12“Wonderland” – Taylor Swift
He left his stereo off when he got in the truck. He didn't know why he was so pissed off about the SAT class. He should have been grateful that someone actually gave a s**t. But it's the wrong someone. It had been seventeen years, but for some reason it still stung that his mom just couldn't be bothered to care about anyone but herself.
His sometimes-boss was giving him money, his girlfriend's mom was concerning herself with his SAT scores, and his mom spent all of his college money. It wasn't just a long shot that he'd get a basketball scholarship; it was a half-court shot at the buzzer. The thought of letting down Vanessa, and even her parents, was making his hands shake. He just couldn't.
He heard the door open but didn't look at his girlfriend just yet.
