Naomi As we got farther from the gas station we figured out what we would do. I figured that Jaz and Dan would be looking and with Jacks intel. they would find us. But I kept on driving. Passing state through state which was tiring. Tyler and I took shifts driving. I thought about my parents a lot. My mom was a school nurse and was a sweet and kind lady while my dad was a working stiff and was kind but firm. My upbringing was kinda uneventful. Met Jaz when I was 5 in kindergarten. She was so....adventurous. Tyler came in at 6th grade. He was quiet and shy, and cute which made a good combination. Jaz was quite taken with him. She studied him with interest as I saw out the corner of my eye, and he looked over she would quickly look away. He integrated into our little group almost unnoticed. He started walking with us and striking up conversation. We became fast friends. Then we got in to middle school. Tyler was recruited to sit with the 8th graders but he chose us. I started dating Allan Plartzki. So I was busy with him. My mom, however had a different idea. "I have and idea! Why don't you start going out with that nice boy Tyler Gonzales? Hmm?" she said "Er, no thanks mom. He's just a friend." I said awkwardly. My mom setting me up was just weird. "but hes so nice" she protested but I closed the door rudely. I missed my old easier life before all of this nonsense. I sighed and pressed my fore head against the car window and thought hard about what we were going to do.
