the next few days me and ashtray barely argued , i don't know what's going on but it's making my head hurt. i'm so used to us arguing 24/7 that now , it doesn't feel normal that we aren't.
"i'm hungry." i thought out loud , sitting next to ashtray , faye and fezco on the couch.
"me too." faye agreed , making ashtray roll his eyes.
"ash can take you to go get something." fezco spoke , making me whip my head to him.
"like drive.. me?" i hated when ashtray would drive , he's so reckless. especially when fezco isnt in the car.
"malani , cmon." ashtray shook his head , standing up and grabbing the keys.
i waited a second to see if fezco or maybe ben faye would stand up , but neither of them did.
"now or never." i heard ashtray mumble behind me , making me stand up and grown.
"if he crashes , that's on you fez." i warned him , only making him laugh in return.
"imma crash on purpose." ash told me , getting in the driver seat as i got in the passenger seat.
i didn't give him any type of reply , putting on my seatbelt and mentally preparing for this.
as soon as he pulled off , out of instinct i grabbed his arm.
"malani , you can't do that." he said , almost swerving because of how fast i gripped his arm.
"sorry." i laughed , letting go of his arm.
this reminded me of a couple days ago , when cal came to the store. that was the first time i had noticed me and ashtray having littler arguments , and now we barely have them at all.
i don't think he's noticed though , he hasn't said anything.
"what do you want?" he asked , looking over at me for a quick second.
"mcdonald's." i pointed to the pick "M" sign.
he just nodded , pulling into the building.
"what do you want?" he asked me again , this time in the drive thru.
"chicken nuggets happy meal.. with apple slices." i answered , making him squint his eyes.
"you're fourteen. a happy meal?"
i rolled my eyes , "yes , ashtray."
he shook his head , turning to order.
once we had our food and everything , ashtray made his way back home , letting the only sound in the car be the radio.
it felt almost awkward sitting in the car , just us two. and yeah me and ashtray might argue a lot , but it's never awkward.
"where was you all night , at the new years party?" i decided to start a conversation.
