Laying there, I listened to the ducks splashing at the edge of the lake. When I woke up the sun was no longer overhead but setting. I drowsily looked at my watch. Great, there was only a half an hour until the concert; why did I fall asleep? If I was going to get there on time, I was going to need a ride. I picked up my phone and called Mark because he was the only one with a truck for my bike.

"Hey Megan?" said a soft tenor voice.

"Hi Mark. I hate to ask, but I need a ride."

"Sure, when and where?"

"Well actually... I'm at Utah Lake. I fell asleep and Melissa's concert starts in about 30 minutes."

"Are you there at the park?"

"Yes."

"I'm on my way," he hung up.

I stretched then groaned, I had been sleeping for about three hours and that pleasant sun had burned my neck and the back of my legs. Well, I'd had worse. I stood and dusted off the grass that was stuck to my shirt and shorts. Unfortunately, dusting off didn't take care of the wrinkles. At least, I was wearing something without stains; still, it was a little casual for the concert. I checked my watch again; changing wasn't going to happen.

My phone rang and I checked to make sure it wasn't my mom. I didn't really want to talk to her now. "Hello?"

"Hey, it's just me. I'm almost there."

"Oh, Hi Mark. Thank you so much for doing this. I hope I'm not interrupting any plans?"

"No, I was just waiting at home for a call from my sister but I can wait for that anywhere."

"Good, then do you want to go to Melissa's concert with me? It's her first and she's a little nervous."

"I'm not really dressed for it."
