Once again, there are no minors in this story. Everyone is 18 and above. Also, just like before, washingtonstatecowboy helped edit this piece. I hope you like it and thanks for reading!

As Sikowitz stared at his class, he felt a sense of disappointment. He had just recently written a play but now his class didn't want to participate. Realizing it was almost summer, he said "Now I know school's almost out but that's no excuse to be saying no to everything...in fact, I propose a challenge: for the rest of the day, until midnight, I want you guys to say yes to everything."
Andre popped his head up and said "everything? Couldn't that end really badly?"
"I don't mean making out with someone and nothing dangerous. But say yes to everything else. Broaden your horizons a little."
Dread registered on the students' faces as the instructions sunk in. Knowing this school, anything could happen. Sikowitz laughed at their expressions. "Since you're all so excited about this, class is dismissed."
The class groaned, grabbed their stuff, and exited the room. Tori was just getting to her locker when Cat ran up to her. "Hey Tori, why so down?"
" Didn't you hear Sikowitz's assignment? This is going to suck..."
"But it gives us the perfect opportunity to visit my brother at his "special help"...you were going to come with me last time but you had to wash your dog...and you don't have a dog..."
Immediate guilt plagued Tori as those words left Cat's mouth. Cat's wanted her to go on this road trip for a long time now and it hasn't happened. It's not that Tori didn't like Cat, she did. It was the insane brother she was worried about. But the look on Cat's face and the recent assignment had Tori saying "Alright fine, I'll go with you. But I won't talk to your brother."
The last comment fell on deaf ears as Cat squealed and hugged Tori. "Oh thank you Tori! My brother doesn't like it when I don't visit and I need a driver."
"You're welcome-wait, driver? That's why I'm going? You have a license!...I don't know how but you do."
Before Cat replied she looked at the floor and played with a strand of her bright red hair. "I may have sort of crashed my car...a squirrel ran in front of it..."
Tori sighed and rolled her eyes. For Cat, this was normal. "Of course...fine, I'll drive. But you owe me."
"Thank you! I'm going to grab my stuff from my locker and then we'll go."
Tori followed after Cat with a perplexed look on her Latina face. "Um, go? Do you realize we're still in school?"
Without missing a beat, Cat said "but if we wait until 2, the mean office lady won't let us in...it's kind of a long drive..."
"How long?"
"About four hours...please don't be mad at me."
Tori sighed and looked at the clock. They still had two hours left of school but something inside her was telling her to go. Lately she had been really stressed at school and the only thing she had left today was academic stuff. Cracking a smile, Tori spoke up. "You know what? Screw school! Where we're going may not be very fun but it's been a while since we've hung out. Let's go Cat...but how are we going to do this without mass amounts of trouble?"
"Oh my brother used to skip school all the time...he said students can sign themselves out of school once they're 18...but what does he know."
"Oh my God Cat, you're actually onto something! We can just say we're going to a rehearsal for Sikowitz's play...the office staff never talks to him anymore after his coconut incident in the microwave..."
After a few minutes of Cat giggling, the girls signed out, climbed into Tori's car, and headed to the hospital. If any guys looked their way they would probably need new jeans. Over on the driver side was Tori; Long, wavy, brunette hair flowing in the wind, sun kissed skin, and a killer smile. Covering her b-cup breasts was a tight, blue v neck t-shirt. Finishing off the look was curve hugging capris and sandals. In the passenger seat was Cat, a fiery red head with smooth skin and chocolate brown eyes. On her feminine body was a low cut, lace blue dress that showed off her toned legs. They were a couple of heart breakers on the move. Tori relaxed in her seat while saying "this is fun. It's been so long since I went for a drive with the radio on and a good friend...Cat, what are you doing?"
"This game is no fun and I can't win."
"Cat, that's my GPS...if you're bored why don't you go over your script for next week?
" OK!" Her face lit up as she grabbed it and got into the zone. Despite her 'moments' as their friends called them, she was an incredible actress. This particular role was a Southern belle from Tennessee. As she did her lines, Tori couldn't help but get pulled in. Her voice was so sensual and the way she was delivering her lines was spot on. If Tori didn't pull it together, she'd crash. Earlier in the year, her and Jade had sex in the janitor's closet at school and a relationship didn't come of it but it told Tori something: she was full on gay; and now she was falling for Cat. After about an hour, Cat took a break from the script. "So how was I?"
Tori tried to play it cool but the gushing just came out. "You were amazing Cat! I completely believed you were from the South."
Giggling, she thanked Tori. But before they could talk more their favorite song came on the radio. Cat grinned as Tori turned it up. Before long, they were singing along, showing off their beautiful voices. Other motorists got a good show seeing two eighteen year olds singing and dancing in their car. This went on for a while and before they knew it, it was three. Cat stopped singing and said "Yay, we're almost there! But Tori..."
"Yes Cat?"
"I have to pee..."
Tori laughed at how cutely Cat said that then said "it's OK. I could use a stop too so I'll pull into this gas station."
Tori parked the car and the girls took turns using the bathroom then scanned the snack isles. After loading up with junk food, they headed back to the car. About forty-five minutes later, the girls pulled up in front of a mental hospital. Tori stopped the car and looked at Cat. "Is this it?"
