"Okay so we meet at 8:00 at the school. Then what?"
"Duh go to the party and have fun. You've gotta let it go Gretch. How long has it been since you oh I don't know had fun? Actual fun, because sitting around with me doesn't count."
"Okay you proved your point. I'll go but I'm not drinking and neither are you. I don't think I'll ever be able to drink again. I don't know when I'll be able to let you drink again either Caroline. Please don't push me. I have to figure this out in my own. Ok?"
"Ok Gretchen but we're still having fun, alright?
"Alright see you soon."
Yep I got wasted that night. Caroline talked me into it as usual. That's probably why I don't go to parties most of the time. I'm against drinking but I have a very persuasive best friend and she usually gets what she wants. Don't get me wrong, she's annoying as hell but I love her anyway.
Caroline and I have been best friends since 4th grade. We're inseparable and we're perfect for each other. She's brave and outgoing and strong and beautiful. I'm more quiet and calm and plain. But I'm happy with the person I am.
My life has been difficult for the past few months. My boyfriend who I've been with since freshman year, cheated on me with another one of my friends, Liz. Liz and I aren't all that close but it still hurt to know she betrayed me. Plus Nathan cheated on me. I was a dumb girl "in love". It never once crossed my mind that he would do that. I trusted him. I trusted him with my heart and he broke it. Shattered it. Into a million tiny pieces. But it's okay. Liz and him are a couple now and I'm okay with it. I've excepted the person she and him both have become and I've moved on. Things are looking up now.
