Road trip

First impressions

1413 words

I only know Elton, Cory, and their camera guy or whatever, Michael, so I am excited for this trip, don't get me wrong. But idk Sam or Colby. I have seen them around the house but usually, I hang out with Zane, Scott, Todd, and Heath and their friends, along with mine. Elton sometimes isn't home so when he is home he's usually rarely with friends let alone Sam and Colby. I'm not saying that when I've seen them, that they're rude, they honestly seem like a couple of the nicest people ever, but I'm awkward. I'm bad in front of new people. I mostly try to get them to talk about themselves and make them feel good about themselves. I try to gear the conversation away from myself because- well I hate myself. No way to sugar coat it, no way anyone can make me feel any different. My legs are too big, my hair is dead and gross, my stomach, yes, is small, but it's out of proportion to the rest of my body. My boobs are huge and my arms look like they're guys arms. My acne breaks out at the worst times and whenever I'm alone, oh man my makeup is on fleak! Whenever I leave the house, it looks like my makeup was done by a five year old. Whatever.

I heard my phone buzz on my dresser. "Text message from Elton"

I open my phone to reveal the message that reads, "be there in an hour. Be ready:)"

Well. Fuck. Im not even done my makeup and I still have to get dressed. I'm only half packed, I knew that something about today would piss me off. I'm tired because I was at what was supposed to be a small get together which turned into a huge party last night. Ugh. Whatever.

I finish off my eyebrows and do something simple on my eyes. I don't have time to get into detail. I do my face makeup and skip my lips. There's not enough time to do them. I walked to my laundry basket and grabbed out black yoga leggings from pink and a grey husky athletics sweater. While in the process, I discover the stinkyness of my armpits. I run over to my bathroom where my deodorant is, which I put on after washing my armpits. Since I'm in the bathroom I grab all of my body products, that's the only thing I haven't packed. There's a lot of products since I hate feeling gross and dirty. I lay my clothing on my bed and strip down to my lace bra and panties. I grab my two favourite bottles of perfume and spray down my clothes before putting them on. I hear my door bell ring so I run and I quickly zip up my suit case and grab my makeup bag. I put my phone and charger into my lulu Lemon travel bag and put up phone, charger, and headphones into it. This'll be the only bag I have with me, the rest of my things will be in the back of the van until tonight. I put on my beanie and ran downstairs and opened my door, it was Elton.

"You ready?" He said with a smile

"No. But Let's go" we laughed, he took my suit case. And we went down to his van. While putting my things in the trunk he looks at me and he says,
"So there's a seat by the window where you'd be beside me, or you can sit in the passenger seat where you will be beside Colby or y-"

"Shot gun" I cut him off. Shotgun is the best spot. It's a single seat. the rest which are the seats behind driver and shotgun, are connected to two other seats. In shotgun, There is a space between me and another person where I can put my things without there being a risk of someone wanting to sit where my things are because it isn't a seat. Makes sense obviously.

"Okay" Elton says after a chuckle "were also stopping at Starbucks and subway"

"Fuck yeah" I replied closing the trunk. I walked past Elton and gave him a light smack on the back doing so. I approached the passenger seat remembering that I have to socially interact with a being whom I don't know causing me to sigh while I open the door.

Everyone heard my sigh and saw how beaten and tired I looked.

"Rough night Y/N?" Cory jokingly asked

"Fun night. Rough morning" I replied. Elton and Sam laughed.

Directly in the seat behind me was Sam. He had the spot that I turned down. I turned around to look at him and stuck out my hand.

"Hi, I'm Y/N, I'm one of the people always hanging out at Elton's but doesn't live there." He chuckled and shook my hand

"Hi im Sam" while Sam was shaking my hand Colby began to speak

"Hi I'm Colby, the one who drives the car but doesn't pay for it." He then also gestured his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Colby." I said grabbing his hand and shaking it. He was holding my hand firmly for the short amount of time that he was shaking my hang. Gave me tingles. He turned back to face forward putting the van in drive.
"So Starbucks?" He asked.
"And then subway" Elton said. Colby nodded his head. I know this is weird but, I find it attractive when a boy is driving a car. Especially if it's a cute boy. Like this one. I never really closely looked at colby before, I've just kind of seen him walking past whenever I happened to look up from my phone while at Elton's. I had to look away from staring at him now. Even tho I was looking at him for roughly only one second, anything longer could be considered "y/n looking at Colby" instead of what I wanted him to think, which was, "y/n looking around the van". But what I did catch of his appearance wasn't disappointing. The way his eyes are perfectly lined, the was his jawline looked like it could slit my throat. I couldn't help but look back at him.

Nice.

I look away after two second and go on my phone answering my snap chats from while I was asleep. I didn't have enough time to check them this morning before I left. I looked up from my phone and looked out the window while my phone screen was revealing how many snaps I had. I wanted Colby to see so he'd think I'm popular. Don't blame me k? Good first impression on a cute boy. He definitely saw, my mission was a success. My train of selfish impressions was interrupted by

"Hello, welcome to Starbucks, Shelby speaking, how are you today?"

Colby leaned out the window with his hand on the steering wheel. That was hot.

"I'm good and yourself?" Colby asked

"Good, what Can I do for you today?"

"can I get a Venti caramel macchiato? Aaaaannnd aaa- one sec, -

Cory what do u want?"

Colby asked. Well Fuck. I have such a long order he's gunna be pissed when I ask for mine

"Venti 4 pump, mocha frap, double espresso, extra whip, cinnamon sprinkle, no drizzle"

Never mind.

"Just yell it out your window" Colby said laughing. Cory unrolled his window and yelled

""Venti 4 pump, mocha frap, double espresso, extra whip, cinnamon sprinkle, no drizzle please"

"Okay, no drizzle, for sure, anything else?" Shelby, the drive through worker asked. Elton, Michael and Sam yelled their orders as well. Then I yelled mine.

"Okay is that everything?" Shelby asked. Colby said yes.
"Okay, $34.5 at the window please" we all handed Colby out money.

"Subway next?" Colby asked but everyone would rather get going and just get food next time we stop. So we just left for the first journey. Our first stop was after 4 hours of driving so I had a while. I plugged my phone into the car and listened to music.
