I walked into my room and walked to my dresser.  I honestly have no idea what to wear, how to act, or even how to feel.  I changed from black basetball shorts to a pair of normal jeans.   Then I changed from a blue tee-shirt to black tee-shirt.  I thew on a sweat shirt over it and went to the bathroom.  I have this really weird cowlick and it makes me look nurdyer.  I combed through it a little and walked back to my bedroom.  I had a special spot for books on my book self.  Mainly all the things on the book shelf has old records and CD's. I put it down and pulled my phone out of my pocket saw Scarlett's name at the top of my phone.

" Hey little buddy you ready to get this over with?"  The perky, yet angry voice asked.  

" Uhg and you do know youre only like four months older than me, right?"

" Yeah I know.  So you comein?" She asked nicely.

" Yeah be right out," I stated and ended the call. I walked down the stairs and didn't see anyone at the table.  All the paper work was gone and everything looked as if it had never been touched.

" Mum!" I yelled. I looked all around and then noticed a small little notecard taped to the doorknob.  It read: going out with some old friends see you at around eleven or tewlve.  Love you. It then ended with a cute small pink heeart.  I walked over to the small, dark bathroom and crumpled up the small paper into the trash.  I ran quickly and left my house.  Before I ran to the car I locked the door, to the big house.  

Once I got in the truck Scareltt lifted her head from her phone and had on the greatest, most beautiful smile.  

" There you are I was just about to phone you," she stated as I put on my seat belt.  

" Hey when are you going to listen to those records?" I asked.

" Um i dont care.  Did you start the book yet?" She asked stating to back out of the drive way. 

" Um not exactly. But I did put it on my shelf," I said looking and feeling proud.

" Thats good at least your making progress," she said sounding very professional.  She stared at me for a breif second and made weird facial expressions.

" Hey wow keep your eyes on the road," I laughed.

" Wow Marc. Your still a safty freak." 

" Well you know me," I laughed and shrugged my shoulders.  

" Oh what are we going to do with you," she sighed and tried to concentrate on the road.  

" You can turn on the radio or your phone.  See I got that cool cord you have for your car," She said picking up the bright pink cord and shoving it towards me.  

" I'll just turn on the radio, because I know you don't like what is on my phone," I said leaning forward about to press the button.  

" No its ok Marcel.  You do so muchm, plus you coming with me to my dad's house," she said with sympathy.

" Fine, but whenyou start to get bored just tell me and I will turn it off," I explained.  Scarlett did sawy anything.  All she did was nod her head and continue to concentrate on the road.  I scrolled through my songs and finally found the song that was perfect for a perfect road trip.  I played the song You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oats.  I turned it up load and started belting out the lyrics.  I saw Scarlett look at me as if I were mad.  

" Come on don't act like your not weird," I said feeling happy.  

She let out a weird sigh and looked around to see if any cars were near us.  We were driving on what looked like an abandoned road.  The corus was coming up and I really want to see her screem the lyrics.  " You makin my dreams come true, oo, oo!" She yelled.  

I couldn't help laughed she was honestly a really bad singer it hurt.  Once she couldn't understand the rest of the words she started laughing really hard.  

" Shhh Scar your gonna get in an accident," I said trying to calm down.  After about five minutes of laughing and about eight different songs I could tell we were getting close.  The clouds were very gray and I could barrly see the nice bright sun.  She parked the car in an old drive way.  I looked up from my phone and saw a gross small house that needed despret work on.  

" Urg Marcel I dont want to go," Scarlett said as she put her head on my shoulder.  

" I know I don't want you to go in either," I said quietly

" CAn we just stay for ten minutes?" She whined. 

" Ha- I dont know about that, but when ever you feel like leaving I will be right there," I reasured.  

" Thank you Marc," She said and got up.  

" Hey by the way your brothers arn't going to be here right?" I asked.

" Um I don't know I don't talk to them anymore," She said putting her phone and keys into her purse and opening up the door. We walked close to each other, but didn't really talk.  She leaned over and rang the doorbell and a big man wearing a plaid shirt and blue ripped jeans opened the door.  

" Hi dad," Scarlett sighed and we walked into the disgusting house.
