This is a Vente

There is so much to say about these group of girls. They changed my summer this year,they changed the outlook i have on people, and they opened my mind to new things. It all started at a starbucks. My friend gina and I came one night, like many other nights, as we were paying i saw behind me two girls in bright colors, loud as can be. Doing something i regret now, i classified them as annoying. Gina went to school with them, but didnt really know them. We went on our way, the next few nights and weeks we found that we all had something in common. we loved late night starbucks, and the hottie behind the counter.
This soon became our routine, we would all meet up at SB (trying to give it a more club like name, makes it sound a lil cooler) We have also gone with 24 because it was a 24 hour starbucks.
SB became our meeting spot and sometimes our ending spot. Before we would go out for the night we would meet to get our coffee fix and our "dom" fix. Other nights we would go out and somehow end up at starbucks. Sometimes we would be the only ones in there at 2 in the morning..loud as can be.
We became regulars and claimed our seats in the back.
The workers became our freinds. drinks became free. and food became free as well..sometimes...if you stole it.
While there we would talk about everything, our boy problems..our "hate list" we shared our first tattoos together there. and we also played egyiptain rat screw- a very intense game when playing with irene.
she would always win and we swore she cheated, but in all reality we couldnt slap fast enough or forgot about the jack/ten rule.
These 3 girls became my family that summer. we went to dance parties, we went to house parties and of course SB almost every night.
We saw sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 and sex and the city together. and while in the movie we sat there and decided who each one of us four were in each movie.
Then the summer ended. I was going away to school, and Irene was torn on going to Utah, which she finally decided to go to. Gina and Maria were left in the STL, but were torn by different schools. Our pack that had been so close seemed so far away.
On our final night of the summer we all meet at starbucks. We sat there all night. This is the night that opened my eyes to how kind people can be.
Irene had bought us each a claddagh ring. The ring stands for friendship, love and loyalty. These rings would keep us together while we were away.
I was blown away to get a gift from someone i had just met that summer. It made me want to cry. How can someone be so caring and compassionate.
These girls opened my eyes. They taught me to give people a chance before you judge, they taught me to laugh at myself, they taught me there is more to do in the STL then i thought. and they showed me how close people can become in such a short time.
and it ended at a Starbucks
I love these girls!
