**ACT I**
During the summer before our junior year, my girlfriend, Masie, obtained permission from her parents for the two of us, her twin brother, Derek, and some other friends to stay at her parents lake house for a weekend, unsupervised. We were all excited to have a weekend of swimming, hiking, and the place even had a jacuzzi. All our parents extracted promises that there be no alcohol or drugs and we all agreed, we weren’t that kind of people anyway.
About a week before we were due to leave, Masie called me, very upset. Her dad had decided to accompany us. I was a little disappointed, but figured it was something we could deal with. Apparently, I was wrong, there was even more drama to the situation. Some of our friends had cancelled, leaving just me, Masie, and Derek as the only confirmed yeses. Derek, not wanting to be a third wheel, had invited another girl last minute. When their father found out, and realized his kids would be alone with romantic partners, he lost it and said he would only let us go if he came with us, to prevent any shenanigans. I sighed and accepted the condition. It’s not like I expected anything to happen anyway. Masie, on the other hand, was fuming at both her brother and father for ruining the weekend.
