I was running down the street as fast as I could, beads of sweat dripping down my forehead. I didn't even notice the gorgeous sunrise, all I was focused on was beating my fastest time. As I quickly stopped at the end of my driveway I looked down at my phone and saw 7:42 "Ugh!" My fastest mile was 7:00. Disappointed I walked into my house and up to my room to take a shower.
After my shower I blow dried my hair and did natural makeup while listening to my favorite band Why Don't We.
When I finished my hair and makeup I made my way to the closet picking out black ripped jeans, a blue crop top, and white slip-on vans.
I looked at the clock on my nightstand, 7:30 am. I sighed as I grabbed my backpack and made my way downstairs. "Bye mom, love you!" My mom suddenly appeared in the kitchen "Bye Grace, have a great day!"
When I got in my car I plugged my phone into the AUX cord and started playing "Say My Name" (2000s songs are bops lmao)
"Get in loser we're going shopping." I said to my best friend as I pulled up to her house.
3rd person P.O.V
Grace has been driving her best friend Nicole around for the past two years. Nicole can drive but she's not to good at it.
Grace's P.O.V
"You know it would be nice if you drive yourself to school sometimes?"
"You don't remember what happened the last time I drove?" Nicole said
I sighed "Poor cat." I started to fake cry.
"Ha ha very funny. Besides it's the last week of school, and then we're gonna run off to L.A together and start the rest of our lives. You'll be doing cross country and I'll be hanging out with hot guys at the beach." Nicole replied with a horrible wink.
I scoff "No you're gonna be studying. With me. I don't even know if I got onto the cross county team."
"Fine. But you're still driving me."
"Whatever you say." I said with a laugh.
(Time skip to after school bc I'm lazy)
As the final bell rang Nicole and I ran out of the building to get home as fast as possible so we can finish packing because our flights leave at 8am tomorrow morning.
"You ready Nikki?"
"Very, you?"
"I feel like I'm gonna barf. What if I travel all the way across the country to do cross country and I don't even get on the team?"
Nicole scoffs "Please! You're the fastest runner in the state! They'd be fools not to pick you! Fools!" She says dramatically.
I can't help but laugh.
"That's bit of an overstatement."
3rd person P.O.V
Grace has run race after race trying to get the fastest mile in the state.
Graces P.O.V
(Day of flight)
6am: "Grace hurry up we're gonna be late!" I heard my mom yell from the kitchen.
"Coming mom! I yelled as I finished packing up my clothes.
(Time skip to airport bc I'm lazy)
As we drag our suitcases through the airport trying to find our gate, we finally find it and sit down.
Our parents are driving moving trucks to L.A and it will take them about a week. So when we get there we're going to be staying with out family friend, Jenna.
"I'm super nervous!" I whisper yell to Nicole.
"Me too!" She whisper yells back.
"Why are we whispering?"
"Because it's fun?" Nicole whispers.
We both burst out laughing as our parents walk up to us.
"Well I guess this is goodbye for a week." My mom says with tears in here eyes.
"Guess so." I say holding back tears.
"Bye princess I'll see you in a few days. Don't be going out and getting drunk." My dad says trying to be stern but comes off as sarcastic.
We all laugh. After we finish saying goodbye to each other Nicole and I part ways with our family and get on the plane, ready to start the next chapters of out lives.
