Get Weird

Chapter 3

Jessicas POV

Everyone piled in the car. Ders was driving, Adam was in the passenger seat, and me and Blake were in the back. Once we were all situated, Ders began to drive.

"So, how long should this ride take?" I asked. Adam turned around.

"Around thirty minutes." He answered. "And sorry it took so long, Jess."

"There was a lot of evening traffic." Ders said.

"Not to mention the fact that Ders drives slower than an old person." Blake said with a huge smile, laughing. Adam began to laugh also. I sat there with a confused smile on my face. Ders looked frustrated.

"Well, if you don't like my driving, then why don't you just get your license, Blake?" Ders asked Blake, looking at him in the rear-view mirror. Blake rolled his eyes, looking slightly frustrated.

"We talked about this earlier, Ders! I don't like the DMV!" he said. What?

"Why don't you like the DMV?" I asked him. He turned towards me.

"Because, truthfully, the people at the DMV scare me." He answered, slightly blushing. I smiled, but furrowed my eyebrows.

"Why do they scare you?"

"Because they're like creepy zombie people and I don't like it!" he yelled slightly, causing me to lean back a little, holding up my hands in defense.

"Wow, calm down braj." I said, laughing slightly. He blushed a little more at his sudden outburst.

"Sorry." He said, then sat back. I looked up front at Adam.

"If Blake can't drive, then why don't you, Adam? I know you have your license." I said. He turned back slightly and looked at me, mouth gaping like a fish, looking for words to say...?

"I, uh... um..."

"He has too many DUIs." Ders interrupted. My eyes widened and my mouth fell open. I looked between a gaping mouthed Adam who was looking at Ders, to a blank faced Ders who didn't even seem to be fazed by what he had just said. I coughed out, then began my rant.

"What?! Adam! You were drinking and driving?!" I asked, or (more or less) yelled. Adam immediately turned back around and faced me.

"No! I was drinking before I drove!" he said. My mouth stayed open.

"But that doesn't mean that you go out driving!" I said.

"Ya man, plus you have drank and drive before." Blake inserted. My shocked expression grew bigger as I turned towards Blake, who looked at me, confused. I looked back at Adam, who was glaring at Blake. I turned back to Blake.

"What?!" I yelled at him, causing him to lean back. I glanced at Ders, who was glancing at us in the rear-view mirror, also confused. I sat there for a second, taking it all in before speaking up again.

"Why do you guys look so confused? Driving under the influence is, like, illegal! Plus, somebody could get hurt!" I said. Blake just sat back in his seat with a guilty look on his face while Ders concentrated on the road. Adam also sat back in his chair, guilty.

"Adam Dwayne DeMamp! You should not be drinking and driving! And I don't know you two very much, but you guys shouldn't drink and drive either! What if you run over or hit someone? You could get yourself or someone else killed or can even go to jail! Adam, have you ever been arrested for drinking and driving?" I asked. He didn't answer me. I took that as a yes.

"Oh my god, Adam! Do mom and dad know?" I asked. He immediately sat up and faced me. He's afraid of getting in trouble with our parents.

"No! Please don't tell them, Jess! Please please paaallleeeeaassseee!!!" he begged. I just sat back and huffed, crossing my arms, contemplating on what to say. Blake was staring at us as if we were a movie and he was waiting for the big reveal. As for Ders, he just kept his eyes on the road. I'm guessing that he's listening though. I rolled my eyes and drew in a big breath.
