My Senior Year

chapter three

**best friends forever**

Bitch, wake up. Meet me at the cafe in 30.
    -Dee
I woke up to Dee's text and looked at the time.

Damn is she crazy. Its 9
O clock. Who the hell sends a text at 9 o clock on a Saturday! Oh yeah my best friend.  Yep. She crazy.

I rolled my eyes. Put my phone on my nightstand and resumed my sleep peacefully until...

Crissy! I know you probably just ignored my previous text. So I suggest you get your little ass up and meet me at the café or I'll come and do it myself...you better be waking up now
-Dee

I groaned in frustration as I woke up and headed to the shower.
I was done in less than 15 minutes and decided to wear my adidas sweatpants,  with my adidas grey sweater and
adidas takkies and cap.

Yeah I loved Adidas brands and I looked on fleek.

I decided to leave my strawberry blonde hair down. Checked myself in the mirror one last time before I headed downstairs.

*************************

" hey mom and dad. Bye Mom and dad.",I said rushing out of the house.

"Oh hey baby. Where you going?", my mom asked.

"I'm meeting Dracula in a few minutes from now. I'll be back probably 4 hours from now",I replied.

"Oh okay then. Drive safe."

"Bye mom."

I ran to my Mercedes Benz the destination being the café. I noticed that my father hadn't even uttered a word to me this morning. I put on some music hoping to lighten the load in my heart.

I have to fix things with my father. I hated fighting with him!

**************************
"Chrissy! Over here "

I heard a voice shout as soon as I entered the small café and immediately knew it was Dee.
I smiled as I made my way to her.

"Hey Dee",I greeted.

"Hey Crissy. My favourite friend of all.",she said dramatically.

I rolled my eyes because of her for the umpteen time." I'm your only friend Dracula."

"Yeah. That's why you're my favourite duh!"

I was about to comment on her stupidity but was interrupted by a smooth voice.

"Hi ladies .My name is Ian and I'll be serving you today. Would you like to order?"he asked politely.

Okay he was most definitely new. Dee and I have been here for years. This was our hideout. It had that homey feel and it was placid. Needless to say we knew every employee by name and this Ian was new coz this was the first time we were seeing and let me just say dammmn, he was fine.

"Uhh. I'd like a-a. I mean you, I mean we Uhh..nevermind"
 
Okay hold up. Did Dee just stutter... because of a boy... proof that miracles do come true.

I looked at Dee just to make sure I wasn't imagining things and Then came to her rescue.

" What my friend here means to say is that we  would like two thick strawberry milkshakes with extra cream" I said sweetly.

" Coming right up",Ian said, his eyes lingering on Dee as he left with our order.

"OMg! Dee you so like him"I squealed like a child with candy.

Hey you can't blame me. Dee and guys never really mixed. She always bickered with them. She always acted tough and here she was stuttering at the new boy. Drama!  I loved it.

" No I don't. Now can we please stop talking about him and spill all the details."She said sternly.
" What details?",I asked.

"Umm. Bitch you ignored me the whole of yesterday. Never even answered my calls so I want answers!",she exclaimed.

I knew my friend very well she was like a dog with a bone when she wanted something.  So determined!
"Here you go ladies ",Ian said saving me from Dee's wrath.

"Thanks",Dee replied.

"Soo, I hear you guys come here a lot so do you pretty girls have names?", he asked with a charm.

  Ooh. Smooth!

"I'm Criselda. Nice to meet you.",I said.

"Nice to know you to Criselda ",then he turned to Dee. Who I see was blushing at this moment.
" Uh, I'm Dracula ",she said softly.

" Beautiful name for a beautiful girl"Ian simply said as he went back to his job.

I turned to see Dee blushing even harder.

" We are never talking about this ever. Now spill" Dee said. 

   And she's back!

" Fine" I said as I told her everything. From my fight with my parents to my mom's words. She was listening attentively. One of the many things I loved about her.

"So..what have you decided",she asked after I was done with my telling.

"I don't know Dee. If I leave there are a lot of pros than cos but I don't want to leave you and my parents behind " I said speaking from my heart.

" Look Crissy I won't lie and say I won't miss you coz I will but this is an amazing opportunity for you and me as your friend is happy for you. Don't worry about me. We'll always be friends. We'll call daily and I'll come visit. We'll be together by heart anyway",Dee said as we hugged tightly.

"BEST FRIENDS FOREVER BITCH!" Dee said with assurance.
