The next day, we are all all hanging out at the chateau and planning out everything for Barbados.

"How are we gonna get there?" Kiara asks us.

"We don't have passports so we can't drive." I tell them.

"We could take the HMS." JJ says.

John B shakes his head, "it barely makes it anywhere as is. There is no way it will make it to Barbados."

JJ jumps and I look at him, confused. He has an idea...

"The Phantom!"

We all give him confused looks then Sarah speaks up, "the what?"

"My dad's boat. He used to race it and he always won."

"Would he let us take it?" Pope asks him.

JJ shakes his head, "there's no way. He loves the thing more than he loves me, but I'm already a disappointment, so we might as well take it." He tells us.

We all lookout each other with confused face but none of us choose to fight it.

"Well, now that we've got transportation down, we need to figure out how to tell our parents." John B says to all of us.

"There is no way Mike and Anna are gonna let me go to another country with my friends," Kiara tells us.

Pope shakes his head, "mine won't let me go either."

Sarah agrees with the two of them, then JJ speaks up, "my did isn't gonna give a fuck."

John B shrugs, "why don't we just... not tell them?"

Pope shakes his head, "I can't do that to my pops."

JJ taps his shoulder then speaks, "just don't think about it. Then it's like we aren't doing anything wrong."

We all go silent. After a few minutes, Kiara speaks up.

"Running away and stealing a boat is exactly what I planned to do this summer."

"Would you rather go back to school next month?" I ask her.

Everyone goes quiet again, silently agreeing that going to Barbados just might be the best thing to do.

"Great," John B says as he claps his hands together, "we'll leave on Tuesday."
