"...by... your.. electric loveee!" we sang along to our favorite song at a red light. "the line up is gonna be sick! guess who's gonna be-" lola was cut off. "what the fuck?" val said confused. "what? what is it?" she tugged at my sleeve. "look!" i looked out the passenger window to see 3 guys, our age, sitting on top of a broken down honda.

"should we pull over?" i asked valerie and lola, unsurely. "yeah, pull over by that truck. their car might be dead. you have your jumper cables right evie? valerie tried to get my attention. "earth to evelyn!" she waved her hand in my face. "uh, yeah, yeah they're in my trunk," i said, not taking my eyes off the boy on the car.

i put my car in park; me, val and lola all hopped out and started walking towards the boys. we heard distant arguing and looked at each other. they immediately stopped talking when they seen us. "um, do you guys need help?" i asked nervously. "is your car dead or..?" lola trailed off. "well it wouldn't be if this dumbass didn't fuck with the gears," one of the boys said, punching the one i had my eyes set on in the shoulder. "good going ethan." the obviously irritated boy had the hood up from his sweater, but the locks of hair peeking out were jet black. he had a nice complexion with a jawline that could slice diamonds. "you're really putting the blame on me? i told you we should've taken the bentley," he said, rubbing his shoulder. "what the fuck does that have to do with-" he stared to say when the third boy chimed in, "look none of that even matters anymore alright? we're not going to rolling loud anymore so let's just call a tow truck and-" val cut him off. "wait, did you say rolling loud?"

we all looked at each other. val gave me that look she does when she has an idea. "yeah, why?" all three of the boys asked in harmony. lola looked at the boy sitting on the trunk. i could tell his forrest green eyes had casted a spell on her because she pushed her hair behind her ear and had the goofiest smile on her face, introducing two dimples on either side of her cheeks. that's what she does whenever she sees a cute boy, but she swears she doesn't notice it.
"we were just on our way there.." she said, trying to hold back her smile. he started to say something back but i wasn't listening. all i could focus on was the boy with the long curls and big blue orbs sitting in front of me.

"right evie?" val asked. i snapped out of my hypnosis and stuttered, "what?" she put her hand on her hip. "i said it's alright if they ride with us, right?" i felt stupid for getting butterflies from the thought of going to rolling loud with this boy i didn't even know, but i replied, "yeah, of course," trying to hold back my excitement.

i watched the three boys faces light up as they hopped off the car. "sweet! which car is yours?" said the boy i couldn't take my eyes off of. i hoped he didn't see me blush. i pointed to the black 2-door car. "'no way, is that an audi r8?" he asked, obviously impressed. "yeah," i let out a nervous laugh, "you know your cars." he looked down at the ground. "i guess so," he said, followed by a small smile.

i looked behind me to see val and lola both linking arms with each of the boys. i rolled my eyes and val laughed, flipping me off. i took out my phone and texted our group chat of 3.

to: val pal💜, lola marie:)
"hottie next to me gets shotgun."

lola giggled behind me and replied,

"as long as me and val get to sit by our mans ;)"

as we reached my car, i tampered with the keys on my lanyard until i found the right one. lola, val, and their boys climbed in the back, leaving two open seats for me and mine. "you gonna call a tow truck or should i ethan?" ethan. even his name was cute. ethan looked in the backseat and replied, "phones dead bro."

as i started the car, xxxtentacion boomed through the speakers, vibrating the seats. "you fuck with x?" he asked me, eyebrows raised. i smiled, "hell yeah," i said and turned it up even louder.
