All this Carmen experiences in her 15 days of finding herself!

 

I think you all know the quote salt n' sugar.

For me it is rainbow n' reality.

I came up with this theory in history class years ago and since then my goal is it to find the perfect middle between it. So I will not be too realistic and have no Imagination, but also that I will not live in my perfect pink unicorn world and ignore all my problems. With problems I do not mean something like you would expect, like my mother died when I was a little child or that I am suffering with bad depressions.

My problems are just basic teenager problems. That I blamed myself in front of the school hottest guy or also that I have not found out how to be famous in high school without being a cheerleader or having a secret hidden talent like playing the Violin perfect yet.

What just to be clear really sucks. But we all have to go through that and imagine how boring school would be without all the sport jerks or the mean girls, who argue with you if you accidently take the wrong bench, and yes that happened to me once.

Okay but if we would be honest it probably would be really cool, but since we aren't Cady Heron we just can dream.

However my personal opinion is you cannot get through high school without dreaming to be the crazy fangirl, who is one day recognised by her famous crush.

But if I would have to choose which my hidden talent was I would definitely say surfing, but do not panic I am also not that kind of tomboy who is being fancied by the surf boys.

But the real reason why I wanna make this trip is just...

Sometime I think I am a cursed child, because I feel like I am dead inside of me, because I have not felt alive at any point of my life, never really and that just freaks me out. Because I wanna feel this feeling and that's the reason why I am making this trick, to feel alive!

The important thing now is that I think I have been on the reality side for much too long and I really have to change that and get out here and feel alive again

"Like the air I breathe, I let you in..." my phone started to ring in my bag. I looked at it and saw that I already had six missed called from Eve, so I quickly picked up with a 'Hey, what's up?'

and just one second later she already started talking like a waterfall

"Carmen, why is your phone always turned off? ... Anyways, I just wanted to ask you if everything is ready for next week. I have already booked the surf workshop and we are also staying in the hotel, which is organising it and on the same beach."

"Yes I am ready and that sounds amazing, I will be at your place around 4 a.m., because if I am coming later I think there will be way too much traffic, since the summer breaks starts..." I said hoping she will be okay with that.

"Sure, I am so happy that you come and I do not have to go to Sydney by bus, even though you making a detour."

"No problem, Eve I have to go now. School starts in an hour." "Okay, have fun!" she replied.

"Ha ha, very funny, I just wish that we could start the road tour today." I grumbled.

"Only one week left and now go and get ready, see you."

Before I could replied she already hung off, so I decided to get ready, since I really do not have a other option.

7 hours later I left my school ready for my bed and food.

Of course I missed my bus and had to wait half an hour for the next one. As I opened the door of my room I went to my Calendar and made an X on today's field. 20 days left till I see Eve again.

I barely see her since me and my family moved from Canberra to Sydney, but we call each other every day or at least write on what's App. It was a hard time after we moved, but you know I also survived it and I have great friends here too, but the problem is most of them are twenty and are already working.

After I changed my clothes in some comfortable one's and got some food, I went to bed.

And so the days went on and on. Every day school and making X's in my calendar, till the last day of school came.

"All my friends are wasted and I hate this club and I drank too much." I sang loud, while driving with my BMW Cabrio on the highway ready to jump into the rainbow world again.

And no I cannot sing.

I left Sydney two hours ago, after I promised my mom a thousand times that I will be careful and will not do something stupid. I still hear my mother's words "Carmen, look at you all grown up and nearly eighteen, doing a road trip with her best friend. I am proud of you."

I know that sounds in some ways like a typical mom, but my mom was exactly the opposite. I mean, she gave me tips how we will get alcohol without getting caught. I know also sounds awkward, but she is a cool mom and she was always there for me.

When I arrived at Eve's place, I could barely speak, because of my great singing in the car, but I did not stopped me from screaming. "Carmen!!!" I heard someone shouting and in the next moment Eve was already in the car next to me hanging around my neck.

"I have missed you a lot."

I smiled "Oh, I have missed you too! I am so glad to see you again."

Are you ready for the best 15 days of your life?" she asked me, while she was putting on her glasses. I putted my hands on the wheel and said "I could not be more ready than now. Let's start this adventure, I would say and drive into day 1."
