Amy and Caleb had finally made it to the end of Senior Year. Four months later, when autumn arrived, they, on a sunny September morning, they drove to Yale University. 

*Amy's POV*

Caleb and I were on our roadtrip to Yale. 6 Hour-Drive. It was fun. We blasted music inside of Caleb's car, both with our sunglasses on. Starbucks cups were sitting in the cup holders, mine, with a white-chocolate mocha inside, and Caleb's, with a S'mores Frap. The best radio ever with the best music ever, almost Coachella-like, was blasting. Caleb and I sang the lyrics to some of the most popular songs, incluiding Sugar, and Can It Be You. Suddenly, my all time favourite song, that Caleb had heard lots of times because of me, 'Backseat Serenade', by All Time Low, comes in the radio. I squeal and turn the volume up all the way. Caleb laughs and starts singing in the chorus. 

Backseat serenade 

 Dizzy hurricane 

 Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

 You're salty like a summer day 

 Kiss the sweat away 

 To your radio 

I sing, well, scream, the rest of the song, and a group of teenagers that look our age that approach us on the road pull down their windows and sing with us. After the song, I plummet down in my seat again. 

'Amy, you're one crazy girl'-Caleb says with a smile

'But im your crazy girl'- I grin widely. I pull out the camera Ms. Katie gave Caleb and me for us to vlog, and I turn it on. 

'Hello, people! So, Caleb and I are just 3 hours away from Yale! Say hi, Caleb'- I say, pointing the camera at him. 

'Hey, guys, so, I've been driving for 3 long hours, but this lady next to me has kept me company and made me sing a lot of songs.'- he says. 

'You're so cute'-I say-'Okay, so that's for now, we have lots of food and drinks lying everywhere, as you can see'- I say, and direct the camera at my feet, where cans of Arizona, Dr. Pepper bottles, Lemonade bottles, packs of mini donuts and chips, and many more stuff were lying. 

'And, I guess that's it, we'll vlog again once we make it there'- I smile.-'Say bye, Cal'- I say and once again point the camera at him. 

'Amy, you're distracting me'

'How can a camera distract you!'

'It's not the camera, it's the girl behind it!'- He smiles. 

'I love you'- I say, once I turn off the camera. I look at my finger. There was the silver ring, with the blue birthstone. It was the promise ring Caleb gifted me for my quinces. I look outside the window, and plug my headphones in my ears. I slowly fall asleep.

*Caleb's POV*

I suddenly hear deep breathing, and look at my side. Amy was soundly asleep, her headphones still in her ears. Her hand was on top of the arm rest, near mine. I took her hand in mine and stroke it slightly. I smiled. I checked the time. We were almost there. 

An hour later, I woke up Amy, we were 20 minutes away. 

'Amy, babygirl, wake up. We're 20 minutes away from Yale.'- I whispered. She opened her eyes and looked at me. 

'Hi. For how long have I been sleeping?'- She whispered. 

'2 hours'- I say. 

'2 hours!'- She jumps up. She removes her headphones and quickly fixes her hair into a neat ponytail. She wipes all her makeup, and applies only concealer, mascara, eyeliner and chapstick. She quickly fixes all our mess, and stores all her things away. We chat for a little while, until we reach a stop that said: 'Yale University Students Check In'.
