It was finally the last day of school, all the girls were hugging, everyone else was trading snapchats, instagrams, plans for summer. But for me and Alex we were just hanging out by the football field talking about life. When all of a sudden Mr. Perfect, Millie, and waste of space Claire.
" Hey beauties." Claire said in her preppy voice.
" Hey Millie, what bring y'all over here."
" Oh you know just wanted to say bye to all my friends before this dumb nut makes us leaves." Obviously talking about Claire. Just her name makes me wanna barf
"Well it was nice you thought of us, but now it's time to say goodbye because I'm leaving for good." Alex shouted
"Well duces." Chris said chuckling
"Bye guys see you in a couple months." I said as we were walking off.

As Alex and I walked home we talked about how we are going to be spending the next couple days. We decided that I would stay at her house all weekend and we would go to the lake Sunday and have a BBQ with both our families as a going away party. But when I got home all of that changed.

" Hey honey how was school." My dad said
" It was good. How was work."
" It was okay. I have a question."
"Shoot."
" Would you wanna go to the Bahamas."
" Yes, I mean I have been wanting to go for the past two years." I exclaimed
" Well I was able to score 4 tickets and a beach house from may 28th to the beginning of July would you like to go."
" But that's the day Alex is leaving. We were gonna stay with each other all weekend and I was gonna help her finish packing."
" You can still do that but you would have to come home Sunday night." He said trying to cheer me up
" Okay I guess let me go talk to Alex as get her opinion

As I treaded up the stairs I was thinking of what I was gonna tell Alex. I was excited about going but I was also bummed because we wouldn't be able to have the BBQ. As I got up to my room I threw myself on the bed and started to think. Soon after I fell asleep because I couldn't think of what to tell her.

I awoke to the screaming of Alex in my ear and Travis jumping on my bed.

“ Get up loser we're going shopping.” Alex yelled

“Why I'm not going anywhere.”

“ Yes you are your going to the Bahamas.” Travis screamed

 “ I'll go if we can get Starbucks on the way.”

“Fine.” Travis agreed

After 20 minutes of trying to find a parking spot we finally found one but it was far away from the store where we were wanting to go.

  “Ready.” Travis said as we were getting out of the car

 “Ready as I'll ever be. You guys know I'm not getting a swimsuit here right.” I said quietly

 “What!!! Why not, that's like the only reason we came. Ughhhhh” Alex screamed

 “I don't like people with me when I try bathing suits on or any clothes for that matter.”

 “Please just one shop and if you not like any of them we can leave.” Travis suggested

 “ Why not.” I said sarcastically

After 20 minutes of walking around American Eagle I couldn't find a swimsuit that I liked. I looked at blue striped, pink polka dots, and a black and white one and I STILL couldn't find one that fit my fancy.

 “Can we leave now.” I said tiredly

 “ One more store please” Alex begged

 “ Fine which one.”

 “ Hollister or Forever21?” Travis suggested

 “ Let's try Hollister.”

When we were walking to Hollister I almost died because guess who was making out right next to Hollister. You guessed it Clair and Chris. I wanted to puke again and i swear I felt the color leave my face.

 “You okay Rain.” Travis said concerned

 “No can we leave.” I say as I glare at Claire and Chris one last time, and as I did Alex followed my glare and gasped

 “You like him don't you.” She whispered in my ear.

 “Yeah I have liked him for awhile and the only people that knew was Amanda and Claire.” I said with tears in my eyes

 “ Why did you tell them.” She said with concern

 “ We were all friends before you moved here. Both me and Claire liked him but you wanna know something.”

 “What.”

 “When two girls like a guy, he always goes after the prettier one.” I said crying

 “What the hell is going on Rain. You haven't been yourself since you and Claire stopped being friends. I don't understand you used to be the strong, independent girl and now you stay at home eating ice cream and pizza while watching Netflix. You need to tell me what's going on before I tell dad.” Travis said before storming off

 “You gonna tell him.” Alex said curiously

 “I'll tell him when we are on vacation, so he doesn't punch someone.” I said sniffling

 “Okay. We should go wait by his truck.”

 “Good idea.”

When we got to his truck he was already waiting for us. It was a very awkward car ride home. When we got home Alex and I rushed up stairs to get my stuff to go to her house
