Hi I'm Arizona Parker. I'm 17 almost 18 in a few months. I'm a country girl. I live on a farm. My house is pretty big because it was my moms dream house. My mom died when I was 15. And so did my brother, Cameron. He was 16. Now it's just me and my dad. My dad refuses to remarry and I'm totally fine with it. I love my mom. Nobody could take her place. Same goes for Cameron.

Hi I'm Ethan Gray. I'm 17 turning 18 in about 3 weeks. I'm pretty popular. I have a girlfriend. I don't really want her but its for the popularity. Gotta keep a reputation. I have rich parents. Both of them are Neuro-Surgeons. They make about $35,000 a week. I'm always in trouble. I have black hair, I'm letting it grow out a little bit. I don't really have anything else to say. Bye!

"I'm going to work dad! I'll be home around 7pm." I yelled before walking out of my house. I got into my Red truck. It was actually really nice, ever since my mother died 2 years ago my dad and I have had a better bonding chance. Although I do miss my mom. I try not to think about it as much.

I turned the key and pulled out of the drive way. I live in a big house with lots of land. I'm a country girl. I hate the city, although I do enjoy shopping every now and then.

I arrived at the ice cream shop it was about 20 minutes from my house.  

"Good morning Arizona." My boss Izzie said as soon as I walked in the door. "Ah good morning Izzie." I said back giving her a warm smile. "How's your dad doing hun.?" She asked looking at my face. "Oh he's actually doing quite well." I replied putting my apron on.

"That's good to hear." She said as our first customer of the day walked in.

"Hello sir, how may I help you.?" I asked smiling at him. He looked to be about 45 or so, he had grey hair and brown eyes.

"I'd like to have one scoop of vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone please." He said smiling. "Sure, coming right up." I said going back into the ice cream area and scooping up his ice cream. I came back out and handed it to him. "Here ya go, that'll be $1.25 sir. He paid me two dollars and said keep the change. 'Gee, what a nice man.'

"Today's pretty slow huh.?" I said to Izzie. We were the only ones working today since she just reopened this place not to long ago. "Yeah it's slow day, but that's alright. Take a break Hun. I got this for a couple of minutes or so." She said opening the door for me. "Are you-" "Yes I'm sure" she said before I could even finish my sentence.

I walked out of the shop and got in my truck. I haven't eaten yet and I'm pretty hungry. I drove to the Taco Bell across town and ordered 2 soft tacos. I ate them and drove back to work. "Well I guess I'll sit here for another 10 minutes or so." I turned on the radio and heard my favorite song playing.  

*Highway don't care, I can't live without you i cant live without you babyy... highway don't care if your coming home, but I do I do.*  

I really love that song. I looked up and seen about 10 people walk into the ice cream shop. So I turned the truck off and ran inside. I put my apron back on and started taking orders. Now it's getting busy.
