Graduation day:::

Stereophonics once said in a song “you gotta go there to come back” well…I’m going there, I just don’t know if I have the strength to come back. I feel like I’m making this huge mistake by leaving home, but I also feel like going to North Carolina is the only way I can do something with my life.

It was about a 5 hour plane ride…by the time we landed in North Carolina I jumped in a cab and went to my new apartment…my rooms mates seemed really nice, I mean it’s kind of weird not knowing them…but I’m stuck with them, so what I think doesn’t really matter…

The apartment was so nice, it was a nice flat I knocked on the front door…

Ashley: hey new roomies

I stuck out my hand…

Ashley: Ashley…Davies…

Katie: hey! I’m Katie and this is Brooke…

Ashley: hey…so this is my new place?

Brooke: oh yea…how much stuff do you have?

Ashley: not that much with me now, I shipped all my other stuff here…

Brooke: ok…well I’ll help you bring it in…

They helped me bring my stuff in then gave me a tour of the apartment…it was two floors and had 3 bedrooms and it was just amazing…we just chilled in the living room and got to know eachother…

Brooke: so you’re from California?

Ashley: yep…

Katie: why’d you come out here…

Ashley: just sick of it out there I guess…

Katie: we could have traded lives! I’m trying to get out there…

Brooke: yea…trying…

Ashley: yea well I’ve lived there my whole life, just needed a new start…

Brooke: you’re 18 right?

Ashley: yep…

Katie: awesome…I’m 19 and so is Brooke

Brooke: so you’re our baby hahaha

Katie: never say that again…

Brooke: sorry haha…so leave anyone back home?

Ashley: sister…but she’s 18 too and she’s going to UCLA for college so…yea…

Brooke: any boyfriends? Old flames?

Ashley: uh…girlfriend actually…

Katie: you owe me $10 Brooke!…oh sorry…we were betting on you being gay or not…

Ashley: uh ok?

Katie: oh no…nothing bad…we just bet on everything…

Brooke: so you left your girlfriend to come out to the Carolina’s?

Ashley: well we’re not really broken up…it’s uh…it’s more complicated than that…

Katie: oh…well you should fly her out here…she can come party with us…

Then Brooke’s phone rang…

Brooke: hello?…hey Rick…no…well our new roomie just got here…I dunno…don’t even try it…what time?…ok…yea…we’ll be there!

Katie: what’d he want?

Brooke: he’s playing tonight at the club…we’re all going, and you Miss Davies can see Night life here in your new home!

Ashley: awesome!

Katie: aight, well I have to go to work, but I will meet you guys at 6 for dinner?

Brooke: sounds good…

Ashley: ok..well I have to go call the girlfriend…

I went into my room and went out onto my balcony then called Spencer…

Spencer: hey you…

Ashley: hey…how are you?

Spencer: I’m ok…I miss you…

Ashley: I miss you too…

Spencer: how is it out there?

Ashley: different…it’s nice though…my room mates are cool…

Spencer: what time is it there?

Ashley: uh…3ish…oh man it’s like 11 at home…

Spencer: wow…that’s a big time difference…

Ashley: we’re gonna go out tonight and it’ll be like 3 in the morning and I’ll be wide awake…this is going to be so weird…

Spencer: you’re going out tonight…?

Ashley: uh yea, Katie and Brooke want me to get used to the night life here…

Spencer: oh…

Ashley: yea they told me I should fly you out here…

Spencer: why?

Ashley: they want to meet you duh haha…plus I get to show you off…

Spencer: …which you love doing…

Ashley: true dat…oh shit…I have to go my stuff just got here…but I’ll call you later ok?

Spencer: ok…

Ashley: hey…don’t sound so sad…

Spencer: I’m trying not to…

Ashley: well I WILL talk to you later…but I have to go…

Spencer: ok bye…

Ashley: Spencer…

Spencer: yea?

Ashley: I love you…

Spencer: love you too…

Ashley: bye
