"okay. look...move out of my way," emma said climbing over the seats and settling into the drivers seat. "im driving since im the only one who knows how to get to the lodge."

"yes but em...we want to get there alive," amanda said fastening her seatbelt in the passenger side.

emma gave her a look and slipped on her sunglasses. "come on! whats taking you guys so long?!" she yelled to her friends loading the back of the jeep.

"its faye's fault!" annabella yelled back.

faye sighed and got in the car,"i dont even want to go on this stupid trip so dont blame me."

amanda rolled her eyes,"you would rather sit home and mope over whats his face?"

"noah. and yes."

"the whole point of this trip is to get AWAY from ex boyfriends,"emma said as robin and annabella got in the jeep. "are we ready?" both girls nodded and emma headed off to the ski lodge.

brian looked at ajs overstuffed duffel bag then at aj,"where are you putting that?"

"in the car."

brian shook his head,"not my car."

"or mine," kevin said as he took nicks bags from him.

"then what am i supposed to do with it? its got all my clothes in it."

"aj, were only going for a week. you dont need that much stuff,"howie said trying to reason with his best friend.

aj sighed,"i know but i need everything i packed in there. you know...just in case stuff..."

"just in case of what? we get trapped in an avalanche, you have a spare change of clothes?"

aj shot nick a look and nick smiled sweetly. kevin rolled his eyes,"fine. we'll take the stupid bag but i dont want to hear you complaining about it being too heavy."

"i wont," aj said handing kevin the duffel.

brian got into his car and unlocked the other door for nick,"is this really a good idea?"

nick got in and nodded,"i want to be as far away from mandy as possible."

kevin got into his car with aj and howie,"you guys ready?"

brian nodded and headed off to the lodge with kevin following.
