Esmerelda and Jasmine sat in their dorm room trying to study. The semester was coming to a close and both couldn’t wait. They had big plans for the summer.
“I can’t belive I let you talk me into taking this crappy nutrition class,” Jasmine whined to Esmerelda. “There is no way I can remember all this crap. This isn’t fair either, I shouldn’t have to take this final. I was only three points off from a C.”
Esmerelda looked over at her friend. “It’s your fault you never went to class smart one. You could have turned in those extra credit assignments too.” Jasmine groaned and buried her head back into her work.
The two girls had met this their freshman year of college. They knew they were kindred spirits when they saw the homemade 5ive clocks the other had. Jasmine’s had J on the face and Esmerelda’s had Abs’ lovely face. It was a huge relief for both girls knowing that their boyband love would not be taunted and challenged.
Immediately they started trading 5ive stories and felt like they had known eachother their whole lives. They were especially thankful for eachother when the news of 5ive’s split came out. They holed up in their room for days and refused to speak to anyone. All day and night the only sounds that could be heard in their room were the strains of 5ive songs. Rumors flew around the floor that they had cracked. Their RA was getting worried. But one day both girls came out and acted like nothing happened. Most assumed they had gotten over it. After that point no one heard them talk of 5ive again.
Things went on, as it should in college. They went to parties, hung out with friends, studied, went to class (well most of the time, Jasmine wasn’t too fond of her 9 AM nutrition class and so usually missed it), got jobs and just acted like normal co-eds. Their friends assumed they were fine. Little did they know the two were busy plotting the entire year.
“So how was the last day of work?” Esmerelda asked Jasmine. “Did Dennis ask you out again?” Jasmine started giggling and threw her notebooks on the floor.
“Of course. ‘Jasmine, wanna go see a movie tonight?’ He said he would call me later tonight. It’s now 11:30 pm and he has not yet called. Guess he didn’t want to break his record.” The two giggled and went back to their studying. Tomorrow was the last day of finals and they were going to be prepared somewhat.
The next day after finals the girls finished packing up their room and loaded all their stuff into their cars. They were driving to Esmerelda’s parent’s ranch in New Braunfels to drop their stuff off. Esmerelda’s parents lived closer to Austin than Jasmine’s and said the girls could keep their stuff at their ranch that summer. After that was said and done they took Jasmine’s car and drove back to Austin. They were finally setting their plan into action.
“Call John and tell him we’re coming.” Jasmine instructed Esmerelda. “Our flight leaves in three hours and he’d better be home.” A few minutes later the two pulled into his complex and climbed up the stairs to his apartment. They knocked on the door and waited for John to open the door.
“Hey girls.” He said as the door opened. Jasmine and Esmerelda entered and took a look around. This was the first time they’d been to his new place and they had to admit they were impressed.
“Hey sweetie.” Jasmine replied. “Nice place. I’m impressed it’s actually clean.”
“Yeah well, Amanda makes sure it is.” Jasmine nodded and smiled at him. “So are you two ready to go? That’s so cool that you’re going to England as an exchange student.”
“Yeah, real cool.” Esmerelda replied. The three climbed into Jasmine’s car and drove the fifteen minutes to the airport. They pulled up to the drop off and started pulling things out of the car.
“You two be good.” John instructed. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.”
“So we basically can do whatever?” Jasmine smirked back. “Take good care of my car. Don’t wreck it or anything. I don’t want to have to hurt you.” The two hugged and Jasmine walked away towards the doors. John looked at Esmerelda.
“Take care of her. Make sure she eats and everything.” Esmerelda nodded.
“She’s a big girl John. Pretty soon you’re going to have to let her go.” She then picked up her bags and entered the terminal to find Jasmine. John watched the two go then climbed back into the car. He knew something was up, but he wasn’t sure what was going on. Oh well, he thought, as he drove down 35 back to his place, they’ll be fine as long as they stick together, and besides I have a new car to pick girls up in. He smiled to himself and knew this was going to be a GREAT summer.
