"AHHH!! NO WAY!"I screamed.
"OH MY GOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ANDREA!" Naomi screamed.
" Yep. 3 tickets to Michael Jackson's Bad Tour. But it's kind of in Kansas."Andrea said.
"KANSAS!?" Naomi and I screamed in unison.
"Hey we are in California! But that doesn't mean we cannot have fun once in a while and take a road trip."Andrea replied. She was always so free and decided to do things spontaneously. Naomi was a bit different. She always had stuff planned. Like this summer she is going to Hawaii for 2 weeks and staying at Holiday Inn and going to the beach on the first day. Then on the rest of the first week she will spend with her Boyfriend Edward touring the city. The next week she will spend half of it shopping and the other half partying. She also was very strict on stuff. If you asked her to come shopping with you on a day she was supposed to run errands she wouldn't come even though she loves it. She runs a strict diet, 3 meals a day no snacks, no candies, no sweets, no desserts and no course has more than 100 calories TOTAL.
"Well Girls. Start Packing We are going tommorow." Andrea Said. We said our goodbyes and hung up. I blasted my Bad CD and started packing. I know your wondering. Well what about me? Am I more like Naomi, or Andrea. Neither. I am a person who worries a lot and is over emotional. But I am also a Hopeless Romantic. When i was only 6 I had already had 10 crushes and a bunch of designs of wedding dresses on my wall along with wedding cakes. I am also very shy. Naomi and Andrea both found me on their own and opened me up. I'm single and I don't wanna be. I don't tell my friends this but I'm secretly saving myself for Michael Jackson. I'm 19. He's 29. I mean what are the odds of him marrying a crazy fan? No chance. But you never know? Oh Please. The CD stopped so I turned on radio. One of my favorite songs, "Tender Love" by the Force MD's was on. I looked out my window and felt the breeze that flowed through my room.
"What If I could get Michael? Would it be worth losing my friends and getting caught up in fame?"I said to myself. I glanced up to the moon. I sang along to the song. I stopped singing.
"But What If My friends and I kept being friends. What If I kept the wisdom my Mama gave me? What If I keep in mind what my Mama said before she died? I remember her words. Every single one. 'Never sink into the trap of life' then she passed away. Yeah Sure that can mean anything. But It means something, a something that can help you with any situation in life. So maybe I should try to get Michael. But my friends would burst out laughing If they found out.I have to think of a plan that they would agree on to get me Michael. But What?"
" I WANT TO LOVE YOU! PRETTY YOUNG THING! YOU NEED SOME LOVIN' TENDER LOVE AND CARE AND I'LL TAKE YA THERE. GIRL HOO!" I sang.
"I wish Edward Loved Me This Way." I said. I put down my clothes I was packing and went to my window.
"Why can't he just grab me and say, I LOVE YOU NAOMI. He NEVER tells me that! Ugh I'd like to see the day he does that. How Many Times Have I took that guy back? Too many. That time with the girl at the beach at Florida last summer? That time at the mall? Ugh It just angers me thinking about him. But I love that man. There's no denying that. He treats me like dirt. Nai go get me a beer. He stinks up a damn room with his cigarettes. Maybe I can find someone better on this trip to Kansas. Anything Can Happen."I said to myself. I looked up at the moon.
" I wish my father wasn't in jail. I wish he would come pick me up and let me sit on his lap, like old times. I know I'm 20 years old but I miss my Father. My mother looks down on my like I'm nothing because I haven't won any pageants and my boyfriend sucks and I'm still living with her at 20, and she hates how I love to dance and thats why I didn't go to College and It takes up too much time and it's stupid. But she doesn't get that it mends the pain." I said to my self. I went back to packing my clothes. " I can't wait to go to the concert and get away from my mother." I said to myself.
" Enjoy yourself! Enjoy Yourself for me. You sittin out there. Starin' into space. While people are dancin' dancin' all over the place."I sang to myself.
" I Can't WAIT to get out of this house. Grandma is just buggin' me. 'GO TO COLLEGE!' 'I'm Tired of hearin' your singing all night. Singing is nothing. You should be helping me pay the bills by now. At your age I was working 3 jobs you help my parents. I don't care if it mends your pain from your stupid parents. Your father was a stupid man and I you remind me of my stupid daughter, dancing and running off with your father. That's why they died they were too foolish and STUPID!'. God I hate her. I asked her to go and what does she say? NO! Oh please you old hag! I'm going if it means drugging you to sleep or just sneaking out. I am 19! I can leave you to shrivel in your bitterness." I said. I looked at the moon outside my window.
" I have 3 great best friends who are possible living mates. Tony, Naomi, and Melissa. Oh... Tony. He always just falls for the wrong girls. And here comes Andrea to save him and mend his pain. When will he figure out I love him? When? Egh Never! One day I'm just gonna kiss those soft lips like I did back in 3rd grade. We were so close back on the playground we hid and we shared our first kisses together. But then Wendy Brenton stole him away from me. They broke up in seventh grade and he cried on whose shoulders? Mine. Why Can't I choke out I love You Tony Edwards? On this concert I'm gonna find out how to. I mean who would think that Andrea doesn't have enough confidence to ask out one of her best friend, Tony? I gotta finish packing."
The next evening all girls were packed and ready to go but problems went through the house that evening when the girls brought it up to their family.
"But Mama please?" Naomi said.
"No!"her mother replied.
" Mother this is MICHAEL JACKSON. If It was you, you know you would definitely go! This is a chance of a life time Mama!"Naomi said.
" As long as you bring me a sovenier!"she said. Naomi jumped for joy and her and her mother screamed together. Michael was about the only thing that helped her and her Mother even talk to each other.
" DAD! Come on!" Melissa begged.
"NO! I hate the Michael Jackson he is a disgrace to the music industry. If It was a Beatles concert then Yes."he said.
" Dad do the Beatles even DO concerts any more?" Melissa said.
"I don't know why don't you check?" He father said reading the newspaper while sipping coffee.
" Oooo I hate you!" Melissa Screamed. She ran up to her room and cried on her bed. Her Father Came in.
"I'll let you go. But your never gonna come back if you go. Just keep that in mind. You will never enter this house again if you go to the concert." her father said.
"Fine. Excuse Me I need to call Naomi and Andrea to see what time they are picking me up." she said looking at her father coldly. She got up and called Naomi first. They both squealed with joy.
"Well I'm Sorry about Pam, Tony."Andrea said through the phone. "Okay you ready to catch the bags?"Andrea said.
"Ready." Tony replied. Andrea threw her bags down and Tony caught them.
"Time to catch me Tony." Andrea said. Her palms sweated. Tony was about to catch her. She was excited.
"Hope you didn't gain any pounds!" Tony replied with his hands out. Andrea and him giggle and she jumped. Tony caught her and they both fell on each other. It got quiet and Andrea got up.
"Thanks Tony."she said.
"No problem girl." he replied.
"I'll bring you a souveneir okay?"she said.
"You better." he said smiling. They hugged and got in their cars. Tony Drove off and Andrea called her friends to make sure they were ready. She backed her 1986 Cadillac Cimarron out her driveway and drove to Naomi's house. She was waiting outside and jumped in the car. Then they drove to Melissa's house and picked her up. She blew a kiss goodbye to the house and the memories that were in it. She waved to her Dad who was almost turning red! All three girls drove off into the night, on the Journey To Michael.
