1428 Elm Street, later that week, Friday
Both Gibb and Lori were waiting in front of the house. Lori was still a little confused. Images still flashed through her mind, all about Lori's dreams, and all with the same freak: a man with a burned face and knives for fingernails.
Gibb, who was smoking a cigarette at the time, noticed Lori was pretty much out of it, so she asked: "Lori. Lori! Is something wrong?"
Lori suddenly woke up from her thoughts: "Huh… oh… nothing. It's just... "I've been having these weird dreams lately."
"Yeah so do I." Gibb replied, "But I don't spend much attention to them anymore."
Lori said: "Yeah well…" but then Gibb changed the subject.
"When did Will say he's gonna be here?"
After looking at her watch, Lori replied: "Two minutes ago."
She noticed Gibb making a face as if to say 'Oh', and added: "Relax, he'll be here.Why?"
The following Lori asked with a kind of an undertone: "Are we getting a bit impatient here?"
"No!" Gibb nearly shouted, "It's just… I…"
"Can't wait to see him again, right?" Lori finished the sentence for her.
Gibb paniced: "See who?"
"Why… Kane, off course!" Lori answered matter-of-factly.
Gibb muttered: "W…Wha… Why would I…"
"Come on, Gibb!" Lori interrupted, "Do you think I never notice you staring at him ever since freshman year? Even before you started anything with Trey!"
Gibb sighed: "Was I that obvious? Wish he'd have noticed."
"Well then," Lori said as a tuned van drove into the street, "maybe you can let him notice now."
While Gibb was getting a bit nervous after Lori's words, the van stopped in front of them, Will stuck his head out of the van, and said: "You girls ready?"
"More then you can imagine!" Lori replied as she took her bags.
Some time later, close to the exit from Ohio, we find al seven of them. Will behind the wheel, Lori next to him, bags in the cargo base, in the middle, Kane and Gibb and the alcoholic drinks on the left, Kia and the other guys on the right side. While Bill smoked up some weed, and Gibb drank lots of beer, Charles finished telling everyone a joke.
Everyone laughed, Kia however did not.
"Ya'll is this all what we're gonna do the whole trip, cause ya'll this really stinks."
"So do you when you start talking!" Kane remarked.
"Dude! That was cold!" Bill complimented.
Kia didn't know what to say.
Lori had to be the one to keep the peace: "Guys! Are you gonna keep on fighting like that?"
"Tell that to that…" Kia tried to say, but Kane interrupted her.
"To who, Kia? Can't you at least try to remember my name?"
"OK, stop now!" Gibb convinced him.
Kane looked at her for a few seconds, then looked away as he said: "You're right, she ain't worth it."
"Glad you feel that way." Gibb replied.
A few seconds later, Kane wanted to ask Gibb, who was lighting up a cigarette, to pass him a bottle of beer, but he started coughing when he got some of the smoke in his face.
"What's the matter?" she asked somewhat panicked.
Kane pointed at the cigarette as he coughed: "That's what!"
"Sorry." Gibb apologised as she put it out.
"It's alright." Kane tried to sound comforting.
"I've been trying to quite, but…" Gibb tried to make him feel better.
"It didn't work, right?" Kane asked, even though he allready understood what she was trying to say.
"Right…" Gibb replied, "Trey even kept yelling at me because I couldn't quit, and…"
"Bully someone into quiting?!" Kane sounded surprised, "No wonder it didn't work! The more you bully someone into it, the harder it gets!"
Gibb smiled a little. She didn't seem to have expected him to understand this at all.
Will interrupted this little happening: "Guys, you'd better cover the beer and dope."
Everyone looked in his direction, surprised, as he added: "There's a roadblock ahead of us!"
"Oh… shit… dude!" Bill said as he was hiding his stash in a magazine, which he later hid under hisbutt.
Will stopped the van. A deputy aproached him at the driver's side.
"Good evening!" he greated Will, "Leaving town?"
"We'll just be gone for Spring break!" Will answered.
"I see." the deputy replied, "Can I see some I.D.'s?"
"Did we do something wrong?" Lori asked.
The deputy remained silent, as if thinking they had done something wrong, but decided to answer anyway: "No… just routine! Now where are the I.D.'s?"
Everyone started looking into their wallets and bags. They all gave their I.D.'s to Will, once they found them, and Will in turn gave them to the deputy.
After looking at all seven of them, he continued talking: "Mind telling me where you're all going?"
"Oh er…" Will started to reply, "we rented a little cabin somewhere in New Jersey."
"U-huh..." the deputy listened, then asked: "Where in New Jersey?"
Will answered: "Er… Camp Crystal Lake!"
Kane looked up in surprise after he heard the name. Almost as if there's something about that camp that he knows, but Will, or anyone else, does not.
The deputy didn't seem to be too convinced on letting them all go just yet: "Are your parents aware you're going?"
"Er… yes they are!" Will answered quickly.
The deputy remained silent again, but eventually saluted them: "Drive carefully!"
"We will." Will replied.
The deputy stepped aside, told the other deputies to let the van through. The group was back on his way to Camp Crystal Lake.
There was a short period of silence. Gibb, who noticed Kane looked surprised by the sound of the name, was the first one to talk: "Is something wrong ?"
"Wh… What ?" Kane seemed to only just wake up.
"Is something wrong?" Gibb repeated.
"No, it's nothing!" he replied.
"Are you sure?" Charles seemed to think the same as Gibb, " 'Cause for a second there you looked like you saw a ghost."
"No," Kane insisted, "it's nothin' to be worried about!"
Everyone seemed to take it for granted. Gibb, however, tapped him on his shoulder to draw his attention.
"Tell me later." Gibb whispered.
Kane put a nervous look on his face after she said this.
