To Infiniti & Beyond

Chapter Four

Gapplebees is going out again tonight. Tristian just called to ask if I could pick up Darcy since he'll already be close to our meet up location.

I agree, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Brynn has already arranged to be picked up by Jaxon so I don't have to worry about that tonight.

Darcy doesn't really talk much to Brynn and I, so I'm hoping this will give me a chance to get to know her.

I text her that I've arrived and she comes out less than five minutes later. She thanks me as she gets into the car. I ask her what music she likes and she says that whatever I have on at the moment is fine.

The first couple of minutes is awkward, but then a modded car flys by us and we both comment on it.

We get to talking about cars, Tristian, and tonight's plans. Before I know it, we arrive at the meetup location.

I park and shut off my car. Darcy and I get out to join the group. To my surprise after she spends a few minutes with Tristian, she comes back over to hang out with Brynn and I.

I brought my camera tonight, so the plan is to cruise to the nearby college and take pictures in the parking lot.

Once we arrive Tristian helps me get everyone's attention. I map out where each car will go. Jake directs Dean, Tristian, Grayson, Jaxon and I to be in a "v" formation.

We all get out, Tristian and Grayson nitpick the spacing until they deem it picture worthy.

Grayson takes some birds-eye videos with his 360 cam. Tristian climbs a pole to take pictures with his phone. I crouch down to get some pictures from a lower angle.

It's late February, so by the time we're all satisfied with our pictures and videos everyone is freezing. I set up my phone to take a video of us filing out of the formation.

The group split and I am taking Brynn home now. I tell her about how Darcy and I's drive to meet the group was, "so yeah, I think it would be great for the three of us to start hanging out!"

"I don't know her like I used to but just be careful." Brynn comments.

"Why?"

"Something has always felt odd about her to me. Maybe she's changed, I don't know."

"She seems nice, let's just see how it goes."

Brynn agrees to that statement and we switch topics again.

Two hours later post picture location and I'm finally back home in my warm bed. I go through my phone as the pictures from my camera are converting to my laptop so I can edit and export them to the group.

The video I took of us filing out of the formation looks better than I expected it to. As I go through the pictures on my computer, I am pleased with how they came out as well.
