Julie slipped on a pair of black basketball shorts that stopped mid thigh, then grabbed a worn out old T shirt. It was white with the number 88 printed in blue across the chest. It fit her loosely, but it was a crop top that left a lot of skin showing on her midriff. She took a moment to examine her reflection in the mirror, brushed her fingers through her hair, fluffing it back over her shoulders, and she was satisfied. She looked great, but casual. She pulled on a pair of beat up old Nike’s, grabbed a flashlight, and she was ready to roll.
As Julie rode up to Debbie’s house she couldn’t help but feel a small tinge of jealousy. Debbie had the perfect life, and her home was a glaring testament to that fact. While her parents were not filthy rich, to the point where their careers consumed them and they had no time left for their children, they were very well off. They were also so clean and polite and friendly, it was surreal. Her family was like something right out of the Disney channel. Julie reminded herself that she had no room to complain, and rang the door bell.
Debbie opened the door and smiled. “Let’s go,” she said in that sweet, melodic voice of hers. She was wearing short shorts and a tight fitting T shirt that clung to her body and stopped just short of her waist line. Julie admired Debbie’s taste and sense of style. She always looked good, no matter the occasion. Debbie also had a large flashlight and a lantern tied together and slung over her shoulder.
“Let’s do it,” Julie agreed. The girls hopped on their bikes and rode off into the desert.
As Julie shoved the rotted board aside, revealing the entrance to the cavern, Debbie began to have second thoughts.
“I can’t believe we’re really going in there,” she said. “What if there’s like spiders and stuff?”
“Ay, relax Deb’s, we’ll be fine,” Julie said confidently.
“Maybe you can go in and I’ll wait for you out here.”
Julie just shrugged. “Do what you want,” she said, climbing down into the hole.
“Ahhh, fuck it,” Debbie declared before climbing in after Julie.
The cave was larger than they had suspected, and several tunnels branched out from the far end. Debbie fired up her lantern and the girls made their way down to the trio of tunnels. Julie felt her heart thumping excitedly in her chest. She felt like an explorer from the old times, embarking on some new ground breaking adventure. This was quite a discovery.
“What the fuck,” Julie marveled in an awestruck voice.
“I know, right? Do you think it’s an abandoned mine shaft?”
“Maybe.” Julie wondered if they would get any type of reward for finding this place.
“So which way do you wanna go first?” Debbie asked.
