Do you understand now?

Chapter 1

Ethan:"Hey can I go to the movies with Samantha and Cody?"

Mom:"No, what if ISIS kidnaps you!"

Isa:"Can I go to the Starbucks around the corner with Ethan?"

Mom:"No, what if he makes you do something you don't want to do!"

Me:"He is my age and we are not dating and you know his mother."

Mom:"Well, what if a car kills you?"

Me:"Hey can I go to Forever 21 with Isa while you go to the gap?"

Mom:"What if you get lost?"

Me: "There's a map and Isa."

Mom:"What if there's a terrorist attack?"

Mom:"Just come along with me,"

15 minutes later...

Mom: "why are you so close to me. Walk in front."

Me: "Are you kidding me?!"

Etc.

Chapter 1

My point here is... It's summer and a 15 year old turning 16 like me can't do shit. Why? Simple answer overprotective parents. In my case I have a divorced mother who is going to go crazy bout' anything she sees in the news. I just wonder what would happen if I just... Run away for summer. :)

Me: (vivid/adventurous tone) Isa, wanna have fun this summer?

Isa: not sure that's allowed, Sam (laughs)

Me: let me guess... your parents!

Isa:(sarcastically) way to go! You got it!

Me: what if ...we just maybe...

Isa: what are you thinking? Get straight to the point.

Me: (blurted out) Let's run away Isa with our friends. We can stay at my cousin's

Isa: We would get killed, literally

Me: come on! It will be worth it. We will be calling once a week or so.

Isa: dude, I don't think so

Me: are you in or not

Isa: who else is going?

Me: I'll call Ethan and Cody

Isa: if at least one of them agrees I'm in.

Me: promise?

Isa: yeah, promise

(Dial Ethan's number)

Me: E! It's Sam

Ethan: yeah, what's up doll

Me: wanna have a blast this summer?

Ethan: I do but it depends on what you have in mind. And it's not my decision either way.

Me: it is

Ethan: contact my parents to see if I'm allowed.

Me: bro, this doesn't regard your parents

Ethan: Aja I'm hearing you

Me: let's do something daring lik...

Ethan: not allowed

Me: like running away

Ethan: red roses are to overated I want tulips in my funeral if you don't mind...

Me: come on!!!! We'll stay in my cousin's. All summer... And call every week or so

Ethan: what bout' when we get back

Me: it will be worth it

Ethan: I'm in, how much time should I back for.

Me: 2 months.

Ethan: deal, call you in 30 min.

Me: hell yeah! By the way E..Bring your stash of money

(Calling Cody)

Cody: (sleepy voice) Hi... Sam?

Sam: codyyyyyyy

Cody: (still sleepy voice) saaaaammm

Sam: wanna do something

Cody: at this time?

Sam: no, tomorrow morning

Cody: I'm not allowed too early. Come on Sam, you know this.

Sam: I know but, the thing is... You don't need permission for this

Cody: dude, I need permission to even tie my shoe laces

Sam: this is not tying your shoe laces Cody. Let's run away.

Cody: (sexy low voice) I'm sorry Sammy but I don't feel that way bout' you... It must be har...

Sam: (annoyed) stop it!

Cody: chill Samantha, you know I love you... As a friend of course

Sam: Ethan and Isa are in. You in?

Cody: Isa? She doesn't quite fit the type that runs away.

Sam: she said if one of you agreed she was in... Ethan agreed.

Cody: when do we leave?

Sam: tomorrow morning to my cousin's. Call you at 5:15

Cody: how much clothes

Sam: 2 months

The next morning^^^^^^^Chapter 2

I wake up at 4:30 by the buzzing and soft ring of my phone in my ear. I get out of bed soundlessly. Get my bags and phone and keys etc. once I close the door I realize I did it. I am free. I call an uber. Once in I ask the driver:

Me: hey take me to 1050 Brickell avenue

Uber girl: sure it's 5 bucks

Me: no prob

Uber girl: what is such a young girl doing out of her house at this time? And via Brickell?

Me: going to stay at my cousin's with a couple of friends.

Uber girl: does she know?

Me: she will

We then arrived at Ethan's place.

Uber girl: we're here

Me: (calling Ethan) hey I'm here

Ethan: I'm going to down with the bags. A couple of minutes later I see Ethan coming out of the building with a luggage and a backpack.

Ethan: Sam!

He says entering the car.

Me: Ethan! You have Everything?

Ethan: yup ( kisses my cheek)

Me:why was that for? I say noticing my cheeks flushing.

Ethan: (murmured in my ear) I'm just letting you know

We then both went quite. We have had feeling for each other since 6th grade but, never had a real relationship because of our parents.

Me: now to Keviscane. I don't know the exact address but I'll get you there.

Uber girl: okay. By the way you guys make such a cute couple.

I was about to say we weren't a couple when Ethan interrupted.

Ethan: thanks

I looked at Ethan and raised an eyebrow. He then held my hand. I smiled at him then asked in a whisper,

Me: so is it official?

Ethan: do you want it to be?

Me: yeah

We then arrived at Cody's house.

(I dialed his number)

Me: Cody we are here

Cody: let me gather my things.

Me: k

We then see Cody coming out of the house with a giant luggage and a little bag on top.

me: thank god this is a xl

Uber girl: (laughs) On the back!

Cody: lower the voice!

He then gets in the car and sees Ethan and I holding hands.

Cody: Finally!

Uber girl: do your parents know you are doing this

Me: no

Uber girl: do they care?

Me: more than they should

Uber girl: ooooohhh, I had those too..never had the guts to do what you are doing though.

Me: next stop is in coconut grove. I'll get you there. While I told the girl where the house was Cody said this to Ethan,

Cody: how did you tell her

Ethan: let's face it, we all knew it was mutual. I came in the car kissed her cheek and told her I just wanted to let her know. Then she made it official.

Cody: with a full kiss?

Ethan: no she just asked.

Cody: dude, you didn't even get a full kiss!

Ethan: I don't need that. I just want to be able to call her mine for now.

Cody: what a gentlemen! (Taps Sam's arm) Good choice!

I turn around confused.

Me: what?

Cody: no, you just got a great guy that's all. Let's go get Isa.

Once at Isa's,

Me: (calles Isa) hey we are here.

Isa: are you sure you want to do this

Me:yeah
