The breeze was chilling and relaxing over our hot skins that had been bathed all day in the sun. We had been driving for about 4 hours now, conversation had run out a while ago and we now where getting agitated both by how tired and by how hungry we were. The next rest stop would not be for another hour or so. So as we cruised over the water’s edge from the sea below us I left my mind adrift.

It had been my idea to take a road trip. It was our senior year now and we were about to leave each other for our different universities. We wouldn’t be seeing each other for another 3 mouths- that is if we were lucky- so I decided to do this, take a trip to the Cape as it would be our first one and be that as it may we would celebrate it like no other.

We had finally done it. We had finished high school and where now what we had always wanted to be FREE. Free from all: the constant stress from everyone and everything to be perfect, the constant annoying nagging of our parents always breathing down our necks about having to amount to the dreams they dreamt for us, and above all the overly annoying younger siblings we had. We were finally allowed to make our own decisions without the constant arguing with our parents debating back and forth about what was right about OUR futures.
