Senior Year Checklist

Chapter 2

We pull up at Natalie's house

"Thanks for the lift" I tell him

"No problem. Do you need me to pick you up?" He asks me

"No Natalie's going to spend the night at our house so she'll just drives us. Thank though" i say as I get out

"Have fun with the jocks and cheerleaders" I wave

"Have fun with your Harry Potter marathon or what ever it is that you guys do" he waves back

I walk up to the front door and knock, Natalie's mom opens the door a second later.

"Hello Rose Come on in" she smiles

Natalie's family are a little bit different then ours they are more reserved and over achiever I mean they think a B is failing.

I walk up to Natalie's room and don't even bother knocking "I'm here" I say as I lay on her bed

"Well hello to you too" she laughs

Even though Me and Natalie are best friends we are different in many way, for instance there's me with my wavy blonde hair and more of a grungy appearance and her with her pin straight brown hair and button up sweater with a skirt. In personality wise I'm more out going and do like to try knew things while Natalie is shyer and more reserved.

"What are you doing?" I ask her as I notice she looking at some papers

"College applications" she sighs

"Stop stressing your the smartest person I know" I tell her

"I just have to get in"

"You will but come on its summer we have plenty of time to think about college and our future and all that fun stuff"

"Your right" she agrees and puts the papers away

"Do you realize summer is practically over" I say

"Yeah it went by quick" she says

"And what did we do?" I ask her

"Well" she says trying to think "we went to the mall and movies and uh" she says drawing a blank

"See nothing" I say dramatically

"Summer for relaxing anyway" she reassures me

"Is that why every single kid went to a party or went on a trip or something"

"And how do you know that?" She raises an eyebrow

"Called Facebook" I sigh

She walks over and plops on the bed next to me

"What's wrong?" She asks me knowing something bugging me

"It's just I don't know I watch everyone and they seem like they are having the time of there lives and making memories"

"Who is having the time of the life?" She says not believing that part

"I don't know people" I laugh

"Okay I think you been watching to many movies" she laughs

"Probably" I agree "It's still hard to believe this is are last year of high school" I shake my head

"I know it actually went by quickly and then who knows when we will see everyone again" she says

"I'm going to say something and you need to at least think about it" I say sitting up

"Okay?" she says slowly

"Why don't we make sure this year counts" I say getting excited

"How?" She says confused

"We make a list of everything we want to do this year and complete the list before graduation" I say

"A list of what?" She asks me still confused

"Whatever you have always wanted to do" I shrug not really knowing

I see she still looks unsure "just think about it" I say
