Chapter 2

After we got in, we pulled on our pajamas quietly and got into our air mattresses on the floor.

* 2 hours later*

I woke up to the loud sound of chirping crickets and frogs at 4 in the morning. I couldn't sleep at all, and Laura was dead asleep, snoring, next to me. I got up slowly and made my way to the window. the moon was full tonight, and the stars shimmered brightly. I started to sing quietly to Wake Me Up by Avici, sitting on the windowsill.

It soon became lighter outside, an Laura woke up, yawning. "how long have you been awake, Jenny?" I turned. "I don't know, probably an hour or two. yeah wait, since 4." she just looked at me. "dude, you've got to get more sleep! you pretty much just drag yourself around every day." I srugged and asked, "what time is it?" she grabbed her phone and said, "6:32, mom and dad are about to wake up, let's get dressed fast."

We forced on frayed shorts and tank tops, brushed eachothers hair, and put it in a right side French braid. "Laura," I spoke up while we listened to music and just stared up at the ceiling. "yeah?" she said. "what did Wes say about you guys going out?" Laura paused the music and said, "oh, he asked if I wanted to go to dinner with him tomorrow night. I said yes so were like, together now." she lay there just smiling. "cool." i said. "yeah, well what about you and Keaton, looks like something."

"Well, don't say to anyone, but like, we'll tell Drew and Wes tomorrow. were going to the beach tomorrow afternoon and Keats is going to bring cookies," I laughed, remembering how he said it, like I could possibly say no to him. Laura broke down laughing. "OMG, wow, wow. he said that!? hahaa!" I just looked at her like she had problems, rolling around on the floor like that.

"Dude, it's not that funny," I said. "sorry, sorry ahhh.." she sat up finally. "we better go make mom and dad breakfast. get some more brownie points maybe." Laura nodded, and we walked quietly downstairs.

The food was set out on the counter, the smell always wakes my parents, so we just leave it there, instead of waking them, because the last time we did that, we got yelled at, and beat. we know we shouldn't have to go through this, but there's nothing we can do.

We left a note next to it, saying we were running to the store to get groceries. I grabbed the keys and the both if us hopped into our beat up Explorer.

At Walmart, we ran in, got everything, and quickly came out, not wanting to waste time. We stumbled, loaded with things. Laura climbed in as I put the stuff in the trunk."Jenny, I know he doesn't care, but c'mon, lets just take a quick look at Forever21, please?" I sighed, turning the key. "fine, but do you have any money?" she pulled out her purse, opening it to reveal 250 bucks. my jaw dropped in awe and I exclaimed, "where did you get that!!?" she smiled and closed it. "my job I've been working at for 4 months," we made our way out of the parking lot and I turned to Forever21. "McDonald's." I laughed and said, "really? wow girllll, what has been your job?" Laura then took out an id from her bag. "assistant manager,"

"Niceee," I said. "come on, let's get you a dress for your date BESTFRIEND!"
