It's been a fun week. I've spent every day just hanging out with my friends. We've gone to the beach. We've gone cruising on the boat. I've spent almost every night sleeping at either John B's, JJ's, or Sarah's boat. It's honestly been one of the best weeks of my life. And tonight... today we're going somewhere. I don't know where. It's a surprise. But I'm excited. I'm excited to let loose and have fun while I can. Because soon enough I'm going to start working at Sarah's.

I had an "interview" a few days ago with Sarah and Rafe's dad, Ward Cameron. He mostly just listed the things I would need to do. I can arrive anytime I'd like each day, just as long as things got done on time. He was also kinda really hot. I see where Rafe gets it from.

But I don't start that job until Monday. So I've got just a few days left to stay up all night and have fun.

"Hey I'm going to game night tonight, will you be staying at your friend's again?" Grams walks downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Oh. Yeah. I'll probably stay at JJ's again."

"Ok. And don't forget your therapist appointment tomorrow morning."

"Of course."

"Are you doing well?" She looks me in the eyes.

"I'm great."

"Happy to hear that." She goes to the door. "Parker. I'm really proud of you."

"Thanks."

"Movie night soon?"
"Of course. Comedy? Action? Horror?"

"Mamma Mia?" We both laugh.

"Of course."

"Have fun."

"You too." She leaves.

"Bitch! Come on!" I hear Kiara shouting from outside the house.

I suddenly realize what time it is and run downstairs and out the front door. I run over to John B's van and jump in, everyone sitting there greeting me.

"So what're we doing today?" I look around and they all just shrug their shoulders. "John B, where we going?" He looks back in the rearview mirror and just smiles. "Really?"

"They won't tell us anything," Kiara says and I look to Sarah in the passenger seat.

"What?" She smirks and then tells John B to turn left.

"My guess is the beach." Pope chimes in.

"What? How dumb can you be?" JJ jumps up. "We go to the beach every day. It's gotta be something special."

"What? We like the beach." Pope has that dopey innocent look he always gets.

"My guess is Corolla." Taylor puts her guess in.

"Maybe." Kiara reaches for a blanket.

"No." That's all JJ says.

"Then where do you think we're going?" Pope looks to JJ.

"Somewhere."

"Oh! Bullshit!" Kiara gets close to him.

"Come on. Tell us." I look at him and he just smirks.

"Kitty Hawke," JJ says and Sarah immediately turns around, and everyone notices. "Told ya."

"How'd you know?" Sarah is as surprised as the rest of us.

"Wait! He's right?" Kiara and Taylor say at the same time.

"What can I say? I'm a genius." Everyone just laughs at that.
