Virginia's POV:
Virginia has just gotten out of school. It's the last day of school and she can't wait to finally be able to relax, stay up late for a change, and not have any homework to do. She gets excited when she's musing to herself "It's finally summer!" She is overwhelmed with the feeling of jumping into a pool with her bathing suit on. Gosh, she can not wait to get into that pool and feel the nice, warm water over her skin after so long. "Florida, here we come!" She has her whole summer planned out. But then something hits her, "Oh my gosh, I have my graduation tomorrow!" Just as that thought passes into her head, she realizes someone is sneaking up behind her, they know she's entranced by her own thoughts.
Jennifer: *taps Gin on the shoulder*
Virginia: *jumps* "Hey, Jen! You know you shouldn't scare me like that!"
Amanda and Jennifer: *laughs*
Jennifer: "Oh, but it's just so fun to fool around with you!"
Amanda: "Yeah, lighten up!"
Virginia: "You know what, it is kind of funny." *laughs awkwardly*
Amanda: "So, can you believe we're going to graduate tomorrow?!"
Jennifer: "Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that! Hey, will you guys come over to my house and help me decide what to wear?"
Virginia and Amanda in unison say "Of course."
Virginia: "But only if you help me."
Jennifer: "I'll come over to your house as soon as you finish helping me decide."
Amanda: "I'm not sure I'll be able to help."
Virginia: "Why???"
Amanda: "Well, what time are you expecting?"
Virginia: "Seven, eight?"
Amanda: "Oh, strike that, we'll be okay then."
Jennifer: "Do you now what you are gonna wear tomorrow?"
Amanda: "Yeah, I had it planned out for weeks now. The cutest outfit in my closet." Amanda always was like that. She knew when the get everything ready. I actually thought of it for a long time, but never finished that idea. I guess I was too focused on finals and summer thoughts to get out a graduation outfit.
As we approached a sea foam green house with white shingles, I stopped my friends and said my good-byes. It was my house.
Virginia: "Oh, that's my house. I gotta go. See you guys later."
Amanda: "See you!"
Jennifer: "Can't wait to figure out what I'll wear tomorrow!"
Virginia: *giggles* "See ya then, besties!"
As I left, I could hear Jen and Amanda trying to decide what to wear. They were talking about what was in Jen's closet. I hopped up my little hill to the front door. Finally home from the last day of school! I announced my arrival at the house "Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I dropped my bookbag in the living room of our house and went into the kitchen to see if I could go get a snack. As I walked around the bend into the heart of the home, I saw my parents whispering to each other. I was wondering about what. My Dad saw me and tapped my Mom on the shoulder, he smiled an usual smile at me. I became uncomfortable and intrigued.
Virginia: "Dad, what's going on?"
Dad: "Well, we have a surprise for you, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to know."
Virginia: "You tell me now! You know I'm not good with stuff like that!"
Mom: "I'm sorry, but it will be a better feeling tomorrow.."
Virginia: "Alright Parents, I trust you, I'll just try to cope with not knowing. I'll write about in my diary--which you know nothing about so..."
With spilling my secretive diary, I ran upstairs to my room to hide it in a different place. I jogged back down the stairs to finish my chat with my parents.
Mom: "You really look like you wanna know."
Virginia: "No, I'm good for now...I'll just wait until tomorrow."
Dad: "If you're sure."
The rest of the last day of school went by very slow as if to say "Gin, you'll just wait longer now." I got a little angry when that though passed through my head, Mother Nature doesn't want me to know for so long. So I didn't stay up late that night. I didn't want to extend the day even more than it already lingered on. I wrote in my diary right before I went to sleep. I listened to my iPod, some of my favorite songs, and then I gradually fell asleep. I had a great dream that night.
