LANELLE DOESN'T KNOW HOW SHE GOT HERE, but as the girls went outside the boys found a golf cart and decided to drive it manically.

"I'm hitting the gas!" Cam confirmed over all the guy's yelling.

"Oh yeah!"

"Come on!"

"Doesn't really..it's not supposed to go that fast." Cam said nervously as the boys continued shouting at him to go faster.

"Can you boys calm down? You're going to give Cam a heart attack." Lanelle chuckled as she looked at the boy in distress.

Cam pointed at her in agreement, "She's right!"

Steven and Jeremiah were on the back of the golf cart, jumping up and down like mad men.

"Can you try and be a little more quiet? Cause we're actually not even supposed to be out here." Cam questioned, his stress piling up.

"Come on, hit the gas!" Jeremiah yelled

"Wait, guys, guys, guys. I think I know what the problem is, man I think there's too many of us on here." Conrad informed them sarcastically

"That makes sense." Jeremiah shrugged as he pushed Steven off the back, "Go, go!"

"You are so gonna pay for that!" Steven stated as he ran after the golf cart.

THE GROUP FOUND A PLACE TO CRASH, they all set up their blankets.

Lanelle watched as Taylor lit the top of the apple bong up and inhaled the smoke — which came from weed that Taylor found in a jacket.

"Taylor, volleyball camp is in four day." Belly scolded her friend.

"It's not like they're gonna drug test us." Taylor stated, "Coach would've had to put that in her email, right?" She questioned worriedly.

Lanelle shook her head, "She didn't put it in the email."

Right, to catch you up. Lanelle moved to Belly's town as her mom wasn't taking good care of her, she needed someone to support her — her mom knew that it couldn't be her, so now she's temporarily living at Laurel's — since she's her godmother.

"What email?" Belly asked

"The one threat we got yesterday about camp? Have you talked to coach yet?" Taylor asked curiously

"Umm.. no — not yet."

"Belly..." Lanelle sighed as she trailed off her word

Taylor sighed, "I swear if you bail on us again..." 

"No, no, no I'm not bailing. I want to go." Belly nodded

"Don't tell us that, tell coach." Lanelle commented

"Okay, yeah. I'll text her right now." Belly affirmed as she took her phone out of her pocket.

As Lanelle and Taylor helped Belly text their coach,  Steven approached the group.

Lanelle looked at him and as they made eye contact her body heated up — the previous events flashing back in her mind, and pretending that nothing happened was killing her.
