Road Trip

Chapter 3: Just 2 Boys in Starbucks

* Farrah's POV *

I woke up to Esme's arm wacking me in the face. She wasn't the most peaceful sleeper.

I looked at my phone and it was 9:00. I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep in this sunlight so I decided to grab my makeup from the trunk and do that.

The noise from the car door woke Esme up, so she unhappily got her makeup from the trunk also and we both started getting ready for the day.

Once we were finished doing our makeup, I brushed my hair and luckily it was still straight. Esme on the other hand had to put her long messy hair into a side braid.

We couldn't change in the car so since I was already in the drivers seat, I drove around aimlessly to find a place with a bathroom. Luckily there was a Starbucks near by.

I picked my outfit out of the car and brought it into the bathroom. I wore a grey USA top with studded high waisted shorts, a silver chain necklace, and my white high top converse.

"Hurry up!" Esme yelled, banging on the door. She was so impatient.

I grabbed my dirty clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Esme basically plowed right in before I had even opened the door.

I decided to get myself a drink while I waited for Esme to get ready.

"How may I help you!?" a very cheerful girl asked from behind the counter.

"Could I just have a java chip frappachino?" I ordered, not feeling as cheerful as she was.

She gave me my drink and I decided to sit down. God only knows how long Esme is going to take getting dressed.

I took a seat by the window where I saw two boys about my age penny boarding towards the entrance. At last I see my first pair of cute Cali boys.

As they walked in, one of them smiled at me, probably because I was staring, but I smiled back to be polite.

They were both so cute but I couldn't keep my eyes off the one that smiled at me. He had dark brown hair and wore a beanie, grey pants, and a white graphic t-shirt. I watched while he ordered. Wow I'm being so creepy but I don't want to look away!

His smile was so cute when he got his drink and laughed at his friend who was ordering.

The bathroom door opened and Esme came rushing towards me giving me her dirty clothes as she went to go stand in line. She wore a grey beanie with a white tiger shirt, light high waisted shorts, and black vans. We had somewhat of a similar fashion sence.

Just as I was about to take another sip of my drink, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see that cute smiled boy looking down at me.

"Hey..." he said.

"Hi!" I replied probably sounding just as cheerful as the worker now that he was talking to me.

"Are you new here?" he asked.

"No, me and my friend are just visiting for the summer. We drove here from Massachusetts." I said.

He looked at me with shock, "Wow! You drove here all the way from Mass? That's crazy!" he said.

"Yeah, it took like 3 days" I told him, looking past him to see that Esme was now talking to his friend.

"Well I'm Jc" he said.

"I'm Farrah" I replied giving him a handshake.

When I pulled my hand away I noticed he had left a small scrap of a napkin in my hand.

I looked up at him with a confused look but he just smiled at me and turned to his friend who said bye to Esme and led the way to the door. They continued off on their penny boards while taking sips of their Starbucks until they disappeared into the distance.

Esme's hand waved infront of my face waking me up from my stare.

"So what does it say!?" she asked looking at me then down at the napkin.

I had totally forgotten he gave me that. I looked down at the scrap and it read Text me, <3 Jc along with his phone number.

"EEEEEEEEP!" Esme screached. "Text him!" she said hitting me.

"Not yet! I don't want to seem too anxious!" I told her.

"True" Esme said while leading the way out the doors and back to the car.

"I will drive" she said running to the drivers seat.

I sat in the passengers seat once again looking down at the napkin. I couldn't believe he actually gave me his phone number.

Esme started the car and we decided to just drive around until we found something we could do.

Although it may sound like we aren't making good use out of our time in Cali, it's actually really fun to just drive around, listening to music, and looking out the window at the beautiful scenery.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It'd been about an hour that we had been in the car so I decided I would text Jc. I quickly got out my phone and added his number, then I sent the first text.

To: Jc

Hey Jc, it's Farrah!

Nearly 5 minutes later he replied.

From: Jc

Hey Farrah! I was scared you weren't going to text me :(

We continued to talk about ourselves and get to know eachother.

"Ask him what there is to do around here!" Esme suggested.

To: Jc

Is there anything to do here that you might suggest? We are getting sick of just driving around :(

From: Jc

Well I was going to ask you if you and your friend wanted to come to my place for a party tonight.. :)

"Oh my god Esme!" I squealed.

"Holy shit Farrah! What!? You scared me!" Esme yelled.

"We're invited to our first Cali party!!!!" I said.

Just as I expected, Esme let out an excited scream.

"Where? Where? Where?" she asked.

"Um, Jc's place..."

Esme put the address in her GPS and it turns out we were only 25 minutes away. Looks like we were headed in the right direction!

I told Jc that we would be there but he was still out with his friend whos name Es said was Kian, and the party wasn't until 7:00 so we decided to go to the mall.

Esme insisted that she and I get cute new outfits because we needed to look amazing for our first Cali party.

We literally went into every store looking for cute outfits to wear and we found the perfect ones!

We quickly changed and touched up our makeup in the mall's bathroom, not the best place to get ready, but we still managed to look hot!
