"I really appreciate this, Ken."

Kenyon chuckled. "Stop apologizing, you're my brother." We were driving to school in the Mustang while he drove me to school. I would have been lying if I said that it didn't emasculate me, since I was used to driving Kenyon to school, but I wasn't sure if Satordi and Ro had gotten it out of the impound lot.

'So, what happened with you and Alana last night?"

I grimaced. "I don't want to talk about it."

He let out a chuckle. "You just won't give up."

I huffed.

"I got some good news." Kenyon beamed.

"I could use some good news." I mumbled.

"I overheard Aunt Talya on the phone this morning, and Grandma's in town. "

I looked over at him. "But your birthday isn't for another week, and graduation isn't for another two."

"So what do you think it is?" asked Kenyon.

I shrugged. "Could be anything?"

"You think it's Dad?" Kenyon lowered his eyes.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "Ken, it could be anything." I assured.

Kenyon sighed and then brushed his hand over his face fixing his posture.

"So you and Sorrell doing better." The expression on Kenyon's face lightened. I was happy that it took only one name to change his entire demeanor. These days it was taking more and more to make me feel better. I was trying to enjoy my last month of freedom, but now all of my friends were talking about their bright futures and I realized that I didn't have the same excitement. I lied to everyone to keep my secret they were sure I was going to so prestigious university to play football. They didn't have the slightest idea that I would be stuck in Louisiana, married and bred like a horse.

Even Kenyon, was talking about his and Sorrell's future and I began to zone out.

"So Casanova, who are the lucky ladies you are taking to prom?"

"I don't think I'll go to prom."

His eyes widened. "It's one of the biggest milestones of senior year. This whole human teenager experience was your idea."

"I didn't realize that it would be so repetitive." I sighed and then shook it off. "Nevermind." I said as Kenyon pulled into the student parking lot.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

"Go to class Kenyon." I laughed.

The school day flew by like a blur with the same people the same, some pointless conversation. I was actually happy when the school day was over.

Directly after school I went to go see Ro. He was where he always was. He was in the shop working, on the most gorgeous electric blue Monte Carlo I had ever seen.

"That's cold Ro. Is it new?"

"Aye Randy!" I was shocked that he seemed ginunely happy to see me. I was expecting him to be upset about the Yukon. "This is my new baby! I got her this morning."

"Ro I just came to apologize about the Yukon."

He laughed. "Do you think I'm worried about that Yukon? Satordi got it out it's back in the garage no harm to foul."

I chuckled. "Are you sure? You are obsessed with your cars."

"Well, the garage is full and I'm trying to clear out some space anyway."
