up there

the next day we all woke up pretty late so we decided to go a huge park for the rest of the day . i put on a long sleeve polo ralph lauren shirt and my bomber jacket . i shuffled across my room brushing my teeth and styling my hair for a couple minutes before putting on a pair of ripped jeans and some shoes . i was looking through the drawers of the dresser in my room and found an old pair of ray bans . i dusted them off and put them in a pocket inside of my jacket .

corey rode with adonis , mila rode with me and everyone else rode in the jeep . adonis put his trust in jc to drive his jeep but not before giving him a long talk on how the jeep mattered to him very much . im pretty sure adonis' only goal was to scare the shit outta jc by having that conversation .

mila and i got into the mustang and followed behind the bronco and the jeep .

"nice vehicle ya got here ," mila said , inspecting the inside of the mustang . 

"thanks . twas my grandpa's . he used it for drag racing in the fifties ," i said , hands on the steering wheel . 

"i like your grandpa . he was a badass ." i shrugged . 

"he was quite the charmer . but i mean , those were the fifties ."

"did he ever teach you any of his tricks ?" mila asked .

"mmm possibly ," i smiled .

"would you consider yourself able to beat adonis ?"

"i don't know , he's pretty good at everything sooo ."

"then beat jc ." i smirked .

"challenge accepted ." we were now on the highway and it was still decently vacant because it was still snowing . "hold onto something in case we skid ," i said , moving into the lane to the right of us . i put the pedal to the medal and we flew forward . jc leaned forward so we could se him through the shotgun window and squinted at us . mila leaned forward too , flipped him off and i changed gears , accelerating the vehicle which caused us to pass his . after turning into the lane in front of jc , i got a call from sadie . i took a hand off the wheel and picked up . 

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR ??" she screamed through the phone . i turned around and smiled at her through the rear window and hung up . when i turned back around , and at that single moment , we hit a patch of black ice . i gripped the steering wheel as we slowly drifted out of our lane . 

"hold onto something ," i murmured , looking over to mila . she grabbed onto my shoulder . good move . "i meant like something stable ." she rolled her eyes  and held her seat belt . i turned the steering wheel , sending us spinning and changed the gear to drive . i pressed on both of the pedals and we stopped spinning , we were now sliding sideways . i pushed the brake pedal slightly more than the gas pedal and we started turning back to straight . i hastily lifted my foot up off of the brake pedal and pressed the gas pedal , sending us forward . i breathed heavily as we continued moving forward , adrenaline pumping through my veins .

"you good ?" mila said , aware of my current state . i nodded quickly and calmed my breathing down . "nice save ." i started laughing . "what's so funny , dumbass ? we kinda just almost died ," she said . i literally had zero idea why i was laughing . "you're so weird ," mila said , but i could tell my laughter was spreading to her . we then got back into the lane behind the jeep and put on listened to music for the rest of the car ride . mila's music taste was mostly high school musical songs , which i despised , but some good songs played every now and then . 

we arrived at the park blasting bootleggin' by quinn xcii , only me singing at the top of my lungs . there was barely anyone at the park , and the people that were there prior heard teen pop music and immediately left . we had nothing planned for the park , it was kinda just freelance . i locked the doors of the mustang and out of the corner of my eye , i saw a white blur come whizzing towards my head . then i felt it . a snowball . i turned around , snow still speckled in my hair to see who was guilty . everyone was quiet but their eyes kept darting over .. to .. corey . i squinted at her and lifted up my hand , pointing at her .
