"HEY GUYS! COME HERE LOOK AT THIS!" Tuck shouted from the other side of Alex's house. I groaned and stood up off the hallway floor, stretching my arms and legs.

As I was walking down the hall, blatantly staring down at my shoes, I ran right into Munch. He jumped back a little and dropped a box full of weird, colorful wires.

"Oh! Sorry, Munch..didn't see you.." I exclaimed.

"i-its okay, Hannah." He reassured me, picking up his box.

I've known Tuck, Munch and Alex since we were little. We do everything together. I mean, all 4 of us don't really fit in with any of the other groups at our school, so we kind of just created our own little friend group. But that was about to change, very fast.

Let me tell you a little bit about everyone, first.

Tuck, well, he's like an older brother to me. He's always been there for me through hard times, and he means a lot to me.

Munch..he's an amazing kid. He's smart, and funny, and will always try to help you look at the bright side of things. People generally assume he's just weird and that's it...but, it's not true. So don't assume it.

Alex..okay I've kinda had a thing for Alex for a long time but, I know my chances with him are just a blind shot in the dark. He does act like we're together, though..but we haven't technically kissed. He's kissed me once on the cheek, but Tuck dared him to do it.

Recently, everyone in our neighborhood has been evicted, and we are all being forced to move out. Personally, I think it's ridiculous. I mean, why would they want to build a freeway right through an entire neighborhood? Can't they just go around us?

Thanks for paving a road and destroying the only place any of us have ever found friends.

"Hey Hannah, Munch, where's Tuck?" Alex came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, setting his head on my shoulder.

"He's in his room right?" I turn my head and face his. He lightly brushed his lips side to side against my nose with a smile on his face as Munch awkwardly stood there with his box of wires. I blushed a little, looking over at Munch, then back at Alex.

"Nah, he's not in his room. Is he outside in the backyard?" Alex asked.

"L-Lets go check, guys.." Munch interrupted.

Alex giggled, and sensing Munch's uncomfortableness, he pulled away from me. Alex and I followed Munch down the hall and out to the backyard. There, we found Tuck, staring down at his phone.

"Guys, look at this!" He exclaimed, showing us his phone screen.

"What, did you find a girlfriend with it?" Alex joked, quickly glancing over at me, then back at Tuck's phone.

Tuck looked at Alex with an annoyed expression before saying "no."

"Woah, what is this?" I asked, after walking over to Tuck and examining his Nokia Lumia.

There was an uncoordinated mixture of different shades of blue and white, with an arrow-like thing moving, and pointing into the mixture.

"It looks like some sorta map. And that must be our location." Munch explained, pointing at the origin of the moving arrow.
