Kevin's face broke into a smile when the other agreed to the carpooling idea. "Well, college starts at eight thirty, so I usually leave at eight," he said. "I still reach college early, so if you want to leave later, it's fine. I could drop you earlier too, if necessary. The only thing is that we can't leave any later than eight fifteen, or I'll get too late for college."

He knew he wouldn't mind going to college early, even if it was by half an hour. He just had to make sure he wouldn't get late.
