t h i r t e e n : can it get any worse?
His eyes never left the road, and I could tell he was getting antsy as I maintained the silence in the car. My face softened a bit, but it morphed into confusion.
We pass townhouses, skyscrapers, parks, and pools on our drive. Kids play mindlessly among one another, and adults converse and bond over drinks. This group of teens, guys, was strolling out of Starbucks, taking selfies and yelling "period", when a couple girls catcalled them.

That never works. I just have to deal with him in person... sadly. Shawn insisted on wiping up the lemonade himself, so that I wouldn't "ruin anything else".

Kara's POV:That guy... Mr. Grayson, I guess, is gathering everyone. He has his blue suit and mask on.

I highly doubt thathe writes in a diary every day.But then again, I shouldn't assume.I'm tempted to read it. I should read it, or else what the hell was the point in taking it?

She's holding something: a rectangular pink and white box.Wait."Mom, are youserious?", I slap my forehead. She can't be serious
