I sat on the curb outside of Newtons' and yawned, stretching out. Somehow my brother had convinced me to go on a hiking trip with him and his co-worker Jerry, a total nerd that somehow loved the outdoors. Currently, I was waiting for them to get out of the store so we could go and get this trip from hell over with. And if I was lucky, maybe someone would come and give me an alibi not to go.
