3rd Person POV

"Juliette?" Her brother called from the kitchen.

"What?" She called from her room struggling to put a shoe on.

"We have to go! It's only the 5th day." He called back.

"Hold on, Jaylen!" Juliette called out grabbing her backpack. She rushed out to her anxious brother. He was always stressed out about time management. She wasn't terrible at it, but she wasn't the best before 7 in the morning.

"Ready?" She asked.

"I've been ready for 10 minutes." He said dramatically.

"Do you want a ride or not?" She snapped back. He rolled his eyes at her. "Bye mom!" She yelled before opening the door.

"Bye, I love you guys!" She yelled. They left for Juliette's car and pulled out of the driveway.

Juliette was Jaylens only form of transportation at the current moment. Jaylen was only 15 and a sophomore. Juliette was 16, 17 in September and a junior.

"Hey jule?" Jaylen asked her quietly.

"Yeah?" She responded taking a sip of her coffee, Jaylen made it for her. It was disgusting, but she drank it for his sake.

"Can you drive me and Danny to Sams after school?" He asked.

"Sam who?" Juliette asked drawing a blank at the name.

"Kiszka." He said.

"As in Jake and Josh Kiszka?" She asked.

"Yeah, you know them?" He asked her excitedly.

"Sadly, yes." She retorted.

"Why sadly?" Jaylen asked confused. "What's wrong with Jake and Josh?"

"Jake, I'm fine with. Josh on the other hand..." She said trailing off.

"What'd he do?" He asked intently.

"He's just a lunatic." Juliette said.

"Okay, well, do you think you can drive us after school?" He asked. "Please?"

She looked at his begging face. "Fine." She said. "Only because I like Danny."

"Yes! Thank you!" He cheered and typed on his phone.

"But you guys have to be ready to go. I have tennis practice right after school."

"We'll be there." Jaylen said promisingly.

She slightly smiled feeling like a good sister. The thought of going to the Kiszka's though? That's another problem.

The bell rang signaling dismissal. Juliette rushed out to the car. She double checked for her racket and tennis shoes in her trunk. She closed it with no sight of Jaylen nor Danny.

"Where are they?" She asked impatiently. It would be a 10 minute drive out of the way to go to the Kiszkas area of town, then 7 minutes to the tennis courts.

She got out her phone and hit the call button for Jaylen. It rang about three times when it stopped and Jaylens voice began.

"...yea?"

"Where are you guys at?"

"Dannys getting something out of his locker."

"Oh my gosh, please hurry up. Tell Danny to hurry up."

Juliette could hear Danny and Jaylen converse in the background.

"I can't get my combination to work Julie." Danny's voice rang through the phones speaker.
