(marlene)
The next week the only thing i can think of is getting my license.
I turned 16 a few weeks ago, but my dad wanted to make sure I was ready and that I am 'qualified to be a driver.'
"MARLENE," Shauna screams once I sit down.
I nod violently.
"I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW."
I have a car but I've only ever road it with my dad in it.
In three days I will be free.
Uriah sets down his tray and rolls his eyes.
"Don't start acting like you won a Oscar okay I'm not in the mood."
'Not in the mood,' I mouth to Shauna she smiles.
"Mom grounded me," he says buttering his toast.
"Oh," I say, smirking.
"She and I were playing basketball and she lost."
Zeke nods, "yeah that sound right, she doesn't ground you when you go to jail, but does when you beat her at basketball."
It does not surprise me, she once grounded me for 'cheating' at sorry.
Lynn snorts as she brings a spoonful of mack and cheese and Uriah smacks the spoon out of her hand.
I cover my hand to stop a laugh and Lynn glares at him, and then steals his spoon.
"Seriously serious question everyone," Uriah says taking a bite of marshmallow fluff he has, (I've stopped wondering about his food choices a long time ago.)
"Am I fat?"
"Extremely," I answer with no hesitation.

After school Uriah and I go back to my house, because of my dad, and start on a project for science we were pared for.
"We could make a lemon battery." He suggests.
"Excuse me?" I give him a look.
"I was told it works." He says wearing one headphone and twirling the other one with his thumb and index finger.
"That's so stupid." I say through a snort.
"If it was get us a A, then not really."
I crinkle my nose.
"Okay, fine."
We look it online and we need,
1 gauge Copper Wire
2 wits Cutter
3 Steel paper Clip
4 small Galvanized nail
5 (and no shit) lemon
I scribble the items on a piece of paper and hand it to him. He looks at me weird.
"Nice capitalization." he says it like a question.
"Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalization. The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle."
He shrugs and we get it his car and drive to Target.
We get the items and put them into a cart.
"Challenge," he says holding up one finger.
I nod my head, "I'm ready."
"Whoever can find three items that weird out the cashier the most, wins. Rules no condoms or sex toys."
"Right Uriah, because target has sex toys."
He lets out a laugh and grabs a checkered flag in the one dollar section and waves it.
"Three,"
"Two," I smirk thinking of items.
"POUNCE," he screams, drops the flag and we both run to get items.
I run to the maternity section and grab the longest dress I can find, then I run to the other side of the store and grab a giant can of cool whip.
I laugh and run to the music section and grab a Justin Bieber CD from when he sounded like a girl and text Uriah that I'm done.
He runs up to me with a pack of Pokemon cards, Vagisil and three seasons of Little House on the Prairie.
I laugh at his items and we stand in line.
The cashier stares at Uriah with horror, yet amusement.
I put my items on the cart and she laughs.
I pay her.
Uriah goes around the counter and puts his arm around the blond cashier.
"Now," he looks at her name tag that says 'Lindsay' in black writing "Lindsay, out of the two sets of items," he gestures to the bags I'm holding.
"Do you think is more scarring?"
She laughs and twirls her hair, trying to flirt with him.
"Yours." she says with the biggest grin on her face.
I roll my eyes and Uriah whoops in victory.
He tugs on my hand and pulls me back into the car.
We get back home and start on the project.
We start making the lemon battery and we hear my dad walk into the house.
"Marlene, may I ask you a question?" I hear a few moments later.
"You just did," I say and touch my tongue to the wire like the directions tell me.
"Why do you have private medicine, a maternity dress and three seasons of little house on the prairie."
Uriah bursts out laughing and covers his mouth.
"Dunno," I say and Uriah starts to turn red for holding in his laugh.
"Is Uriah here?" He asks.
"Maybe," I say.
He lets out his laugh and tumbled onto the floor from his chair on our table and kicks his legs up out of hysteria.
I laugh and we continue our project after he calms down.
We test it outside and it sets the flashlight and the lemon on fire.
I laugh, "called it."
"How is that even possible?" he says pouring his dr. pepper onto the fire.
"You made it possible Uriah, congrats." I say, clapping
