Kayla pulled into her usual parking spot at Harry’s. Her palms were starting to sweat and her stomach turn. She wanted to turn around and go home to her big, comfy bed. She forced herself not to. She knew once she went inside and sat down, her anxiety would quickly disappear.
She hopped out of her navy blue mini van, nicknamed “The Beast” just a year ago. She walked through the front doors of Harry’s. Her eyes looking at the floor the whole way to the booth her friends always sit in. Christine was already there waiting for her.
“Hey Kay! Already got our coffee ordered.”
“Sweet. We’re gonna need more sugar though.”
Kayla runs around to the nearest tables and collects extra sugar packets. The waitress sets two cups at their table and pours coffee into each cup. Kayla and Chris proceed to empty eight sugar packets and three creamers into each coffee.
Kayla grins, “Just the way I like it.”
“You girls are nasty.” The girls look up just in time to see Jesse slide into the booth next to Kayla. He laughs and pulls out three packs of Marlboro’s. He pulls out a cigarette, lights up, and puts one pack back in his pocket. The girls follow suit. Jesse has been buying their cigarettes for the last few months, since they aren’t quite old enough.
“So when are we going to finish our Bucket List, Kay?” Chris asks.
About a week ago Kayla and Chris made a Bucket List of all the things they wanted to do before they graduated from high school. They only had two weeks left to finish the list.
“Well,” Kayla says as she pulls the list out of her oversized, Spiderman bag, “we can do the bubble tape.”
Chris laughs, “Yessss! Let’s do it!”
