“Hey can you guys be quiet? I’m trying to focus on driving!” The windows on the rusty station wagon began to shake. I turn up the music in an attempt to hide the laughter echoing from the back seat. It was coming from Liam and Maggie; the love birds. Khloe and I sat in the front, rolling our eyes at them. I was driving and she was guiding me using the worn out GPS; we made a good team.
