"Todays the day. The day that determines the rest of my life, my whole living existence. Am I being a little dramatic? Maybe, but thats not the point. Today is the day I find out if I made it onto the Las Vegas Aces majorette team. This is VERY impo...

I put in my two weeks notice at my old job as a nurse at my local childrens hospital. Everyone was really nice, and on my last day they even threw a party for me. I thought that was really sweet, and I may even miss some of my coworkers a little bit. Just a little bit because I really didn't get close with any of them as I always been a person to stay myself.
I became accustomed to being alone, as I never really had many friends growing up. Therefore being by myself became easier and easier. I met Aja in college and we just clicked. It was kinda like we were destined to be friends. And I'm really glad that was the case because she's one of the best friends that anyone could ask for.
Aja is also how I found out about Sydney. Aja has always dreamed of joining the WNBA since she was little. No words could describe how excited we were when she got in. Of course, things were a little bittersweet since she had to move away. One thing I am really grateful for, is that Aja and I never lost contact no matter how busy we were. Now after 2 long years of being apart, we're finally reuniting again. I have to give some thanks to Aja for making me audition for the team, because without her I would've never done it.
I'm very excited and nervous at the same time, but I'm not going to let that get in the way of me. Scanning my apartment and looking at my packed bags, I reminisce on my life here in South Carolina. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasn't really great either. A ding ringing from my phone brings me out of my thoughts. It was the notification that my uber to the airport was outside. I manage to grab all of my bags, hauling them to the elevator and going down to the ground floor.

5 hours later ___________
Blinking sleepily, I stretch my arms out being careful not to hit the person sitting besides me. I open the window of the plane slightly hissing when the sudden change of light hits me by surprise. "How much longer...", I mumble slumping down in my seat. Just as I'm about to open my airpod case a ding stops me from doing so.
"At this time will everyone please remain seated, as well as buckle their seatbelts. We're going to be landing in just about 5 minutes. The pickup area for bags will be at Gate C. Thank you for flying with Delta Airlines we hope you enjoyed and welcome to Vegas!"
I can't help but smile after hearing that message. I get to see my best friend after two long years. For the last few minutes of the flight I looked out of the window watching as we got closer and closer to the ground. As soon as we landed I grabbed my things, scrambled out of my seat, and rushed in front of the crowd of people. I walked as fast as I could to Gate C as instructed spotting Aja from a mile away. The second I spotted her I took off running tackling her by surprise.
"AJAAA", I screamed frantically loud, ignoring the stares from the people around us.
"KEKE", she screamed back, using my nickname. "I was nice and got all 3 million of your bags for you. That'll be 50 bucks, ma'am." I smacked her hand rolling my eyes. "Bitch you ain't getting shit. Enough talking I wanna go to the apartment." Grabbing as many of my bags as I could I walked away like I knew where I was going. "Girl I hate to break it to you, but you're going the wrong way." Stopping in my tracks I turned around walking the other way. "Yep I totally knew that."
Aja being the elite best friend she is found us an apartment that we could live in together. She moved in it about a week ago, and hasn't let me see it at all. I knew she wouldn't pick anything I wouldn't like. If not we were going to have to throw hands cause she knows better. But, now that the time is finally here I'm really anxious to see how the apartments looking.
The drive to the apartment was only about 30 minutes. During that time me and Aja just caught up with each other and blasted music in the car like we always used to do. "Here", Aja says throwing something at me. I pick it up smacking my teeth after I realize what it was. "The fuck I'm supposed to do with this", I say side eyeing Aja. "Bitch put it on" I gasp dramatic putting my hand over my chest. "Did you just call me a bitch?!" "Omg, would you just shut up and put it on"
I squeeze Aja's hand VERY tightly as she leads me into the apartment. "Please don't make me bump into anything", I mumble. "Girl I heard that", Aja said smacking her teeth. I start getting really excited once I hear the sound of jingling keys. "You readyy?" "Omg I been ready!" "Okay okay 3..2..1" Aja snatches the blind fold off. "Owww that hurt.", I whine rubbing my forehead. I look around in awe. "Where's my room?" "Right here", Aja says. I run to it excitedly, immediately looking at the bed. "Ouuu perfect for me and Sydeny to fuck" "Omggg", Aja said. "That girl don't want you." "Shut up Aja, let me shoot my shot"
