"THERE!" Sandy presses her tapping finger against the window and points to the opposite side of the lake. I follow her gaze until my jaw drops in disbelief.

"Wait, this is supposed to be your vacation home? It's gigantic!"

"Wow, it looks so beautiful, Sandy" Mindy claps her hands excitedly.

   "Guys, calm down, you're distracting me from driving-" Cate mumbles

"Guys, calm down, you're distracting me from driving-" Cate mumbles.

"-And we're only staying here for three days? You're definitely not getting my fat ass out of here" Sarah's hands seek a hold on my shoulder as she climbs a row ahead and hastily leans out through the car roof.

Fina also joins her in this action and scrambles her way to Sarah. But this creates such a commotion that Cate is losing patience at the wheel and wants to know what scramble is going on in the back.

"All of you are like some nine-year-olds on sugar rush, totally incapable of taking anything calm. What are you doing behind me-"

"-Omg, look back at the road!"

As I reach the roof, planting my feet on the seat beneath me, a headwind bounces right off my skin making my hair swirl around like crazy. The fresh scent of the forest overpowers me with so much adrenaline that I feel butterflies in my stomach and could explode from excitement "Holy Virginity!"

"Ahu ahu ahuuu" Fina joins me with imitated wolf noises and interrupts our embrace because she sees the first heads and arms sticking out of the pulled-down windows cheering in joyful anticipation.

"Ahuuu!"

Now this is what freedom feels like.

Cate hasn't even finished parking when we bolt out of the car and race toward Sandy's house.
