" Well that's the last of it" Eddie said between gasping breaths. She was considered the most athletic of the family, besides Coach Malloy himself who was waiting for them in Buckman, and loading the U-Haul even wore her out. Caroline, who was always looking for a chance to act out a dramatic scene, pretended to faint on the sidewalk.
" Oh, get up Caroline! No one is in the mood for your crap today" Beth grumbled. It was extremely hot for September and heat always made her a grouch. She had quit helping about 10 minutes ago;Now she was curled up on the seat reading Bad Girls Don't Die. The youngest Malloy girl decided she better not press anyone's buttons today and hopped up beside Beth. The girls' mom got in on the driver's side and Eddie climbed up by Caroline, nearly squeezing her and Beth to death; It was going to be a gruesome day-long drive.
" Caroline"
" … Wally?" Suddenly wally was right in front of her face, so close she could smell his orange bubble gum.
" Kiss me Caroline"
" Uhhh... What?"
" Kiss me" Wally repeated, leaning in further. Some instinct told her to close her eyes but they only got wider. He was really going to kiss her! In five, four, three, two...
" Caroline wake up!" Eddie was violently shaking her " We're here. Get out of the truck" Caroline jolted awake knowing she was having a really weird dream but forgetting it really quick. For some reason she really wanted orange flavor gum which she normally hated. Weird. She couldn't think about it anymore though because her dad was yelling at her from across the lawn to get out and help unload. She hurried to the back of the U-Haul and grabbed a box with her name on it. There would be no wondering what room she was going to get because they were just going to set up the house exactly as it had been before.
It was hard to believe but about a year had passed already since they moved to this house. Since they met they Hatford boys... Just as Caroline was thinking that she saw four figures walking across the bridge.
