Hannah had taken the shot gun seat of Julian's Audi R8 Spyder since she was the oldest of the two girls. The windows and top were down.  She was invested in the conversation she was having with Lacey and Alyssa. Julian had some music on in the background, but Hannah was barely paying attention.

"So you both knew Max?"

"Mhm," Hannah mumbled.

"Yeah, when Christian was on the team. Max was nice."

"You ever date one of his teammates before Gio?" Julian chuckled, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter.

"Pft. He would've never let me."

"She had crushes though," Hannah smirked, "a lot of crushes."

"Shut up," Stella smacked her shoulder.

"So I'm guessing you always liked Gio then?" Julian asked.

"Very much so." Hannah said again with a smirk, then went straight back to texting.

"We dated other people before obviously."

"Yeah. I never really liked Chloe."

"Do you like me?"

"You're okay I guess."

"Just okay?"

"I'm kidding. You're great, Stella."

"But why is Chloe coming with us today? I mean, why did Gio invite her?"

Hannah peeked at him with a frown, "ask your stupid teammate."

"She practically invited herself. I think he felt obligated."

"No is a sentence. It would've been just as easy to say no than to say yes." Julian disagreed.

"Do you have any crazy exes, Brandt?" Hannah looked over at the blonde.

Julian shrugged, glancing over at her with a smile, "depends on the definition of crazy."

"Oh hm, let me think," Hannah sarcastically remarked, "a girl who might think she's the shit, acts like she's the best actress in the world, kisses other girl's boyfriends, cheats on her own boyfriend with an older man, texts now ex-boyfriend to rant about her problems, oh- and is a sneaky ass snake?"

"Yeah I don't think I have any crazy ex-girlfriends then. Just normal ones."

"Hm. Good for you," Hannah couldn't help but look over her shoulder at Stella and wink.

"We should be there soon." Julian turned onto a one way road.

"Is your brother at Max's place already?" Hannah asked.

"Yup. Jascha texted me earlier and said he was there. He brought my other brother too, Jannis."

"Oh, the photographer?" Stella perked up, "I love his work."

"Really?" Julian glanced over his shoulder for a moment before turning back to the road, "he'll love talking to you then. Just don't make his head any bigger."

"I'll try."

"Stella used to mess around with cameras a lot." Hannah added, "we all thought she was going to pursue it, but she picked up writing and went with that."

"They're somewhat the same when you think about it. With writing, you have more time and creative ways to tell a story, but photography is the same way—finding a story and capturing it."
