Wildest hearts

The First Night

Alice's house is really beautiful. At first, it seems kind of small and regular, and then you go in the back and it's so much larger than it let showed. She has a big great yard that joins to a lake with a quay. It's really awesome.

It's 12 o'clock and we are all downstairs. We all put our stuffs in a corner and take clothes out of our backpacks. We need to change those plaid skirts for something more casual, something that says that school is finally over. A white T-shirt with black shorts will do perfectly.

- Where do we put our alcohol?, Marissa says with a vodka bottle in her hand.
- You can put it in the refrigerator under the stairs, Alice says pointing the direction that she has to go, right there!

I do the same thing as Marissa and take out my beers from my backpack. We had to bring our alcohol to school, we had no choice. I rolled my beers in my pajama pants to be sure no one finds out. I was so scared that someone might hear them do "cling" when they bounce into each other. I just made sure no one could hear anything. I was just being smart. So I follow Marissa and go under the stairs. There is a large refrigerator full of alcohol. Beers, coolers, vodka, wine... Well, a lot of things. I realize that tonight might be bigger than I expected.

The boys aren't supposed to show up before 8 o'clock so that gives us a girly afternoon. I love those kind of afternoons, where you just talk and chill. Weirdly, today it seems like we can't stop talking. We are never out of subjects of conversation and that is so fun. We talk about summer to talk about boys, to talk about sex to talk about the future... It's never ending. We are just a bunch of girls having so much fun together. What is so strange is that we are so different. But I guess, in a way we complete each other and we can make it work.  I remember when I first met my best friend, Lauren, how she was so shy and I was so extrovert for a 12 year old girl. We were just the perfect match and that match is still the same. Lauren became that amazing young woman who is not afraid to say what she wants. She's that incredible girl that will love you and will show it.  When I am around her I just feel good. I don't feel judged at all for being who I am and that makes me feel so comfortable.

I'm with her right now on a pedal boat in the middle of the lake. The other girls are around us in their own pedal-boats or their kayaks talking and laughing. I take off my shirt and my shorts to wear only my bikini that was underneath. I really want to get a tan this summer and the sun is now rising all above the lake. It was an awesome opportunity to show off my white skin to let it tan.

- oh my God, that's so a great idea!, says Lauren who is taking her shirt off.
- I know, I'm a brilliant girl. I thought you knew that.
- yeah right, she says with the most sarcastic tone in her voice.

She takes her long brown hair to make them into a high ponytail. She slowly lays down on her back, in the back of the pedal boat. I have to stay in the front so the boat don't crash. I am stuck in this stupid uncomfortable plastic chair while this bitch is laying down in the sun. She is so lucky that I love her. Anyway I can't support the sun for a very long period of time so I guess it is best this way.

- so, how is it going with your boyfriend? What's his name again?, I ask Lauren.
- you know what his name is...
- just say it again, I say trying not to laugh.

She just looks at me really annoyed but I don't care.

- it's Ralph...

This is the craziest thing ever. My best friend is Lauren and her boyfriend is Ralph. Putting these two names together that makes Ralph Lauren, a well known fashion designer that I like very much. I guess they just really match together, that's totally insane.
