The Golden Angel [COMPLETED]

A Three Day Weekend

5:15 AM, It was still dark outside, dew glistened on the grass and it was humid out. Tightening my shoe laces and turning my iPod on shuffle, I stretched out my arms, neck and legs. I began jogging down my street making four lefts and two rights and then another left ending up at an abandoned pasture held closed by a rusted out metal gate. I hopped the gate and began my four laps at a full sprint around the perimeter of the field. When I got back home I made breakfast, showered and finished packing my things for school, but when I went to start my car, it wouldn't start. I had got my car when I first started driving at 15, the dealer ship said it was in perfect condition, and it was, until a week after we bought it. It started having all the problems that could possibly go wrong with a car.

I hate to do this but I called my boyfriend of two years, Logan. He told me he was sick and really shouldn't be driving, he apologized and we hung up. Sighing I went back inside and plopped myself the couch and turned on the T.V. My German Shepard Loki jumped up on the couch with me and rested his head on my lap. "Guess I'll be spending the day with you boy. A three day weekend might just do me good."

It was around noon when my phone rang. I picked up without looking to see who it was, on the other end was a very furious Amber. "AIMEE! WHERE ARE YOU!?" She shouted and I had to hold the phone slightly away from my ear so my ears wouldn't bleed.

"I'm home" I said calmly.

"HOME!? WHY ARE YOU HOME? You're supposed to be in school with me!" She said

"Amber calm down, my car wouldn't start, Logan called in sick, and Katie's still in Maine." I say. My parents were out of town, again so they couldn't drive me and plus it was a Friday, and I knew we wouldn't be doing anything important today, we only had two weeks left of school, what harm could one day do? "Hey, wait. We should be in seventh period right now, how are you talking to me?" I realized.

"I'm in the bathroom" she shamefully admitted. I heard a teachers voice in the background, "Miss Ross, get back to class and give me your phone, you can have it back at the end of the day!" She said in the distance. "Yes Mrs. Fields, sorry. Good bye mom, talk to you later" She said and hung up. Smooth cover up Amber.

The doorbell rand and Loki shot his head up and gave me a confused look, of which i returned and he started howling and barking on his way to the door. When he reached the door he began whining. Standing at the door was Logan with a bag of Mexican food from my favorite place. I opened the door confused. When he told me he called in sick he wasn't kidding, he looked horrible! "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I brought food" he said holding up the bag and stepping inside.

"Yeah, I see that," I say closing the door behind him "I thought you said you felt too sick to drive?" I asked

"Well, it came time for lunch and I had nothing in my house to eat and I knew you wouldn't have eaten either so I thought what the heck and got us some food" he smiled.

We watched a movie while we ate and half way through I got up to take our stuff to the trash and let Loki out. When I got back Logan asked me about my trip to Haiti Katie and I were going to take near the end of school. I pondered on the question, sure I was really excited but I would be gone for two weeks and that's the longest I've been away from Logan and my family. "I can't wait, I'm super excited actually" I managed to say. "I think I have a food coma" I say getting a sick twisted feeling in my stomach and ran to the bathroom to throw up. The only medicine I managed to find was something for the night time so it would make me drowsy. I took it anyways and the drowsy effect kicked in quickly, I had asked Logan to stay until I fell asleep.

I ended up falling asleep in my own bed, at least I think I did, or Logan put me there I'm not sure. All I know was that Logan was gone, which he didn't need to stay anyways. The rest of the day I stayed in my room, I only came out to make myself dinner. I stayed in my room all the next day and didn't even respond to any texts from Katie, Logan or Amber.

The next day Amber came to check up on me, she found the spare key to my house and let herself in. She tried to make plans with me to go to the movies or at least the mall with her but I refused. Behind my back she had called for Logan and Katie to come over, she planned for them to help drag me out of bed, and that they somehow managed to do. Katie came up with a plan to race me, if I won, I could stay home but if she won I would have to go where ever they asked me to go. I agreed thinking I would have the upper advantage on Amber, though we both ran in track since middle school, I ran every day and she was better at more of a short distance run then a long distance run.

Katie drew a starting line/finish line with a purple piece of chalk one of my little neighbors was using. Logan counted down and Amber and I took off at a full sprint. I was ahead of her for most of the time. The only rule was no short cuts so we could play as dirty as we liked, near the beginning she tried her best to kick and trip me so she would win, bless her heart but that wasn't going to happen. About half way it began to thunder, lightning and pour down rain. Amber directed me to the neighborhood parks gazebo to take cover. We stood there for a few moments and in those moments I decided to re-tie and tighten my shoes, and that was Amber's cue. A dirty trick she played, taking off ahead of me. It was close in the end but sadly the victory went to Amber, Katie and Logan.

We all climbed into Katie's Black Purple mustang and set off for the movies. We ended up seeing three different movies because the people don't check screen rooms or keep track of who come in and who goes out, so we got away with it. After that we went and got some lunch and went shopping at the mall. Logan practically bought me everything I laid my eyes on with no exceptions. But hey, our parents were rich, therefore we were, so there were no problems. Amber drug us into Macy's to try on dresses for fun, which was a bad idea in the first place. The mall wasn't all that crowded so we put on a fashion show for each other and some of the people that worked there in the dressing rooms. I'm pretty sure one of them made a video of it and posted it on the internet.

I ended up falling in love with a white dress that had glitter and silvery beading in swirls from the waist up and puffed out a little at the bottom. Of course Logan ended up buying it for me but he wouldn't let me have it. It got late by the time we got back so we all ended up crashing at my house. All three girls ended up somehow in my bed and Logan took the floor.
