ASTR (a tobeone love story)

Chapter Thirty-Two

*Rebecca's POV*

"We are almost there girls!" my mom said, a little bit too cheerfully, as Nicole and I kept listening to music on her phone. Nicole, like I said, has been my friend for such a long time. Longer then Kayla actually. We are basically cousins. Nicole is a little bit taller than me so about 5'3. She has medium light brown hair and dark brown eyes. She's tan and one of the happiest people I know. She's always looking for the good in people and always looking for the bright side in life. She's an amazing singer too, better then me. And may I add, she's my best friend.

"Hey Becky, aren't you dating someone?" she asked me and I laughed. "Yeah. Where'd you hear that from?" I asked her and she bit her bottom lip. "Instagram." she said trying not to smile. "who is he?" she asked/yelled. "Mikey Fusco." I said and her eyes were so wide, I thought they were about to fall out of her head. "The Mikey Fusco?" She asked. "Yeah.." my voice trailed off. "He was an iconic boy! and now he's in To Be One!" she said and sat up straight. "I know, well I know that now." I said and laughed a little. "Know? you didn't know that before?" she asked. I shook my head. "Don't kill me! but I can see you're a fan." I said and she nodded. "Big time fan! I can't believe you didn't tell me!" she said.

"I didn't know you knew who he, they are!" I corrected myself. "I can't believe you're dating Mikey." She said and calmed down a bit. We both kept listening to music and taking pictures of the beautiful view. We had to gas up and stopped at a gas station. "Okay dolls, I'm going inside to get some snacks. You girls what any?" Nicole's mom, Aliza asked. "I'm fine. But I'll come for the walk!" I said as I unblucked my belt. I opened the car door and stretched my legs. The 2 hour drive was killing me. And we still had 2 more hours to go. Shoot me.

I fixed my tank top and walked into the mini market and looked around. It was run down. Very small and smelled like fish. Aliza took two bags of chips and some soda and payed for it. When her and I were walking out of the store, there was a little table the had a white sign, and in red letters, it said "fireworks and sparklers". Since it was Fourth of July weekend coming up really soon, it was sold out. But that didn't stop me. I put one piece of my brown hair behind my ear and walked to the table. A guy about 17 was sitting there on his phone. "Hiya." he said and smiled at me. "Hi. Do you have anymore?" I asked him and he looked puzzled.

"I don't- oh wait. Looky here missy, I have 5 sparklers and 2 fireworks right here." He said and pulled our a brown cardboard box from under the table. "I just it my lucky day," I laughed. "How much?" I asked but I was cut off from foot steps behind me. It was Nicole and my mom. "50 bucks." he said. "50? No 40!" Nicole suggested and I elbowed her. "What are you doing?" I whispered to her. "Shh Becky. It's 40 or nothing. I can always gave someone else my money down the road.." Nicole's voice trailed off. "Um uh, okay. Fine," the boy stuttered. "40 for 5 sparklers and 2 fireworks." He said and Nicole grinned.

My mom pulled out her wallet and paid the boy 40 dollars and I took the box into my arms. "Thank you" I said and walked back to the SUV. I opened the truck and placed the box inside. I hopped in and looked out Nicole's window which was opened. As my mom started to drive away, we passed the boy who tried to sell us the stuff for 50 dollars. Nicole and I were looking his way and he looked at us. Nicole just gave him the evil eye and bobbed her eye horizontally. He gasped and looked the other way. We drove out of the gas station and Nicole looked at me. I shook my head as I laughed, "it's going to be a long week!"
