"Wake up." A voice whispers in my ear, jerking me awake. I hear laughter and turn around to see Connor lying beside me laughing so hard. I grab my phone to check the time, 10:30.

"I hate you." I get up and grab my clothes, going into the bathroom to get ready. I change into the turquoise tank top with a black anchor on it. My black skinnies and black converse. I slip on a black beanie and throw the BVB bracelets around my wrist. I don't bother with makeup, we're just driving home. I go back out into the room to see a smirking Connor.

"Ready to head home?" He asks. I shake my head, getting my stuff together and walking out, a smirking Connor trailing behind. I check the time again, 11:30

"You are paying for food." I state, when I get into his passenger seat.

"So needy." He jokes.

"So stupid." I mock.

"So rude." His tone changes to one of a child.

"So stupid." I repeat, shaking my head.

Nicole: How's life? Everything as I left it?

Tal: What are you talking about?

Nicole: Nothing?

Alex: Do you know something?

Nicole: What would I know?

Alex: Nothing.

Tal: Gosh, what's with all the questions, Kyla?

Nicole: Okay... I'll see you guys when I get home.

Tal: Miss you!

Alex: School is boring today!

"Talia and Alex are acting weird." I say, casually, hoping he knows something.

"They always act weird. It's their personalities." He shrugs.

"I mean weirder than usual." I say.

"Probably just one of those days." He knows something... I know he does... I can feel it.

"Yeah... Probably..." I nod, watching him, suspiciously.

"Stop staring at me like that, it's creepy." He says. I scoff.

"Staring at you? Please." I roll my eyes, annoyed with him.

"Well if you're willing to beg to..." He trails off. My eyes snap to him.

"Are you serious right now?" I ask, angrily.

"You really are an eager one." He's about to get a punch in that face of his... If only he wasn't driving.

"I hate you so much." I inform him. He chuckles at that!

"Are you ready to be home?" He asks, turning all serious.

"I don't know... I mean I didn't really spend much time thinking, but I didn't expect to, I was just hoping getting away would help, but I don't know..." I answer, looking out the window as Oklahoma passes us by.

"Are you going to OU for college?"

"I want to. I've wanted to for as long as I could remember." I shrug. This place is perfect, I don't want to leave.

"It is cool." He says. I turn my head to see him nodding.

"Do you want to?"

"I don't know... My dad's here, but my mom's there... I spent high school with my mom, I think I should at least going to college close to my dad." He says.
