The radio pumps metal rock song one after the other in high volume, making the speakers vibrate non-stop. The car smells of cigarettes, cheap perfume and beer. Outside, the street lamps run in the opposite direction the car is moving. The black tar road, winds on and on.

The girl sits on the stained seat - a mess of plastic cups thrown around her feet. She shakes her head, taps her feet, waves her arms and then takes a swig from the bottle in her hand. Her eyes are glazed and shining and she gives a dazzling smile to the driver.

The driver smiles back and exhales a puff of smoke. Their clothes stick to their lean bodies and their hair is plastered onto their scalps. The song changes; the driver cheers. The girl mischievously pokes his side. He erupts into giggles. She laughs, head thrown back. Her fingers reach the side of his hip and she begins to tickles him, making the boy emit shrieks and squeals. He tries to swat her hands away, unsuccessfully, and her fingers continue to draw squirms and giggles from the boy.

"NO! Addy, come on."

"Stop being a spoilsport."

He ruffles her hair and seeing she won't gives up, uses both his hands to pry her fingers away.

The light in the horizon grows. They are smiling. A horn pierces the night air. They look ahead. 

The truck comes.

They scream.
