Sample text:

I looked at my dead cell phone and swore again; my night couldn’t have been worse. It started with a not-promising-any-trouble call from my bestie, who was going through another break-up and desperately needed a distraction. In her case, a distraction meant a nightclub full of hot guys, dancing and a Margarita — A Holy Fucking Trinity, as she called it. Even the choice of words sounded ridiculous, but that was Jill for you.

She and I have been best friends for ages. We met in high school, after my family moved to New York, making me leave everything that I loved so much behind, including my school, friends, and what felt like the biggest love of my life, Andrew Thompson. I thought I would never forgive my folks for ruining our relationship, but after I found out about Andrew kissing Millie Somerfield once I left, I mentally thanked them for saving me from that asshole. And now, after almost seven years of a wonderful, peaceful and even more importantly manless life, I’m standing in the middle of nowhere, hoping I could get back home alive, because I was such a fool and let one of those beautiful bastards that I always tried to ignore, muddle my mind.

Tonight Jill chose one of the new clubs that she had been dying to visit for weeks. She said it was situated not far away from the city, but right now, I desperately wanted to, God forgive me, punch her in the face. For about an hour I had been trying to find my way back home, and I still didn’t see anything but the damn trees and empty road in front of me.
