“No, I wouldn’t,” I acknowledge. “But I’m glad we have some snaps together now. Maybe one of the tamer ones,” I say. She giggles, and with that, we begin the hike down. It’s serene, beautiful, and naughty all at once. I love spending time with Britney, and all I can think is: how do I keep the curvy girl with me forever?

Britney
The world is starting to feel a bit more normal. Over the last week, bans have been lifted, so stores are allowed to open. Downtown looks more like I remember it, with people on the sidewalks and even mothers pushing baby carriages. In addition, our trailer park is a bit rowdier now, with more people visiting each other and enjoying time outside with friends. Being trapped inside for months, unable to interact with others, has turned us all into very social people it seems.
Joey started back at work on Monday, and as a result, my brother’s been in a great mood all week. Today’s his first day off since starting, and he’s his room reading, but he’s happy. I can hear humming coming through his wall, and that only happens when he’s feeling chipper.
Come to think of it, I’m in a good mood too because I get to go back to school tomorrow. They’ve finally decided to reopen Corona High, and none too soon. I was worried they would keep us online through the rest of the year which would be a downer, but evidently, things are looking up so we’ll be able to graduate in person.
I’m thrilled. We’re not going to have a prom or Fright Night or anything like that, but I don’t care so much. I simply want to have a graduation day. Something where I get to walk across the stage and accept my diploma because it’s a big achievement! For a while, I wasn’t sure I was going to finish because I was so despondent, but now, things are looking up.
I sit down on my bed, smiling to myself. My friends and I had a conference call yesterday to talk about what it will be like to go back to school, and I wonder if everyone will look different after two months away. Lots of people say they’ve put on weight from being cooped up inside so long, and I think I have too. I glance in the mirror and smile. It doesn’t matter because John loves my body, and makes sure I know it whenever we’re together with his lascivious looks and wandering hands.
Excitement bubbles in my stomach, but it’s mixed with nerves. Pretty soon I’ll be a high school graduate, but what does that mean? Where will my relationship with John go? I’ve had my job for a few months, which means I have some work experience now. That’s good, but it’s not like it’s going to propel me to college. Not that that’s really in the picture. First, I didn’t even apply to any schools. Second, I’m not really interested, to be honest. Maybe I’ll take some classes at Corona Community College, but that’s the extent of it. I just want to spend more time with John, and I’ve learned so much at ShopMore already. There’s no sense in burying myself in books without picking up any useful skills along the way.
My anxiety starts to subside. Everything’s going to be fine. I don’t need to worry about the future right now because I should focus on the present. Soon, I’ll be a high school graduate!
Smiling, I get back up from my bed and stand in front of my small closet. I don’t have a ton of clothes, but I need to pick out the perfect outfit for my first day back at school. I wish I could buy something new, but money is still tight. Even with both of us working, it’s always a strain, although it feels good to be contributing to the household. I’m glad to help my brother.
I pull out a skirt and hold it up against my body. It falls just above my knee, and is long enough to pass our school’s dress code but short enough to show off my legs. I wouldn’t have dared wear this skirt to school before quarantine, but being with John has given me a confidence I’ve never had before. He constantly compliments me on my figure, and strokes my curves every chance he gets.
Smiling to myself, I decide to put it on. My friends will be surprised to see me in something so revealing, but I want to show off the brand-new me. I’m confident and sassy now, and it’s largely due to my boyfriend.
But the top is harder to decide on. I pull out my three favorite shirts and lay them on my bed. They all look good with the skirt, so I pick the dark blue one with a low V-neck with strings going across it. I like how it makes my chest look, like my girls are straining against the puny strings.
