F1 groupchat- PURE CHAOS

26. Arrival

Alice's POV:

When, after a couple of hours and way too much sugar to be good for the human body, we finally arrive, it's already snowing. You might think: A tiny amount of snowfall never hurt anyone! She's just being dramatic when she says that it's ' snowing'. Well, you are fucking wrong. It was snowing so hard that, except for the driveway, everything was covered in around 1.5 meters of snow. And I am not sad about it, it's the opposite actually! I have a Danish dad and a German father, the cold never bothered me anyway. Wow, what a beautiful quote from Frozen. Anyway, as soon as I enter the most gigantic house I have ever seen in my entire life, me and Franco are hit with a wave of warmth from the fireplace. Speaking of Franco, I do not think he's as excited about the cold weather as I am, since he grew up in a place where snow was and still is rare.

Nonetheless, I think we are all going to enjoy it here. ¨Alice!¨ I hear Seb running towards me. ¨Opa!¨ Seb takes me into a bear hug. After a long cough and my dad's greeting everyone, I hear an awkward cough escaping Franco's mouth. I loosen myself from the hug and turn to Franco. ¨Sorry.¨ He smiles. ¨ It's okay, I love your relationship with your, uhm-, grandpa?¨ I nod, as to confirm his words. ¨Hey Seb, where are our rooms?¨My dad asks. ¨Oh, 2nd floor and bedroom number 3 is for you and Kevin, number 2 for Alice, and room number 4 is for Franco.¨ Sebastian ruffles Franco's hair, which makes his cheeks flush. 

When I walk up the stairs to my room, I am met with the staring eyes of Jack Doohan, but I think those staring eyes might have been for someone else behind me, so I quickly flee to my room to not have to see Jack eye-fucking Franco.

It has not even been a couple of minutes in the room when, while I am unpacking my stuff, I hear noise coming from the rooms opposite to me. No, not those noises you dirty-minded people, noises of laughter. But not any laughter, the laughter of girls? I did not expect any other girls in this house other than Esmee, but I am not complaining at all if they are sweet, or at least, nicer than Esmee is.

I go to the door and knock on it, which is something I rarely voluntarily do. The laughter immediately stops, so I feel extremely bad that I've interrupted 'their' moment together. But after just a couple of seconds, I am met with the eyes of 2 girls staring at me, which makes me extremely uncomfortable. I see one of the 2 blondes blink, but the other... doesn't. That freaks me out. I cough. ¨I'm sorry, I didn't want- I didn't mean.¨ But the blond taller girl grabs my arm and pulls me into the room, while the other one closes the door.

¨Hi¨ I awkwardly say. They look at me, but then break out into the biggest smiles I have ever seen in my entire life. ¨Hello, I'm Aurelia, Fernando's and Mark's daughter, nice to meet you!¨ Okay, so that clears up one of- ¨And I am Maya Weug, daughter of Chares and Max!¨ And that clears up my other question. They both look at me like I need to say something now. Shit, they obviously don't know who I am. ¨Uhm- Hello, I am Alice Hulkenberg, and I am the daughter of Kevin and Nico Hulkenberg.¨ Omg, that was so fucking awkward, I want to die.

¨Nice to meet you, want to be friends?¨ Aurelia says, likely the more extroverted of the two. ¨Sure, I'm warning you tho, I am not very keen on hugging, and I am bad at showing emotions apart from embarrassment.¨ I half expect them to just kick me out of the room after hearing this, but surprisingly, they don't. ¨ That's okay, I don't really like hugging people either, except maybe my dads or Aurelia, she's my best friend.¨ Maya shrugs, but I see Aurelia's cheeks get redder for just a split second.

¨So, you are Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg's daughter?¨ Aurelia asks. ¨I am, yes, why?¨ Aurelia chuckles, even tho I said nothing funny. ¨They just seem like the most unproblematic duo on the grid.¨ ¨Could be, that they are just not bothered a lot by people.¨ She nods, even though her dads were 2 of the kings of drama in their time. ¨Aurelia, Alice, let's go outside and make a big snowman in the backyard!¨ ¨Good idea!¨ Aurelia almost immediately says. Simp. ¨Sure, sounds fun.¨ We all waddle downstairs in our coats and with either earmuffs on or some headband that covers our ears.

When we are outside, we spot Dennis and Arthur having a snowball fight, so we decide to make our snowman elsewhere, to not interrupt the 2 lovebirds. Aurelia and I are rolling the biggest part, while Maya is making the middle part. While Maya goes inside to get buttons and a carrot for the nose, I turn to Aurelia. ¨So, you like Maya huh?¨ I wiggle my eyebrows. She gets as red as a tomato and stutters something that sounds like: ¨Me? Maya- Ha- I mean- We are friends- Best?¨ Which is the most unlogical sentence I have ever heard in my entire life.

¨ It's okay, I like girls too.¨ Her eyes widen, and she turns to hug me. I was shocked at first,  but eventually also put my arms around her awkwardly. ¨Hey, it's okay, everyone here is in love with a driver or a driver's kid somehow. I pat her on the back while she sobs into my shoulder, and I see Maya coming out of the house with a carrot in her hand and her pocket full of buttons. As soon as she sees that Aurelia is crying she comes running over to us. ¨Hey, what happened?¨ Aurelia wants to say something, but I speak first. ¨She tripped and landed on a stone.¨ I see jealousy glitter in Maya's eyes for just a millisecond. Aurelia quickly got out of my grip and gave Maya a short, but sweet hug.

Wow, I guess I have friends now, that's a first.
