*BRRRRIIIIINNNNNNGG*
The last bell of the year. My last day as a junior. Wow. One year left of high school.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe it's summer. Beaches, movies, hiking, swimming, tanning, and most importantly hanging out with you, my best friend." I tell my best friend Emily
"Awee I love you so much best friend. I can't wait to do all of this, like hanging out all summer. It'll be lit." she said with a huge smirk, "My goal is to be as dark as you, but you'll be way darker than me by the end of summer."
As I shut my locker for the last time for a while I reply, "True. Hey wanna go get pizza? I'll drive and pay."
She looks at me funny. As if I knew the answer. Which of course I did, it's pizza. We could talk about it for hours. I hope she doesn't want it from Little Caesars. It's good just not my favorite.
"Duh, what kind of question is that? Obviously a rhetorical question." She sarcastically replies with a laugh.
I just laugh, "Okay where do you want it from? I was thinking Pizza Portal. That new place near Dunham's"
"Uhhh..." She gives me a double chin that reminds me of the one that Matthew Espinosa does, "YASSSSS!! Oh my gosh that place is so good!"
I smile, grab my keys to my burgundy convertible Volkswagen Beetle. Emily grins as she obviously is thinking about that pizza.
Emily is my best friend. I've known her for a few years but it feels like my whole life. I'd do anything for her. Our personalities are like twins. So are our faces, we did a face swap and the only difference was our eyebrows, eye color, and smile. Emily and I are going to travel the world.
Once we arrive and order our pizza we start talking, "Dude I really want to go to a Magcon concert but they were sold out anywhere near here. I want to meet them. Especially Shawn. He's just....perfect."
"I know I know. You will one day I know it" she says as she moves some stuff so there'll be room for the pizza, "I know that without him, or Magcon in general, you wouldn't be here. So I will make sure you meet them if you don't meet him by the time you're 18 and I'm 19."
"Thanks Em, for listening to me go on and on about this. This is one of the many many reason you're my best friend whom I dearly love." I manage to say before I bite my pizza and laugh.
******************
As I arrive home I see my parents talking and Emily and I look at each other. They don't notice us walk in. I don't even think they heard us. How could they not we were laughing our heads off? Emily and I continue to my room drop our bags then head back to the living where my parents are.
"Faith I need you to sit down," my mom says as my dad nods at her, "This summer your father and I have planned a trip out of country."
"You're brothers are coming with us of course," my dad continues, "We aren't going to El Salvador again. We are going somewhere different."
I look at Emily kind of nervous yet excited. She gives me a look of reassurance and I smile. I look at the floor then back to my parents.
My mom looks at me with excitement, "Honey, we are going to Europe!"
"WHAT NO WAY!!! Oh my gosh. This is awesome!!!" I yell in excitement, "OH MY GOSH EMILY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!"
Emily looks at me with an exhilarated look, "FAITH YOU COULD SEE THE GUYS!! OH MY GOSH I'M SO HAPPY!!"
My father looks at us in confusion, "The guys?"
"Dad the guys from Magcon will be in Europe this summer while we're there!" I say feeling so much at once.
Oh. My. Gosh. I could meet Cameron, Nash, Matt, Shawn, Carter, and all of them. Plus, I'll be in Europe. I feel so much yet so little. I'm thrilled but all of this excitement doesn't even feel real. Oh well, it's real and I know it. Wow. My dreams could come true.
