uber || sam hurley

chapter one

i sat there as my best friends and i discuss about our big summer trip to hawaii. we have been planning this trip since middle school. we swore to each other that we would never back out of the trip, it was mandatory.

the bell rung as we all cram into the hallways of my high school. thank god it was the end of the day. i walk out of the school doors and reach for my car keys in the front pocket of my o'neill backpack.

i walk up to my white jeep grand cherokee with blacked out rims and get in and drive to my house. i decided i was going to tell my mom about our trip we are planning in hopes that she will pay for me. she has never been the most generous person, after my mom and dad got a divorce, she has been watching her money ever since there weren't two incomes coming in. but the thing is that i know she has more than enough money to support the both of us.

every time i want to go shopping with my friends, i have to ask my dad for money. but maybe she will say yes. it's basically our senior trip. we couldn't do the trip our senior year, because all of us are going to college.

i walk into the house and i see my mom sitting at the dinner table doing our bills. i sit down across from her and start talking about the trip. she looks convinced.

"violet you know i can't afford that. it's like a 1,000 dollar trip."

" yes you can. you are so selfish mom. you can buy YOURSELF louis vuitton bags, but i can't get my last trip with my friends before college?"

"i don't even own louis vuitton violet."

"that's why you have 50+ purses from them in your closet?!"

"oh just shut up violet, everything is always about you. no wonder dad left us."

i start to cry. why would your own mom say that to you. how do i deal with this fucked up human?

i lock myself in my room.

how am i going to pay for this trip? everyone of my friends has loving parents who bought their plane ticket for them. i need money fast. i made a promise to them. i can't break it.

i go on my laptop that is my moms OLD one and look up highest paying part time jobs.

the first one i see is an uber driver. it's perfect. i can pick when i want to work and when i can. and lets hope i get people who need to go somewhere far so i can get more money . hehe.

i grab my phone and download the uber app and sign up for the job application. i just made the age cut off , 17 years old.

i got the email confirmation that i was approved. so i decided to get out of the house and away from my mom. and go make some easy money.

i get a uber job for someone that needs to be picked up from this big company corporation. it's called "hurley co."

the cutest boy get's in the car. ugh i get so nervous around cute boys that i start becoming clumsy and ya know. my cheeks always get red too.

i am driving and my car starts making a dinging sound saying that i am on empty. great. my first job and i'm fucking on empty. he probably thinks i am so dumb. way to embarrass myself in front of a cute boy again.

" i uh need to get gas, is that okay?" as i stutter.

the sexy god spoke and said "yeah that's fine."

god his voice was sexy.

i pull into the gas station, and i get out to pump the gas, and a sign says "must pay inside."

just my luck. i walk inside the gas station and the line is huge.

so i didn't take my car today, because new york traffic is crazy and there are many car accidents that happen. and i am not crashing my porsche .

i call a uber and soon the cutest girl parks by where i'm standing and rolls down her window and says "are you sam?" with a smile.

i got in and not even halfway through the drive she states that shes on empty and that she needs gas. she asks me if thats okay and i said yeah.

she walks into the gas station and she left her phone unlocked to follow her gps. i wanted her number but i wasn't going to ask, so i grabbed her phone and texted myself off her phone, then deleted it so i got her number on my phone. then i deleted the text i sent from her phone on her phone so when i text her later she won't wonder .

i quickly place her phone back down as i just act as if i was on my phone .

finally i paid and i come back out. i pump the gas to give me a full tank, then look back at sam who is just on his phone.

i continue the drive and turn on my music and start singing halsey "eastside."

sam kind of giggles and i turn around and ask "wait am i not aloud to have music on? im so sorry this is my first time."

sam giggles while saying "no it's fine, your just really cute."

my heart dropped this cute boy thinks im cute. wow.

i turn around and say oh ok.

i finally finish the drive and we roll up to this pizza joint across town. he gets out and says thank you. then shuts the door behind him.

i arrived at my house after and laid on my bed. i saw that my bank account gained 50 bucks from that uber ride. then i look down at how much he tipped me.

he tipped me 100 dollars ...
