Jennifer's POV

I roll over and shut off my alarm. I get out of bed and rub my eyes as I walk to the bathroom. I put my contacts in and brush my teeth. I decided to just french braid my hair. I wash my face and then pick out my outfit. I throw on skinny jeans and put on an oversized green sweater and my brown booties. I grab my phone and backpack and run downstairs.


"Morning mom!"
"Drive your brother to school today."
"What, why?"
"Because I said so."
"Okay!" I reply sassily.


I grab a granola bar from a bowl on the table and go to the pantry. I pick out a water bottle and fill it with ice water.
I sprint upstairs and quickly pack a bag for lacrosse. When I come back down Luke is waiting at the door.

"You have everything?"
"Yeah, let's go."


I grab my car keys and lacrosse stick as we walk to the garage. We throw our stuff in the back of the car and get in the front seats. My brother goes to West Central, which is across town. The only reason they let him go is because he stays at my dad's a lot, more than I do. My dad and I don't get along that well, but he and Luke do, and since he's the only guy in my mom's house, he likes to stay with my dad most nights. As we pull up to his school I see Grayson and Ethan. They see me too and walk over to my car. I say bye to Luke as he runs off and I roll down my window.


"Jen!" They say together.
"Hey guys!"
"What are you doing at West?" Grayson asks.
"Dropping Luke off, he's trying out for varsity lacrosse today!'
"Really? We'll have to put a good word in for him then!" Ethan says.
"That'd be awesome because he'd shut up about it. All he talks about is making varsity. He thinks if he doesn't make it freshman year, then colleges won't care."
"Why the hell is he thinking about college?"
"Because Liam came home over spring break and started talking about lacrosse, which then lead to all of us scrimmaging and now Luke thinks he needs to be as good as Liam."
"Sounds logical." Grayson jokes.
"Yeah right. See you guys later, I'm gonna be late to school."
"Oh yeah, you have to drive all the way to East now." Ethan says.
"Wouldn't it be easier if you could go to West?" Grayson adds.
"It would, but then I'd have to go to school with you two, and that would be a downside."
"Ouch!"
"Later guys."
"Bye Jen!"


I put the car in drive and take off. I look at the time, 8:57, and realize I only have 3 minutes to the bell and I'm 10 minutes away. I step on the gas.


*police sirens*


"Oh crap."
I pull over my car and turn off my music. I reach over to the glove box and pull out the registration. I get my wallet out of my purse and hear a knock on the window. I jump and look over to see the cop standing outside my window. I roll it down and tuck my hair behind my ear.
"Hello officer!"
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"I was speeding?"
"You were going 40 in a 20."
"I'm sorry, it's just, I had to drop my brother off at school, and then I was trying to make it to my school before the bell."
"License and registration please."
"Yes of course."
I unzip my wallet and pull out my license and hand him everything. I watch him look over everything and examine it very closely.
"Don't move."


He walks back to his car and I take a deep breath. I look down at my phone and see a text from my friend Maggie. 


'where the hell r u the teachers r flipping. u cant get another late day!'

'ik! i got pulled over for speeding. ill get there as soon as i can.'


I put my phone down and look in my mirror. The cop is radioing something and looking at me. I tap my fingers on the steering wheel and nervously wait for the cop to come back.
"Miss, could you please step out of the car?"
"Why what's wrong?"
"Are you aware that this car is illegal?"
"What! No, that can't be the case."
"Please step out of the car."
"No there has to be a mistake."
"Step out of the car."


I slide my phone in my pocket and put my wallet in my bag. I unbuckle and open the door. The cop turns me around and hand cuffs me. He reads me my rights and puts me in the back of his car.
After I get processed and everything, I'm put into a jail cell. My hands are shaking and sweating. I grip them together to try and stop it but doesn't work. What the fuck is happening?
