chapter 1

I couldn't deal with the people talking any longer. I got up and went into the kitchen.

" No, no." my mom said. She pointed into the living room. " You need to go in there. And help whoever." Mom was having a group meeting for her work. And she was treating me like a servant. It annoyed me...

" Then why aren't you in there, Mom?" I whispered back

" Jenifer... Please don't start. I'm not in the mood." Mom frowned.

" Mom, I have a massive headache! Don't make me go back in there!" I begged while I totally lied about the headache. "please, Mom."

Mom sighed and shook her head. " Fine, just go upstairs and finish your homework."

" Thank you!" I got an ibuprofen and some water and went upstairs into my room. I was NOT going to do my homework, and she knew it. I reached above my shelf and grabbed my cell phone. I had 2 hide it from my mother, because, she didn't know that I had it. I kept a lot of things from her. Like how, that 1 time I snuck out to go meet my friend. And how another time i didn't really go to my dads house, but i went to a party... I remembered how I got caught the time I went to a party... I suddenly laughed.

I needed to party. And I knew just who to text.

An hour later, it was 11:00 and mom was asleep, and I was sneaking out to go to a party. A party with lots of beer, friends, and food. I had already straightened my hair, and put my clothes on, and I even put on powder (not usual). I was going to meet my boyfriend and him and I would go to the party together. But, I got a text from him all of the sudden. I read:

hey, babe. i no how we sed we were gunna meet on y highway, but there's a change of plans. meet me on ketterman. trust me. ok? ok. luv u. c ya l8ter.

I sighed and wrote back.

ok. ill c ya n a wile. but, hey. i trust u. heart bye, babe.

I walked out of the house and down the road. I was sort of nervous. I really didn't want to get caught, but that wasn't it. There was a feeling in the pit of my stomach saying that I should not be doing this. But, I'm already going, and I'm not going to step out of it now.

And I took my first step out on the road.
