Summer in New York is hectic.
The winters reach down 20° and right now, I wish I was in my wooly coat and ice skating around Central Park.
I sigh into the towel on my face as my best friend Caterina walks in, basically naked.
"Cat! I know its 108° but that does not mean you can walk around the house naked!" I yell, pulling the towel over my eyes.
"Hey, it's my house," she smirks, going into the kitchen and opening the fridge.
Technically, it wasn't her house, it was her parents' loft and they let us stay here for the summer.
"So, G, our new lives start tomorrow! Senior year, senior parties, senior boys,"
Caterina had a reputation of getting with boys. Jumping from one to the other, usually week after week. All I wished for her was to find someone she can permanently stay with who loved her and who can make sure she's treated right.
"Oh yeah, definitely, I can't wait to put in every new guys' number in my phone every week." I joke, not really joking.
"Suck it."
I smile into the towel and throw it at her, which turns into a war.
Caterina and I had been inseparable ever since freshman year, being in the same homerooms and having the same interests. Needless to say, her family was rich, and I got spoiled along with her every chance that I got.
I've only ever had one boyfriend, and I'll admit I've slept around myself, but those were my sophomore years, and I know I need to mature and try and help Cat, too.

"Hey what time do we need to be there?" Cat asks, slipping on a skin tight yellow dress.
It was the last party of the summer, along with the biggest. It was being thrown by the most popular couple in school, Desiree Sylvan and Calum Hood. No one was really close to them, except for Cat, and now, me.
"Desiree said it was starting at 8, but to get there at around 6:30."
It was 5:48, and Cat still hadn't started on her makeup. And she was extremely picky about her makeup.
I had gotten ready 30 minutes before, settling on a burgundy strapless dress and black heels. I've always just done some natural shadowed makeup for when we go out anyways.
"Cat are you done yet?" I asked her as she was finishing her perfectly sculpted wing.
"Yep, finished! Lets get going before Calum starts yelling at Desiree to yell at us."
She smiles and grabs her Saab keys and starts out of the loft.

"No! Definitely not! I promise you, G, it'll be so fun! Come on, let's play." Cat slurrs, already on her 8th drink.
I laughed into my 10th, and followed her and sat in the circle around Calums' parents' living room.
I usually don't get this drunk at parties, but it was the last one, and hell yeah I wanted to make some memories.
It was when Ashlee dared me to '7 minutes in heaven' with Ryan that the gun shot went off.
