in my life. I guess I’m scared, too,” I say. Like always...I’m scared. I’m always scared, and it’s getting really tiring.
                  “Of what?” He asks.
                  “I don’t know. Losing my best friend? Not staying in touch with her? Not meeting new friends at college? College being too hard? There are plenty of things to be scared of. Not seeing my parents every day? I mean, trust me, my parents bug the crap out of me sometimes, but I’m going to hate not seeing them every day.” This is the first time I look at him since he started the car.
                  “You’ll call your parents every day. And trust me, not even an earthquake can keep you and Chasity apart. You guys will text 24/7 and Skype every night.”
                  “I know, but what if she finds another best friend?”
                  “You know, she may find another best friend at the college she goes to, but that does not mean you will not also be her best friend.” He looks at me and my breath hitches. I look away from his deep green eyes and out the window trying to keep my breath steady. I look ahead and see my mom waving from the passenger seat of my dad’s truck. I wave back and put on a fake smile. The fact is, I’m suffocating under questions and emotions.
                  “And my parents are going to be sad that I’m gone. Why are they pushing me so much to go to college if all they’re going to be is sad when I do?” He just looks at me with no response. Like he’s trying to figure out where that question came from.
                  “You’re parents are going to be happy for you. That happiness will cover over the sadness. They’ll be proud more than anything, Becc.” There’s “Mr. I Always Have the Right Answers to Everything.”
                  “So what about you? Are you ready for the big senior year?” I look up at him. He has two hands solid on the steering wheel. He’s in-control and sure of his every move. I’m not a fan of driving with anyone besides my parents and Cynthia. I don’t trust anyone else behind the wheel, but he seems pretty comfortable and confident.
                  “Don’t remind me of school. It’s rude.” He chuckles to himself. “Besides, after this vacation we only have four days until our first day, so I’m trying to stay in the moment of summer as much as possible,” he continues.
                  “Ah, got it.” I nod.
                  “So, does Chasity have a boyfriend?” He tries to be all casual about it, but both him and I know he’s not being casual at all.
                  “Don’t even think about it,” I say as I point a finger at him. Not the middle one, but I thought about it.
                  “Ewww! No! Not like that,” he says back.
                  “Then what did you mean?”
                  “I don’t know. I’m just trying to make conversation, I guess. We’re going to be spending twenty-two hours in the same car; I don’t want things to be all awkward and silent,” he says. I rather drive in silence. That’s not going to happen though.
                  “Fine. No, Chasity does not have a boyfriend.”
                  “Do you?” I squint my eyes at Kade when he asks this. Who the heck does this guy think he is? He’s lived with me for like four days and he now seems to think he can get information about my love life when he wants it? Nope, that’s not going to happen. “What? I’m just wondering,” he continues.
                  “No, Kade, I do not have a boyfriend. I like being single. What about you, huh? Do you have a girlfriend, Kade?” I cross my arms over my chest and look over at him with a cocky look smacked on my face.
                  “Why no I do not, Becca, thank you for asking,” he
