It's eight o'clock and I'm excitedly pasting up and down my bedroom while I wait for my phone to buzz, finally I get a text, were here, come open the door I rush to the door and open it and start screaming like a lunatic. My best friends from the seventh grade are here.

"Hi girls" my mum greets them with a hug

"Hi Mr and Mrs porter"

We run to my room, Sophie trips and falls to the ground, Ella and I start laughing our heads off. Ella and Sophie are cousins but look totally different, Ella has long, gold luscious hair with beach waves and the prettiest brown eyes, she's short but feisty. Sophie has short brown wavy hair, her eyes are like a swimming pool of honey and she's the clumsiest person ever.

We all talk about how much we've missed each other since senior year. We get in our pyjamas, brush our teeth, do our skin care and climb into bed, I get my phone and we FaceTime our other best friends, after the third ring violet picks up. Violet, Mia and Evelyn all squish their heads to fit in the FaceTime camera, Ella, Sophie and I do the same. We all talk about how were going to our dream colleges and accomplishing our dreams. All six of us girls are in relationships, Violet has been in hers for two years and so has Evelyn, Mia has been with her boyfriend since the end of seventh grade and Sophie, Ella and I have had boyfriends for a year and a half now. After talking for an hour we hang up and Ella, Sophie and I all pack our suit cases and boxes, finally we can go to sleep.

  I don't sleep though, I stay up all night talking to my boyfriend, well at least trying to, his eyes are bloodshot red and it doesn't even sound like his talking English, his had a drinking problem in the past but I thought we fought through it, after he falls asleep I hang up on his face and start to cry, I hope this is a onetime thing I think to myself, I finally fall asleep at five am.

"Girls" my mum calls my best friends and I, we jump up look at each other and squeal, I can't believe this is it, me and my best friends are going to our dream college.

"Hannah, were you crying last night?" Sophie asks

"No I wasn't"

"Don't lie to us" Ella adds

"Okay yes I was but only a little"

"Well we know you were on the phone with your idiotic boyfriend" Ella claims

My best friends think my boyfriend is toxic, his cheated on me in the past, but only because he was drunk.

"He was drinking again, wasn't he?" Sophie asks

But before I could answer there's a knock on my door.

"Girls, have fun on your first day, call me when you get there and tell me how it is" my dad says in his thick European accent I get out of my bed and hug my dad tightly and he kisses the top of my head

"Bye dad I love you, have fun at work"

"Bye Mr. porter" Sophie and Ella wave goodbye

He closes the door, we all start jumping up and down screaming, we quickly get dressed. I throw on some baggy mom jeans a black tank top and pair it with my favourite star choker and doc martins and I throw my hair in a messy ponytail. Ella puts on her army green crop top, dark denim high waisted skinny jeans, she puts her air Jordan's on, curls her lashes, puts some lip-gloss on her lips and she keeps her hair down. Sophie puts on her light blue jeans, her grey Adidas top, pairs it with her air force ones, leaves her hair down, her curls are almost perfect, she also curls her lashes and puts lip gloss on. We brush our teeth and head down stairs to eat breakfast.

"I hope you all didn't stay up all night" my mother says

"We actually got a lot of sleep, well at least Sophie and I did, I don't know about Hannah, you know how she's always staying up till four am doing who knows what"

My mum laughs and I look at Ella and give her a mean look to tease her

"Thank you again Mrs. porter for letting me and Ella sleep over"

"Don't be silly girls, you know you're always welcome and it makes my life easier driving you all to college"

We get our stuff and put it in the trunk of my mum's car. I start the car, and play our "going to collage playlist" that we've had for almost 3 years. My mum comes in the car and rolls her eyes as we are blasting our music and singing our lungs out.
