Thrill Ride

Chapter Five

Another long hour passed for Tobey. Tobey loved thinking about his team and what he was going to do but he was getting sick of the silence. The stars glistened brightly above the car. Tobey debated on what to do, And finally decided to shake Julia's shoulder lightly. At first Julia didn't respond to the shake, meaning Tobey had to try again. This time Tobey got a low grumble in response which caused Tobey to laugh. "Come on Julia we are almost here." Tobey mock sighed before looking back at the road. San Francisco's skyline shone brightly in the distance. Tobeys foot eased off some of the acceleration now he knew he was close and not doing circles around the desert, Like he had suspected when he started driving. Julia continued to shuffle in her seat and then her tired eyes opened slowly. Julia rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and then blinked a few times, Clearing any traces of sleep from her eyes in a instant. "What time is it...?" Julia yawned loudly. "5 A.M. you slept for 6 hours. That must be a record for car sleeping." Tobey half smirked which resulted in Julia playfully slapping Tobey's arm, light enough so Tobey could still drive as Julia wanted to get back to san Francisco just as much as Tobey yet she still wanted to make her point. Tobey looked at Julia's face as she adjusted in her seat, smiling as she did. Julia stroked her hair and her smile dropped. "How bad is my hair Tobey?" Julia asked quietly. "Well if your trying to look like a lion then not bad at all!" Tobey mocked. Julia unbuckled her seat belt and stretched her arms onto the back seat meaning she could reach her bag. She leant back into her seat and dipped her thin hands into her bag meaning she could pull out her mirror and study her hair. Julia sighed when she saw it was sticking up at odd angles, But not as bad as Tobey had made it out to be. Julia was expecting her hair to be everywhere, Not a few strands sticking up, Defying gravity. "Ha ha very funny Tobey... So how long have we got left?" Julia yawned as Tobey's face looked tired and bored meaning a feeling deep inside Julia brewed which only made Julia want Tobey to drive a bit quicker, For his sake. Julia knew that when Tobey was tired he became grumpy or quiet. "Ten minutes... Can you see the skyline up ahead?" Tobey half slurred, directing his head towards the skyline Julia had managed to overlook. Julia smiled and clapped in excitement at finally having a proper bed to sleep in. Tobey shook his head and blinked his eyes to push away any signs of being tired before he got back to being with his friends.
