Crazy
Prologue
"Well, that's the last of it."
"Yeah. Well, I should go. Bye!" Marie yelled, in french, out of her car window.
"Try not to fall in love with any Bad Boys or Hockey Players!" Her mom yelled to her before she could drive too far away.
'This is it! No more crazy, stupid family! No more Hockey, or setting me up with those nerds. I am now free!'
Marie was very excited when she saw the airport. She just wanted to hop on a plane and never look back at her old life. Her crazy, stupid life, a life she never wanted. She just wanted to be in a close to not crazy family, and to be free. Not have a crazy family, and have to do everything she's told to do, with no free time left.
Marie was so excited, she ran into the airport, up to the desk, and to security. Everyone stared at her, but she didn't mind. She was free. No crazy life. No loud hockey games, no more druggies, alcoholics, or shopaholics. No more cleaning, eating, studying and sleeping. Now, it was quiet study nights, bookaholics, waterholics, and giveaholics. No cleaning, eating, studying and sleeping routine. She was free to study whenever, eat when she had nothing to do, sleep in her spare time, and clean only when needed. It felt amazing, to have this new life.
Marie was so excited, she kept bouncing in her seat, while waiting to board. She couldn't keep still. She was just to damn excited. If her leg wasn't bouncing, she was twiddling her thumbs. If her thumbs weren't moving, she was dncing along to her music. She just couldn't sit and relax. Not when she could do it whenever now.
"Flight 259 to Boston, Massachusetts, is now boarding."
That was her cue. She grabbed her things and practically raced to the small line that was forming. She still couldn't keep still, even when standing. She was either moving her feet, checking her bag for eveything, or jumping up and down.
She was finally at the front of the line.
"Bonjour. How are you today?" The flight attendant asked.
"Bonjour. Good, you?"
"Good." Marie, with a hop, skip, and a jump, walked onto the plane. She found her seat. She was beside a girl, who looked 22.
"Bonjour. Comment ça va?" Marie asked.
"What? Oh. Bon. Et toi?"
"Bon. Do you know french?" Marie asked. French may be her mother tongue, but she speaks English very well.
"A little, since I'm from Canada."
"Where from Canada?"
"Nova Scotia. Cole Harbour, to be specific."
"I know that place. Well, heard of it. I think I heard my papa talking about that place, and a cup, back in 2009."
"You've probably heard of it because, in 2009, in the NHL, the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and thier captain, my boyfriend, is from Cole Harbour," She explained. "Now, enough about hockey. What's your name?"
"I'm Marie."
"Emily."
"Why are you in France?"
"I came here with my boyfriend. He had a break, but the NHL started back up so he had to go back yesterday."
They ccontinued thier chat for 2 more hours before Emily fell asleep. Marie was starting to fall asleep as well. She was so excited before, she ran out of energy.
Marie woke up to someone shaking her. She looked up and saw Emily.
"We're here!"
"I forgot to ask. Why are you going to Boston if you're from Nova Scotia and your boyfriend's team is in a different state?"
"I'm going to Harvard Law School."
"So am I!"
"That's amazing!"
"Well we can study together then!" Marie exclaimed. Emily nodded excitedly.
When they got to Harvard, they found out they had rooms next to each other. They sat in Marie's room the first night. They stayed up late, as they weren't tired. They were a little loud and woke up Marie's other neighbour.
Jade was woken to two girls squealing next door. She got up and decided to investigate. No one wakes up Jade Adele Edwards and gets away with it. She knocked on the door and waited before 2 girls who looked her age, opened the door.
"Hi!"
"Can you guys keep it down? People are trying to sleep!"
"Sorry. I'm Emily. And that's Marie."
"Hey! Aren't you dating Sidney Crosby?"
"Yeah."
"Do you think he could hook me up with someone?"
"If I can get Malkin, Fleury, Kesler, Spezza and Turris girlfriends, from just 5 minutes of talking, I can hook you up with anyone in the NHL."
The girls started talking. They became good friends with their neighbour, Jade in 20 minutes.
'I'm doing it. Getting away from a crazy life, with some friends at my side.'
Oh how Marie thought wrong. Very, very, very, wrong.
"Yeah. Well, I should go. Bye!" Marie yelled, in french, out of her car window.
