Much of Nothing
"There isn't much in this town that I haven't seen either," You say, "And I've been to the tunnels often enough, but West... I haven't been west."
Dan smiles. "Then we're going West."
"Fuck you guys," Mikey responds, "I'm still going to the tunnels."
"Me too," says Dudley. "The tunnels are fun. Heading West sounds like a long ass ride full of Dan's shitty-ass music."
Dan glares at him, "Where's your fucking sense of adventure, asshole?"
"In the tunnels," Dudley replies. "I'm out of here." He starts walking away, and Mikey follows.
"I didn't want you stinking up my car anyway, cock suckers!!" Dan cries after them.
The two of you watch in near silence as Dudley and Mikey walk away, neither of them looking back. Dan mutters curses under his breath while your friends make their way through the overgrown wooded area.
Your silent witness of departure is broken suddenly by an unfamiliar feminine voice from behind you. "I'll go." Says the voice. The two of you turn around to see the girl that came with Dudley still standing there. "It sounds like fun," she says. There is a smile on her face, and her eyes are bright. You didn't notice it before, but she is quite beautiful. She has that hot hippy look that you've always found so alluring.
You look at Dan and he looks at you, his eyes seem to reflect the confusion in your own. Who is this girl, and why did she not go with Dudley?
"I thought you came here with Dudley." Dan says. Leave it to him to say what no one else wants to say.
"I did." She replies simply. "Are we going, then?" She looks between the two of you, waiting for a response.
"Okay," You say. Dan nods his consent as well.
"Good," she says, "I can drive."
"A lot of people can drive." Dan says.
Now you know that Dan's car is a piece of shit, but this is his idea, and he's always been kind of funny in his obsessive need to be the driver. Perhaps it would be wrong to allow an outsider to drive in his stead. On the other hand, the girls' car is in all probability much nicer than Dan's. But what if she's a psycho? You don't really know anything about her, do you?
They're looking at you for you to decide. Fuck! What do you do?
