"Drive faster!"
"I'm sorry I'm going the speed limit!"
"Well drive faster than that! Do you want to legitimately get killed!?"
"No!"
"I can see his car behind us."
"Hey look its Jefferson--" Margo cut me of and yelled.
"Turn there!"
"Why?"
"We can hide out at your house!"
"He'll find us."
"Park the car at Lacey's and we'll run, then you'll text her when we get back to you house."
"Ok." I pulled into Lacey's driveway. We still had a mile on Carl so we had time to run. I parked the car and and we grabbed our backpacks and ran out.
"This way to our houses." Margo said and I followed her.
I pounded on my front door.
"Mom open up!" she didn't open so I yelled louder.
"MOM OPEN UP!" Margo and I yelled at the top of our lungs. My mom opened the door, she was wearing her pajamas and we probably woke her up.
"Quentin? Margo? What are you guys doing here?"
"Can we just come in?" I asked.
"Sure," we scrambled in and I locked the door behind us, "what's going on?" my mom asked us.
After explaining the whole story, I called Lacey.
"Hey Lace."
"Hey what's going on? Its like one in the morning?"
"Ok well Margo and I trashed her ex boyfriend's house because he abused her. He found us and threatened to kill us. I parked the car in your driveway to throw him off. After I parked the car we ran back to my house. So if you hear an angry knock at the door, answer it and lie for us."
"Ok got it."
"Oh and make yourself look hot."
"Ok?"
"He might buy it more if you look hot."
"Oh, ok got it."
"Thanks."
"No problem, call us ten minutes after he leaves."
"Ok, ten minutes. Got it."
"Great thanks."
"No problemo."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"Why did she say?" Margo asked after I hung up, she was sitting on my bed.
"She'll cover for us." I answered.
"Good, great."
"I told her to wait ten minutes after he leaves to call us."
"Ok."

Lacey's POV
He knocked on the door, I checked through the peephole, yup it was him. I could tell it was him because he was big and scary. I opened the door. I flipped my hair.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"Um yeah is there a pretty girl with brown hair and a dorky guy with brown hair, also, here?" I frowned when he said "dorky".
"No, I'm sorry I can't help you."
"Well I just thought because they have a silver minivan, and there's a silver minivan in your driveway, so..."
"Has it ever occurred to you that I may also have a silver minivan?'
"No, I'm sorry ma'am."
"Well, you should be, good night."
"Good night." as he turned around to leave, I thought that I would scare him a little bit.
"Oh and if you bother me or anyone else in this neighborhood tonight, I will be calling the cops." I said, smiled sweetly, then frowned. I could tell he was uncomfortable. I closed the door and turned around. There stood my parents.
"Hi mom...."
-----------------
Quentin's POV
"Why hasn't she called its been an hour!"
"Just relax maybe he didn't notice that we turned into this subdivision."
"Duh, he did he wasn't that far behind us."
"I bettcha it's safe now, we can probably get the car."
"If you think it's safe...."
"Lets go." we went out into the kitchen where I kissed my mom goodbye, she wasn't too proud of me for quitting school, but I knew she still loved me. We went out the front door and ran back to Lacey's. As I opened the door to the car I heard a voice. I stopped in my tracks.
"Hey loser's, I'm not stupid!" We both turned around, our faces frozen.
