THE BUCKET LIST
“I can’t believe you’re going to leave me alone all summer. I mean, what
am I supposed to do while you’re gone?” I complain while rubbing sun tan
oil over my legs.
Katie turns her head to face me. “What do you mean? What about
Nick?” she asks, shading her vibrant blue eyes from the bright light of the
sun.
My clenched teeth sends a bout of pain surging through my jaw as I
hand her the oil. “Fuck, Nick. He’s a douche.”
She sits up and takes the bottle. “Did he do something?”
I lean back with my eyes closed and sigh, letting the sun warm my skin.
“Yeah, he cheated on me with Holly. Can you believe that?”
She snorts. “Holly? Seriously?”
Holly is the slut in our group of friends, or should I say Katie’s friends.
She’s nothing more than an acquaintance to me, and an annoying one at
that. She’s never invited anywhere, but shows up everywhere.
I feel the vein in my forehead begin to pulsate. “Yes, Holly.” I sit back
up and reach for the mixed drink on the table between us. “No boyfriend,
no best friend. Worst summer ever!”
“You could come with me.” She flashes me a wide smile.
I take a deep breath. “You know I can’t. If I could, I would be there in a
second. I can’t get the time off work.”
She leans back and brushes her hands over her legs, the sand that clings
to them falls away. “So? Screw that dead-end job. This will be the summer
of a lifetime if you come with me. Who wouldn’t want to go spend the
summer in Miami?”
“I would die to go on this trip with you, but I can’t afford it either,” I
mumble, avoiding her gaze while scanning the ocean in front of me. I watch
as two children pull away from their parents, giggling and splashing in the
water while the couple share a secret moment together. The man places his
hand on the woman’s hip and pulls her against him, whispering something
in her ear that causes her to laugh and kiss him. A spike of jealously runs
through me.
“You know I could—”
“You’re not paying for it, Katie. Seriously, you know how I hate to be
your charity case.”
She lets out an exasperated sigh. “You’re not my charity case. You’re
my best friend, and I like doing things for you. What do you say?” She
flashes me ‘the smile’ which has always gotten her everything.
“No. It’s too much.” I relax back into my seat, pulling my long, dark
hair out from under my neck, the strands clinging to my damp skin.
I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do with my summer. Katie is
my best friend. We’ve never spent more than a couple of days away from
one another since grade school. She’s always been here for me to lean on
and talk to.
I’m shy, and don’t fit in easily. I never have. I keep to myself, preferring
to read a book than go out drinking where I’m forced to socialize with
people.
