Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 68
Ch 16
I glanced at my closet; I should be getting ready right
about now. I’m supposed to be heading to Jonah’s
house in an hour but here I am procrastinating. It’s 7
o’clock in the evening and I’m watching television
reruns. My phone starting ringing and I groaned.
“Are you getting ready or are you watching Breaking
Bad?”
I winced at Mere’s accusations. “It’s sad that you’d
think so low of me,” I muttered as I brushed through
my wet hair.
“Seriously, Savannah, get ready,” she hung up
before I could even protest and I grumbled as I
stood up and walked towards my closet.
I swung open the door and thumbed through my
sweaters. Finding my blue ‘Free Hugs’ sweatshirt and
tossing it onto my bed, I went to the other side of
my closet and grabbed a pair of black jeans.
I quickly dressed in the clothes before grabbing my
straightener and fixing my hair. With only fifteen
minutes left, I raced toward my closet again and
pulled out my blue winter boots. The things are
made to walk in the snow. I grabbed my coat out of
the closet before stuffing my arms into it. Filling my
pocket with my phone, lip balm, gum, and some
cash, I exited my room.
“Have fun, love you!” my mom and dad cheered
from the living room. As I exited the house, I saw
Jeremiah leaning against the side of my car.
“What?” I asked as I approached him. He shrugged.
“I just wanted to tell you to have fun, but not too
much fun,” he narrowed his eyes at me and I rolled
my eyes before getting in my car. “Don’t forget to
get your New Year’s kiss.”
I scowled while driving away. Jonah texted me the
address and I realized that I have no clue where it is.
I pursed my lips as I strained my mind; if I don’t
know where it is, I’ll end up going in circles. And it’ll
only make me dizzy.
Putting my phone on speaker and placing it in the
dashboard holder, I dialed Jonah’s number. “Hello?”
“Are you on your way?” Jonah’s eager voice asked.
I laughed. “I’m attempting to get there; I don’t know
where your street is,” I told him sheepishly.
He chuckled. “Where are you?” he asked me.
“I’m on the corner of Grimes and Dixon,” I told him
and he began giving me directions.
“Do you want me to just pick you up?” he asked and
I battled with myself for a minute. What if, let’s say,
we do kiss at the party, wouldn’t it be awkward
when we drive back together?
“Yeah, that’d be great,” I told him.
“I’m already 30 minutes away. I hope you don’t
mind if we have to make a stop at the store,” he told
me and I told him it was no big deal before I started
driving back home.
When I got home, I entered the house and my
parents turned to look at me. “Did he cancel on you?”
“Honey, it’s okay. Plenty of guys cancelled on me,”
my mother started to say but I furrowed my
eyebrows.
“Actually, he’s coming to pick me up because I have
no clue where I’m going and the GPS on my phone
doesn’t work,” I informed them, taking off my coat.
They both nodded before turning back to the
television.

When Jonah arrived at my house, I quickly exited. I
was trying to avoid my father, who was eager to
come outside and make conversation. I dived into
the passenger’s seat. “Hurry up! Drive!”
“What?” Jonah asked as he started driving away
from my house. I glanced out the back window to
see my dad watching the car as it drove away.
“What happened?”
