Confessions from my Best Friends Diaries

A girls night. Sounded like fun. What could possibly go wrong.

Samantha, Sam to her friends, was at work when her phone started ringing. When she looked at it, she saw that it was June calling. June was one of her best friends when they graduated from high school. Although she thought June was a brat at times, June was one of the only friends from high school she saw on a regular basis. June went to a large school out of state, however Sam stayed at the local college which was cheaper.

Since Sam was on a break from work, she answered the call. “Sammy! I haven't seen you in months!” June said on the phone. "It would be great to get a couple drinks and catch up.” 

“Alright," replied Sam, "But I do have to work tomorrow, so just a couple.” 

“But it's the first week of summer vacation." June protested. June was spoiled and always had to get her way. It had been that way since they were kids.

“Some of us don't have our parents paying for college and our rent." Sam worked a full-time retail job, besides going to school full time. She needed to put in as many hours as she could this summer, because next year she would be interning, which meant a lot less hours at work. 

“Don't be a buzzkill. I work too. But next year we will be graduating and then we will have to get real jobs and won't be able to see each other much.”

“Fine," Sam replied, "But I'm not kidding, no after parties and NO shots." June squealed on the other end of the phone. She had won, yet again in her eyes. 

Sam did not have a problem going out for the night, but she knew if she didn't lay down some ground rules June would make the night spiral out of control. 

Sam ignored her squeal and added, "I suppose you want me to drive like normal?' Not that Sam minded, however, she had driven home buzzed more than once thanks to June and her antics. The last time her brother found out about that he was not happy. "Because if that is the case, then I can definitely only have a couple.”

Although Sam couldn’t see June, she knew June was pouting. "Fine, do you think your brother will drop us off, and then we can use a ride app back?" June was not interested in an early night, and there was only one way to make sure that happened. 

“I'll ask him," was all Sam said.
