The Special Ones [UNDER EDITING]

The Accident

"Time to lock up" coach says.

"Ok" I reply and head to the locker room to take a shower.

As soon as I enter the locker room I am greeted by the overwhelming stench of the off-brand soap provided by the school. After I step out of the shower, I get dressed in clean clothes, and check my phone and see I have a text from one of my best friends, Stormy.

Munchkin: Do you wanna go to the Diner with all of us??

Me: sure who's driving?

Munchkin: Me, you, Jax, and Neo in Neo's car and
Riley in her car since she says she has to go to family game night.

Me: Okay what time?

Munchkin: 4:15

Me: see you then

In case you're wondering, all of us is my group of best friends. Stormy, Riley, Jaxton, Leneo, and me, Genesis. I'm tired, kind've sore, and want to lay down before I have to go to the diner. With that train of thought, I get into my oh so treasured car, and drive home. I get home, and am having a deep inner debate on wether I want to eat, or take a nap. I ultimately decide to take a nap, but before I do I set an alarm for 4:05 because I don't need a lot of time to get ready.

The first time It goes off I snooze it. The second time it goes off I procrastinate until I realize it's 4:10. I jump up out of bed, run to the closet, and put on a black shirt, army print cargo pants, and black combat boots. Once I'm done I put my hair In an afro puff and grab my purse, phone, keys, and wallet and run downstairs. As soon as I make it downstairs I hear a loud "BEEEEP" coming from my driveway, and know they're here.

"Hey, Bums," I say when I get in the car, but stop when I see stormy and Riley are talking about whether or not a taco is a sandwich...?

"But think about it," Stormy says

"If a sandwich is just two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, and condiments in between, isn't that the same as a taco?" Stormy continues.

"ER MER GERD YOU'RE RIGHT"Riley then replies, I laugh as I watch the conversation between the two.

"Oh hi!" both girls say when they realize the car got quiet as everyone was listening to their conversation, I give then a 'really' look then put on my seatbelt.

"DJ, music please," Jax says as we pull off.

"Will do" I reply, then go to my Spotify playlist and go to my 'Ayee' playlist. The first song to play is R.I.C.O by Meek Mill and Drake- kinda've old, but still a mood booster. We all start singing; No, more like yell-rapping, The lyrics to the song.

"We might just get hit with that RICO ," we all chant,

"Everyone's home for the summer so lets not do nothin' illegal" we continue.

We continue to chant- or yell sing as i'd like to say,
songs obnoxiously as they play while we ride to the diner.

We get into the diner and walk up to Mary, the owner who also happens to be an old sweet lady, who's also like a friend of ours.

"Hi Mary," we all say.

"Hey Kids" she replies

"Go ahead" and that's all says before we're headed to our usual table. I walk up to the counter to order.

"The usual?" Mary asks.

"Yes please" I answer

After ordering, go back to the table tell the rest of them
"Our food will be ready in a few minutes" the subsequent response being with a bunch of ok.'s. A few minutes later Mary comes out with our food.

"Alright, Buffalo Wings for you Gen, Chicken tenders for Riley, pizza puff for Stormy, Cheeseburger for Neo, and grilled cheese and tater tots for Jax." she hands us our milkshakes as we all say thank her, then Mary leaves to help her next customer.

We make small conversation while eating, and I listen to Jax and Neo argue about who can get a girl easier.

"You know what? since you seem to think you're superior, and  can get any girl, I dare you to get that girl's number." Jax challenges pointing to a girl in a corner booth. She's fairly pretty, she has light brown eyes, curly almost black hair that falls right below her shoulders, and caramel skin.

"Ok" Neo scoffs arrogantly, and walks over to the girl. After what feels like a lifetime of waiting, he comes back sporting goofy grin.

"I'm guessing you got her number?" I ask while eating a wing,

"Yeah, and so did Jax, well not her number but-" He answers while handing Jax a slip of paper looking towards the to girl's booth, specifically at the second girl sitting there.

"Her friend asked me to give you her number," Jax smirks and looks over the girl and winks at her.

"Y'all ready to go?" I ask and they nod as we walk up to the counter and I take $30 out of my wallet

"What do you think you're doing?" They all ask while Jax takes the money out my hand and puts in my pocket.

"Um paying for our food...?" they all sigh disapprovingly.

"No you're not, we can pay for our own meals thank you though." They say only for me to argue,

"Stop being so stubborn and let me pay for the dang food" I sigh, handing the person at the counter the money and walking out.

Riley leaves and we all say goodbye, and get into the car and I turn on some music and Stir Fry by Migos starts playing, and once again yell-rapping the lyrics soon with Riley doing awkwardly comical dance moves, the girls starting off the song.

"Hold them bands down"

The boys continuing,

"Hold your mans down"

We let the song play for a moment,  finally belching out the chorus.

"In the kitchen, wrist twistin' like a stir fry"
We laugh and continue to sing, deciding to take the long way home which is off-road.

"Gen" Stormy calls

"Yes?" I reply

"Do penguins have knees? she asks me. Now yes, they do have knees, but I'm not going to tell her that.

"I don't know do they have knees?" I asked feigning curiosity and innocence.

"I know that you know, you just won't tell me, you meanie.' she wines. I smirk the turn around when

Jax yells to see a giant semi truck coming at us from the side.

"Get down and cover your heads!" I yell at Neo and Stormy while covering my own head.

Jax tries to turn the wheel, but the wheel locks up, he tries pressing the gas but that locks up too. I look out the window to see the semi-truck inching closer, and closer...
