Six days later:

Squid's P.O.V

The phone rang it was X-ray.

"Hello?"

"Hey Squid, its X-ray."

"Hey man what's up?"

"Nothing, are you still planning on leaving tonight?"

"Yah, everything is set." X-ray went quiet, I don't know why because he normally is talking constantly.

"X, what's up? Why are you so quiet?"

"Oh… nothing just take care of yourself man. Do you need a ride tonight?"

"No, I'm driving myself. Look I should get going I'll talk to you later."

"Ok man, if you need anything call. Oh and say hi to Kandy for me ok?"

"Alright! Bye!" I hung up. My stomach was filling with butterflies. I finished packing by stuffing some more clean tee shirts in my backpack. I was zipping up my bag when there was a pull on my pants. It was Quincy.

"Quincy what are you doing up here?" I tried not to sound to startled; I did a bad job of that.

"Where are you going?" I could see the worry in her eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere; I was just packing my school bag. I don't want to lose anything over break." I could tell she didn't believe me, but I had no choice.

"Ok whatever you say… time for dinner." She turned around and rolled her eyes. I followed her out of the room and tried to change the subject.

"So… how's school?"

"Fine, I got 100 on my last spelling test. How is your school?"

"Fine." Once we got to dinner I took this opportunity to talk as little as I could. I was never very good at lying and I didn't want to give anything away. As soon as someone asked me a question I answered and then stuffy my mouth with more food so I couldn't carry out the conversation anymore.

Once we were done I helped Jodi with dishes like always and then went back to my room. I looked at the clock, it was eight o'clock. I had to leave in four hours. I was really stressed out and rolled over to take a nap, but woke up quickly and realized that I would sleep all night and miss my flight, so I turned on my computer and went onto AOL instant messenger. There were a few people on, but the only person I really wanted to talk to was Kandy. I sent her a message and told her to come back from away.

Squid: Kandy, come back I want to talk to you!

Kandy: (Away message) Just imagine if you were my homework right now… you would be spread wide open on my bed and all I would be doing is thinking about how hard you are and wishing I could do you the right way!

Squid: Kandy I know you're not doing homework its break… you're probably reading this and laughing now come back!

Kandy came back instantly. I was right she had been reading my message and laughing.

Kandy: ha-ha you got me! So what's up?

Squid: Nothing much

Squid: You?

Kandy: Oh nothing you just made it sound like it was urgent that's all.

Squid: Nah, I was just really bored and I can't wait to see you! Are you sure everything is set? Is it cool with Ryan that I stay at his house with you guys?

Kandy: Yah its fine! I am so excited! What time are you getting here again?

Squid: Well my plane leaves at one and it is a two and a half hour flight… but there is a time difference so…ummm….

Suddenly Quincy007 IMed me.

Quincy: Hey Alan

Squid: Hey who's this?

Quincy: Quincy! Duh!

Squid: Quincy can you even read? I didn't know you have a Sn.

Quincy: Yah I got bored one day and made one. I can read by the way I am seven now!

Squid: Well I was just leaving so ill talk to you in the morning. I am really tired.

Quincy: Where are you going?

Squid: No where! Good night! I quickly blocked her and went back to talking to Kandy.

Kandy: Squid…Hello…

Squid: Oh sorry yah so I should get there at about… one thirty or two I think. I'm not very good with time differences.

Kandy: Yah me either I hope Ryan can figure it out. OMG Ryan is making me clean before you come so I need to get off. I will talk to you soon! Love ya! Xoxo

Squid: Love ya too

Once Kandy got off I signed off and went back and sat down on my bed and picked up a magazine on the side of my bed. I was really tired so I figured I might as well get some sleep so I set my alarm to 11:30 and went to sleep.

Once my alarm went off I jumped over my bed and turned it off. Even though I was on the top floor I didn't want to wake up anyone. I quickly showered and got dressed. By the time I was finished it was 11:50.

Well, I better get started… I thought to myself, I was walked out of my room and little did I know Quincy was standing around the corner watching me. She ran down the hall into her parent's bed room. As soon as I got downstairs I got some food and stuffed it in my backpack and then grabbed Bruce's keys that were sitting on the counter. I headed off towards the driveway. Lucky for me Bruce was an ass and never parked in the garage because he liked to show off his Lamborghini, so I didn't have to worry about the garage door waking anyone up. Just as I was about to reach the car I saw Jodi standing on the other side waiting for me.

"Where are you going Alan…?"
