it was the day after zion dropped me.
the day after my birthday.
the best birthday gift goes toooooo zion kuwonu!

"olivia, get in the car!" my best friend, francine, screamed.

i got in her car and we drove to school. in case you didn't know, im in college. baylor proud! ever since i was a kid, i've always wanted to be a surgeon, and i've finally decided a specialty, cardio!

"so, since today is friday, and yesterday was your birthday, and since we couldn't do anything yesterday due to tests, I was thinking, after school, we fly out to nyc. dina's friend, maggie, is having a party there in her apartment, and since we have nothing to do, why not go over there for the weekend?" francins finished.

francine and i met here in baylor. we were roommates and been close ever since we met. dina is her friend, who is also one of my friends today. dina was a famous singer who dropped out of high school to reach her goal.

"sure, i'm down," i agreed. "so, you know how i told you about my best friend zion right?" "oh, that fine guy who you never shut up about? wasn't he your first crush? studies show that you will always have a crush on your first crush no matter what." she winked at me.

"ha, no. it's nothing like that anymore. he dropped me to focus on his career." she looked at me with her jaw dropped. "and you just let him?" "of course not! i put up a fight but he said he can't keep the person he loves most around him because i'd be distracting him from his career and whatnot." "girl, if you love him, don't put your guard down." "yeah, but maybe it was for the best. he'd be focusing on his career and i'd be focused on my career. and i'll never see him again in my life anyways."

"never say never."
