Golf cart
The wheels were turning slowly when Em tried to grab on but her foot slipped a little. Flip-flops didn’t have the best grip. The tiers kicked up dirt when Jaye gunned it, she liked to do that. Em flipped her onto her back, there was a second of panic where she dragged on the gravel before letting go. There was only a tiny bit of blood, on her elbow and knee. She looked back, grinning and laughing, as the vehicle careened into the trees. Lydia’s arms flailed in panic. “I thought you died!” she wailed, sincerely crying.

Liv’s dad carried in her bags, a whole train of them, one was just for shoes. The cabin was filled with so many that Brittany looked worried, but in an about-to-laugh kind of way because there was no walking space. The beds creaked loudly every time they rolled over. They laughed when they were walking to the beach at 6am, shivering, with blue lips, in the rain. Still, after a while nobody volunteered to be spinal victims even after promises of McDonalds fries. They laughed every night when they mopped the kitchen floor listening to Mika. And finally, when it got unbearably hot, Taylor had to go eat Mike & Ikes in front of his fan.
