![]() ![]() I can feel her take in one last smell of me. It’s one thing to act chill at a crowded lunch table, another in a cramped car for hours on end.Ī horn announces their arrival, Si driving his mom’s minivan- because nothing says wild road trip than the vehicle of choice for soccer moms. Simon says Leah is claiming the same thing. ![]() Garrett swears up and down to me that it won’t be awkward. If I have one worry about the whole thing, well, it’s going to be a repeat of the picnic crew. Through our superior reasoning, (and some light bribery- Garrett’s getting his beach vacay this summer, Leah’s seeing the Museum of Sex, dragging us all along for the ride- I’m going to die-, and Abby’s eating at a Cajun restaurant because New York has everything) we got everyone on board for NYC. We peeled off Nick’s vote with a promise that DC will be a stop along the way. First ballot I, of course, went with Simon, while Leah, who had been suspiciously quiet for the entire process (not even one snide remark!), plumped for New Orleans. I think he’s trying to prove that it’s not that far. Garrett was a bit more traditional, wanting to cruise around Miami, getting rays on the beach. Abby herself thought New Orleans would be a treat. Because of Abby, I’m sure, see where she grew up. But hey we’ll be going our separate ways after this summer, it’s only right to take advantage of every opportunity while we still have them. Obviously, there’s an expectation we’ll all be friends forever. The idea is for this trip to be a last hurrah, of sorts. It was a bit touch and go for a while there. But hey she’s actually willing to let me go, so there’s that. She’s hardly convinced by my totally airtight logic. That means six phones and six sets of worried overprotective parents, what could go wrong?” Tempting fate there and definitely not helping my case, but also it needs to be said. She means well, but it’s just the way she’s talking, you’d think I was about to go on an epic YA style world saving quest, not a spring break road trip to NYC. I’ll drive up anywhere, and do anything I can.” And if anything, and I mean anything, goes wrong or you need help, don’t hesitate to call. Somehow, I doubt Mom would see the humor in that joke. “You’ll be smart, right?” Last time I checked I’m a dumbass gay so no promises. ![]()
