This is the new Julie:
I go to parties and to the club, I have lots of friends, and I hang with lots of boys. I am fashionably rude. I am a person that people like, that I like.

I've stopped being scared and shy.
No more miss nice girl.
No more miss boring.
From now on I am queen of the world.
That starts now. In this very moment, as I am calling Emma, my friend.

" hello?" She answers " Julie, are you there?" She asks
" yeah, sorry" I said
" we're on our way to the airport now, are you on your way?" She asks.

Here it goes..

" I'm not going" I say. My voice is small and hesitant. I need to speak louder.
" I'm sick" I almost yelled.
" oh" she says, sounding kind of relieved. " what have you got?" She asks.
" I've got the flu, like really bad, I have a fever and I'm constantly throwing up" I say, trying to sound convincing.
" throwing up?" She ask
Ok, mabye that was a little too much. Do you even throw up, when you have the flu? Well, there is no turning back now.

" yeah, I was coughing constantly last night and then suddenly... I just threw up"
" oh, poor you, I hope you feel better" she said and it actually sounded like she felt bad.
" thanks, I'll see you when camp is over?" I asked
" yeah, bye"
"Bye"

I jumped up and down.
I actually managed to convince her.
Now I just have to convince mom and dad.
I hear my mom from the bathroom. She washes her hands, the door opens and I get ready to tell her.

" Emma called, her mother had mixed up the time when the plane leaves. It doesn't leave until two." I say
" two?!" Mom says panicking a little.
" but don't worry, they are coming to pick me up, so you can just go"

From the living room I hear dad walking towards us.
" we can catch a later plane" he says
" no! I'll be fine, really! You can go" I said trying to convince them not to stay.

" fine, but stay away from the stove, we don't want you burning the whole apartment down" she says.
They start gathering their things and soon they are out the door.
" bye honey, we love you" they say on the way out.
" bye, have fun" I smile
" we'll call you every other day, okay? So you better pick up, when we call you" she warns me.
" yeah I will, bye" I hear them leave.

It gets quiet. I'm in the mood for a bath, with the door open, and music on in the living room.
But first I need to makes a list over all the things I need to get done. A week is a short period of time to stop being so fucking blind.
