Chapter 4 Amanda's perspective
I can't believe all this! It all started because of one stupid mistake. Which I release now was a real stupid mistake. I mean all this for a stupid tree? How
dumb can this get? So now I am stuck in this police car going to jail. I mean how did I get in this mess? I know they called me an 'accessory to the crime'
I did nothing! Well now that I think of it I did know what happened and did not tell anyone. Wait! That means someone else knew besides Rachel and
me!
For almost the rest of the way Amanda just stared out the closed, barricaded window. She has never been in the city before but for shure she did not like
it. It was too noisy and she did not like noise. She loved the quiet peacefulness of the country. When she got bored of thinking of the city and country
she played some Taylor Swift music over in her head. Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see, That I want and I'm needing everything that we
should be, I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about, And she's got everything that I have to-ahhhh!
Suddenly the car swerved around a corner and caught Amanda off balance. She hit the door with her elbow that caused searing pain. The seconds seem
to slow as she noticed a little black plastic stick sticking out of the topside of the door. Then one thought went through her mind. They did not lock the
door!
Rachel's perspective
"Owww!" she screamed as her head hit the top of the shiny new police car. Her hands where now tied behind her back as if she was some criminal.
I am not a criminal! She thought. All I did was hijack a tree. What type of federal offence is that? Oh great! How am I going to reach my hair pin now? I
am in hand cuffs and the police are watching me 24/7! Well I could…
Rachel reach up with her hands and although it was difficult she managed to grab a hair pin from her head and try to pick the lock on her hand cuffs. Oh
my gosh we are almost there! Now she tried faster to pick the lock, suddenly click and the cuffs unlatched. Suddenly the car swirved and by reflex she
reached her hand up to stop the fall.
"Hey how did you get out of the hand cuffs!" Someone yelled up front.
