Olivia's POV
As I was packing for our sleep over, I glanced over to my jewelry box.
On top of everything, there it was. A ratty old blue string with white beads spelling out the word "squad".
-Flashback-
Rianna held up her Palm Bay can to toast to the moment.
"This is to the end of our pathetic elementary school lives, and on to our new and improved high school experiences!!"
Everyone cheered and took a big swig of their beverage.
Ava put her can down on the table and ran up into her bedroom.
Seconds later, she came down with six little boxes.
"Okay, so this might be really dumb, but I got you guys gifts" She handed out the boxes to everyone.
"What is it?" Jasmine asked.
"Open the box dummy!" Ava laughed.
Meghan opened hers first. She ripped her box open and pulled out a blue string with white beads lined up spelling the word "squad".
"Aww Ava!" She began to wrap it around her wrist.
After Meghan, everyone opened their gift.
They were all the same.
"I love it!" I exclaimed.
"I love you guys! And as long as we have these, we will always be friends!" Ava laughed
A tear drop fell down my cheek as I recalled the events that happened that night.
In that moment, I took my ratty blue string, and wrapped my around my wrist.
----------------------------------------------------
We all met up at Ava's. Well, all of us except Jaiden.
"Where the fuck is Jaiden?" I asked.
"I don't know, but if she doesn't hurry, I'm going to flip shit" Rianna explained.
"We're so odd!" Jasmine responed.
"No shit Jasmine" Meghan laughed.
We all laughed.
"God damn it Jasmine! Where the fuck have you been?" I joked.
Jasmine laughed. "Sometimes I just take a step back and look at how weird we are"
"Weird is good" Ava added.
"Very good" Jasmine replied.
"I'm fucking texting her" I pulled my phone out.
ME: Jaiden get your monkey ass down here!
JAIDEN: Wtf are you talking about?
ME: Sleepover. Avas. Tonight. Ringing any bells??
JAIDEN: Oh fuck! I forgot! I'm coming rn!
ME: You better be.
ME: Or I will beat your ass.
ME: The whole squad will jump you!
ME: So hurry yo ass up!JAIDEN: Okay!!
"You're very harsh texter" Jasmine said from behind my shoulder.
"Fuck you, Jasmine"
Everyone laughed.
