Makes Sense to a Teenager

The clock radio reads 10:22 as Jake turns on to Summerset Drive. Rachel lives on the sixth house on the right.

Jake inserts a homemade CD into the player, turns up the volume, and rolls down the power windows. Despite the fact the sun has long ago set, he dons his sunglasses. He slowly creeps along the suburban street, car blasting a song of teenage rebellion and immature love. If this wouldn’t impress Rachel, then nothing would.

In his mind she runs out of the house and professes her hidden affection for him. In reality an angry neighbor curses him out.
