Before School

Since the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban the kids drove to school could seat nine, everyone was already in the car when Jeremy finally got in. Matt was at the wheel ready to honk. Jo wasn't enrolled yet, but the car would be full when she joined the daily carpool.

Matt muttered, "About fuckin' time."

Tyler smirked, "Dad had a little talk with you, didn't he?"

Jeremy glanced two seats back at Dana and Rachael and whispered, "Shut up."

Both girls had ear buds in and were not paying attention to the boys' conversation.

Erik punched Jeremy on the arm lightly and said, "I thought you were just grounded, man."

"I asked if I could change it, so um, I could ask Bonnie out. Look, guys, if I don't move quickly, Luka is gonna ask her to the dance. That smooth fucker," Jeremy asserted hotly.

"Smooth fucker? Damn, bro, that guy got to you," Tyler laughed.

"Nah, dreams of Bonnie in a bikini got to you," Matt corrected loudly.

Tyler smirked, "Hey, we've all gotten a sore ass over less."

Jeremy flushed, "Look, it was worth it, if I even have a chance." Jeremy shifted a little in his seat and winced.

"Probably hurt more after the morning you had, I remember when Uncle Elijah busted my ass after I got caught with my cell phone that time in the bathroom,-" Matt started rambling.

Tyler snickered loudly and said, "No, dude, don't go there."

Kai hissed, "Shut the hell up! My sisters...!" Kai glanced back at the twins in the back seat sharply.

Dana yanked out an earbud and grinned, "We don't give a shit to what pervy things you are talking about!"

Rachael ripped out her headphone and smirked, "Or maybe we do, you idiots will never know. Guys are just...gross. Also, wear more deodorant, less Axe, that spray smells like ass."

After a moment of silence, the girls went back to their music.

Jeremy groaned and slumped down in his seat and then shifted. His ass did sting more than he thought it would, but what really hurt was seeing how happy Bonnie had been to leave with Luka. She should have just stabbed him in the heart.

"You know, I might just be human, but there is something off about that Luka and his freaking dad. Call it a hunter vibe. They aren't who they say they are," Jeremy announced.

"Who is in this town?" Connor replied.

"I thought he was nice," Erik said honestly.
