Chapter 10: Road Trip

~Zane's POV~

"You're joking Lloyd." 

Lloyd looks at me with a sad smile and shrugs his shoulders. "You told me not to worry about it, Lloyd."

"Yeaaaaahh, about that. I forgot." Lloyd says to me looking away from my eyes.
It's 7:20 AM, we're gathering our stuff together while waiting for the ride for our trip. The day before yesterday we watched a movie and Lloyd told me the next day he'll take care of the plan, but here we are the day we leave for our trip and he doesn't have one. "How are you supposed to be a leader when you can't even write out a plan by yourself?" I ask him while bending down and picking up an empty suitcase, then walking towards the hallway and I sense Lloyd follows me.
"I know, I know, it's my fault but the thing issssssss I can just do it on the way there. I mean don't I technically have three days?" I sigh and shake my head at Lloyd's poor attempt at redeeming himself as I open Cole's room door. "Seriously Cole?" I say putting down the suit case and walk over to Cole asleep in his bed even though I woke up him ten minutes ago. "Zane, don't ignore me." Lloyd suddenly says and I turn to look at him.

"Fine, do it on the way there. I mean it Lloyd." Lloyd nods and heads his way out of Cole's room and I turn around to face Cole. "Didn't I say get up?" I ask while shaking Cole. I hear Cole groan and I stopped for a second, but he doesn't move. "Cole, I'm serious pack your stuff." Cole groans loudly but he gets up and rubs his eyes, "Why do we have to get up this early?" Cole asks me while stretching and yawning. I shrugged my shoulders and pointed towards the suitcase on the ground, "Your suitcase is there, pack your personal items such as clothes as an example in there and put it near the garage door." I say sternly making sure Cole was paying attention.

He nodded his head and slowly but surely got up and grabbed the suitcase and threw it on his bed and he opened his closet to look for an assortment of clothing. Now that Cole is somewhat situated time for Kai, he can be a bit grumpy when waken up early so I decided to give him a bit more time. I nod at Cole as I walked out of his room and over to Kai's and opened his room door. It was pitch black, I turned on the light and see a lump under the red sheets of Kai's bed and I walk over to it. "Kai, wake up. You need to get ready for the trip." I say and I shake him a little more intense then what I did with Cole. All of a sudden Kai removed his blanket from over his head and sprung up which nearly scared me to another realm. "GOOOOOD MORNING ZANE."

"Kai what the-"

"Well WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR BUDDY WE GOT A TRIP TO PACK FOR!" Kai exclaims nearly jumping out of his bed and skipping out of his room down the hall. Even though we really haven't known each other for that long due to me being the last recruit, it still surprises me when one acts completely different from how they normally act.

I shrugged my shoulders and hope that Kai isn't on LSD or something. I walk out Kai's room down the hallway and into the kitchen to see Jay and Nya eating some cereal at the table. "I'm glad you two aren't particularly difficult when it comes to early tasks." I say waving as I walk in fully. Jay turns around to look at me after swallowing a spoonful of his cereal, "Yeah, it's kinda hard not to wake up early while being excited for this trip." he says to me with a small chuckle.

I smile and nod at Jay and then look at Nya, "Did you guys pack your stuff?" I ask and Nya nods, "We packed last night and put our stuff in the garage before we came in here. We aren't Lloyd, Cole, or Kai." she laughs. "I mean." I hear Jay start and Nya and I look towards him, "I love Lloyd and all but it's kinda embarrassing to say to other gangs that I take orders by someone who's younger than me." Jay says now playing with his cereal by swirling the spoon around in the bowl.

"Lloyd is sixteen and you're seventeen, not that much younger." I say and Jay quickly shakes his head, "I'm still older than him even if it's a year, but I can't be mad. Without him I'll probably wouldn't even be here. I'm pretty sure anymore kids beating on me when I was younger I would've killed myself."
