Time Goes By And Nothing Changes [David Desrosiers] Part 1

I sighed out in relief as I was packing away my clothes in my suitcase, musing on the fact that my last year of high school just ended and that my friends and I were going on a three-month road trip. I most likely had this stupid-looking, childish grin on my face because it was just tomorrow that we were packing up the jeep and taking off down the road just to have some fun.
I decided to turn on my stereo and place Taking Back Sunday's Tell All Your Friends album into the player, Adam Lazzara's beautiful voice meeting my ears. I smiled stupidly to myself, I was seeing these guys in concert tomorrow evening, which made me all the more happy just thinking about this whole road trip.
I packed away more of my clothes and did a little happy dance to the music every now and then. I guess you could say that I was ecstatic, which was pretty odd for me. I guess I was just so happy because I was finally getting out of Regina for a few months. My life in Regina wasn't so great as what it was to most people. I was so fucking glad to leave this town that consisted fake people and careless beings. I was sick of it all and this road trip was the perfect solution for the problem.
We were planning this for a few months now, each day passing by agonizingly slow. But now the day has come and nothing could pull us down into a depressed and angry mood. Nothing. Sighing, I zipped up my suitcases (two to be exact) and switched off my stereo, taking the disc out and slipping it into my CD wallet, stuffing that in my backpack. I pulled my suitcases down the steps behind me and put them next to door so I wouldn't waste time tomorrow.
I rubbed my hands together in accomplishment and walked into the family room where my two friends were sitting on the sofa; Natalie and Jennifer, the friends that were coming with me tomorrow on this road trip. "I'm finally done packing," I sighed, collapsing into the recliner across from the sofa.
"It's about time!" Jennifer shouted, rolling her eyes and flipping her bleach blonde hair with black underneath over her shoulder, she was always the impatient one.
"Holy shit, I'm so excited about tomorrow!" Natalie exclaimed, bouncing in her seat as her curly chocolate-brown hair bounced with her. "We are meeting Matt Rubano tomorrow!" She jumped off the sofa and ran over to me, shaking my shoulders as if meeting Matt Rubano was a big deal. Don't get me wrong, he was extremely cute and everything but my crush in the band was Adam.
"Yeah, same," I agreed with her. "I can't believe we are leaving tomorrow," I said in realisation, smacking myself across the cheek just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. "What do you think is going to happen while we are there?" I asked my two best friends.
"Whatever happens, happens. And promise me that nothing is going to happen between us if anything does happen," Natalie said with a bit of confusion. "Did that make any sense at all?" She asked, making me and Jennifer burst out into laughter. She pulled a cheesy smile and ran to my DVD collection stacked next to the TV on a rack. "I wanna watch a movie!" She screamed at the stack, I stifling a laugh at her idiotic antics.
"Thanks for stating out the obvious," Jennifer said sarcastically, a smirk creeping on her thin lips. Natalie gave her a playful death glare.
"Put one in then, that will probably calm you down, you'll fall asleep like you always do," I said, sweeping my jet black hair with purple streaks out of my icy blue eyes and giving her a crooked smile. Natalie pouted and popped in the disc, returning back to her normal spot on the sofa.
The movie started and an hour into it, Natalie fell asleep just like I predicted. Jennifer was constantly smacking her face in attempt to keep herself awake, but she finally stopped and it seemed like she was dozed off too. I smiled to myself at the sight.
These two were my best friends and I wouldn't want it any other way. We were finally getting what we dreamed of; leaving everything we hated behind for a while. School was hard for us and too boring to imagine, which caused a lot of problems in our lives. But I think everything will mend back together. This trip will solve it. Tomorrow and the following three months are going to be the most amazing days of our lives, just musing on it made me feel so hyperactive and alive. Anxiety was creeping on me slowly as I watched the remainder of the movie, an odd feeling lurching in the pit of my stomach.
No matter what happens, everything is going to turn out fine, I assured myself, sighing out breath that was caught in my throat. Excitement raged through me as each minute passed by, one minute less until we leave to get out of this place. The last thought for the night in my mind was of us on the road in freedom, having the time of our lives before I fell into a ecstatic, peaceful sleep.
