Two Girls in West Egg

Chapter 3:NEW YORK!!!

The plane ride was okay I guess. It mostly consisted of me and Karmen taking turns staring at Gatsby. So, I guess it was good.

The first sight of New York we saw was the Statue of Liberty. I smushed my face against the window to get a better look. "Wow." , I was barely able to say. You know, since my face was pressed against a window.

Gatsby turns to me. "Amazing, isn't it? "Yeahhhh....." , I say back. As I turn back from the window, we slowly begin to descend lower and lower until we're finally grounded.

"We're here!" , Karmen says with excitement. Karmen and I both stand up. "After you.", Gatsby says to both of us with a smile.

We both hop out the jet and wait for Gatsby. When he walks out , we follow him to another yellow car exactly like the other one.

"Shotgun!", I yell before Karmen does. Karmen gasps. "Hey!" , she says. I just look at her and smile. Now I get to see the whole side of his face. Ha! Not that I'm weird or anything.....

All of us pile in the car, me in the front seat, and Karmen in the backseat. We soon pull off, full speed of course.

"I imagine Nick is quite excited to see you two," Gatsby says.
"Old sport couldn't stop talking about you two once he started" , Gatsby laughs. "I can see why though, you both seem.......different from most women around here." , he says.

Karmen and I look at each other. "A good different, right?, she asks.
Gatsby grins. "Oh yes, of course! A very good different indeed."

I smile. Oh yeah, we were different alright. He has no idea what he's in store for. Sure, we seem all calm now, but just wait until we get to his house! Lol.

"We'll go see Nick first, then we'll swing by my house.", Gatsby says. "Sounds good.", I say.

We sped down the streets continually dodging people, cars, and any other obstacle in Gatsby's way.
"You were right," Karmen said fearfully, "you are faster in New York."
Gatsby laughed.

As we drove, I paid attention to every little detail of the beautiful city around me. From the people walking the busy sidewalks, to the tall skyscrapers towering in the sky. It was all so amazing.

I'm not really sure how this is actually possible. Gatsby being real and all. For the most part I'm just rolling with it, so is Karmen. We've both assumed that the movie probably plays out in real life once we reach Nick's house. So, we're both pretty much here to make sure Gatsby doesn't die at the end of all this. Which, hopefully, won't be too hard to accomplish.

Soon, we get off the main roads and are driving in a cool foresty type setting. We drive down a path and I look at Karmen excitedly. This is the way to Nick's house!

Suddenly, we pull up in front of the small cottage. Karmen, Gatsby, and I get out, and make our way to the front steps.

As Gatsby knocks on the door, me and Karmen simultaneously look at each other and nod. We had to play the part.

The door soon opens and a man with brown hair and a grey suit steps out. Gatsby smiles. "Hello Old Sport," he says, "I've brought you some visitors." Gatsby steps out the way to reveal Karmen and I.

Nick smiles with joy. "Kelsey! Karmen!" he says as he hugs us both.

"Nick! We haven't seen you in so long!" Karmen says smiling.
She sure knows how to act.
"I know!" Nick agrees. "How have you two been? Still as cute as ever I see."

"We've been great, Nick. And thank you." I respond. "You still haven't changed a bit." I say while smiling. I'm pretty good at acting too.

Nick laughs. "We should go do something! We haven't seen each other in so long, after all.", he says.

"That sounds great!" Karmen responds. I nod. "Alright then!" Nick says. "Let me just go back inside quickly.", he adds. We nod.

Karmen waits for him at the door and I turn to Gatsby, seeing he's about to leave.

"Oh Gatsby!", I say, "would you like to tag along?"

He gives me a charming smile. "Oh no, you three go right on ahead. I wouldn't want to be a bother. You need to catch up with eachother."

I nod. "Okay, are you sure?" "Yes darling, I am, thank you." Gatsby responds.

I nod once again and smile. "Alright then, we'll see you when we get back." "I'll be here." he says as he gets in his car.

I wave as he pulls off and leaves for his house.

Just as he departs, Nick opens and shuts the door, locking it.

"Okay," he says, "are you girls ready?" We both nod with grins on our faces.

Nick smiles. "Good, because I have a very good friend of mine I would like you two to meet."
