Ryan's P.O.V

It doesn't take long for me to pack my things, just throw some stuff in a bag.

Eh.

I heard we were going to stay there for a week but I don't know. If only Kate would be more specific. She's just really excited. All of us are. Then the most important question comes to mind.

Will the food taste good? What kind of food?

Maybe the same or different. I love food. Like no joke. I pick noodles over my best friends. They always get irritated about it but they laugh it off.

My thoughts go back to the Vermont. I can just imagine snowboarding, it will be amazing. I wonder if Kate and Lucy will go snowboarding with me. Probably not. They will be to busy at the spa and all.

I grab my snowboard and my keys making sure my phone is in my back pocket.

Always gotta have my phone.

"Bye mom! Bye dad!" I call.

"Bye honey! Be safe! Love you!" They call back.

As I'm about to leave my brothers almost wrestle me to the ground.

"Where ya going Ryan?" My 5 year old brother Will jumps on my back making me drop my stuff.

"None of your business."

"Yes it is," my other brother youngest brother Oliver crosses his arms over his chest.

I roll my eyes. "Goodbye."

I get them off of me, grab my stuff quickly and slam the door, barely making it out.

Lucy knows what I'm going through even though she only has one brother. Kate only has two older brothers who are out of college, lucky.

I put all my stuff in the car and drive toward Kate's house. I take out my phone and text her.

Me: hey I'm out front.

Kate: k be right out.

I wait for 5 minutes before I see them come out.

"What took you so long?" I ask as they sit down in the car.

"We weren't even that long!" Kate defends.

I roll my eyes. "Sure."

"Don't you roll your eyes at me!" Kate says wiggling her finger at me.

"I can roll my eyes at whoever I wanna roll my eyes at."

"Oh no-"

"You guys!" Lucy almost shouts. "Let's just listen to some music."

"Yeah, let's do that," Kate says reaching to turn on the radio and flipping through the radio.

I slap her hand away.

"Hey!" She glares.

"I drive so that means I control the radio. Plus this is my car," I glare back.

"That's stupid," Kate snorts.

"Oh so what if I started touching your radio."

"Your gross."

"You ways think dirty."

"Like you don't!"

"Not like you!" I say.

She laughs. "Oh really?"

"Yeah really. You-"

"You guys!" Lucy shouts smashing her hands on the seats. "We're supposed to have a nice time!"

"Yeah Ryan," Kate crosses her arms over her chest.

"Me! What about- you know what. I'm gonna be mature. Your right Lucy."

"Thank you," Lucy sighs.

"I'm gonna be mature," Kate mocks me.

I roll my eyes and turn off the radio and put in our playlist that I made for long car rides to go somewhere.

'Ride with me' comes on and Kate relaxes. It is her favorite song after all. She starts singing first then we all join in.
