Chapter 1
I never really had friends. It just really wasn’t an option for me. I was generally just a shy person. I’ve had only 2 friends since middle school. Those same 2 friends are still by my side. They remain, and I’m thankful for that.
My name is Rachael Chandross. I’ve always had issues with social anxiety, and making friends. My sister, and my friends have always been there for me. Today is my last day of high school. Believe me when I say this, I’m sure as shit not staying long after today. I’m packing up and moving the fuck out of my hometown in Michigan. My friends (I hope they come with me) and I have always talked about leaving. Back then it was just talk, but I promised myself it would be reality.
Gisele, Logan, and I were walking to our first period.
“Hey Rachael, do you remember that time my brother fell out the second story window in the 7th grade?” Logan asked.
Chuckling “How could I not?” I replied.
“He’s 14 god damn years old and it has happened yet again!”
I looked at Logan and shook my head and grinned. Before I left for Sunny San Diego, Logan, Gisele, and I were making our way to the all famous wonderful Warped Tour!
Also, our Warped date is also the day Gisele and Logan will be telling me if they’re coming with me. Once I get to San Diego, I’m hoping to go to UCSD to get my degree in Computer Science. With which I will apply at Rockstar Games San Diego for their opening in Multiplayer Systems Technical Designer.
I mean after all, I am 3rd in the country for Red Dead Redemption! Not to brag or anything, but I am Level 50 Legendary.
As we arrived at our first period we took our seats preparing for our last day of Senior Chemistry. Today was a half day, which means all of our classes are shorter and its basically just a day for our teachers to say goodbye and push us out the gates of hell. I’m just kidding! Or am I?
We had all our classes together except one. Gisele is smart, so she is in Advanced Calc, so Logan and I were stuck in our last hour without Gisele.
As the last bell rang, Logan and I walked out of class and awkwardly walked out of the school and waited near my truck for Gisele. Gisele came out, and we all just were standing by my dads old pickup. We all started squealing and hugging. Me being freaking short as crap, I was just awkwardly sort of under the hug..
We were driving to my house and they both interrupted my driving focus.
“Rachael we’ve got something to tell you” Gisele said so excitedly.
“What you need my hoe?” I replied.
“Hurtful!” Gisele said.
“Stop being so butthurt and freaking tell me!” I said.
“Fine! Logan and I couldn’t wait until Warped so I’m telling you now. We’re coming with you to San Diego!”
