The Road Trip

AC/DC Music and The Gossip Girl Caitlyn

Sydney’s POV

I turned the key in the ignition of the RV, and started to drive, In the background I could here Adein already playing his guitar, and Claire singing along to some rock song none of us had heard before.

“What the hell are you guys singing?” I shouted back to them.

“AC/DC, Back in Black.” Adein answered calmly.

“Ummm, which is?” I asked.

“Oh my God Syd! You don’t know who AC/DC is? Wow I didn’t think that was possible, they’re like one of the greatest rock band of all time!” Claire yelled at me like I was some idiot who shouldn’t be talking to her.

“Well it is possible Claire! I don’t know who the heck they are either.” Emma said.

“Yeah, me neither,” Caleb chimed in.

I laughed as almost everyone else in the RV claimed that no they hadn’t heard of this band. Claire ran back to her bunk and started searching through her bag.

“You have to have heard them, I mean like you may not know who they are, but trust me you have, they're classic,” Adein said. 

Just then Claire came running back with her iPod in her hand and an AUX chord in the other. She ran up to the stereo and plugged her iPod in and started blasting our ears out with AC/DC music. I thought I had definitely not heard of them until a song I recognized came blasting through the speakers.

“I’m on the highway to hell,

the highway to hell,

my friends are guna be there too,”

“Oh, I know this song!” I said.

“Oh Yeah” Caleb added.

I drove on and listened to Claire screeching out the lyrics trying to sound like the lead singer of AC/DC, even though her voice was beautiful when she sung normally.

Claire’s POV

When the final AC/DC song had played, I got up and took my iPod out of the stereo.

“Thank God!” Veronica said from behind her bunk’s curtain, “Now I can finally read this book,”

“Oh, come on V,” Caitlyn yelled back to Veronica, “Why don’t you try living your life instead of reading about someone else’s,” 

“Shut-up and let me read!” Veronica replied.

“Fine, but when this road-trip ends and all you remember is how heroic that guy you’ve been crushing on from your book is, you know the one that reminds you of Jasper, I won’t be the one telling you what happened,” Caitlyn replied with a grin on her face, knowing she just let a bomb drop on V’s perfect little world. Veronica came running from her bunk and tackled Caitlyn to the floor.

“I told you not to tell him!” she screeched

“And you thought the gossip girl would keep your secret?” Sydney called back from the driver’s seat.

“And technically I didn’t tell him,” Caitlyn said calmly, “Jasper is in the bathroom,”

“Yeah, but everyone else heard and Will is practically Jasper’s brother,”

“Who’s practically my brother?” Jasper asked who had just come out of the bathroom.

“Apparently me,” Will answered looking up from his laptop, but only for a second.

“And why were we discussing this?” Jasper asked with a confused look on his face.

“Oh nothing it’s just that V here, she…” Caitlyn was interrupted before she could finish by Veronica’s hand, which was now covering her mouth.

“Oh come on V, now I know your keeping something from me, just tell me,” Jasper said.

“Well you may know I’m hiding something, but there’s no way I’m telling, plus Will here will probably just tell you anyway,” V said before storming off to her bunk.

“Are you Will?” Jasper asked.

“I’m not getting involved,” Will replied before going back to his laptop.
