Day Two, 11:37 a.m.

I’m probably going to get into a fight with Lloyd when we get to Middleton. That bitch has had it coming for a long time, and I couldn’t be blamed for fucking him up. He never took the relationship I had with Courtney seriously. Even when we were together all the time, he’d still make little digs. Case in point: One night, when Lloyd, Court, me, B. J., Jocelyn, and a few other people were hanging out, Courtney decided she wanted to order food. And Lloyd was all, “Oh, Courtney, you always have to order food while we’re watching baseball.” Which may have been true. But it was the way he said it that pissed me off. It was like he was talking about food, but he basically was saying, “Jordan, I know Courtney better than you, and I could fuck her if I wanted to.”

Anyway, we’re in the car on our way to see my brother, Adam, and Lloyd at Middleton, and Courtney’s acting like it’s the night before Christmas. She’s practically taking her clothes off already. I’m not stupid. I know some of it is an act, something she’s probably doing to piss me off, but still. They hooked up. There has to be something there, or else she’s one hell of an actress.

So far, she’s asked me how her hair looks about five million times. She’s wearing a black flippy skirt and a black tank top. Her hair is in pigtails, which you think would be kind of silly, but on her looks really cute. I’ve hardly ever seen Courtney dressed like this. She usually isn’t so, uh…revealing.

“Does my hair look okay?” she asks again, flipping down the visor and checking herself out in the mirror.

“Yes,” I say through gritted teeth. “Your hair looks fine.”

“Sorry if I’m being annoying,” she says, pulling a lip gloss out of her bag and lining her lips. “I’m just nervous.”

“Understandable,” I say, watching her out of the corner of my eye. She has the best mouth. I stare straight ahead again, keeping my eyes on the road.

“I’m starving,” she announces. “Are we going to stop for breakfast or something?”

“Do you think that’s smart, with your stomach and everything?” The last thing I need is Courtney throwing up all over my car again. Not that I really cared yesterday. I actually liked taking care of her. But things are different now. Yesterday she was cute and vulnerable. She wrapped her legs around me in bed, and pulled me close to her during the night. Now she’s dressed like a tramp and thinking about having sex with Lloyd. So forgive me if I’m not rushing to hold her hair back. Let Lloyd do that shit if she’s so into him.

“I’m hungry.” She shrugs and pulls out the CD in the player and tosses it into the backseat. She pushes the button for the satellite radio and turns it to the country station.

“Feel free,” I say, rolling my eyes. My phone starts vibrating in my pocket, and I do my best to ignore it.
