“Hurry up Kendra you're going to be late Veronica is outside , I’ve already packed your bags LET'S GO NOW!” “Okay Mom I’m coming I have to get my phone charger”. So as I got my phone charger. I kissed my Mom goodbye as I walked out the door.
“Have fun tonight,” Mom yelled as I got in Veronica's car.
“Hey,” I said as Veronica drove off.
“Hey are you ready to go to Jennifer and Johnny’s house.”
“I’m as ready as I’m going to be,” I said quietly.
