I Run to the front door after hearing multiple impatient knocks. Swinging the door open I interrupt the knocking to find Carmen.
"Hey, Bitch?" She sings out in a chirpy tone. I chuckle in shock at my adorable new pet name. Letting herself in she walks towards the stairs.
"Hey... what are you doing here?" I question her while shutting the front door.
Shrugging she turns to face me, "I'm picking you up for school." I nod not questioning it further.
Carmen follows me to my room but is stopped by a shirtless Finn. He quickly attempts to hide once he sees her.
"Aghhh! What the fuck! Carmen?" He yells. Carmen only chuckles.
Before she got any ideas I pull her into my room and slam the door. She scans my room and throws herself onto my bed.
I grab a pair of blue jeans and a rainbow cami that was laying on my dresser. Checking if Carmen could see me I notice that she was intently going through the book that was on my nightstand. I change into my clothes quickly while she was busy.
"Hey, Lana?" Carmen looks over at me with a smirk. I hum in response while I brush my hair looking at her through my mirror.
"You wanna do something crazy?" I turn to look at her in confusion.
"Like what?"
"You'll see. We just need a ride to school first." As much as I wanted to refuse I agreed.
We walk into the kitchen where Finn was sitting on the table eating cereal. Carmen takes a seat next to him. He shifts nervously turning to look at her. Her only goal was to make him uncomfortable.
I roll my eyes and take the waffles out of the freezer.
"Umm, am I driving you guys?" Finn stands up putting his bowl in the sink. He avoids making eye contact with Carmen as she stands again and hops onto the counter.
"Yup." Carmen pops her p.
After heating my waffles I hand one to Carmen and pull her away from Finn.
"Don't even think about it," I warn her in a semi-serious tone. She laughed and smacked my shoulder.
"I just like the way he squirms." She rolled her eyes picking up the backpack she had left next to mime by the front door.
I sit in the front seat while Carmen sat in the back. We waited for Finn to finally come out of the house. I huff in annoyance once he steps out of the house with untied shoes and messy hair.
"What the fuck were you doing for so long?" I question him once he gets on but he only throws his backpack onto my lap and turns on the car.
We drive down to school while music blasts through the car's speakers. I look through the rearview mirror to see Carmen dancing. I admired that she was so carefree and really knew how to enjoy life. We were really different in that way.
Once we pull up to the school's parking lot I see Red standing outside waiting by the bike racks. She awkwardly stands there looking around for someone.
"Finnie?" Carmen leans forward and appears in between the two of us in the front seats.
What was she planning?
"Lana and I are going to ditch... and we kinda need a ride. Meaning that I'd like to invite you." I look at her in shock. We are going to what?
Finn looks over at me with a smug look.
"Ok? So then what are we doing here?" He taps the steering wheel.
"I need to get something from my locker." Carmen shrugs. She gets out of the car and waves us over. We get out of the car and follow close behind her.
Red sees us approaching the door and turns away quickly. Once I have passed her she grabs Finn's arm. Looking behind me I see her pull him to the side. He looks up at me and nods his head. I continue walking alongside Carmen.
We reach her locker and she discreetly lifts her backpack and shoves something in there quickly.
Before I can question her about it a boy approaches us leaning against the locker beside me. Both Carmen and I look at him in confusion.
"So..." he pauses giving me a smirk. "Is it true you like making out with your brother?" He asks me with a cocky smirk. I feel my heart sink at the question. This was evident because Carmen steps in front of me.
"Is it true you have a small dick?" The boy's smile falls as his friends who were standing behind us start to howl and laugh.
Carmen grabs my hand and pulls me away. Before we are out of sight she turns around flipping him off.
"Don't worry about them, babe. They're pigs." She gives me a reassuring smile. I nod and continue to walk with her out of the school's doors.
Finn and Red turn to look at us as we walk down the stone steps. Red looks me up and down and looks at Carmen with annoyance.
"Uh oh. She looks mad." Carmen whispers in my ear chuckling. I stifle a laugh. Looking down I see that our hands were still interlaced.
"Hey umm, Sadie's coming with us." I nod my head in agreement looking straight at her.
We walk back to Finn's car. Sadie sits upfront with Finn while Carmen and I sit in the back. Finn quickly drives off of school property and adjusts his rearview mirror to get a better view of Carmen.
"Where to?" He looks at the carefree girl.
"The lake." She answers mindlessly. I look over at her sticking her head out of the car window letting the wind course through her brown, wavy hair, in admiration. She was everything I wished I could be.
