I'm Done

The Drive

Tara had just came to my school this year. My whole group of friends have pretty much "abducted" her. She's our friend just like she had been here sconce kindergarten - which most of us have. She moved here from a town about an hour away. She's just amazing. It was about January when this whole thing started.

Tara had mentioned going to these dances before but I was never really interested in going. They were just not my scene. But this time was different. Tara kept saying to me

"But it's 2013!!! It's a new year so it's time you try something different."

So I finally agreed to go to the dance with her and Anna. The dance was in the town where Tara moved from and so she said she was excited for me to meet all her friends from her old school and I was too.

There was still a couple of weeks away so I had some time to plan. I needed to figure out what outfit I was going to wear. I walked into my room and stared at the pile of clothes on my floor. I started digging through it and I finally found my white short shorts.

I usually don't wear these shorts but I didn't want Tara's friends to think I was a weirdo... Even though I am. I wanted to make a good first impression. I grabbed my black flowy top and tossed them onto my chair so I didn't wear them before the dance.

Once the night if the Dave finally came I was stoked. Tara was. Driving me so my mom dropped me off at her house.

"Hey!" Said Tara "Are you excited to go to your first much dance?"

"Well duh!" I said.

We walked through her house and to the garage. Her mom was already waiting for us in the car. Tara got in the front seat so I got in the seat behind her. The ride was pretty quiet except for the sound if Tara clicking to a different radio station every 5 seconds.

"Why don't you choose one station Tara?" I asked

"Because they all have crappy songs playing." She answered.

She clicked through a few more stations until she finally settled on one. I was looking outside the window when I realized we pulled into the parking lot of an apartment building.

"What are we doing here?" I asked

"I need to pick up my friend." She said as she jumped out of the car and ran for the building.

5 minutes later Tara returned with another girl. She was taller than Tara which meant taller than me. She had dirty blonde hair pulled into a messy ponytail. She was bigger than Tara but not fat. I watched as she ran to the opposite side of the car and sat in the seat beside me.

"I'm grounded again mom." and then she started laughing. She turned around and said to me "Emma, this is Brooklyn. Brooklyn this is Emma."

Brooklyn looked at me and aid hi. I said hi back. Brooklyn reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a container of orange tic tacs. She opened it and popped one in her mouth and dumped out a few into her hand. Tara reached back and took one.

She held out her hand and asked me if I wanted one.

"I could never turn down a tic tac!" I said as I took one and put it in my mouth. We all started laughing.

"Are you all buckled up Brooklyn?" Asked Tara's mom.

Brooklyn said "Yep I am!"

And we drove away.
