“Where’s Kevin?” I asked Tim the moment he arrived at my doorstep the next afternoon.

“Basketball tournament,” Tim replied. “Where’s Chris?”

“One of his idiot friends got a new video game—something to do with playing the electric guitar while killing aliens,” I said. “He said he’d rather be with them than spend a day with me.”

Tim leaned in closer to me. “It’s just you and me this afternoon? How does Eric feel about that?”

“I keep telling you, I’m not dating Eric. We’re just friends—who made out a couple of times.”

“Thanks for the unnecessary information,” Tim said.

“Hey, you’re the one who asked,” I said.

As I picked up the car keys, I felt an indescribable thrill. It had taken hours of pleading to get my parents to let me drive by myself this afternoon, but all the groveling was worth it. The weight of the keys in my hand was like holding the Holy Grail—only better. The Holy Grail only healed all wounds. A set of car keys meant instantaneous freedom, which was way more important.

“I hope you’re not planning on driving as slow as you did in driver’s ed,” Tim said. “The first movie is going to start soon and I don’t want to miss any of it.”

“The first movie?” I asked, grabbing my purse. “As in, there’s more than one?”

“Yeah, there’s ten of them.”

“What?” I asked, whirling around so fast my purse went flying into the air like a launched missile, smacking Tim in the head.

“Ow!” Tim rubbed the spot where it hit. “I told you this was a festival. It’s four hours.”

Four hours of the Stooges? That was enough to make me want to poke my own eyes out.
