Before reading q Make a list of things you find exciting! q Do you think some people need excitement more than others?

q Is it more exciting to do things you are not allowed or supposed to do?

Twocking Joey is 15 and lives in Manchester. He often hangs out with Emma, a girl who is hooked on excitement. But Joey knows that if he wants to be with Emma he has to join in with whatever she is up to. Even if it means stealing cars and going joy-riding.

hang out slang hålla till be hooked on vara tokig i be up to ha för sig joy-riding buskörning

“Where we going, Emma?” I called out after her as she left the park on the evening she showed me the keys.

“I told you – twocking.”

“OK,” I said, “I give up. Tell me. What’s twocking?”

She turned to me in the fading light and grinned. “You’ll see.”

We left the park and walked through our estate. It was about nine o’clock and quiet – the sort of quiet you get on Monday night that feels like the end of the world. We hurried along the street.

You could look through all the lighted windows and see the families inside, watching crap telly.

I felt excited, even though I didn’t really know what we were doing. I thought of my dad on the sofa with Helen, watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire? I was glad I was out here with Emma.

She ran across the road and stopped by a parked car, looking up and down the street to make sure no-one was watching her.

Then she pulled the keys from her pocket and, as quick as you like, opened the door and slipped into the driver’s seat.

I could only stare, open-mouthed.

“Don’t just stand there!” she hissed. “Get in!”

“But, but …” I began, climbing into the passenger seat.

My thoughts were in a whirl. I didn’t even know Emma could drive. I mean, she was only 15.

I watched in amazement as she started the car. The engine

spluttered and sprang into life. She did things with the foot pedals and the engine revved.

She grinned across at me. “Where do you want to go to, Joey?”

“Emma? How’d you learn to drive?”

“My brother taught me.”

The car lunged forward and then stopped with a jolt.

“Ooops,” Emma laughed. “I’ll try again.”

This time the car moved smoothly forward. Emma glanced into the rear-view mirror and we pulled away from the kerb and drove down the street.

My heart was hammering.

“Whose car is it?” I asked.

“My brother’s. He’s in Majorca for a week. I nicked his car keys from the drawer when me and Mum were round feeding the fish yesterday.”

I stared at her. “If the police catch us …” I said. Fear gripped me.

“The police have got better things to do than nick a couple of joy-riders. They’re out catching real criminals.”

Emma put her foot down and we sped out of Bradford. I watched the houses flash by. We were moving faster than my dad ever drove.

I groped around for my seat-belt and quickly fastened it.

“Let’s go up on the moors,” Emma said. “You should see the view from up there. We’ll get some Diamond Ice, enjoy ourselves.”

I looked across at her. “Stealing a car, drink driving …”

She took no notice and pointed to the ashtray. “There’s a couple of quid in there. Hop out at the off-licence and get some cider.”

We passed through a small village on the way to the moors and Emma stopped at the first off y she saw.

I look much older than 15, and I had no problem buying a two litre bottle of Strongbow.

Emma complained when I got back. “Thought I said Diamond Ice, dummy.”

“Only had this,” I lied.

“It’ll do, I suppose.”

We set off again, and ten minutes later we pulled off the road into a lay-by and stared out at the city lights spread out below us.

Emma turned the radio on and we passed the bottle of cider back and forth. My heart had stopped hammering.

“How many times you done this then?” I asked.

“He only went on holiday yesterday,” she said. “This is the first.”

I remembered something. “So this is twocking?”

She grinned. “That’s what the police call it. T-W-O-C-K-I-N-G. Taking – Without – Owner’s – Consent. Twocking.”

“What does the K stand for?” I asked her.

She punched me in the ribs, but playfully. “No idea,” she said.

We stayed there for an hour, talking. I was still a bit nervous in case the police found us, but I think the cider helped to calm me.

At ten, Emma started the engine. “Better be getting back.”

My head was spinning with the drink. “Sure you can drive?”

She giggled. “Just watch me!”

She shot off down the lane, the car weaving this way and that. I gripped the seat, laughing through my fear. I expected to see the headlights of an oncoming car at any second.

Somehow we made it back into Bradford without crashing into anything. We were in luck – not a police car in sight.

She pulled up outside her brother’s house and cut the engine.

We sat in the ticking silence, staring at each other in the light of the street lamps.

“Fancy doing it again tomorrow, after school?” she asked.

Perhaps it was the alcohol in me that made me nod my head and say yes.

Perhaps, if I’d said no, things might have turned out differently.

2. Would you go ‘twocking’ if a friend asked you to come along with them? Why / why not?

3. Emma and Joey are definitely ‘crossing a boundary’ here because they are breaking the law.

Writing Choose one of the following writing tasks. Write a maximum of 300 words.

1. Last weekend your girlfriend or boyfriend borrowed a car without the owner’s consent and you went on a joy-ride with her/him. Write an e-mail to your closest friend and tell him/her what happened. Where did you go? Did anything go wrong? Were you scared? Did you get caught by the police? Did your parents find out?

For an example of an e-mail see page 164.

2. Yesterday you got a bit carried away and happened to borrow your sister’s car keys. For some reason you could not resist taking a friend for a ride in the car.

For an example of an informal letter see page 167.
