When we pull into our normal school spot, we rush into school and into the hallway were we write our names on the paper. I pull out my $2 and so does Emma. I say a quick prayer that we win and we both write our names on the sheet of paper, put it in the bucket and rush to class. I have South Dakota History first hour and she has art so we say our goodbyes and split up to go to class.
The day drags on as I wait for 7th hour to hear the drawings. Then I start thinking, there is no way one of us is going to get called. There are too many other people wanting the trip. I'm still daydreaming when the announcements start. I snap into attention as they say the sports after school and then the lady doing the announcements says, "...and for all of the people who put their names into the drawing for the trip, the winner is..." She pauses for drastic measures that really aren't necessary, "Ashley Smith!"
My mouth drops open as I hear my name, that can't be right. But then the lady repeats it and I hear my name again. Everyone in the room stares at me. The boys who have never notice me take me in for the first time. Everyone wondering who I will pick to go with me. Only the people that I hang out with know who I will choose and everyone else just found out I existed. I don't think more than 18 guys have talked to me this year but as I leave class everyone comes up to me to say congratulations. Some people give me dirty looks and I realize they probably had their names in the bucket too. Ehh, I think, I got it, they didn't, no big deal, they just now noticed me so what can they do, they probably don't even remember my name. Then Emma comes running up to me.
"Let's go girl we got some tickets to grab and some packing to do!"
We rush down to the place where I'm supposed to grab my tickets. We grab the tickets and rush to my car. Once I drop Emma off she gets out of the car and says, "I'll come over to your house when I'm done packing, oh and happy last day of junior year!" She slams the door and runs up to her 2 story gigantic home. We often get called the rich sisters cause we are always together and we both have HUGE houses. I drive the rest of the way home and tell my mom the news. She tells me to go pack and she'll help me go to the airport with Emma and her mom. I say thanks, hug her, and go to my room to pack.
