You know how you're not supposed to go grocery shopping when you're hungry? It's the same way if you're high, except, you shouldn't go through a drive through with seven stoned people in the car. Plus two on the phone head in to your house.
"Can- hey! Can you please repeat the order? Damn..." I say into the order speaker thingy.
"Yeah..." The lady sounds confused and amused. Almost annoyed.
"Three large cookie dough blizzards, one banana split, a large Dr.Pepper, one oreo blizzard, two hot fudge Sunday's, large vanilla ice cream-"
"With extra sprinkles!" Dani cuts her off.
"Yes, with extra sprinkles... And a large shake?" She's totally done with stoned Coloradoians!
"Yaaassss betch! That's right!" Korbin yells into the speaker.
"I don't even want to know my total." I say.
"Are you sure?" She sounds confused.
"Yeah, who gives a damn?"
"Okay, you can pull around..." She responds.
I would never work at a fast food restaurant. Let alone in Colorado. I man, the business is good and all, but people are idiots when they're not stoned. Just imagine having orders and people like us all day long. I couldn't do it, I'd probably be in prison. "Golden, Colorado, resident shoots and kills group of stoned teenagers. She worked at McDonald's for too long. She couldn't take all of the drunken or high idiots anymore. She is not being charged with anything, I would have done the same..." I can hear it on the news, the news reporter interviewing the police officer and judge. Now that, is something I would pay to watch.
We pull up to the window and Colt hands me the Visa card I threw at him when we got in the car. I hand it to "Asher". That's what her name tag says. She actually pretty. She has straight black hair and emerald green eyes. Perfect teeth and dimples. She is pretty, I wonder why she's working this shift though. She hands my card back and I shove it in my back, right pocket, behind my phone. Which, by the way, it hurting my ass to sit on.
"You sure you don't wanna know how much it costs?" She asks.
"I'm sure, I don't even want a damn receipt." I say nonchalantly
"Alright... Your ice cream and stuff will be ready in a second." She says handing me Emmy and Matts Dr.Pepper.
I hand my phone to Chloe, who is leaning to the front seat. She plugs in the aux chord and turns on my Spotify. The first song to play is "Do I Wanna Know", by Arctic Monkeys. I can picture my cousin playing the song on his guitar. It sounds amazing, he's great at playing guitar. By the time the song is half way through, Asher starts handing us our munchie foods. I grab it, then hand it to Colt, who hands it to Chloe or Christina to pass out. The song ends and another one begins as were pulling out of the Dairy Queen drive though.
My music stops and the phone rings. I look down and its Emmy on my phone. I swipe to answer it and say hello.
"Hey, you gonna be at Colt's with my ice cream soon?" She says laughing, her voice is loud over the speaker. I didn't unplug the aux chord so everyone can talk to them.
"Yeah, we're down by the gas station, gimme like three minutes and we'll be home! You're staying tonight right?" I say.
"Yep, see you in a few."
"Love you!" We all yell at different times.
I hear Emmy laugh and sigh. "Love you assholes too!" She says before hanging up.
I turn left and two minutes later, we're pulling into Colt's drive. I park in the garage and shut off the van. We get out and I run to Emmy. Collapsing in her arms, I'm dizzy and my head hurts. She hugs me back and we just stand there for a minute. I hear the front door open and close a few times and we finally let go. We lock arms and walk up the porch steps smiling. Chloe holds open the door for me and Emmy. We all walk in together and head into the kitchen, where Christina is waiting for us. The guys are all hanging out in the living room, most of them are either laying on a couch or love seat, or laying back in a Lazy Boy chair.
Chloe, Christina, Emmy and I, sit in the built in breakfast nook. I sit by Emmy and start a conversation about Snoop Dogg. It lasts for a while and then turns into a conversation about Netflix. Colt walks in and takes Chloe upstairs. We all stop and look at each other really confused.
I don't hear any screams or anything to hint that they're fucking. Just some creaking of the floor boards. Like they're walking around. I don't know what's going on, but it's either because they're high, or it's important. It's not very likely to be both, or important. So it's probably because Colt is high, and when Colt is high, he becomes an idiot.
