I wake up feeling cold, I look around and wonder where I am, then it all comes back....it all started Friday evening, I was in my front yard reading peacefully when I heard my friend kayla yell "SODAPOP"(yes I'm named after a kid from the outsiders, I don't mind though it is an amazing story and I am very careless like him, but I'm a chick) I jump up and drop the book, I run up to her hugging her, "wanna spend the night?" I excitedly screech yes!. It was already about 8 and getting dark so we set off to her house. when we get there she immediately pulls me into her room and comes up with the "best" idea ever, more like the worst. It was "wanna sneak out and run around town and see if there is any parties after my parents go to bed?" I jokingly punched her and said quiet enough so no one could hear "duhhh"
She smirked and we walked out of the room like nothing happened. Over the next few hours we were both getting ready and I have to admit I looked pretty good, I looked really emo as always, and she looked preppy? I don't really know, it was about 10 when we left. The air was crisp and fresh. I was smiling out of control, we started running down the street laughing and goofing around, about 2 blocks later I had to stop, and I saw that kayla had a proud look on her face, I, confused said "whats got you so proud" she looked at me "well soda, I managed to get us some money" I chuckled and replied with "for what?". "I don't know...." she started thinking out into space, I nudged her "c'mon let's go downtown" she snapped out of it and nodded. We walked and talked about normal teenage drama and looked at the zooming cars around us, feeling my long black hair blow in the light wind, after like half an hour we made it down town, let me explain what my down town looks like, there is one busy street down the middle, a bridge and board walk and you know the stereotypical down town like places in books with like tons of lights and small shops and pubs on each side?, it's like that. As we walked down Kayla looked at me and quite bubbly said "there is a club in marysville (next town over), wanna go?" I thought about it and eventually said "how will we get in? We arent 21 and how would we even get there, it's a bit far to walk." She didn't respond before grabbing me and dragging me to the bus stop across the street. She then got out her phone and dialed what I'm guessing is the bus station to ask for a bus to come here. What she said confirmed my hypothesis, "hello, can we have a bus to come to 21st street buss stop?, uh huh, okay, thank you" she smiled. "Welp now we have a bus". me being carefree and childish yelled "AWESOME!" And gave her a high five, then she cockily said "We can just sneak in, I know the gaurd, admit it, I'm amazing" I rolled my eyes and before I could respond the bus pulled up we climbed in and put our bus fair in, there was only about three other people on the bus, Kayla and I picked up where we left off with teenage drama. It took about an hour to get there with all the stops we had to make, but eventually we made it to the nearest bus stop, we walked down the street jumping around and talked to the guard who surprisingly let us in no problem. She gave me something small and purple, I soon realized it was a pill, "JUST TAKE IT" she shouted over the loud music. I shrugged, and thought eh it's just a pill what the hell, and took it with the drink kayla had given me, it burned going down my throat, but I just ignored it and started dancing, after like 5 songs I was shitfaced drunk and seeing things, I didn't mind the feeling and kept dancing. Hours later I stumbled out with some guy I didn't know, we then had sex in his car, I passed out in his car and woke up on the ground by the club to sirens and Kayla getting me up "c'Mon we have to run", she must have seen how hungover and confused I was so she gave me an ibprofend and said "I'll explain later let's go" I listened and followed behind her, I had no idea where we were going but I was scared, eventually the sirens dimmed and I could catch my breath, we were in some forest place, how did we get the this far, where are we, I check for my phone but can't find it, I decided losing my phone was the last of my worries right now, I turned to Kayla, "what happened" she started talking hesitantly "well this guy was trying to take you to his house and he looked like he was in his 20s, he looked sick, like the look he had on his face was like a lion hunting its prey, we fought for a bit and I stabbed him....I meant to get his arm but I got his chest, he was bleeding really bad and I didn't know what to do, then I heard the sirens, and woke you up, I'm sorry sodapop this is my fault..." I looked down "don't take the blame I was as excited as you were and I was the one who left with that guy" it was cold and my clothes were dirty, she took out the knife she always carried around and said "we have to make ourselves look different I have to do some stuff to you" I nodded and she started to saw off my hair with the blade, it seemed like she was having a difficult time doing it with a knife but soon enough i had a buzzcut like hair cut. She looked at me and muttered "sorry" then gashed my cheek, i winced but knew she was helping me look different, i cut her hair to about shoulder length and gave her one of the sweat shirts I brought with me, I always bring extra clothes with me, I gave her what I thought would fit her and changed into some preppy holister clothes, we both looked pretty different but not different enough, we got on some random bus and told the bus driver to take us as far as possible, we looked out the window the whole ride.
