IT was after graduation from Grade School when four best friends namely: Jeaneth, Janice, Joan and Jenny realized that it would be exciting if four of them would enroll in the same school located fifteen minutes walking distance from their homes.
Not only these four girls are close friends somehow they have some unique attributes and character that are purely fascinating and enticing. No they are not sisters. They are not siblings of one big family. It's just that they are childhood friends and they live closely together in a sub-urban subdivision named AppleGate. They all belong to a Middle Class family.
How these girls get along well together is quite impressive. Do you know why?It is not because their names start with letter J.
The subdivision called AppleGate is built with a very distinguished concept. An architectural design made through the artistic and creative idea of Joan's father named Mr. Joseph Richter.
Joseph Richter is an architect by occupation. He is married to Anna Richter, a public school teacher.
The Richter family is closely related with the rest of the residents of the AppleGate by means of affiliation. Community inter action or integrated system likened to a cooperative runs inside the subdivision.
The subdivision has a unique design style similar to the famous "crop circle" in England. Rows of houses are built around the main or center plaza. The center integral part of the subdivision is where the members and officers of the AppleGate have their monthly meeting, party, and other community functions. naming them would mean occupying much space. The small community of 35 families (with 3 bedroom house with private yard and patio) have their own private swimming pool, gym, and a mini golf course. Quite splendid! remarkably sense of grandeur in appearance.
Now let's go back to the 4 important characters in the story: Janice, Jeaneth, Joan and Jenny sipping their pink lemonades, pop, burger and fries at Wendy's, when Jeaneth opened up a topic.
Jeaneth: You know what girls? My parents would like to send me to La Concordia High School.
Jenny: Oh really? Good for you. I don't know if I could enroll in private school when there is public school that offers the same curriculum.
Joan: I like Concordia. Isn't that the school exclusively for girls only? Where the instructors are all nuns?
Jeaneth: Yes it is. That's why.
Janice: I don't know where I would go. It's up to my parents to decide. It's them who will shoulder the tuition fee if I would be in private school.
Joan: Well, I hope you will not end up like a nun Jeaneth.
And they all chuckled and laughed mischievously.
After that afternoon snack the four girls went to the moviehouse nearby (also in the same mall where the fastfood bar counter is). They bought 4 tickets of the movie. Seventy two people in a line up. Maybe the movie is good. It was a comedy picture with few inserts of drama. The movie is tailored for the youth of today.
The theater opens up with short advertisement like if you want to purchase pop, candies, po corn or any other snacks at the concession located at the lobby of the cinema. Then trailer of movies coming soon to that theater were played. The loud sensurround sound filled the air especially when the movie trailer happens to be an action, suspense thriller. After three new movies flashed on the screen the main movie comes out and the girls kept their mouth shut and opened their eyes as wide as they want to focus their attention on that movie about the "Pink Ladies."
Two hours had passed. The four girls were teary eyed. Joan cried so hard and still sobbing outside the cinema.
"It was a very sensitive movie. I first thought it was a comedy." Joan could not help but uttered she was ripped of her 8 bucks.
Jenny, Janice and Jeaneth burst out with laughter until there were tears on their eyes.
