Throughout my whole life everyone thought my name was Hailey. It was a crazy night of fun with my girls. I was with my two other friends Samara and Kia. I think I remember the story pretty well. We went to our friend's graduation party that night at his house. It was so loud, and full. Of course, there were liqs and people just turning up the night before graduation that everyone looked their best. So we walk in and Jake greated us, (he is Samara's ex boyfriend). He went with her upstairs and we went to find our other friends in the back. I remember everyone taking a couple of shots, and last thing I remember the cops came.
"Ow, you jerk you just kicked me in my head" yelled Kia.
I got up crying sorry as I looked around to find out where we are. With Samara still sleeping Kia & I saw the sunlight and was startled by that beaming light.
I quickly reached in my bag and looked for my pearphone. Checking the time that said "11:00 AM". I screamed and Samara instantly woke up. We were all dirty and muddy and our hair, of course our hair was messed up.
"Kia any phone signal?, she replies "NO". "Samara any signal?" She replies sobbing, "No".
Not knowing where we are and who to reach out for help. Most of all we are going to miss our highschool graduation. The 3 of us proceded to pack up our things and head on the freeway to pick up a taxi.
"No one is going to give us a ride, look at us, we look like strippers", yelled Samara.
"You know what, Shutup Samara, maybe try doing that for once dumass", said Kia
"STOP IT, stop yelling, cant you both see we are in a huge predicament!? My first time sleeping out, my parents probably blowing up my phone. Im going to miss the once chance to officially say I graduated and I'm stuck here with you two losers. Do you know what it is going to look like on my resume when it says I do not have a diploma? Can you even imagine what jobs I would get? yelled hailey. "A job at McDonalds" said Samara. "You are so foolish" Hailed screamed as she walk away.
"Well look who climbed out of their shell", said Kia. "where are you going Hailey?"
"Far from you two !!"
Never have I ever been this furious with these girls. What have I done to myself? As I sit down on this hard, bumpy rock getting splinters on my bottom, I instantly got a text.
"I have SERVICE! I HAVE SERVICE" yelled Hailey.
Neither Samara or Kia responds. I wonder what they are doing!? I instantly received a text from my Mata (which is mother in Hindu for all my American readers). It read " Where r u Hail". I know what you are thinking my mom can not text. She texts like she is one of those hoodlums in the south. Knowing she is worried and if I respond it is only going to be hell. I've decided to pretend I never saw the text and find my way back to home.
Look guys there is a car! I see a car", screams Samara.
Kia waisting no time, waves her hand calling the car and putting it to a stop. I quickly grabbed my belongings and ran over to the car to meet them.
"You ladies looking for a ride?" said this cute Southern man. He looks pretty young, and this is the only car that have passed our way all morning. We decided to get in. All 3 of us squished in the backseat get pounded with questions by this strange but handsome man.
The car ride back was completly awkward. Sitting there being plastered by questions and finding our way back home. I decided to call my mom. Calls once. No answer. Calls again, once again no answer. We finally was approaching a a sign, that stated " Welcome to Sunny California". Never have I ever felt so refreshed and be back in my state.
All of a sudden all of our phone receptions immediately turned back on. Boy were were excited. Its currently 12:30 AM. Missing our graduation already Samara says, " Hey Hail, sorry about dragging you to that party last night. I know this graduation meant so much to you". I was so speechless that all I can do is just hug her.
We all exchange apologies as the driver pulled up to Emison Hall, were our graduation is being taking place.As I step out the vehicle so excited that I actually have the chance to get my diploma, I heard my mom screaming "HAILEY, HAILEY, WAKE UP" ( which meant get your behind up in Hindu. As I felt a shaking, my eyes suddenly opened and it was m"y mom in my face. I was so excited to see her, I looked around and I was in my bed.
"Mom omg, I had the scariest dream of my life"
"Honney its ok, go get ready it is graduation day", said my mother all excited.
Today has been the day I have been waiting for, and I can not wait to tell my bestfriends all about my dream. Thank God, that it was not true...
Class of 2015 we out !
P.S. this is not a good bye though,good friends never say goodbye we simply say “see you soon”.

I really like your use of dialogue. In a short story like this, it really helps to develop it as a whole. It is like a way to get into each characters thoughts and feelings even though it did turn out to be a dream. The dialogue brings out the characteristics in each character and shows how different all the girls all. It's cool :)
