Chapter 76 Nikki

• Spending time with my friends was nice. They did help the ache in my heart lessen for a short period of time. I mean, who wouldn’t laugh at the sight of the future leadership of our pack doing the Thriller dance along with the actors on screen in the movie 13 Going on 30. The better part of that was watching Jonas eyeballing Tatum when he recites, “Is he an Arthur or a Martha?” along with the character Mr. Kneeland.
• I looked around and could see that they had taken Frankie seriously about betting rid of all the alcohol, not a bottle in sight. To be fair I didn’t drink all the time. I did drink everyday and I won’t deny it. Usually I drank after practice and before bed to take the edge off. I am an orphan at 17 with little more than a pipe dream.
• Although, I thought that dream was more Frankie centric before now. I definitely want to become a seamstress and design beautiful ball gowns. I haven’t told the gang yet, but I have requested to enter the fashion design school a semester earlier than planned. I am just waiting to hear back from the admissions office. If I had originally planned to go for fall semester, I wouldn’t be on the waitlist. Granted they have taken my circumstances into account and have put me at the top of that list.
