I got into the back seat of the camper van and prayed no one would sit next to me. Last car ride was to many screams and PDA. Not really a fan. Of course Marcus was the first one to drive. I put in my earbuds and tried to block them out. Then Zoe looked back and pulled out my headphones.
"Joe at least try to have a good time. I brought you along because I wanted to try last holiday again. Please, please, please socialize and hang out with us. My friends like you to Joesph." I just nodded at her even though I wasn't going to socialize. That's the opposite of who I was.
"Joe, you drive. You look bored." Marcus sighed, pulling into a gas station. I knew when I got in that drivers seat they weren't letting me out. I got out of the back and sat in the front. I looked at Caspar in the passengers seat and sighed. I began to drive as I heard them singing along to the radio. Caspar was fast asleep at this point and I knew exactly what his friends were going to do.
"Lets draw on Caspar's face!" Jim exclaimed as the thought went through my mind. As everyone else agreed I just kept my eyes on the road. Only 10 more hours to go. Its not that long. Who am I kidding. I looked over to see Alfie drawing on Caspar. I ignored him as Tanya drew on his face next, then Marcus, Then Jim, Zoe came up and she looked at me.
"Guys, I can't do it." Zoe mumbled, looking me right in the eyes.
"Each of us took half a hour to perfect our drawings at least do something." Jim said, rolling his eyes in the backseat. I knew that Zoe was going to do what he said. Thats who she is. Zoe started drawing on Caspar's face and then she threw the pen in my lap.
"I'm not going to take the blame for something you guys did!" I exclaimed, picking up the pen and throwing it over my shoulder at Alfie. Of course just as he threw it back, Caspar opened up his eyes and looked at me sadly.
"Joe.." Caspar yawned, dragging out my name. I kept my eyes on the road as I felt everyone's stare on me.
"I'm sorry." I practically whispered, to the blonde beside me, "I don't want to drive anymore." I pulled over as Zoe got in the passengers and Alfie started driving. This forced me to sit next to Caspar. I heard him mumbling about how he was going to do the same to me once I fell asleep. I just looked at the window sadly, wishing I was at my apartment playing Xbox with Oli.
My phone began to ring and everyone gave me a death look because Tanya had fallen asleep with her head on Jim's shoulder. Alfie pulled into a gas station and I got out of the car.
"Hey Oli." I sighed, leaning against the machine.
"How much longer are you going to be driving?" I thought about it for a minute, having to go over what I knew twice.
"About 7 more hours. Its been horrible Oli. I hate it. Zoe told me to socialize and then blamed me for them drawing on Caspar's face. I wish we were playing Fifa." I complained, running a hand through my hair.
"Same Joe. Call me when you get there okay? I've got to go James is yelling for me. Talk later, bye!" Oli rushed, hanging up before I could respond. I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket. At least that talk gave me a chance to actually breathe. I got back in the car and sat next to Caspar again. Alfie started the camper van up again and began driving as Caspar shot me a disgusted look.
"Was your boyfriend calling?" Jim asked, flicking the back of my head.
"Oli is not my boyfriend. He's just my friend!" I answered his question honestly. I heard Jim chuckle and I knew he didn't believe me. I closed my eyes for a few minutes and then reached in my bag.
"Here Caspar." I mumbled, handing him the sharpie I'd just gotten.
"What am I supposed to do with it?" he asked, handing it back.
"I'm taking a nap. I overheard you saying you wanted revenge so, here's your writing to. Its not easy to wash off like the pen they used on your face so I figured it'd be the perfect thing for your revenge. Be creative okay?"
I saw the look of shock of his face as I closed my eyes. I heard him take the lid of and complain about the smell as I let myself fall asleep and not worry about the stuff he put on my face. He's Caspar I already know what to expect.
