Chapter 7 - Bucket List
----------------------------

"Let's start" I said, opening my notebook. With my pen in hand I sat beside Sasha on my bed.
"I love your room" Sasha smiled, lying down with her hands behind her head. She was staring at the ceiling then she made a face and frowned. "My room is pink and horrible"
So I wrote 'paint room' down an the list was started.
"What else?" I asked, eager. "What have you wanted to do all your life?"
Sasha smiled now. She was thinking and then her face lit up like a child on Christmas Day. "Fly a kite" She grinned.
I wrote that down too.
"Kiss. A. Boy" She whispered then giggled.
I scribbled it down them nodded when I had finished.
"Go on a double date. I don't know why but it sounds like fun" Sasha said seriously then shook her head, smiling still, and laughed.
"Double date? We'll have to find you a cute date then" I smiled.
"And one for you too." Sasha replied.
I shook my head. "I'm not going with you."
She sat up now, leaning on her hands. "Why not?" She asked.
"I am not going to ruin it for you"
"I want you to be with me." She grinned.
"You do?"
"Of course I do, you idiot, you are my best friend." Sasha smirked.
"You are my best friend too ..." I let my voice trail off.
"But?" She questioned.
"I thought you would grow to dislike me" I whispered.
"I'm not your old friends, Emily. I wouldn't do that, I will always like you" Sasha smiled.
"You sure?"
She nodded. "Sure as sure can be"
"Sure" I smiled.
"Sure" She repeated.
We laughed then got back to work on the list.

Chapter 9 - The Start
--------------------------

"Where do we start?" Sasha asked as we walked to the shops after school on Friday. I knew where we were going, ever since the list was made on Sunday I knew I was going to make this one the first.
"Six" I finally replied.
She looked at me as she tried to remember what six was.
"No way, no freaking way" She squealed as she realised. I laughed as she grabbed my hand and dragged me to run with her. We ran all the way to Crazy Joe's, the ice cream shop. Crazy Joe's was a small shop that was between an Indian restaurant and music shop. It's colour theme was pink and black and the tables were all separated in booths so it was more private for the customers. Sasha got a booth at the back of the shop while I went up and ordered the ice cream for her. I then walked back to the booth and sat opposite Sasha.
"So what are we having?" She asked, excitedly.
"You are having what we agreed." I replied as a waitress placed the ice cream in front of Sasha.
It was a large ice cream in a large bowl. There was brownie chunks at the bottom, then there were scoops of vanilla ice cream topped off with a sauce of your choice. Sasha had chocolate today. Then the same flavour of ice cream topped that off, with more brownie pieces on top of that. Then there was more vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on top. There were flakes to top it off.
"I love you, I truly do" Sasha smiled.
The waitress made a sound of disgust. "I can't deal with this" She mumbled then stomped away. Me and Sasha laughed so much that we were crying.
Then Sasha looked down at the ice cream, she was thinking about something, then seconds later she looked up at me.
"What?" I grinned.
"Picture moment?" She asked, reaching into her bag.
"What?" I repeated.
She held out her camera for me to see then turned to the woman in the booth beside ours.
"Excuse me? Would you be able to take a picture of me and my friend please?" She asked. The woman nodded then took the camera off Sasha as she stood up. Sasha and I moved closer to each other. She put her arm round my shoulder and smiled. I smiled too then the woman took the picture. Sasha slid away from me then took the camera from the woman and thanked her.
"Dig in" I grinned and that is exactly what she did.
