Two Knights in Shining Armor

Chapter 1-A Very VERY Very long road trip

(Jess POV)

"Mom! I'm home! Where are yo-ah" I cried, walking through the side door, slamming it behind me. I stopped, eyes widening at the sight.

There were bags scattered over the floor, and heaps of clothes everywhere. I saw sleeping bags, and a tent we haven't used since before I was born, when my parents went camping.

My dad was in the kitchen, piling food into a cooler. That was unusual, as he is a police officer and works late.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, though I think I knew the answer.

"Oh, we're going camping, dear." my mother said, poking her head in the doorway.

"What! You guys are completely terrible at camping! Didn't you get arrested from camping?" I screamed incredulously.

"Oh, we're going to Canada; we were barred from camping in the United States." my mother cried, as if that were obvious. " We're also going with Casey and his family!" she continued brightly, lugging a 36 pack of water bottles towards the door.

Casey is my neighbor and my best friend. He is 15, like me, and he goes to the same school, too. Our parents are good friends, and we do many 'cool' things like white water rafting. (That was so not cool; it was a disaster!)

Let me tell you from the beginning, we are NOT in love with each other. We're simply just best friends who spend everyday together. That's all.

(Casey POV)

My mother just told me we're going camping. In Canada. With Jess and her family.

I had tried to walk into my room, but was stopped by a teetering pile of heavy jackets, sweaters, and pants.

I had casually asked my mother "Why are all our winter clothes piled outside my room? What are next, the Christmas ornaments? It's summer!"

(I kinda lost my cool towards the end)

She had cheerfully replied "We're going camping in Canada!"

Now, I was knocking on Jess's door, my brown lab named Bailey prancing next to me. She was obviously excited to see Jess, and she wasn't the only one.

Jessica is my neighbor and best friend, but lately, I've been happier when I was around her. I think I might might might like her. But she is definitely NOT in love with me.

She loves Connect 3 ( A/N the Jonas Brothers) and is in love with Nate, who's a year older than us. You know, the one with curly hair and plays guitar, piano, and drums. God, I really have to find some guy friends to hang out with.

(Jess POV)

We have been stuck in a car for 6 hours straight, with over excited parents, a snoring dog, and Casey, who is squished up against me. (Our families tend to over pack)

"Mo-oom!" I wailed. "Are we there yet?"

"No, honey" she said, then turned up some song by the Beatles on the radio.

Casey and I both groaned. The adults had been listening to this radio station that played nothing BUT the Beatles.

I turned on my Ipod and put on "Play my Music" by Connect 3. I started to sing along until someone paused my Ipod.

"What did you do that for?" I cried angrily.

Casey replied "Well I can hear it too! And I don't want to listen to Connect 3! I already, unwillingly, I might add, but I know all the lyrics, and Nate's favorite color, and Shane's……."

"Well that's a good thing!" I said sweetly. "Please????" I continued, making my puppy dog face.

"Ah, no! Don't do that! You know I'll say yes." Casey grumbled, turning.

"That's the point." I said, resuming play.

And we continued on our journey…. to the center of the earth! Just kidding.

A/N- I hope you liked it. Please review…. give my ideas and tips!

there's gonna be Connect 3 in the next chapter!

Its 7:46 Am right now, so I'll put up the next chapter when I get home from school
