Billy swiped open his smartphone and saw Riley's message, he had gotten up at seven. He smiled, it was the day to leave this town, if not forever, but four days would do. It was just what he needed, to get away from home for a bit and sort things out in his head. He had started packing for the trip two days before, so he was super ready on that beautiful morning. His parents were still asleep and he did not want to wake them. They didn't think it was a very good idea but Billy was persistent and even told them that it was later that month. He had lied but had also left a note on the kitchen table stating where he was. He opened the front door and quietly shut it as to not make a noise.

He opened his small Honda Civic, and placed his suitcase in the trunk. When that was done he got into the drivers seat, placing his backpack, which contained some important items that he wanted to bring along next to him. Those items just happened to be hard liquor that Billy had acquired through a trade of sorts. He was definitely not proud of himself but he couldn't help it and hey, maybe even his friends would get a kick out of it.

As he drove, he couldn't help but dwell on the fact that the news would be out soon. He could see the headlines now, "Penn State undergraduate mysteriously disappears from Campus- Foul play or something else?" If they paid attention to the details, they figure out that it was his sister, perhaps when they returned home but for now he had time.

As he pulled into the parking lot, the ominous windows of the high school stared down at him. He hated that place and he silently wished that they had met somewhere else but whatever. He honked his horn at Riley as he parked next to the RV, stepping out he put a smile on his face and said, "Is it just me or does this thing get smaller each year?" As he pointed to the RV.
