Alyssa's POV:

so after the teasing round we all were out, I was so embarrassed but now I was fine, they literally laughed at my face,

they didn't mind joking about my romance life, I huffed, "Alright gang lets head to the mystery machines" Mason joked,

"Everybody knows the address to this beach house", Carlos confirmed, Stan, Mason and even Maddy nodded, I stared at her, she winked,

"what about the snacks" Maddy asked, "we will stop on the way to some store where we stop for gasoline", Stan commented, we all nodded,

we all were pretty excited, our eyes were gleaming with adventure filled rush,

"Best suspended vacay ever" Mason yelled, we laughed, everyone was going to the cars,

"Wait" I said to them, while searching my purse,"What is it Alyssa did you forget something at home", Carlos asked politely,

"Nope actually I wanna capture this moment, this is something really special to Me", I said to them while showing my Polaroid camera, they smiled,

"Well why didn't you say so Stan you are the tallest here, take an awesome photo of us all", Mason handed the camera to Stan, his hand was exactly like a selfie stick, we all came closer,then smiled,

"Say cheese" Stan said,

We all said cheese except Mason "bitch please" he retorted, we laughed at that, the photo that came out was so full of life, Mason almost died by the hands of Carlos's,

as he thought that Papa bear ruined the picture, but it was so lively, we took two or three more, I was so happy, I always captured moments in my camera, I love Polaroids,

"You happy" Carlos smiled my way through the front mirror, "Yes actually alot happy, cant wait to see your beach house" , I said to him while buckling my seat belt, he chuckled

"you are so cute when you are excited", he commented on my princess behavior, I just smiled, we talked about almost everything in the car, Carlos was really cool, the more we very communicating,

the more we understood each other perfectly, he was the opposite of all the gossips I heard, maybe that's why we shouldn't listen to what ever we here around us,

well the Carlos he is in school is really different from the Carlos he is with his squad, this one is caring, friendly and even humor filled, but the possessiveness and cockiness stays with him forever,

"Wanna race freak!" Stan shouted from his Mustang,

"Bring it on Jerk" Carlos smirked in response, his Viper was roaring as he hit the race pedal two or three times, I was flabbergasted, race right now!!!,in the middle of nowhere,

I heard Jordan hollering, "Yes something interesting", Mason said from his Corvette, to tell you the truth they all had muscle cars,

all cars were looking aggressively shiny and rugged in the scorching heat, like running horses on fire, leaving a trail of blazing lava behind, Maddy was yelling,

"Hell yeah" I tightened my belt, "ready", Carlos smirked my way, I closed my eyes,"no", I shook my head, he chuckled,

"Adorable" he whispered near my ear, the cars were standing tall in a line, growling like beast, when they challenged each other by stepping the race pedal,

the cars roared like monsters, almost making me jump, I hit him on his arm, he chuckled,

"Alright the first one to reach the gas station wins, who is gonna count", Stan said fully determined,

"I am" Jordan said,

"Alright one" my heart beating fast, dub dub, dub dub,

"Two" dub dub dub,

"Three", teeeeeeeeee joking I am alive,

"Go", I heard the screeching noise of tires, all the car whoosh together, dodging each other, over taking, I heard laughter, snarky comments, hollering, halla backs, swearing,

I opened my eyes slowly, the wind was on fire yes the wind was on fire, everything outside looked like aggressively being ripped from roots,

only our cars and everything blurry, we were in screaming colors, yellow Corvette, Red viper, Black Mustang three sharp colors, I saw their expressions fully determined,

I looked towards Carlos, stared in his eyes through the front mirror, I saw fire, his golden eyes were blazing as if he passed me a look I would burn to nothing,

my hand was tightly gripping my seat belt, this ride was dangerous we were in a middle of nowhere, we were on a highway to hell, this could turn into our last ride,

but I was happy, I was satisfied, for once I didn't care, I wanted to break the rules, I wanted to be rebellious, I wanted to be a part of this trouble,

I wanted to be a part of this badass trouble maker squad, I wanted to be a Troublemaker!!!,

"I am gonna win I have my lucky charm with me" , I stared at him through the mirror, he winked, then he shifted the gears and boom! we left the Mustang, we left the Corvette and we even left the station,

"Yes yes yes" I heard him yell as he hit the brakes, I laughed,

"You won Carlos", suddenly he pulled me closer and kissed me on my lips, I was on fire, his kiss was victory filled, as if he won something else too, he looked me in the eyes and said, "We won Golden", I was so crimson red right now,

I just smiled, he turned his car and headed back to the station, I saw the cars,the gang was outside, we got out, "You won Asshole" Boys said to him, patting his back , he was so proud and showing off,

I shook my head, boys will always be boys, "that was so fun right" Maddy rushed and hugged me,

"Yeah it was fun this was my first time in a race" she was staring at me with owl eyes, "Really?", "yeah", "Hey guys it was Alyssa's first time in a race" they all turned to me, now they were serious,

"Why didn't you tell me?" Carlos asked fixing my hair,

"there was no time you guys just decided during a ride", he messed up his hair, "I am sorry" he said looking me straight in the eyes,

"No no don't be it was amazing really, I loved it",

"Are you sure",

"Yeah but next time give me a heads up first" they laughed, "Sure" they all said in unison, the cars were being fueled up, now we were in the store,

"Grab what you want girls treats on me" Carlos said in confidence,

"Cool" Maddy said grabbing me and pulling me to the snacks isle,  I saw the boys goofing around with a trolley,

they all look so sexy and so bad boyish,dominating and powerful all the time and here they are messing around with a trolley,

Mason was in the trolley,I laughed, Stan was joking and grabbing some stuff with J, Carlos was on the phone and pushing the trolley with one hand,

he looked so admirable,while gazing at him I remembered the kiss we had in the car and suddenly I felt those sparks again, my body was covered in weird sensations, I shook them off,

"look they have your favorite chocolate Alyssa" Maddy said eyeing the isle, I went forward,

"Yes omg I love galaxies",

"who loves Galaxy" we turned around and saw the boys, Mason was still in the cart, I smiled at him,  he is so adorable, "She does" Maddy pointed to me, boys were staring at me now,

"Really here you go then" Carlos handed me the whole freaking box,

"no no that's too much" I said while shaking my hands,

"consider it a gift", "but no I can't" "take it Alyssa or else I am gonna take another box",

"Carlos please", "okay then" he started to pick another one, I grabbed the box "Ok thank you" he smiled,

"Good",

"Share share" Mason asked with puppy dog eyes, with a baby voice, how did he do that, we all laughed at his weirdness,

"Yes sure Mason" I said to him during laughing and placed the box in the cart, I also took a big packet of skittles, they are so fruity,

okay the carts were filled with pyramids of snacks, "I think this is enough we will buy more later" Carlos said while pulling his wallet out, he gave the guy a credit card, they had a credit card machine, cool! here in the middle of nowhere,

I was standing a little further checking the keychain isle, "Hey sexy wanna get out of here and party" I turned around saw a tall guy with a beard,

I moved back, he looked like a freaking Rapist, my voice disappeared, I couldn't speak, he was so freaking large,

"I have a boyfriend" I said to him, my face was towards my squad they were all busy in talking and in checking the stuff,

"I don't mind if you have a boy friend", he smirked maliciously, I could smell Alcohol, I was literally shaking,

I closed my eyes and his hand started to move towards my face, he was gonna touch me,

one two three, his filthy finger touched my hair strand he pushed it away, "Gorgeous" he said huskily, I gulped, he was about to do something when I heard a loud boom,

I opened my eyes and was pulled in a hug, it was J who hugged me, I saw Mason, Stan, Carlos pounding the freak, Maddy was rubbing my back, I felt salt in my mouth, I was crying, I saw Mason pulling Carlos back but he wouldn't budge,

Stan pulled him finally, He stood up and his eyes targeted me, I pulled myself from J, I saw Carlos striding my way, in no time I was in his arms, "I am so sorry Golden,  I am really really sorry" he said to me I was in his embrace,

"Carlos it's alright", he pulled me away from his chest, his eyes were asking for forgiveness, he was so vulnerable right now, I could see fear in them, I was shocked by his reaction, "I am so sorry,", he said to me again, I touched his face,

"Please Carlos stop saying Sorry I am fine", I smiled, he let me go slowly, "We can't even keep an eye on a single girl" Mason said in frustration, Maddy was silently looking down,

"Sorry Alyssa I am the worst best friend ever", she said to me, her head was down,

"Please no stop it guys you are making me feel so weird", I said while hugging her, they all looked so troubled and I was the reason for this, I felt like hell, "I ruined your day" I said finally,

"no you didn't", they all said in unison, "It happens we just have to be a little more careful next time", Stan said with a mild smile,  we all nodded,

"Can we please go back to being happy" I said while rubbing my hand a bit, "of course" they all said smiling,  Mason bear hugged me,

"Papa bear I can't breathe", they were laughing, he let me go, "Now you are better",

"yes you squished the sadness out of me", we laughed at my sarcastic comment, now we were going towards our cars. "Wait a picture", they all came back, Stan again became our selfie stick,
The trip started again, we were in the car,

"Alyssa", "yeah",

"I am still sorry",

"Carlos its not your fault", "But I still Am",

"Argh fine I forgive you happy" "Happy" he smiled, "God this boy is crazy", "Crazy for you" he smirked, Oops I said it out loud, I blushed.
