chapter one - she was yellow

I arrived at the New York airport around 7AM on Tuesday
I was met by my friend who had held up my name on a piece of long rectangular card stock.
She smiled at me and ran towards me with her arms open.
I opened my arms, "Jenny!" I yelled before my voice hitched due to the girl that just charged into my chest.
We held each other for a minute before Jenny pulled away and held my arms out saying, "y/n, you look so beautiful!" She gasped and smiled to herself.
I wore a bright red crop top with a yellow floral pattern, my blue skinny jeans, and my old school vans. I've always liked bright colors, i always try to be a bright person
"Thank you, I can say the same to you. I can't believe how long it's been." I said
Jenny was my best friend in school, she's a year older than me and had a really bad home. We both saved up all we had so as soon as she turned 18 she could get out of there.
I looked at her outfit. She was always so beautiful, and stylish, she wore a striped romper with no sleeves, showing her beautiful figure. She was always really skinny but had a really nice figure. I was always tall and didn't really have a figure. Now, I was the same height as I was in high school, I had visible abs, and a fuller butt.
"Here, let me help you with your bags, my taxi is right outside waiting." She reached for two bags while I held two big roller suit cases with my backpack.
We got to the taxi and loaded it up with my stuff, then got into the car. Jenny gave the taxi cab driver an address, and turned to me.
"So, to start off, we're gonna set up your room. I already have the bed and the vanity up so all it's missing is your stuff. Then, tomorrow we're gonna go shopping and buy you a new wardrobe!!" The taxi cab driver gave her a small glance with a smirk on his face. She continued, "Then! we're gonn-" I stopped her,
"Wait, you're not spending all this money on me."
I held her arm, she smacked it away gently
"Y/n, I've been saving up money for this ever since I moved here." She said, smiling at me
She moved when she was eighteen, she's twenty four now, I was twenty three. Jenny made really good money, had a great job, and a nice big apartment.
She manages her money really well, so I believed her. She explained that any money we had left over we would save until we wanted to go on a vacation or buy a dog or something. I had saved up my money, too. I would've moved here sooner, but I wanted to finish school. It's really complicated.
"Oh, well so have I." I said
"Then money isn't a problem." She giggled and continued, "then! After you get all settled in, on Friday there's gonna be a huge party and we are for sure going."
We talked all the way back to her apartment.
The complex was stunning. I could only imagine what her place looked like. Jenny paid the taxi driver, and we took my bags up to her place.
Just as I imagined, her place was beautiful. So neat and clean. The atmosphere of the entire apartment was a very open, bright environment. The big windows complemented the white furniture, a very open place to breathe. She took me into my room. I gasped at the sight. It was a huge room with a walk in closet. The walls were painted white and the bed sheets were white as well, along with the vanity. There was a desk in front of the window, it was a clear glass and had drawers down the sides. It was a dream for me.
Jenny help my shoulder and said, "I bought that just for you."
I stared in awe, I'm an artist. That's what I do for a living. I graphic design logos and other things. Though it wasn't my dream job, it paid my bills.
"You make yourself comfortable and I'll make us some tea!" Jenny said, before hoping out of the room.
I walked around and into the walk in closet.
The closet was as big as my room I had at home. The carpet was a fluffy white. and the shelves were a light pinkish color. I for sure didn't have enough clothes to fill this thing up.
I stared to unpack. I put all my clothes in the closet, organizing by color.
I put my vans and my adidas superstars on the shelves, I only had three pairs of shoes, including the ones I'm wearing, I didn't have a problem with it. I put my socks into a drawer, then my underwear, and I stacked my bralettes on top of each other.
Once I was done with my closet, I started with my makeup bag. This is where all my money went.
The vanity was so big and still all my makeup couldn't fill it.
Then, I went to my new desk, I organized all my art supplies in the drawers and placed my surface pro that I use for work on the desk, right in the middle. I got up and grabbed my bookbag, then retreated back to my desk. I carefully pulled out a picture of our friend, Donovan, who had died when we were younger. I also put out a picture of my aunt Johanna.
I hung a couple of pictures and posters on the wall, and some fairy lights.
After my room was complete and was satisfied, I made my way on the bed and looked in my backpack. Inside was my sketchbook, my journal, my phone, and my apple laptop that I use for my personal things. I decided to fiddle with all those things later, so I grabbed my phone. I still had it on airplane mode. I put it in my back pocket and waltzed into the kitchen, to find Jenny fixing our tea, along with some lunch.
"Hey! I made tea like you like it. A tea spoon of honey, a tablespoon of sugar, and a half a teaspoon of lemon!" Jenny handed me my mug and I stirred it sound
"You remembered ! That's so sweet." I said and took a sip.
Jenny smiled and said, "I also made some fruit salad, you must be hungry."
I giggled "yeah I could use some real food instead of that gross airplane food." we sat by the counter for a while, talking about what we've been through since Jenny left.

Before we knew it, Friday was here
Tuesday we did go shopping, I definitely got enough clothes to fill up my closet, and some new shoes
Including some makeup and some new lingerie from Victoria's Secret
Wednesday we went around New York, got lunch, and just explored. She showed me all her favorite spots.
Thursday we stayed in and made her apartment our apartment. We rearranged things and danced around in our over sized t-shirts and socks
Jenny didn't have a boyfriend, neither did I. But Jenny deserved a really good one. She was such a good person
"Okay, so tomorrow we're gonna go get our nails done and I'm gonna get something done to my hair." She said, looking at her phone
I glanced up at her, "ooo is someone searching for a manszzz?" I joked
She pushed my shoulder and laughed, "hey you're getting yours done, too. Maybe you should search for a mansz, too"

Friday around 3PM we got home from doing our nails and hair. Ginny dyed her hair platinum blonde with the roots showing. She talked me into doing mine, too. So I did. Hehe

I cut all my hair off, right above my shoulders, and a fringe across my forehead right above my eyebrows. I dyed it a dark brown with an ombré light brown and blonde at the bottom.
My nails were a nude coffin nail, on my left hand my ring finger had a single jewel at the bottom. And in my right I had a single jewel in my pointer.
Once we got settled we decided to start getting ready. We both had bathrooms to go into so we went at our own pace. I took a shower and washed my left over makeup off. I slipped on a big tee to put on my makeup. Once I was done, I really liked the result. I had a bronze-nude eye with a wing, my eyebrows were definitely "on fleek," my highlight was shining so bright, and I topped it with a mauve nude lip.
I then chose my outfit.
I put together an olive green windbreaker, a nude tank top that was tucked into my white ripped jeans, and some olive green shoes. I curled my hair and I was ready by 8PM
I walked into the living area and Jenny was sitting on the couch, looking on her phone
She glanced up, "oh! Hey!" She hopped up, "okay so before we leave I have to give you this" she pulled a key out of a drawer that sat next to couch
"I'm giving you this now because I highly doubt we'll be coming home at the same time" she winked at me and I jokingly scoffed at her
"How are we getting there?" I ask, putting the key in my purse
"Oh my friends are coming to get us, they know the guy that's having the party." She said and grabbed her stuff, "they'll be here shortly."
