Chapter 8

Kennedy

Friday’s classes seemed to never end. I couldn’t wait to get in Jimmy’s car, and disappear for the weekend. I hadn’t seen Beckham since our kiss at the club, but still knowing I could bump into him at any minute, was nerve wracking. I didn’t want to have to think about where I was walking and at what time. I wanted to be free to move about without panic that I’d bump into him.

The professor wrapped up his lecture, and I had my notebook closed and in my hand before his last sentence was even out.

“Have a good weekend, folks,” he said, and I took off for the door.

I headed straight to my dorm to grab my bag and then meet Jimmy in the parking lot. In twenty minutes, I’d be on my way to paradise. As I walked, I checked the weather on my phone. Severe thunderstorms were going to be coming through the area late in the evening, but would break way to sunshine midday Saturday. Fine by me. We didn’t have any plans for tonight other than eating ice cream and binge watching 90’s movies.

I made it to my dorm in eight minutes. I think it was a new record for me. I swung the door open, grabbed my bag, and raced down to the parking lot. Jimmy had asked Erica if she wanted to come, but there was some poetry reading at the coffeehouse tonight she didn’t want to miss.

Jimmy leaned against his Prius, and I skipped toward him. “Time to get this party started,” I called out.

He reached into the car, and cranked up the radio. He grabbed my hand, and spun me around. My bag slid off my shoulder, and I let it fall to the ground as I continued twirling. A few people walked by, and looked at us like we lost our freaking minds, but for the first time in a few days, I felt like I finally found it.

“Did you pee?” he asked as I came to a stop.

I lifted my eyebrow. “Yes, Dad.”

“I’m just saying, once we start going, I’m not stopping.”

“You said it’s only two hours. I think I can handle it.”

“Just checking,” he sing-songed before tossing my bag into the backseat, and then jumping in the driver side. I stuck my tongue out at him, and then went to my side of the car.

“So, what’s the town like?”

“What town? We’re seriously going to be in the middle of nowhere. There’s the lake and a few neighbors. Other than that, the closest store is thirty minutes away.”

“Sounds like the start of a low budget horror movie.”

“They haven’t found any bodies in the lake for at least a few years now,” he said, and I swiveled in my seat, eyes wide with fear.

“Bodies?”

“Poor Sally Peterson. Such a sweet girl. May she rest in peace.” He made the sign of the cross, and I was seriously ready to jump out the car. I didn’t care that we were going sixty-five on the highway.
