The Roadtrip
June 21, 2003
I am no longer a little child. I am a sixteen-year-old Aries that will go anywhere to see something interesting happen no matter how dangerous it is. A five foot five inch, orange eyed, pale skinned, brown haired ball of total chaotic energy. Climbing trees is for kiddies, I climb mountains. Discipline is for losers. Yeah, people say I'm arrogant and I totally agree with them. They just have to deal with it. It's just a part of life.
It is summer, and even though it's western Washington it's very hot. I look outside and I see a canopy of trees. The leaves are all a beautiful shade of green and as they reach out to the life-giving rays of the sun, they seem to wave at me. I decide that it's the perfect day for a little drive. Even though my "little drives" usually last for hours or days. So I called up my friends. Roz was busy so she couldn't go on my roadtrip. Evonne agreed to go, but we had to bring a lot of food and she wanted to use my stereo. Trillian's mom needed her and Mariel definitely couldn't go. I still needed another friend to come on my road trip so I called Jessica and told her to bring one thing.
"Can I bring Jeremy?" She asked.
"No." I replied.
"Why not?"
"I'm not letting him near my car."
"The trip will be boring without him."
"No it won't."
"Yes, it will. You're so boring."
"What!? I'm not boring!"
"Yes, you are."
"Bitch."
"Yup."
"Fine! He can come along! But he has to use his own car."
"Agreed!"
We both hung up and I realized that she probably had that planned all along. I decided that this was going to be a long trip so I should start packing today. I packed only the bare necessities, saying them out loud as I packed them.
"CD player, CDs, Game Boy, Tetris, mallet, blankets, pillows, hair brush, hair tie, etc. etc." I mumbled.
After I packed "the bare necessities" into my little black backpack, I gracefully threw it in the back of my truck. I hopped into my shiny red Toyota and started up its engine. It sounded like a lion whenever I started it. The first time I had started it up was during the free test run. I nearly peed my pants and I still take delight whenever I'm in a parking lot and I start it up. Oh, the looks I get from people who think that I'm sitting on a truck that's about to explode. As I backed out of the cramped parking area of the cul-de-sac made a mental note that I needed to clean the inside. Cans of soda littered the floor of my car and papers from school that had just ended. I put my car into gear and I headed for the nearest gas station.
I barely made it due to the fact that miscalculated the amount of gas needed to get to the gas station. I filled up the tank, cleaned out my car and while I was up bought some snacks and a few liters of soda. After I paid for all this I noticed a tabloid saying nonsense about a disease that turned people into zombies, and that Umbrella made the disease and how the government had to destroy a city to keep the disease from spreading.
"What kind of shit is this?" I asked the person working there.
"Oh, I dunno. But it's kinda funny to read." The exhausted looking worker said.
I bought the tabloid just for the heck of it and decided that I would read it later. In the meantime though, it made a real good bug swatter whenever some kind of insect would come near me. I drove to Evonne's house and as I pulled into her driveway I noticed that she was waiting for me.
"Hey Evonne. Hop in." I said optimistically.
"Okay." She responded simply.
She was wearing a flower dress with a thin coat over it that had patches from some other article of clothing that formed pockets. It also had a few safety pins on it to hold parts of it together. She was also wearing her weird shoes that made her taller. All in all her outfit made her look like a scary doll. Especially with her long brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was also pale, being a Washingtonian like me.
"Didn't you pack anything?" I asked.
"Yes." She said as she held up a small purse.
I stared blankly at her as she laughed. She pulled out a small, plastic, pink rabbit.
"You…brought…"
"Filler bunny!"
"Oi…"
I knew then that this trip was going to be interesting.
"So…you didn't bring anything else?"
"I was just messing with your mind a bit, my backpack is in the back."
"Okay."
So Evonne, Filler Bunny and I started driving to Bremerton. It was hard finding Jessica's house but we recognized the…landmarks and pulled into the short driveway. We could see Jeremy's car parked there already and Jessica wasn't outside so we would have to knock on the door. I hated Jessica's house. It was a small, box shaped house, and it was ugly. I knocked in the wooden door that had its paint peeling and Jessica answered.
"Well it took you long enough!" she said jokingly.
"Its nice to see you too Jessica!" I replied sarcastically.
"I'm riding with Jeremy, okay Martine?" she said drawing out my name.
"Fine with me. Now I don't need to put up with your insults!"
We both laughed at this until Jeremy came out.
"Marti! I haven't seen you since we all went to the mall at Christmas!" Jeremy said loudly.
"What? Do you mean the time when we all nearly got kicked out?" I replied while stifling a laugh.
"Yeah! You look the same ya know!"
"Yeah, I know."
I attempted to walk away to my car but bumped into Evonne who was standing behind me. This started a totally different conversation. An hour later we were all getting bored of talking. We all wanted to go out and party, so I suggested the mountains.
"Why would we want to go to the mountains?" Jeremy said.
"Because Seattle is crowded and it's too hot to go into eastern Washington." Jessica quickly replied.
"Ooh, maybe we'll see Bigfoot!" Evonne said sounding distant.
"What you mean like Jeremy? Ouch!" I said, then immediately being hit by Jessica.
Jeremy actually laughed and started making "Bigfoot noises" that sounded like a cross between a gorilla and a pig. He then chased Jessica who ran up to his car and got inside. Jeremy then went inside of the driver's side door. While I had been watching this Evonne had reappeared back inside my truck even though I didn't hear the door slam. I quickly walked up to my truck and got in seeing as how much Jeremy's car engine was revving. I was obviously in the way. As I put my car into reverse and backed out of the driveway as fast as I could Jeremy's car pulled up alongside mine. Jessica then stuck her head out of the window and shouted…
"Betcha we make it to Snoqualmie pass before you guys!
Then she and Jeremy sped off. This was going to be one hell of a road trip.
