in love with a pornstar (modern au fanfic LAMS)

chapter 31

third person
"everyone shut up!" peggy yells while sitting in the front seat of the van they're all in. "i'm sorry the trip got cancelled. there's really nothing i can do about that. but look, we're off for two weeks. instead of traveling to the bahamas, we're simply going to go to the beach house that's not too far from my sister's and i's house. first, we need to go to walmart, then we'll be fine. okay? okay."

everyone in the car begins talking after peggy's speech was over, everyone except alex and john of course.

there's too much tension there. john looks over at him from over his shoulder and he sees eliza literally trying to spoon him in the backseat.

interesting.

that's not the point. john really has no idea what's been going on between them. one minute they're talking, the next they're screaming at each other. peggy and maria have been acting incredibly strange since alexander said the specific thing that john didn't hear. they want to tell john but it's pretty obvious that wouldn't do much to the two boys relationship. it's somewhat obvious that the two like each other, just obvious to everyone but them. it's quite odd actually. all of this only happened because they met from a meet and greet that was supposed to be fun and games.

we see where that's gotten them, haven't we?

the car they're all in comes to a harsh stop, courtesy of maria's great driving.

"get out!" maria screams. "go get what you want. if you take any longer than ten minutes this car won't be here when you come back."

everyone except for maria, peggy, alex, and john file out of the van. eliza gives alexander a questioning look as to why he's not getting out before the sliding door closes and she's getting dragged off by angelica into walmart.

the car is quiet, you can only hear maria sighing, the clicking sound it makes when you text someone, and someone tapping their finger on the window.

"john, why do you have that look on your face?" peggy turns around from the passenger seat.

"i apologize for having a resting bitch face." john speaks.

"i accept your poor excuse of an apology."

"okay." john responds.

maria laughs quietly at the twos conversation before joining in.

"are you two excited for break?" she smiles back at john and alex.

"no." the two say simultaneously.

they make eye contact with each other for a brief second before scowling and looking away. that's nice.

"why? the weather should be better than this," maria turns her head to look outside at the rain that's ever so slightly spitting down on the car. "it should be a lot of fun. by the way, you two are sharing a room."

"what!? why?" alexander speaks for the first time in the car.

"believe me, i'm not thrilled either." john rolls his eyes.

"because, everyone is tired of the sexual tension between you two." peggy states while looking down at her phone with one hand and holding maria's with the other.
