So we laid low on the skateboarding, what a bummer. So we sat in our room, listening to Taking Back Sunday and The Used and she yelled lets start a band!!! I was so excited I was like yeah I’m so down with that, she was gonna play guitar and I was gonna like hmm... what was I gonna do, oh yeah I was gonna play drums and lead sing. We needed more people I don’t think anyone really took us seriously. Man and we really did need people. Slowly my pink ribbons went away and I stopped wearing my docs and well just totally transformed into this hardcore punk rock lovin’ girl. Every one was pretty surprised I mean I could see why. I had been changing so much, but I had never been so happy like for the first time I could like do things and wear clothes that I always wanted to wear and no one judged me on that or the music I listened to. It was so great. So no one wanted to join our band I guess that was like bummer #2 gosh we could have been so famous. Oh Yeah!!! I guess not though.
It was just things like that I mean they weren’t planned, we just got up one day and said “hey let’s skate” or “hey let’s start a band.” We had the best times when I lived with her. We would come home from school and like sit on the kitchen table and every moment that wasn’t spent together at school would be talked about at that kitchen table. We were literally combined at the hip. I always told her she was my backbone she would just giggle. People knew we were like sisters or something, they never just said emily or sara it was always emily and sara. We liked it though. We were each other’s best friend.
“Oh my gosh lets get boy haircuts!!!!” at first I thought she was going too far. So I said ok if you do it then Ill do it. Not really expecting her to. See her mom cuts hair so it’s not like we had to go to a salon. Well I’ll be damned fifteen minutes later she walks in with shaggy hair just a little below her chin and ears with lots of layers. Damnit why did I say I’d do it if she did???
