hailey, are you nervous about our test today? I mean this decides what classes we get to take in highschool. It decides what the rest of our life could possibly be like. What college we get into." Casey's smile had turned into a worried look of concern. Her eyebrows knitted together in thought.

"Well, I was thinking about it a bit this morning, but I never was really worried about it until now. I mean, should we really be worried? We have been preparing for this test the whole year."

"I know, I know." Casey replies quietly."I just can't help but worry. You know me. I'm always worrying about school. Sometimes I wish I could be more like you, you're always so carefree about stuff like this." That comment took me by suprise and I stumbled over a crack in the sidewalk.

"Well, thanks? I guess." I blush, my face getting hotter by the minute. I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. I checked the time. 7:30am. We needed to hurry to school, classes started in 15 minutes.

"C'mon Casey!" I say sliding my phone into my pocket. "15 minutes until classes start." "Ok." Casey says picking up her pace.
