"Ridin' on down this ol' highway.
Listen to what this Joe has seen.
His story how he went astray, when he-
Met the Devil on mile fifteen,"

Marty was voted "Most likely to become a pop-star" in his high school yearbook, but has yet to become anything even close. Eight years later, he's still living with his mother without any work experience or post-secondary education. Most of his time is now spent fighting with showerheads and eating home-made chocolate chip cookies. So when an opportunity arrives for Marty to seek his fame and fortune in the hills of California, he immediately rises to the challenge.

The only roadblock: Marty doesn't have his drivers' license. In an act of desperation, he convinces his best friend Bill to drive him halfway across the United States of America, not realizing how much of an adventure they're about to have. Along their journey, Bill and Marty encounter three peculiar hitchhikers, each with their own special forms of wisdom...

"In retrospect, I could've gotten away with this even if my parents weren't attending Mr. Frank's Kitchen Convention this spring break." Joey's not the kind of boy who wastes the week he has off from school. Staying local while his parents are away isn't even a possibility for him, so why not spend time on a cross-country road-trip that could possibly jeopardize his friendships, his sweet van, and his life? Yet, Joey isn't going to be driving solitary, listening to blues and moping on his road-trip of a lifetime. He's persuaded a few close friends to accompany him on his trip; Levi, a smart aleck with a heart; Lucy, a childhood friend with an alter ego; Emmett, a twelve year old boy with a knack for sarcasm; and Antione, an unexpected friend whose first experience of the U.S. is a law-breaking, parent-deceiving road-trip. For only a mere day, a few in the know of Joey's journey soon grows into a few dozen, and soon a few thousand all thanks to a social-media account titled, "Joey and the Road-Trippers." After that, their adventure is exposed for all the world to see. As Joey and his trek explode, things started coming up roses. Yet, this is a teenage-driven road-trip, so it's in the cards that something is bound to go awry. From a circle of identical brothers to encounters with less-than--delighted relatives, no road-trip can be left without flaws. As the strings of lights shines down upon this cautionary, traditional American road-trip with its panic, pleasure, and pain, the group makes a pact- to never let their parents find out. (This was my final project in a Creative Writing class last year, and due to quarantine, I decided to opt for an easier, more fun piece to write. It's kind of like if "Vacation," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and "That 70s Show" had a baby, I guess)

Meet Jimmy. He's the guy with all the problems, the screw up who always acts like a complete and total jerk. The one guy that's forever in trouble. Well, what happens when his habits get him into situations a little more serious than your usual high school jerk's problems? Jimmy's in a hole too deep to climb out of...and he's only digging deeper... (sorry, I suck at summaries...please give it a go...)
