Small Town 4th of July

Being awoken by Triple H's theme song blaring loud with the base full force is never the way to start your day, but I can not get anything else to wake me up. I don't know why but his theme is the ONLY thing that works, and believe me, my neighbors don't like it one bit. But that is just too bad, because they do not have to get up at five in the morning to get to school on time. Yeah, five in the morning, and I have been doing it for two years now, its hell, I swear! However, I seem to be getting used to it. My name is Jessica Hunter by the way, I work at the Wingate Inn just up the street from my apartment, and I have been working there now for just a year and two weeks. For Christmas last year I got myself my Mustang. I have been wanting one since I was little and have been spicing mine up a bit. I am also a senior in high school. I don't exactly love my school, but who does? That does not mean that I always hate it either though. But don't get me wrong, I won't exactly miss the place when I graduate, and I am counting down the days! Ok now that we are past my boring introduction it is time that I should get ready. You see, I have a best friend and I need to be up on time to be sure that she is up on time.

So that brings us to her boring introductions, then I think I will be done, for the most part, for awhile. Ok her name is Ashley Radcliffe. She works at the Hot Topic in our local mall. She happens to drive a 1997 Chevy Cavalier, not a bad looking car and it is a good bit newer than mine. However she paid less for hers because hers had more miles. She also happens to be a senior in high school, the same school as me. I am not going to bother you with her views of the place because they are about the same as mine.

Now, everyday before school we get together and I drive the two of us. We wake up by getting breakfast and coffee at McDonalds, then driving to the school listening to Disturbed. Today is our first day as seniors. You remember your first day in school, I don't think it really matters what grade you are going into, you can not stop the countdown till the end of the year. However, Ashley and I have a new perspective on school this year. We figured this out on the drive here this morning, this is the LAST year we will have school, the LAST year that our parents are forced to support us, the LAST year of life as we know it. But as depressing as it sounds, we were happy to have figured this out. We both lost our fathers early to divorce so we have always been more mature then our school mates and have always been independent.

Well as I said, you know how that first day goes, so I am going to try not to go into too big of an explanation. I would have to say that the MOST boring part of the school day is homeroom. I am not sure how it all happened but Ashley ended up in my homeroom this year, something about new students and all, I am just not going to ask. All I know is that it is dangerous to have her and I together for any amount of time.

Well her and I had first period study hall together also, and then we were separated till lunch then again till the last two periods of the day. My schedule was awesome, I loved how it went and the classes were great. I would be busy and that is how I like it. Ashley said that she even loved her schedule.

After school that day we went out to the mall to see who all we could catch up with. Also, our parents would be out of town for the rest of the week and we were on our own. So it was great to get out and get dinner. The rest of the week went much the same. However, the second week of school is when it really started. Ashley and I constantly had loads of homework and no extra time. However we found time to get together by doing the work together, ever since we were little you could not separate us.

Later in the year I found out that the WWE was coming back into Pittsburgh, close to where we lived, so I decided to get tickets. Over the years we have gone to every event in Pittsburgh and every year we seem to pick up new people to go with us and it ended up being a rather large group this year. It was Ashley and her boyfriend Eugene, my boyfriend Nathaniel and I, my mom Stacey, Ashley's mom Judi, a guy at my mom's work Norm, Norm's nephew Steve, and another guy that I met online, he was going to meet us there so I am not sure if he counts, and last- Ashley's brother Josh. We were going to divide up the people between three cars, mine, my mom's, and Ashley's. It was going to be great. We were going to leave at about two and stop to eat, then on to the arena to see wrestlers coming in.

That day around one everyone gathered at my place and we left a little early on our schedule. I knew the route real well from being there so many times so I led the way. Once we were there we all split up. My mom, Norm, and Judi stayed at the doors holding our places. Ashley, Eugene, Josh, Steve, Nathaniel, and I went to the lot where the wrestlers parked. It was always great to see all the buses there along with all their cars. This time we got a surprise while standing there. We got to see Randy Orton come into the building. This was odd since it was a RAW show and he is a SmackDown star, and since he had been suspended indefinitely. Ashley and I called to him but he ignored us so after him coming in we stayed for a bit longer and got to see Big Show. After we saw him we decided to walk around a bit and see if we could meet up with Brett, the guy I met on the net. Finally I ended up calling him on his cell because the gates were to open soon and we still had not found him.

Finally the doors were opened about five minutes late because of the impatient idiots in the front of the line. But we got in and to our seats in time. And even though we all came together we had seats scattered around the arena. Ashley, Judi, my mom and I all had front row. Everyone else was scattered. The show was great, as it always is, and even better this time since it was the day Shawn came back and DX reformed. It was great, Hunter was getting beaten by the sprit squad so Shawn came out, however there where just too many of the squad. So suddenly Orton runs into the ring and they all kick ass. It was funny when Orton came out though because he tripped a bit and landed on the guy right behind us who happened to be starting on to a new cup of beer. Well needless to say, Ashley and I were covered in beer. My camera bag still smells like it!

After the show we all left and went home. Once I got home there was no way I was getting to sleep so I stayed up for a bit and re-watched the show on tape to see who all I could point out. I got to see everyone by the end of the show and loved seeing my guys come back. I was sure that I would wear this tape out.
