Endless Conflict

36 | I Dare You

I leant my head against the cool glass of the car window as I listened to Brent and Sue talk about Kyle's future in the front of the car. Apparently Kyle must be a pro at basketball or something because they've been going on about how he should go to some college that helps him further his career in that. All the boys had something they were good at. Kyle had his basketball, Corey had surfing (ironic seeing when I first saw him I thought he looked like a surfer), Jarred played guitar, Hugo played piano, Sam could paint, Leo was apparently a pro swimmer and Connor could run like the wind. Bailey was also a champion at gymnastics, apparently the Olympic team wanted him but he had to finish school first. So there were a few sporty ones, artsy ones and musical ones. A good mixture if you ask me.

We'd already been travelling for about three hours and I was so bored. I had tried to sleep but had failed but I reckon I could get to sleep now. My eyelids were pretty heavy and I think I was yawning three times per minute. I had kicked my legs up across all the seats in the back since Brent and Sue had taken the front. I didn't mind being alone. I liked my room and having my personal bubble. She was coming with us to Terhune but she said she might not be able to stay the whole entire time became Tom would need help with work.

"So is it alright with you Georgia if you two share a room together?" Sue asks pulling me out of my thoughts as she looks at me through the mirror in the front. It takes me a while to process what she had said but when I do I find my face flushing red.

"Um, wait, ah..." I babble, I didn't expect her to ask that. I had imagined that me and Brent would have two separate rooms. Not that I minded sharing a room with Brent because I didn't, I just didn't expect Sue to trust us, if you get me. It's not that we would do anything, maybe kiss and cuddle but nothing serious.

"Well if you don't mind sharing..." Sue starts after hearing me stutter out my pathetic 'um, wait, ah...'.

"Oh no, it's fine." I say probably a bit to quickly.

Sue looks at me expectantly, "I just didn't expect you to trust us." I tell her honestly. I mean we haven't done anything....um...serious and stuff but she doesn't know that so...well yeah, I just didn't expect her to trust us. I mean we are teens with hormones.

"Well you've slept together before and it's not like you two would do anything stupid." Sue says confirming that she does trust us. "I mean you wouldn't do anything right?" She asks and I stay quite but Brent decides to take this chance to speak up.

"Kiss a few times and other stuff, nothing serious." Brent says causing my face to flush red (well I can't see it but I can feel it). Brent chuckles at my sudden discomfort which earns him a slap on the shoulder from me. I don't know what he means by 'other stuff' but I don't think I'll ask him while Sues sitting right there.

"I'm not even going to ask what other stuff means." Sue says as she laughs away in the front.

Once again my face flushes red (once again I can't see it but feel it) at what she says. That's when sue and Brent both look at me to see me blushing madly. They both laugh at my discomfort so I playfully scowl at them. Yeah guys, sure laugh at me. I have a great boyfriend and boyfriends mum or foster parent. Whatever you wanted to call her.

I then decide that now I might go to sleep so keeping my scowl intact as i lye down across the back seats and get comfortable. Sue and Brent of course are still laughing away at me.

I close my eyes and plan to go to sleep until I hear Brent unbuckling his seat belt (well I'm guessing it's Brent) and some shuffling around. As finally they've both calmed down after there laughing fit. I squint one open curiously to see that Brent is climbing into the back with me. He comes and squeezes in the gap behind me and in between the back of the seats and me as he wraps his arms around me.
