Journal Entry 2: Aspen

I've been home for a good two months now and I am still beyond happy to be back with my family. It was the middle of the semester when I had to come home from my New York college due to an incident that had occurred between me and the dean but like I always say we will get into that another time. Normal people in my situation will be partying and hanging out with old friends,...as for me I stay at home and write because it's the only thing that I really want to really do. 

When the new spring semester starts I will be at Portland State University. I am excited and very nervous all in all.  TBH I don't know how to feel this is so stressful

*Ding*

Keva: Hey girl I heard you were back and you didn't let your best friend know. :( RUDE!!!!

Keva or K for short is my best friend I meet her when I was at a makeup Convention back in 2018 with my sister...weird right anyway she is a fireball like literally, she has bright ass red hair and she loves her red cherry bomb lipstick. Red is kinda her thing she likes to think of herself as the "in her voice" "real-life Cheryl Blossom" if you know you know.  How we meet I will get into that another time as for now I have to see what she wants she will probably be calling......

*Phone rings* "KEVA"

What did I say? 

"Hello Ms. Keva," I said with a soft quiet voice 

"I have come to the conclusion that I HATE you" Keva shouts on the phone.

"Like really I hate you, Aspen who doesn't let their best fucking friend know that they are home, Oh and not only that but you have been home for 2 months.......explain to me how that works" Keva yells with I think is food in her mouth. 

"Ugh I know I'm sorry," I say with sincerity in my voice 

"I swear I was going to tell you I was just......Just busy is all" I say biting my lip trying to save face with her.

"Busy.....with what reading your love novels," she says mockingly.

Yes.....yes, I was but I wasn't going to tell her that. 

"Ummmmm......no not exactly I have been busy with something else," I say know I'm lying straight out of my ass. 

"OOOOOOO....something or someone???" Keva laughs 

She had no idea that I was a virgin she thought that I've had sex before because I told her about my ex so I guess she just assumed that we did. I didn't correct her idea of me either. 

"No Keva I was doing something, not someone"

"Something like a toy...OMG you've been using your toy I brought you" She shouted

"NNNNNOOOOOOO I haven't trust me,"  I say embarrassed 

And it was true..I haven't. For my birthday Keva brought me this.....pink lipstick shape vibrator.....I mean it's the thought that counts right. 

"Girl what!!! you better bust that shi...." 

"Okay...Okay, let's change the subject please" I interrupting her clinging my teeth hoping that she reroutes her thoughts.

"Why exactly did you call I know it's not just because you missed me"

"Oh yeah okay so, there is this party that we are going to" 

"A wh...A party Keva no I can't go to a party" I stutter 

"Yes you can and you will... It's like a little bonfire just me my boy toy for the time being and some other peeps you will love it."

"I don't know"

"Aspen listens to me are you going sit to your little cute ass in your house forever and read your love novel and write in your journal or are you going to live? Look, your back from New York and you have nothing to do so get your ass up and have a little fun" Keva lectures me 

I mean she's right what can go wrong it's just a bonfire right, that's why I responded with...

"Okay, I will go." 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH yes bitch that's what I'm talking about get up and get ready and I will be there to pick you up at 8 pm SHARP!!" 

"Wait what should I wea--....."

"BEEEEEYYYYYY"

*BEEP* *BEEP*

And then she hung up. I was thinking what the hell was I supposed to wear to a bonfire.....I have never been to a "party" before like ever. My mom has never let me even step in an elementary party let alone go to a bonfire, but I mean I'm 19 I'm an adult I should be able to make my own decisions right? 

I tried to give myself a little pep talk it's just a get-together, it's going to be okay it's not like it's going to be some life change experience. Right? I should get ready and stop writing until next time Journal.
