The next day I finish packing and as I wait for Kelsey. Soon I see her blue van pull up to my green house. I say good bye to my mom, dad, dog and brother and walk out to the car. Kelsey has a remorseful smile on her face as I approach her.

"What?"I ask.

"Their parents asked us to, it wasn't my fault."

"What?"

"Mark and Drake are coming with us."

"The whole time?"

She nods . Mark is Kelsey's boyfriend. Drake was his brother. He is the kind of guy I try to stay away from. I don't like 'bad boys'. They are rude, mean and pushy. Two other words that come to mind are parties and alcohol.

"And I promised mark I'd sit next to him."

"Of course. I'll be in a car with Drake and your mom for an hour."

"Sorry." She says as we climb into her blue car. We pull up to a white house and Mark and Drake are outside. Kelsey gets out of her car and gives Mark a hug. She points to the car I was in, then goes into her dad, Frank's car. Drake opens the door and sits next to me. Delilah starts the car and we start to move. I see Drake staring at me with my peripheral vision. I knew it would be a long and silent car ride.
