Chapter 5 (Wake Up!) POV- Jennifer

Someone threw a pillow at me.

"Jennifer Salone! Wake up now! You have to drive me to the airport! If you miss the plane... well, a drive from California to New York will be looooong," Bridget snickered at me. She was already dressed in a shirt that said "chocolate" on it and skinny jeans. I groaned and jumped out of bed to brush my curly black hair.

"Shaddap already, Bridget. I need my sleep," I growled after I finished brushing my hair. I switched my huge pj shirt for one of my favorite football jerseys and some shorts. Bridget and I had both packed our bags the night before, so all we had to do was eat some sort of breakfast and then just hop in the car.

"Are you done?" my sister asked me. I turned to face her as I said 'yep'. She sighed as she looked at my face. "No makeup?"

"Nope," I answered. I don't put on makeup. It just isn't necessary. Bridget says that I'm a tomboy, but I have no idea. Is that who you call people that don't wear makeup and ruffle dresses? I don't know why she always bugs me about it.

Bridget sighed and said, "Well, let's hit the road!" I grabbed the car keys from the kitchen counter and an apple out of the fruit basket, running out the door to the jeep that was parked outside.

"Why couldn't you get your licence? We're both 16! Then you could've left me behind," I joked. But I actually did want to go to NYC; I haven't been there before.

Bridget laughed. "I would probably run over an old woman if I tried the driving test a second time! The first test was a disaster!"

I laughed quietly as I thoigt back to the day that Bridget had bursted in through the doorway after her first driving test. "I almost ran over a dog, and so I swerved it and jumped the curb!" she announced that day. Breaking the silence, I turned the key, revving up the engine.

"We're off!"
