VOICES FILLED HER her ears and she furrowed her eyebrows before opening her eyes. Andrea looked around and blinked rapidly before her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She felt a hand touch her face and she jumped, looking upward to meet Dustin's eyes. "What is happening?" She groaned and rubbed her eyes.

          "We're on the way to the tunnels," Dustin replied, causing Andrea to sit up quickly. Her butt was planted on the seat between Steve's legs and her head had been resting on Dustin's lap.

          "Stop the car!" Andrea yelled up to the front seat, her eyes widening when she saw Max driving. "Why are you driving?" She questioned, panic filling her voice.

          "Shut up! I'm trying to focus!" Max yelled and rolled her eyes, shaking her head at the girl in the backseat. "I can't focus if you're all yelling and being babies."

          Andrea turned her head back toward Steve who had rainbow bandaids plastered all over his face. "Did you agree to this?" She asked.

          Steve shook his head and pointed toward Valorie who was sitting closest to the door next to Mike. "I think she had something to do with it too," he whispered and met Andrea's eyes.

          The car suddenly jolted to the left and Andrea shifted across the seat, causing Steve to wrap one arm around her and prop the other hand up on the seat to keep them both from sliding around. "Can you just stop the damn car?" Andrea yelled up to Max.

          "Shut up!" Valorie yelled and glared at her sister, furrowing her eyebrows. "Just shut up!"

          Max shoved on the gas which prompted the car to shoot out onto a field. As she pushed on the brakes, she twisted the wheel to the left and the car turned. Max pushed the brakes even further toward the floor and the car skidded to a stop.

          "Oh, hello!" Steve yelled as his body shot forward as the sudden stop. He held Andrea tightly against him so she didn't slide off the seat. "You okay?" He asked and met Andrea's eyes as she slowly nodded. Steve blinked rapidly and glanced down at Andrea's lips as he began leaning forward.

          Valorie reached across Mike and smacked the back of Steve's head, furrowing her eyebrows. "Don't kiss my sister, dickhead," she snapped and pressed her lips together as she glared at both Andrea and Steve, scoffing as their cheeks flushed bright red as the stared at the young girl. "Get me outta this car before I kill Steve Harrington for trying to kiss my sister in front of me."

          Lucas and Max were the first ones out of the car, pulling up the front seats to allow everyone else to climb out. All of the kids poured out of the car and rounded the back toward the trunk, leaving the teenagers blushing in each other's arms in the backseat.

          "We should probably... you know..." Andrea said and cleared her throat, the heat in her cheeks intensifying the longer she stared at Steve. "Yeah," she added and quickly nodded before climbing out of the car and dusting off her pants. Andrea wasn't sure how she felt about Steve almost kissing her but it didn't upset her. She hadn't actually thought about kissing Steve, but now that she knew the option was available she wanted to act on it.

          Steve climbed out of the car and fell to the ground at Andrea's feet, letting out a loud groan when his hands and knees slammed against the dirt. "Guys," he mumbled and looked up at all the kids, watching them as they put bandanas around their necks and goggles over their eyes. Steve reached his hand up to Andrea and let out a grunt as she pulled him up to his feet and patted his shoulder before yanking her hands away and clearing her throat. "Oh, no. Guys," he said, this time a little louder. He watched as Mike walked by him, ignoring him completely. "Hey, where do you think you're going?" He asked and looked over his shoulder at Mike. "What are you, deaf? Hello?" He called out.
