      Night Road

      Ewww! I hate this band, Kelly squealed as she reached over and punched the button on the car’s radio. Silence descended.

      Brenda Larson, sitting behind her friend, breathed an inward sigh of relief. The radio had been playing quite loudly ever since the two couples had left the Cineplex twenty minutes ago. Brenda’s head was throbbing, but she had not had the courage to ask the occupants in the car to turn the sound down.

      Brenda had blushed and snuck a glance at David to see his reaction. David, who wore glasses and seemed a little more laid back than Scott was, shot her a sympathetic look and said, Hey, there are worse things then having parents who care about you.

      That comment had warmed her heart. During dinner at a local fast-food joint, Brenda and David had chatted about teachers they both had at the high school while Kelly and Scott giggled and fed each other french fries.

      The movie had been a good one that all four had wanted to see, and Brenda was feeling as if it had been a nice date as she joined the rest of her friends in Scott’s red Grand Am. Then, instead of going home,
