It hasn't hit me that school is over in the next two days. I can't even begin to think that four years has gone by in the blink of an eye.
I can distinctly remember sitting in my front yard eigth grade summer, with tortuga in company, talking about how great high school was going to be. We were going to have the time of our lives; make all of our best friends, go to a PARTY giggle giggle giggle, have real dances, real sports, and real boyfriends. Then some of us joined Cross Country, and one day after a trail run Gill and I met Layne and Katy. Things were falling in place, we were making our circle.
It is surreal to me that I can remember almost every detail of that like it was yesterday and to see the exact point where we are all at now. After all of the introductions and conjoining CC girls with our Akimel gang, we had S7. Possibly the most cliche thing you can do in high school is name your group, but we did it, and loved it. I mean, I have S7 shirts, CDs, ext...and I think at some point we wanted to make necklaces engraved with S7. Becca got a half a point once, but it still never really strayed from the core girls.
Trampoline talk after talk, things changed, and people came and went. Junior summer brought us into a group with actual BOYS. And at first I hated it, but now I couldn't live without them. We created our perfect senior year, had the best parties, the BEST dances, an amazing bball season, experienced heartbreak and love, and had the best best friends anyone could ask for. But, it was the year that we all really came together and put the shit aside.
I can't imagine recaping my high school experience because their are SO many memories that I love and cherish. I know that Cross Country showed me alot of who I am and what I can do, Student Council taught me to open up and get your shit taken care of. The only way I remember the past four years is with 9 amazing people. The core. The poeple that I will never ever forget. Jess, Matt, Layne, Gill, Amanda, Ash, KRO, Chels, and Katy. High school wouldn't have been the same without any of you, no matter where we are at now. I love you all and even though we will be spread apart in some short months, I would love to think that nothing will change that we had the time of our lives thus far. "We were young and in love"
