Journal Entry #2

The night is young and Megan and I begin to get ready. Blush powder and Kenra brand hairspray fill the air. We both take a step out of the room to catch a wimpse of fresh air. The radio begins to play one of the hottest songs out there and we jump up and begin dancing and singing along. The rest of the girls keep texting us saying that we are late. We quickly dress ourselves in the latest fashion and throw on a few beaded accessories. As we head out the door Megans mom yells a curfew, but of course we "don't hear it".
Driving down the road we become excited and anxious to get to dinner. We blare our favorite music on the radio and dance while carefully driving. The text messages keep flying into my inbox with rude messages, "you better be here soon". I reply politely letting the other groupies know that we are on the way and to hold their horses, I mean the birthday girl is allowed to be late, fashionably late that is.
Finally we find a parking spot miles away from the restaurant. We hurriedly run through the parking lot to meet the girl a few minutes, more like fifteen minutes, late. As we turn around the corner we run into two slow walking guys. The four of us stop in our tracks and I get this "hello what are you thinking" look on my face. The guys take a look at us and smile. Megan and I smile back and accept each others apologies. Those guys were not only beautiful but sweet as can be. This little incident of course made us eighteen minutes late which by then we didn't care.
Approaching the table full of our closest friends Megan takes a deep breathe and takes another step forward to be surprised by the yell of, "Happy Birthday Megan!" Her body jumps and she has the biggest grin on her face. Everyone was there, dressed to impress and happy as can be. Besides the fact that I was jokingly yelled at for making the birthday girl late, everyone was glad to see me too. The dinner plans turned out amazing and the food tasted fantastic. I was so happy to make Megan's birthday an extravaganza. This is something she really needed, Megan had had a rough year with her parents and the, what we now call, LAMO boyfriend, Megans smile needed to be rejuvinated.
