JENNIFER'S PERSPECTIVE
Hurry up Nikky!," I yelled form outside as I climbed into our brand new van. Five months ago my best friend Nikky and I decided it was time to get out of the oh so boring town of Kingston Ontario. We wanted to move to a warmer climate to start over, and prove to our very over protective parents that we could make it without the constant help of their gold cards. Not saying we were going to give them up, I'm mean we have to have something to start us up! Nikky and I had been friend we had met in grade 1, and she shared her peanut butter and jelly sandwich with me. Nice girl eh? Anyone could win me over with peanut butter and jelly, but only a really cool person can keep my friendship. I could tell her anything and she would always keep it a secret. So when she asked if I would take a possibly permanent trip to Florida with her a couple weeks before graduation I agreed. We were both 19 and had just finished high school. I wasn't sad to see it end because it was the start of freedom for Nik and I. I had always had dream of getting out of Canada, but had never thought it would actually happen. But on this warm Autumn day in September we were getting ready to start our new lives. I thought getting out of here before Christmas was going to be east but not when you have Nikky around. "I'm coming, hold on!," Nikky finally yelled back.
"You've already packed your whole house in here, it's like we're not coming back," I said laughing as she came out of the house with about ten bags!
"Maybe we won't," she said seriously. I gave her a look as she broke out in a smile. I had dreams of not coming back until we were super successful so we could prove to our ULTRA-successful parents that we could do it to, but sometimes I doubted myself. "I mean come on Jen, we've always dreamt of meeting Nick and Brian of the Backstreet boys, marrying them as THEY become rich and famous and then living in comfort for the rest of our lives," Nikky recited our favourite dream.
"You make us sound like gold diggers!," I exclaimed.
"I guess," she giggled.
"Oh dream on Nikky, you'll never meet Brian as long as you live, I always thought you were more of AJ's type anyways," I replied.
"Yeah maybe, what does it matter, you and Nick would go together so well because your both so immature!," she said, she ducked into he car before I had the chance to slug her. We continued to talk excitedly the whole trip. We travelled day and night for 3 nights, taking turns ant the wheel. When we got there we took a few days to find a place. Since our families were quite wealthy we were able to afford something really nice. It was a first floor apartment with 4 bedrooms, full furnishing, pool, and everything. We were going to paint it and fix it up once we got jobs. I was really interested in singing and Nikky was really into acting so we both applied for jobs at Disney world. It was amazing because neither of us had been there before.
About two weeks after we got settled we were in need of guys. It may sound harsh but before we decided to leave we both broke up with our steadies because we really wanted to live it up in Florida. "Damn, I need a man," Nikky said and I nodded in agreement.
"Let's go clubbing," I suggested getting excited.
"Good idea, I'm borrowing your little black dress," She told me, rushing over to my closet.
"Which little black dress I said with a sly smile on my face.
"The shortest," we both laughed.
We got a all made up and put about a million sparkles all over our bodies. We were ready to party. I had a feeling something was going to happen tonight. A feeling.
