(Beware: filler chapter)
*************************
June 1996
90 days
He pulled up in a 1994 Toyota Corolla, "Aneurysm" blared through the low quality speakers as he came to a halt in front of us. He was a deathly pale boy with blonde hair swept over his eyes. A torn green flannel was clad over his black polo. Embroidered over the left breast said Regal Cinemas and on the right his name tag read Mickel.
Alice jumped in the passenger seat, throwing her slip-on Vans onto the dash. Ashton and I climbed into the back seat, and before I could even close the door he was driving. The air of awkward silence was masked as "About a Girl" pierced through the car on the cassette tape. Ashton tapped along, keeping up with the beat of the drums in the song. I began drifting into the lullabies if my favorite band, but was interrupted by a question directed towards me.
"So who's the dork?" Michael asks nodding towards me, keeping his eyes on the road.
I go to open my mouth to speak, but I'm cut off by none other than Alice. "That's Luke, he's from Australia." She turns and grins at me, her eyes lost in the squint of her smile.
"Enjoying slumming it in America with us, rich boy?" He asks turning into a mall plaza.
I'm taken aback by his bluntness. "You don't know shit about me. So leave me and my damn life out of your goddamn mouth." I cross my arms over my chest and look out the window as we park. Who did he think he was to make assumptions about me?
Ashton sits up awkwardly, eyes darting between Michael and I. Alice's lips are pressed into a tight smirk. "Oh so now the dingo wants to start-" Michael starts, throwing his seat belt off, his hand going for the door.
"Shut up Mickel." She places her hand on his chest, turning to smile at me. "Now get us into Scream." Her gaze finds him and she grins at him, her tongue poking out slightly from behind her crooked teeth.
"You're lucky those shorts are working for you." He gives her a once over and kicks his door open.
"If they weren't you'd be driving to pick us up from the county jail." Ashton grumbles. Alice rolls her eyes and goes to get out, but pauses and glances at me.
"We dated briefly last summer." She states, confirming the suspicions in the back of my mind. "We're better off as friends." She shrugs and turns to exit. Ashton and Michael are outside chatting it up. Alice turns back to me and smiles a small smile, throwing her sunglasses down.

"You're going to fit in well."
