This is a real story.

This is a true story that happened to my friends and I Saturday.

      Saturday, as I have already told you, my friends and I went to see an amateur preformance of Chicago. The show is in a town about 45 miles away and we have to be there an hour before the show starts because we didn't order tickets in time and have to get sit in folding chairs in the back. But it's okay, it's a little theatre and the folding chairs are actually taller than the regular seats.
     We left on time, which is basically a miracle, and everything is going great when my friend says, "I think my car is slowing down." Soon after this she decides that maybe her shoe fell off it possibly or something like that.
      A little while later the car is definitely slowing down so she pulls over. Then it starts smoking, and since none of us are boys we don't know what to do. (Not trying to be sexist it's just that none of us are car savvy.) This may also be a good time to mention that we had noticed water on the windshield and that the air conditioner took 15 minutes to blow out cold air...but we're no good with subtly hints.
      We all get out of the car and back away in case it blows up. So there we are, standing on the highway with our cell phones pressed to our ears so that our parents know what is going on. One set of parents are on their way, mine are informed, and one is giving us advice on what to do. But we don't really know where the radiator is or how to open the hood for that matter (we eventually get the hood opened) so we can't do much.
      While standing on the side of the highway a car pulls up. Out comes a young Mexican man who asks if we need a ride. He was kinda creepy looking and we had all read enough rape/murder stories to know not to go with him. So we tell him that my friend's mom is on her way and he leaves. It was a nice gesture....just creepy.
      Finally after a whole 20 minutes a ride comes, we take their car, and go on to Chicago. We get tickets and see the show and everything is amazing. And so that is my story.
