Shane looked at her watch.

"Y'all come on!" Shane yelled behind her as she sped walked through the airport.

Sunnie and Jia were a few steps behind, briskly walking to keep up. The trio had skipped out on their last class in order to get to the airport before the spring break crowd came. Shane's idea of packing the night before and ordering an Uber to drop them off at the airport was genius idea but under pressure, she could be a pain.

The airport was pretty quiet for a Friday afternoon but the day was gorgeous. It was a warm Florida day, 80 degrees, clear bright skies, and a warm wind that carried a hit of sea water aroma. The three girls were seniors at Townsend University and due to graduate in a month. While Jia, Shane, and Sunnie were always seeking a party, their 3.6 gpa allowed them to do that. These three met in a summer program for underprivileged inner city youth before their freshman year began. The goal of the program was to get them acquainted with the work load they were expected to receive upon the new college endeavors. The three were assigned suitemates and became attached at the hit ever since. They made a pact that as long as they stayed together, one would not let the other slip with their grades, financially, or even in relationships. They were their sister's keeper and made sure to remain loyal to their pact.

Jia was from Philadelphia. She was raised in one of the roughest neighborhoods but was one of the few who was able to get out. She stood about 5'1 in height but rocked an apple booty that would break any neck she walked past. Her caramel skin was smooth and flawless. She came from a family of middle class workers who hit the lottery. Although her family came into money fast, her parents were smart and invested in stocks and started a few businesses. They flipped getting rich quick into a lifetime of wealth. While Jia didn't have to go to school, she wanted to make a name for herself and decided to study Computer Engineering.

Sunnie, who is studying Pre-Law, was from Puerto Rico, she came to the states when she was 18, so her fiery accent was thick but still understandable. Sunnie came from a family of drug lords. Her father was the King Pin until her mother set him. Once her father was arrested, the entire empire began to crumble as the family began to commit crimes against each other out of greed. During the years Sunnie's dad was King Pin, he had set her up with a secret "off the grid" trust fund that held over $300 million that she could not access until she turned 18. The week before her 18th birthday, she went to visit her father in prison. Her father gave her instructions to drain the account on her 18th birthday, and move to the states under a different identity, and to tell no one of her whereabouts. The only requests he had was that she send him post cards with the message "xoxo, Sunnie" to let him know she was alright. Every two weeks, Sunnie was faithful to send out her postcard to her father. As for the money she drained from her trust fund, she set up a bulk of the funds in a retirement fund and the rest she placed in different bank accounts around the country. She was sent multiple checks from the banks each month and lived off the interest. Sunnie's golden skin, and back curly hair was always an attention grabber but her hour glass shaped body and almond shaped eyes is what pulled guys in .

Shane was originally from Jamaica. She came to the states with her parents when she was 8 years old. Shane came from humble beginnings but she quickly learned that hard work pays off. Once she turned 13 she began working 2 jobs to help support her family. Once she graduated high school, she was considering getting a third job but her parent demanded that she take advantage of the scholarships she's received and go to school to get a better life. A reluctant Shane agreed and decided to study Accounting and Finance. Unlike her two friends, Shane needed to work while she attended school and landed a paid internship with one of the nation's most recognized financial investment companies. She worked with them since her freshman year and the work she did was so phenomenal, they offered her a part-time position as a Financial Analyst. Once she graduates her position will also graduate into a full-time Senior Financial Analyst. She knows that a lot of her success may be accredited to her slender build and busty chest. While she dressed presentatble to work every day, she would always catch her boss, Mr. Dube, a wealthy, single, and very handsome 40 year old, looking at her in a very unprofessional way. Maybe when she graduates, she'll pursue that but until then, Shane's plan was to keep it professional. Due to the knowledge she was able to learn and apply, she was able to advise Jia's family and Sunnie to invest in a few stocks that returned their few hundred dollar investment into millions. Due to that friendly advice, Jia's family and Sunnie had rewarded Shane with a few million dollars as a thank you and hired her as part time financial counsel. Shane sent half the money to her family who is now living more than comfortably and she began investing the other half for her own profit.

"We have to make it to our gate in 20 minutes" Shane called out again.

"We hear you, woman" Jia grumbled back and Sunnie smiled at the response yet she still didn't say a word. Sunnie was definitely the most passive of the group but when in partying mode, she was the loudest. Jia was the one who was considered the clown of the group but she was also the hot head. She didn't like taking order too much. And Shane was the mom; she was organized, always levelheaded and wanted to talk through the issues.

The girls continued to jog through the airport until they reached their gate and to their surprise, there was no one in line yet. Sunnie and Jia glared at Shane.

"You rushed us through the airport like there would be a line or something! The stewardess isn't even here yet!" Jia proclaimed while Shane shook her head in frustration.

"Calm down, we got here kind of early, but you know what that means we have time for?" Shane asked looking at her best friends.

"DRINKS!!" Sunnie responded will darting her eyes around to find the nearest airport lounge. Jia smiled trying to hold in her excitement but the idea of getting a buzz before hopping on the plane gave her butterflies.

"Found one!" Sunnie called as she hoisted her Louise Viton Keepall 60 carry-on bag on her shoulder. Her berry colored Gucci Thong sandals were clicking against the airport's tile floor as she made her way to the VIP airport lounge. Jia and Shane followed closely behind.
