I zip up my pants and walk over to the line of sinks near the door. The urinal flushes automatically and I hear the loud swish of the water as the bowl drains then refills. For once my mind isn't racing. It's usually going from idea to idea to idea to oh look a butterfly. "The power of ADHD." I sigh. But now it's just...blank. I just don't have that natural flow of thoughts like I usually do. Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm in a public bathroom with like 3 other guys. Or at least I hope they're guys. I mean these days I can barely tell which is which. Just last week I thought my substitute teacher was a guy and said mister but of course I was wrong and that 'he' was actually a 'she'. I laugh a little to myself. That day was actually pretty funny now that I think about it. I need to hurry up and get out there and see if Caitlyn enjoyed my little surprise for her. I quickly finish up and run out the bathroom. Pushing through the glass doors I make my way across the parking lot where a deep blue Mustang with matte black rims is waiting. And a very irritated Caitlyn leaning on the hood, arms crossed, glaring at me. I smile. Good she must have discovered my surprise.

Trying not to laugh I say, "How come you're not in the car?"

"You know exactly why!" She yells punching me in the chest.

"Oh I'm sorry I must have 'accidentally' given you the wrong key." Pulling the real key out of my pocket I press the unlock button and the air fills with the sound of car doors unlocking.

"You suck", she pouts opening the passenger door and sitting down,"oh and I call shotgun."

I sit in the drivers side, close the door, and put my seat belt on. Then I stick my key in the ignition and twist. The engine roars to life. Man I love the sound of this car. Perfect. Just perfect.

"Oh and a heads up," I put the car into reverse, "you don't need to call it if there's no one else."
