"Thirty minutes left" I would be free from high school and off to a 40-hours a week paying job somewhere near the beach. Hey-I'm not complaining, it'll be nice to get some extra cash and maybe I'll even make some new friends or maybe even-

She kept going on and on about how excited she was and I just felt horrible I couldn't share it with her. I have known Katherine since I was around eight years old and she is my dearest friend, but ever since my parents passed I could never bring myself to be with her as I used to.
