The email she received today was marked urgent. But, how could this be? She trembled when she saw it. The senders address belonged to a very close friend, who had tragically died two years earlier. This was impossible. As she stared at the un-opened email, her mind began to drift off to a much simpler time.
She had just moved to Michigan from Arizona, she was in the fifth grade. She remembered it was her first day at a new school, and how nervous she was. Until, she heard her voice for the first time.
"Hi, I'm Jenny" the sweet voice said. As she turned around she replied, "I'm Sydney", with a shaking voice.
After that day the two girls were inseparable. As the years passed by Jenny and Sydney remained very close, all the way thru highschool.
Wherever you would see one, the other would by close by.
It was the summer after their junior year in college when it happened.
As she gazed at the computer screen, it was as if she was right back there, in that terrible moment.
It was a warm evening in early June. Jenny had prepared herself for her usual bike ride, as she had every evening. She loved those bike rides. This was her time to clear her mind and just release any negative energy she may have had. There was just one difference about that evening. This day, Jenny had decided to take a different route so that she could ride by Sydney's shop, where she had worked. It happened to be Sydney's 21st birthday this particular day, and Jenny wanted to wish her best friend a happy birthday, she also had just found out she A-ced their final exams, amd she definitely wanted to share that with Sydney as well.
This would not happen however, because Sydney had just so happened to be let off with early, because it was her birthday. She was super excited to get home to surprise Jenny and start the birthday...
