The Beach. CB. Under Review

chapter four

We make it back to the car and thankfully the dog was inside when we went by the house again. Sam puts their backpack in the trunk, and I do the same with mine. When we all get back in the car, Hayden takes a deep breath.

"So, what happened?" I asked her. I'm kind of annoyed because I'm sure Sam and Colby weren't done exploring, but I didn't let her know I was annoyed.

"I heard someone breathe in my ear and I swear it sounded like a huge man," Hayden said, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Okay, I'm sorry," I apologize even though it wasn't my fault. I just feel bad because nothing ever happens to me and I'm the reason my friends come to these places.

"I'm starving," Colby broke the awkward silence and made us all laugh.

"What do you want?" I ask him as we drive down the road, back towards the town. By this time, it's about 7 PM.

"Taco bell?" Colby asks quietly as if he's embarrassed.

"Of course. Is that okay with everyone?" I ask the other passengers.

"Actually, can I just go home?" Hayden says, shocking me. She never turns down Taco Bell. That incident at the library must have really scared her.

"Yeah, that's fine," I don't push her.

"Thank you, Andy," she says quietly.

"I guess I should call a hotel and make a reservation," Sam says and pulls out his phone.

"I would offer to let you stay with me, but I only have one room," I tell them sadly. I would love it if Sam and Colby stayed with me. That'd be the highlight of my life.

"We'll just all sleep in your bed," Colby says, obviously joking.

"That'd be really cramped," I laugh. I look in the rear-view mirror at Sam and Colby. Sam's dialing a number and Colby's staring out of the window.

Something about me is I've never really had a favorite because most of the time when you have a favorite youtuber, it's because you think they're better than the other or they're more attractive. In my case, I was so focused on their content that I'd never notice how attractive they both are. However, now that they're both right in front of me, well, technically right behind me, I'd say they're both so cute.

Colby's definitely catching my eye more though. Maybe it's because Sam's taken, or maybe Colby is just more my type. Either way, he is so attractive to me right now. His brown hair falling in his eyes ever so slightly, his gorgeous blue eyes looking out of the window, and his adorable chubby cheeks. Not to mention his fashion sense. Yeah, it's mostly black pants and black shirts but he manages to make every outfit look so good. His ring clad fingers sit in his lap where he slowly spins them around his fingers, playing with them. I was in complete awe of his beauty.

Between thinking about Colby and paying attention to the road, I hadn't even realized we were back at my apartment building.

"I'll text you later, okay?" I tell Hayden as she gets out of my car. She says okay and gets in her own car.

"You don't have to come with us if you don't want to," Colby says from the back.

"Oh, do you not want me to go?" I ask, hoping I don't sound too desperate to hang out with them.

"No, no. I definitely want you to go. I just didn't know if you were tired of us yet," Colby laughed, sitting up in his seat so he was closer to the front seat and myself.

"Definitely not. I'm your biggest fan, remember?" I ask, smirking at him.

"Oh, right," he laughs.
