In His Eyes

Chapter Ten

🖤

V E R O N I C A

If you asked me when this day had begun, I honestly wouldn't be able to answer. We had stayed up all night talking, playing games and telling stories.

Everyone gathered in our room and we really had a great time. None of us got a drop of sleep and now we have a chance to do so since we're in the bus traveling to Prague.

So, right now, I'm leaning on my seat, about to fall asleep whilst thinking about what outfit I'll wear later. Asher's snoring is pretty much keeping me awake. Suddenly, an idea pops up.

I place my head right between the gap between the bus seats in front of me, where Blake's supposed to be located. "Yo Blake. Do you plan on sleeping?" I whisper.

"Blake's already asleep, Veronica." Damon's sharp voice answers instead, making me startle. I didn't expect him.

"Mike." I whisper, looking toward the seats next to ours.

He notices me looking at him and removes his headphones. "Did you say something?"

"Yeah. Do you plan on sleeping?"

"No."

"Let's switch seats. Asher snores." I plead.

"Sure."

Sleep here I come.

I was woken up by a sudden halt, unaware of the current threat, I reflexively open my eyes in a split second and analyze my surroundings.

"Sis, you're awake. Good." Blake says, waving his hand in front of me to get my attention.

"What happened? Why did we stop like that?" I ask.

"We're taking a short break at some gas station. I'm going to the store, are you hungry?"

"Chocolate." I murmur, closing my eyes.

I seemed to have fallen asleep immediately after that and thankfully no one made an attempt to awake me, not even the famous driver who likes to Tokyo drift way too often.

What made me open my eyes is the smell of some chips, my stomach reminded me of their presence and I had to act on it. "Blake. What food do you have?"

"Your chocolate and some snacks."

"Hand me my chocolate." I say, offering my hand. He passes it with a slight chuckle.

"You got rid of me that fast, huh?" Asher peaks his head towards me.

"Mhm." I mutter, too distracted by my hunger to even bother talking to someone.

The ride after that was quick and before we knew it we had arrived at the hotel in Prague.

Tonight, we are actually going to a disko party. I need to look poppin and certainly less tired. Even if I spent the whole ride sleeping, I still need more rest.

I was debating whether to use my two spare hours to sleep or to do something nice with my hair and try out the straight hair look.
