As the day slowly changed to dusk and the sky-scrapers of downtown Los Angeles gleamed in the setting sun, Jordan’s Jaguar cruised down the 405 at 60 MPH. Rachel turned off the radio and looked over to the blonde goddess in the driver’s seat next to her. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Did I ever mention how much I love this car?”

“Only about seven times since we left the school parking lot”

“Well that proves its awesomeness!”

“Ok, let’s get one thing straight, if you ever say ‘awesomeness’ in my car again-“

“Oh shut up!”

Rachel laughed and looked out the window as the buildings and people just zoomed by. That’s LA for you; you have to take in everything in the blink of an eye before plunging yourself into the insanity. It was definitely different from her old life in northern California, but this was her home now and nothing would ever change that.

“So I found out there’s a new girl at school,” Rachel began as she broke herself away from her thoughts. “I heard she’s pretty interesting.” Jordan scoffed, “There are over two-thousand students at King, why would one more corpse added to the mass hysteria be of any interest to us?”

“Um.” Rachel cleared her throat and let her eyes wander. Jordan took a moment to look over to her before returning her attention to driving, “What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Rachel casually placed a lock of hair behind her ear and swallowed hard before spitting out the next sentence. “She’s hanging out with Davies.”

The brakes slammed and tires screeched as Jordan’s grip on the wheel tightened, trying to keep the car from crashing. “God, Jordan! Do you want to wreck?” Rachel slammed her head against the head rest and exhaled sharply. That didn’t go quite as smoothly as she expected.

The look on Jordan’s face could only be described as ‘freaking out’. She remained speechless as she looked forward; not at the road in front of her, but past the world into ‘Jordanland’, a world she constantly visited.

Car horns blared from all directions around them; reminding Jordan she was still on the freeway and expected to drive the car instead of just sitting there. She loosened her grip on the steering wheel and continued driving. After regaining complete control of herself and the car, Jordan finally acknowledged the other girl in the car.
