As Megan and Dakota pull up, they see River putting a bag in her trunk. Dakota smiles as he gets out.

"What's going on, baby?" River smiles as he walks up. He gives her a quick kiss before he turns to his mom.

"You two be careful, okay? Text me when you can." Megan says

"I'm gonna see you soon, Mom. I have to come home to pack." He says as River laughs

"Still text me." She waves him off. She looks at River, "Good luck. He's the worst when it comes to taking trips."

River nods with a smile as Dakota frowns. Megan winks before she starts to drive off, "Love you." She calls out

"Love you, too." He says confusion still written on his face. He turns to River who chuckles as she fixes the bags, "I'm not even that bad on trips."

"Yeah, okay." River says sarcastically. Dakota's frown deepens, "Get the suitcase please." She says as she points to her porch.

Dakota huffs in fake annoyance as he walks around her.

"Conrad..." Jeremiah says

"No. Please don't stop, I'm clearly the one who is interrupting you." He says before he turns back to the school

"Conrad, come on, man." Jeremiah calls out. He sighs as he turns to Liz, "Will you go after him? Please."

"Yeah." She says before she goes after him. She finally catches up to him, "Conrad... Come on. Conrad!"

"Leave it, Liz, I don't want to talk to you right now."

"What? What did I do?" He stays silent, "Please don't shut me out again, okay? The four of us have done that to each other too many times this year, and all it's done is make things worse."

"Okay, if you want to talk, let's talk."

"I'm really sorry you saw that. I mean, I'm sorry I saw that." She chuckles. Her laughter dies down as she realizes he stays quiet, "Why are you so upset about it?"

Liz watches as he debates with himself internally. She can't understand why he's so mad. I mean, of course it's awkward to catch two people making out and then for them to make out on your car, but it's not that big of a deal.

"Do you think he's just doing this to get my attention?"

Liz raises her brows, "Are you serious? You really think they're doing that to get your attention?"

Conrad stays silent as he stares back at her. Liz's breath hitches as she gets that pit in her stomach. The same pit she got when she found out that Belly liked Conrad. He's jealous of them.

Liz scoffs, "Get over yourself, Conrad. What they have is real. It isn't about you."

"Just go!" He yells. Liz chuckles humorlessly, "Since what they have is so real, how about you go find it too, huh? Go find something real. Stop chasing after me and go find someone who wants you. I don't. Not anymore."

Liz's eyes fill with tears as she watches him walk away. She decides to walk back to the car. Jeremiah and Belly sit up as they see Liz walk over with her arms wrapped around herself.

"Is he coming?" Jeremiah asks. Liz shakes her head, "Well, he can't go anywhere without his car, and they have to be moved out of their dorms tonight, so... he'll come back. I'm sure of it."

Liz shrugs as she wipes her eyes.

"What did he say to you, Liz?" Belly frowns. Liz opens the car and gets in the backseat. Belly looks over at Jeremiah who sighs deeply.

______________________________________

An hour later, Belly and Jeremiah were sitting in Conrad's trunk. Both were worried about Liz as she hadn't said a word or moved from her spot in the back seat.

"It's been an hour, Jere. I don't think he's coming." Belly says

"He'll be here eventually. We have his car and his keys."

"Excuse me." Conrad says in a sing-song voice. He puts his box and bags in the back, "So you guys ready to go or not?"

"Didn't know if you were coming." Jeremiah says

"I promised Megan I'd get Liz home." He says as he closes the trunk. After a couple of seconds, Liz hears the back door open. She doesn't look over as she knows it's Conrad.

"Hey, Liz." He says with a smile. The girl sighs as she sits up.

______________________________________

Liz could feel her headache growing with each passing second. The car ride would've been okay if it weren't for Conrad's obnoxious humming. He takes it a step further as he drums on the back of Belly's seat.

He looks over to see Liz reading, "Liz, you're gonna throw up if you keep reading that."

"She's okay." Jeremiah defends

"Well, I don't know if you knew this, but, um," He says as he scoots up, "Liz gets motion sickness when she reads in cars. Did you know that?" He says as he looks between them

"I did..." Belly nods

"Oh, okay."

"Yeah, actually. She threw up on my shoes once." She chuckles softly, "But Liz took Dramamine earlier so that she could quiz you for your test."

"Oh." Conrad says as he looks back at Liz. He smiles, "My sweatshirt looks really good on you, Lizzie."

"You can have it back." She says as she sets her book down, "Got a sweatshirt from Finch earlier."

"Keep it." He waves her off. She sits back as she picks her book back up, "So you guys went to Finch, huh?" He says as he looks between Jeremiah and Belly, "That sounds like a nice little romantic excursion."

"I just took them out to check out the school."

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh." Conrad nods, "I was gonna get you a Stanford one, Liz, 'cause I, you know. But, uh... Finch is fun." He smiles. The girl sighs heavily as she adjusts herself in her seat.

"So tell me, how long has this thing been going on? All week?" He says pointing between Belly and Jeremiah

"No."

"No. Okay. Oh, my God, so that was your first kiss." Conrad gasps, "No, no, no, no. 'Cause, Liz, what did you say to me last summer on the beach? You said Belly told you it was "a few times." "Few" usually means, what, three? Four? How many times was it last summer, guys?"

Jeremiah sighs as they say silent, "Aw, come on." Conrad tries. They still keep quiet, "Hmm. Discretion. I like that. That looks good on you, Jere, 'cause that's a new thing. That's a very new thing."

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess so."

"Yeah. I mean, 'cause normally you can't shut the fuck up about how many people you hook up with. Because last year, I remember, it was seven. And that's not even including Belly." He chuckles

"Shut up!"

"Yeah, don't be a dick." Belly says

"I just have one more question. I'm sorry, guys. Belly, which one of them is a better kisser, Cam or Jere?

"Leave her alone, Conrad." Jeremiah snaps. The thunder rumbles as Conrad whistles.

"The world may never know." He mumbles as he slides back. He looks over at Liz who is engrossed in her book. He blinks before he looks out of the other window.

The rain was coming down pretty hard and they were stuck in traffic. Liz sighed as she rubbed her eyes.

"Fuck, it just added another half hour to our ETA." Jeremiah says

"Oh, my God, seriously?"

"Maybe we should get off and take a back road or something?"

"Back roads will be worse." Conrad calls out, "Once the storm band passes by, the roads will start to clear up. And, plus, I'm having so much fun. I don't know about you guys."

Jeremiah looks in the rear view mirror at Liz, "What are you thinking, Liz?"

"Yeah. What do you want, Lizzie?" Conrad says as her turns to her

"Actually, I'm starving and I have to pee, and I'd rather not drown in this car." Liz deadpans

"I changed my vote. Hangry Liz is a natural disaster that I think" Conrad says as he leans up to Jeremiah, "we might want to avoid."

Jeremiah waves him off, "Okay, great, right. I'll, uh, get off, I guess."

______________________________________

Liz and Belly rushed back to the car from the gas station restroom. They shuddered as they closed the door to wait for Conrad and Jeremiah to come out of the gas station.

"You okay, Liz?" Belly says turning to her

"Yeah. A little rain doesn't hurt." She chuckles

"No, I mean with Conrad. I don't know what happened or what he said, but.."

Liz nods before she answers, "I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." Liz mutters. The doors open as Conrad and Jeremiah jump in. The door closes and Jeremiah sets the bag on the console.

"What'd you get?" Belly says, "Ooh, Sour Patch. My favorite." Jeremiah smiles as he takes out his Swedish Fish. Conrad reaches in and grabs something.

Liz looks down at his hand as he holds out a bag of peanut butter m&m's. She takes it, but doesn't look at him.

"Is everything okay?" Belly asks

"No. Uh, the highway's shutting down. The guy inside told us." Jeremiah says, "Um, he said there was a motel nearby if we wanted to stay there, instead of here."

"Whatever." Conrad shakes his head

"Fine by me." Belly says. Jeremiah backs out and heads to the motel.
