The Road Trip

Chapter 13

Chapter 13
Levi and I were speeding down the road being sure to check every road sign that we passed.

Blueberry Pancake Ln. Nope that’s not right.

Canadian Monkey Cir. Definitely not.

Syrup-Covered Ants Crossing. Uhh… no, Georgians sure are creative, if that’s the right word...

Each sign we passed were wrong. I was starting to tense up a little before we finally found the right road, well Levi did, and as soon as Levi did, I was notified, which I was glad about, sorta.

“DEEEENNNYYYY!!! LOOOOOK PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE ROAD!! IT’S TO YOUR RIGHT!! TURN HERE! WE’RE GONNA FIND ERIC!! YAAAAY!!! DENNY ARE YOU LISTENING?!?!” Levi yelled at the top of lungs, even though she was sitting right. next. to. me. Calming breaths, don’t yell, you just got her back. I turned onto the street and then addressed Levi, who was practically hyperventilating.

“Levi… calm down. I’m on the road, I can hear you, and we are in pursuit of Eric. No need to yell when I’m RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!” I yelled the last part toward her too make my point. Levi giggled.

“Hee hee, oh yeah right… I’m just SO excited!!! This is going to be great! I’ve always wanted to stalk someone!!!” I looked at her strangely. Did she really just say that—

“Hmm I am rethinking that statement and I did NOT mean to sound like such a creeper… haha” Levi said quickly.

“Yeah I was hoping you didn’t mean it that way, Kit-Kat, that would be weird even for you.” I laughed a little at her while saying this. We were silent for a bit after that (no, it was not awkward, just silent), and listened to the music. Well, Levi was listening to the music, I, on the other hand, was pondering how we would find Eric after we got to Orlando. But after a few minutes of thinking, without any success I shrugged the thought off and decided to let whatever happens happen. Maybe fate’s luck will be on our side.

“I GOTTA GO POTTY!!!” I yelled. We had been driving for about 2 and half hours and were about an hour and a half from Orlando. We had been having a good time on the way down here, hardly talking about Eric, just a few other things, like Skittles (my brother, Scott) and my mom, my dad, her mom (who is really cool, she’s an artsy, laidback person who is a GREAT cook), and her dad (who is still with her mom, unlike my parents, even though my parents are still friendly (not necessarily friends) and are civil). It had been nice, just like old times before this ‘amazing’ road trip began. I have to admit though, the road trip was kind of fun.

“Wooow, Twix, is that what I was like when I said that?” Levi asked, obviously restraining herself from rolling her eyes, and beaming a huge smile.

“Yah, except you were even louder than I was just now.” It is true, I was loud, but she was louder (as always).

“Hmmm… I might just believe that, but I guess that means I’ll have to pull over at a rest stop doesn’t it?” Lev asked with an interesting tone, that I didn’t recognize.

“Yeeees, it does…” I said safely, guarding my voice. Hmm what is she thinking?

“I wonder if anything interesting will happen at this one…” Levi said thoughtfully. Oh, I get it, because she met and introduced me to Eric at the one where she had to go pee… it would be an interesting coincidence if something happened at this one.

“Ooooh, now I get it, who knows what will happen. Maybe it will just be a normal visit to a rest stop.” I told her nonchalantly. We were now approaching the rest stop. My mind began to go on hyper speed, thinking of different possibilities… Maybe Eric’s here, maybe we’ll meet a different nice boy, maybe a new friend. In the back of my mind with each of these possibilities was a nagging sense that nothing would happen at all.

As we pulled into a parking space, I allowed that sense to overcome my brain, so I wouldn’t be let down if nothing happened. I left Levi to wait in the car, and walked towards the restrooms. Let’s see what happens with this…

Woooow, that was sad... Sorry for such a late update, I've been really busy with my Honors and AP classes... That's also why this one is so short. I'll try to update quicker this (yes I know I've said that before...)
