“Seriously, Puck?” I ask him with a nervous laugh. What makes him think that we started dating? I can see Kenza blushing out the corner of my eye.

“You guys asked me to guess,” He says laughing loudly. “But really what did you guys want to tell me?” He asks still laughing, a booming laugh.

“I got my license and a car today!” I say excitedly.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYEXaVDFmm
“Really? That’s great, dude!” He says, almost as excitedly as I did. “Does that mean you guys are coming today?”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPgbyKyibM
“Yep! We’re gunna pack as soon as we get off the phone then the three of us will be on our way!” Kenza answers him. The embarrassment about us dating completely forgotten.

“Alice is coming too?” He asks. Probably because he doesn’t see why we would bring her if she has school tomorrow.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0441GYl9z
“She doesn’t have school tomorrow so I’ll bring her back tomorrow night.” I quickly explain.

“Awesome! We’re almost all together again!” Puck exclaims.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8F9cnWWl
“Yeah….now we just gotta find Aviana and Star.”I say sadly. Hopefully it won’t be hard to find them and then we could all be together.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLMsP1498m
“Yeah…”Puck starts and trails off. “I’m gunna go so you guys can pack and also Peter and Will are coming by to hang for a while.”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmb40S9PLl
“Alright. See ya soon!” I reply.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSoEzlyrs
“Bye Puck!” Says Kenza right before the call ends.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uSI6TlHXk
I put my phone down on the floor beside me and look around my room before I get up to start packing. Without a word Kenza also gets up goes back to packing her pile of stuff on the bed.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pqSQkQ5AS
I grab a bag out of my closet and just start throwing random clothes in it. After I finish that I go to the bathroom and pack all that I need from there.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiWAhk5RYq
Kenza had finished before me and went to make sure Alice got all she needed.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiQJhesSmo
We were packed and had everything loaded in the car before the hour was over.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPr9pmjRgJ
Now we’re standing in the living with my parents talking about the rules and other stuff for while we’ll be gone. They were the basic rules plus some saying that we can’t go out past 11 and we must watch Alice.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjGrPD5dk
After we finished going over the rules we started to say our goodbyes.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqOXkiFuS3
“Bye Mom, Dad.” I say, trying to hurry us out so we could be there soon. “Thank you for letting us go.” I add on the end.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILVMzqiEMc
“Bye son. Don’t forget to call us when you get there and every so often so we know you guys are okay.” Dad says. That was one of the rules: we had to call every so often and let them know what’s been going on.

“We put some money into an account for you guys to get a hotel room and for food and whatever else you need.” Mom adds on. “Here’s the card to the account. Please don’t just blow this money fast. We may have money but we don’t have an unlimited amount. So please, spend it considerably.”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqYV0CDVGs
“Thank you! You guys are amazing!” I hurriedly thank them. I was so happy that they were allowing us to go and giving us so much responsibility. It was amazing.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gux5LaJen
“Your welcome. And we love you!” Mom shouts as I walk out the door and climb into the driver's seat of my new truck.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5y7Zn268
Neither Alice nor Kenza were in the truck yet, they were still saying their goodbyes. Everyone had now come outside into the front yard. I left my door open so I could hear what was said between my parents and Kenza.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t2WSAzGzy
Kenza was standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do till Mom pulled her into a hug. The surprise was clear on Kenza’s face as she was pulled in, then she slowly wrapped her arms around Mom also.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYyyN9kyD
“I’m sorry for the way I was acting, sweetie.” Mom apologizes to her.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx5Tt3bAIU
“It’s o-”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeKGCD7Vgv
“No it’s not.” Mom says, stopping Kenza from saying that it’s okay. “I had no right to act that way towards you. My son was doing the right thing and helping out his friend who was in need. I’m proud of him for that. Even though I was not happy at first. I understand why he did it though.”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0tXvjztjK
Kenza was speechless for a few moments. She went to pull away from the hug but Mom leaned in and whispered something in her ear. I couldn’t hear what she said but whatever it was it made Kenza blush and nod.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4c8VW6HDm
Next Dad also hugged Kenza. Giving a simple apology and wishing her good luck to be living in a one room hotel with me for as long as we were staying.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5tzdPvmiu
While Dad was talking to Kenza Mom had pulled Alice into a tight hug and told her to behave and to listen to me. She also double checked that Alice had everything she would need before giving her a huge kiss, on the cheek goodbye.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJ05q9V1D
Kenza came and got in next to me in the passenger seat and we watched Alice say bye to Dad. I closed my door so I could talk to Kenza without any of them over hearing.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoWmigKUvi
“So what did my mom whisper to you?” She immediately blushes and looks away from me.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne6ViYnXzw
“Nothing…”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeha6APBnr
“Oh come on. I know she said something and that’s why you’re blushing now. Just like you were when she said whatever she said to you.” Her blush got an even darker red.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4jV4A2gG
“I don’t want to say it.” She mumbles to where I barely heard her.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRmR7upv3H
“It can’t be that bad.” Can it? I can’t even think of anything my mom could say that could embarrass Kenza like this.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7EUUqW34m
“No. It’s not bad. Just embarrassing.” She’s still not looking at me.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFdYeEVOrk
“Just tell me. You know you can tell me anything.” I say, trying to persuade her into telling me.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGif1S7hmS
“But I don’t want to.” She pauses for a second. “And plus it involves you too.” It involves me? What? What is she getting at? What could have embarrassed her that involves me?
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXq1ZTKlu
“Me?”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbetEQTqSC
“Yes you, Luke.” She says looking up for a second to roll her eye then looks away again real quick.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1CyPbN9eQ
“What could she possibly have sad to embarrass you that involves me?” I ask getting more confused the more this conversation goes on.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1npor9MnG
“Fine do you really want to know?” She says, finally giving in.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECi0smTGHY
“Yes! I’ve only been trying to get it out of you from the moment you got in the car.” I exclaim.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJejo5sLF3
“Well she said-”
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkddKXN0DNQ
“Hey Guys! Let’s go!” Alice yells opening the door and climbing in the back seat.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEU0hlqPEE
“Yes let’s go!” Kenza says smirking at me, blush now gone. Alice just had to get in at that moment. She couldn’t have waited a few seconds longer? Now I have to wait till I can get Kenza alone again and who knows when that will be.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftMckbC9G
I made sure Alice was buckled up and then started to back out of the driveway. Mom and Dad stood on the front yard still, waving bye and Alice and Kenza were waving back. Kenza was still smirking at me.
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4OfKMRXVD
With that we were on our way to Puck. An hour or so away.
