The innumerable gulps of tequila that I took earlier are starting to have an effect on me. At least I think they are since I find myself saying, "Steal a car? Piece of cake!"

"Oh really?" Ashton raises a heavily filled in eyebrow. I can't help but laugh every time I look at him in his hilarious getup.

"We are going to return it, right?" I ask. We start to walk towards the dealership.

"Sure."

"Alright, but someone else is gonna have to drive," I tell him.

"Nuh-uh. It's your dare," he informs me.

"The dare is to steal a car. You didn't say anything about driving it," I point out. "Besides, I can't drive. I'm drunk."

"You're so smart even when you're drunk!" Starla exclaims and Darla nods.

"Thanks!" I smile.

"But we've all been drinking!" She says.

"All of us except..." Everyone looks at Chase at the same time.

"Oh, hell no!" Chase steps back.

"You're the only one who hasn't been drinking!" I tell him.

"Do you want your dad to catch us?" Ashleigh crosses her arms. "Cause unless we get out of the area, he will."

"Fine. Whatever." Chase huffs and walks ahead.

"So what's the plan?" Ashleigh asks.

"The place is closed. It can't be that hard." Ashton slurs. How much did he even drink? More than me for sure.

"If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna need some more of that," I take the bottle from Ashleigh's hand and take some more gulps, trying to ignore the pungent flavor.

"Here goes nothing," I say and try to climb over the wall. My attempt fails as my leg slips and gets scraped against the surface. "Ouch!"

"Are you okay?" Ashleigh asks.

"Yeah, it's nothing," I try to climb over it again and succeed this time.

"Y'all stay here and be on the look out," Starla tells the others and starts to climb over the wall. "I'll help Kat."

"You sure?" I ask.

"Yeah. Don't worry, I'm stealthy like a ninja!" She assures me and I chuckle.

We decide against picking the lock of the parking lot incase it has a security system like Mr McKnight's office.

We climb over a second, shorter wall with ease. I switch on my phone's flashlight so we can see clearly. A wide range of cars stand in front of us, some big and some small. All of them look equally fancy and expensive. Which makes sense, considering that is this the most wealthy neighborhood in town.

"Which one should we 'borrow'?" I ask Starla.

"The big yellow one!"

We excitedly run towards the yellow SUV.

"Now what?" I ask.

"Dunno, you tell me!" Starla shrugs.

"Uhh, we break the window?" I suggest.

"Ooh, good idea!" She punches the window and nothing happens. "Ow! This isn't as simple as it is in GTA."

"Let's use a rock!" I exclaim.

Starla runs towards the wall and picks up a rock and hands it to me, "Do your thing!"

I take the rock from her and throw it at the window. The glass shatters and pieces fall all around us.

"Woo! Go Kathryn!" Starla cheers.

"Starla, do you know how to hotwire a car?" I ask.

"Uhh, no?" She thinks. "Do you?"

"Now that I think of it, I don't either," I realize.

"Shit, what do we do now?" She asks.

"I have an idea! But first, let's get out of here."

We run out of the dealership, leaving everything as it is, and catch up with the others right where we left them.

"Where's the car?!" Asks Ashton and we fill them in on the situation.

"We just saw my dad's car go by," Chase tells me. "He didn't see us."

"We still need to leave before he comes searching though," Ashleigh adds.

"Yeah and you're gonna get your head shaved if you don't steal a car," Ashton continues to slur.

"Don't worry, I have an idea." I smirk and tell them my new plan.

"You think that'll work?" Ashleigh raises an eyebrow.

"Of course! It totally worked in that movie 'Dirty Deeds'!" I say confidently.

We walk for about five minutes and reach one of the fanciest restaurants in town. It's a good thing Ashleigh lives in the most expensive area. We stand across the road and observe what's in front of us.

"So Darla, you're going to go and flirt with the valet guy and pull him aside," I start.

"Aye aye captain!" She nods.

"The rest of you can wait down the road and I'll come and get you as soon as I get the car!"

We cross the road and Darla walks up to the slightly geeky valet guy who looks like he's in his early twenties.

"Why, hello there," Darla bats her long eyelashes at him. "Steven, is it? My, you have the most gorgeous blue eyes in the whole world!"

"Oh, um, thank you." He blushes.

They talk some more and Darla manages to pull him aside and take him down the road.

Darla and her irresistible charm!

I go to the valet counter and put on a spare red uniform jacket kept under it.

A black Porsche pulls up in front of the restaurant and a blonde middle aged woman gets out of it.

"Welcome to The Aroma Grove," I greet and she hands me her car keys without giving me a second glance.

I get into the car as she enters the restaurant and take off the jacket, dumping it under the car seat. I drive away and pull up near where Darla is standing with Steven the valet guy.

"Wow, nice car!" Steven compliments and Darla gets in, after saying a quick goodbye.

"You did it!" Darla beams.

"I couldn't have without you!"

I stop the car when we reach the spot where the others are waiting and get out as Chase slips into the driver's seat.

"Damn, you actually did it," Ashton looks surprised and so does everyone else.

"Of course I did! Did you doubt me?" I gloat.

"Um, yes," He responds.

"We're headed to Ashton's, right?" Asks Chase.

"Oh no," I shake my head. "Take us to Macey's!"

"Macey's?" Chase questions, shocked.

"Chase, I triple dog dare you to stand outside Macey's window and serenade her," I say. "Naked."

Oh yeah, there's more drama to come!

Did you enjoy this chapter?

PS- I totally do not condone stealing cars! Like I mentioned in the content warning in the start of this book, I do not necessarily share the characters' opinions and nor do I condone all their actions.
