Kassey had risen early, all too eager to begin the little mini-vacation that she looked forward to each year with her friends. In attempts to get her excitement under control, she went for an early morning run around her neighborhood. The rising sun painted a warm glow over the slowly waking town, setting the scenery for what she hoped would be an incredible four days out on the lake. Kassey had to keep herself from running up and banging on doors as she passed several of her friend's homes. The urge to toss pebbles at their windows and yell at them to wake up already pulled at her, but she figured she might as well let them sleep because they might not be getting much of that on their adventure. 

Kassey returned home and showered, and much to her delight she was met with a text from Riley as she exited the bathroom. A grin played across her face as she dried off and got dressed. She let her hair fall into its natural wave, still slightly damp as she made her way downstairs with her bags to meet her dad at the kitchen table. "Good morning, sweetie. Off so soon?" He greeted her, dressed in his police uniform with a mug of black coffee in his hands. "Yep, gotta get an early start on the partying." That earned her a lowered brow from her father. "Kidding. Kind of. Love ya Dad!" He mumbled a 'love you too' as Kassey wrapped him in a hug, then reminded her to text her mother. She gave him a thumbs up as she walked out the door to her car and threw her bags in. 

It wasn't a long drive to the school, though in Red Lake it wasn't a long drive to anywhere in town. As she pulled into the parking lot of the high school, she was met by a handful of the gang gathering around the RV. The car was quickly put into park and Kassey retrieved her bags, locking the car after her. Eagerly, she practically skipped over to her friends by the RV and met them with a large grin plastered on her face. "Hey guys! Who's ready for a kick ass trip? You already know I am." A small laugh escaped her as she set her bags down and joined the pow-wow circle to wait for the rest of the group to arrive. "We totally have to top last year's trip, it'll be tough but who better to raise the bar than us?"
