CRUEL SUMMER : Its Nice To Have A Friend

" Yes. I know how to get into a car." Conrad murmurs in the back seat.

Great, another chance ruined.

Jo walks over to the car and hops in the front seat with Jeremiah in the driver's seat.

"What the hell is going on with you Conrad?" Jo rolls her eyes as she crosses her arms.

"Can we not talk about it, ya'll dont have to be such a bitch about it." Conrad scoffs.

"You say that as if what you did wasn't bitchy enough" Jo claps back.

"Okay thats enough. Belly lets go, get in." Jeremiah stops the two putting his hand on the wheel.

Belly stops talking with the boy she was talking to at the party earlier. Cameron.

"Cam can give me a ride home. Right, Cam?" Belly suggested.

Jolene shook her head at Belly signalling no.

"Yes. That's no problem." Cam added as he pursued.

"No, you're not gonna get in a car with a guy you just met." Jeremiah declined Cam's offer. Jo agreed looking at Belly. Then the guy introduced himself.

"I'm Cam. Cameron." Cameron introduced himself to the three hoping to still pursue the offer.

"Your name is Cam Cameron?" Jeremiah jokingky replied.

"No, it's ju-just Cam. But we actually, we know each other. Seventh grade. Latin convention. So, like, we're not total strangers." Cam replied stuttering slightly as he answered to Jeremiah.

Jo sighed and rolled the window down more as she shut Cam off.

"Okay. No offense, but no. Belly, get in the car." Jo sternly said to her sister. She was followed by Conrad encouraging her strictly.

" Just get in the car." Conrad said.

Belly rolled her eyes slightly

"Uh, you should probably go. But, um, the whaling boat that I intern on, it leaves at dawn every morning from the piers. I was wondering if you would, uh, want to come." Cameron asked Belly out.

"Uh, yeah, yes, sure. I mean, how else will you get your hoodie back, right?" Belly joked and giggled softly.

"That's true." Cam chuckles as well.

"For Christ's sake, come on Belly." Jo said growing tired, she just wanted to go home already.

She hears the car door open as Belly hopped in and bid farewell to Cameron.

Thank God. Wait, No.

They start to leave but then..

" Where the fuck is Steven?! " Jolene remembered Steven wasn't here yet, she tells Jere to stop the car as she gets off storming off to find Steven, Jeremiah following her.

"Where the fuck is he?" Jo frustratingly groans.

"Hey, calm down. He might be with Shayla. " Jeremiah reassures her.
