Chapter 3(a):
_______________
The road started out like any other Los Angeles road.Straight,lined with stores and filled with traffic.But the further we drove ,the more barren things became.I tried to convince myself that we were only going to be driving through a little bit of isolated farmland before we'd find ourselves in civilisation again.but when we didn't pass a single gas station for ten minutes and it began to get dark,I started to worry.
Apparently KD was worried too.
"Let me see the map" he told me,leaning over my shoulder to read it.i pulled the map away so he couldn't see how lost we were.i knew we would figure out how to get to San Diego eventually.But I wasn't about to tell him I got us lost .
Which I didn't,because it was all the maps fault
Stupid map.
"I am the navigator" I announced.
KD rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Just let me see it for one second"he said,holding his hands out.
"No"I slapped his hand away.
"Chicklet"he said,"I just want to see where we are"
I shook my head and hugged the map to my chest.
"You are acting like a five year old"
"Nu-uh"I cried.
KD rolled his eyes at me again.
"Chicklet,give me the map right now"he demanded.
Even in the flash light I could tell he was glaring at me.
But I didn't move.
So KD decided that it would be a good idea to grab the map from me.Ofcourse he didn't take into account that he was driving.i started screaming as he lunged for the map.,grabbing it in one hand and released the steering wheel.we both jolted forward as the truck swerved off the road,lurching and rumbling over the dirt.and in the trucks headlights,I saw that we were barreling towards a grove of trees.
When you are about to die ,your entire life is supposed to flash before your eyes.
But all I saw we're some trees,a road map and that idiot Stoneface.
But suddenly the car lurched downwards.my seat kept me from flying forward,but I lost all air in my lungs.i sat for a second,trying to breathe normally,before it dawned on me that we had stopped moving.
And we were in a giant ditch.
"KD?"I asked,my voice shaking .
"Yeah?" He replied,his voice equally hoarse.
"You...are ...an idiot!" I screamed lashing my hand out to hit his chest.
"I am sorry"he cried,"I told you everything always goes wrong for me"
"This has nothing to do with lick"is etched,"you are the worst driver that I have ever met"
"I am sorry okay!here let's get out of the truck.,"he offered,reaching over to unbuckle me.the second the seatbelt retracted,I fell forward and smacked my forehead against the dashboard.I heard KD snort as he tried to suppress a laugh.
"You did that on purpose!"I hollered.
"Calm down Kiya,you are going to give yourself a headache,"he told me,adding under his breathe,"I know you are giving me one."
I cursed under my breath and turn to my side,eager to get as far away from KD as possible.But the ditch was so narrow that I couldn't open the passenger's side door more than an inch.and even though I hadn't eaten my dinner yet,I wasn't that skinny.i turned around to see that KD had unbuckled himself and was trying,with no luck to open the driver side door.
I groaned and threw my head back.
"Great,"I threw my hands up,"weare stuck!"
"Calm down.i have got this,"KD said,throwing me a cocky grin.
I glared at him.
"Look"he explained,"we can crawl out the back here"
KD pointed to the small window that led out to the trunk of the car.i looked at him,then at the window,and then back at him.i folded my arms over my chest and glared at him in disbelief.
"Come on,ladies first,"he urged.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"When we get out of this,I am going to murder you,"I hissed before climbing up onto the dashboard and pushing myself towards the tiny window.
