The Long Journey

The gang.

“SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!”

Is jamming on the radio in Ali’s truck. All Ali can think about it getting out of Kentucky, getting far far away.

 

“JUST A CITY GIRL”

is playing on the radio in Alexi’s car. All Alexis can think about is getting her bikini on and hitting up the beach.

“BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN EVERYWHERE”

Is jamming on the radio in Alexandra’s jeep. All she can think about is getting out of her parents’ house.

 

“THAT SHOULD BE ME”

Is playing on the radio in Aubrey’s “red” truck. All Aubrey can think about is meeting a nice, sexy, muscular man.

 

“BABY COME BACK TO ME”

Is jamming on the radio in Amber’s car. All she can think about is making sure her extensions look good.

As all 5 of the girls pull into their school one by one, right next to each other they all get a tear in their eye knowing that after their road trip they will probably never see each other again. It breaks Ali’s heart to think about it that after all these years and after everything they’ve been through (and they’ve been through a lot.) in 3 months they will be saying their goodbyes and going their separate ways.

            “Hey loves.” Alexis says hopping out of her car. Last one out, of course, she had to take a double take in the mirror.

            “Hey!” they all say in unison.

            “Did you guys watch secret life last night?” Ali said “Rickie and Amy finally got married! Amy is such a lucky girl!”

            “Oh I know honey. Rickie is so hot, I would so do him.” Aubrey says.

            “Emmm more than once.” Alexandra says, with a huge smile on her face.

            “Dang it I forgot to watch it. Thanks for ruining it for me.” Amber yells.

            “Sucks for you, hope you recorded it because it was ahhh-mazing!” Ali says.

            Alexandra laughing says “Its okay I recorded it you can come over and watch it if you want.”

            All 5 girls linked arms and started walking, the girls are wearing clothes to show off the tata’s. They want those boys drooling at their feet.

            “Yum, look at that butt. And it’s all mine.” Alexandra says bragging.

            “Oh shut up. I let you have him and you know it. Just so I can have my black man.” Aubrey says with a huge grin.

            “Hahahaha. Man my butt, you mean boy! Jacob is no man that’s for sure.” Ali says dying laughing. Freshman year Ali fell in love with Jacob they were a great couple. She gave up everything for him, he was her first. There was always tension between Ali and Aubrey but Ali loves Aubrey and she wants her to be happy. Ali doesn’t care or have any felling at all for Jacob any more. And she’s happy for Aubrey, she just hopes Jacob won’t do to her what he did to Ali.

            Today is Aubrey and Jacobs two year anniversary. Aubrey got Jacob a huge teddy bear that has a heart with their first picture in it. Jacob got Aubrey a key, not just any key but a hotel key. Jacob is hoping to get lucky.

            “Honey you did not let him have me. He chose me.” Alexandra says.

            Ever since the end of sophmore year Alexandra goes for what she wants, she’s still a sweet heart. But she doesn’t let anyone walk all over her and say anything they want to her. She finally got her back bone, and does what she wants when she wants. Before Aubrey could say anything John walked over wrapped his arms around Alexandra and kissed her. Aubrey just watched in despise, even though she’s with Jacob she still secretly wants to be with John.

            “John have you seen Jake?” Ali says “he got caught sneaking in his window last night, and his mom took his phone away.”

            “Nah dude I haven’t seen him.” John says “what time does he usually get here?”

            “Whenever I call and wake him up!” Ali says frustrated. “I guess I’m just going to drive over there and wake him up.”

            “We all know what that means. How many periods you going to miss this time three? Four? Maybe five? If he’s in the mood right?.” Alexis says laughing. “Well I’m going to go find James I’ll catch you guys at lunch.”

            “Yo dawg wait up.” Jay yells running over to Amber. “Hey baby.”

            “Hey sweetie.” Amber says kissing him on the check.

            “So we on for tonight?”

            “Uhh I guess we are.” Amber says getting closer “Did you get the whip cream?”

            “Ewh you freaks. Go somewhere else and talk about your naughty nights.” Alexandra yells laughing.

            “Sorry guys we will catch you all later.” Amber says smiling. “Hey we still skipping?’

            “Heck yeah!” Jay says.

            “Well Alex if I’m late for first tell Watkins I’m helping set up for graduation.” Ali yells as she walks off “catch y’all later.”
