"How'd you know?" Ben asked as we were walking back to Sapphire.
"Just a lucky guess." I chuckled before handing Via the air pump.
"Finally, twits!" She shouted. "You guys took long enough! I'm betting it was a good make out session?"
I took a nervous step back from Via and cleared my throat. "Umm- we weren't making out, we were umm- talking."
"Sure, twit." Via kneeled down and started inflating the tire.
"Is her favorite word twit?" I whispered to Ben.
"It's either that or Ty," he whispered back.
Via stood up with the air pump in her hand. "Okay, mates. How does that look?" She pointed to the new-looking tire.
"It-It looks brand new!" I looked at Via's big smile. She didn't look capable of fixing a car, but I guess she's full of secrets.
"That's tosh!" Via shook her head and kneeled down again to fix the tire.
"What's wrong with it?" I whispered to him.
"Ask Via. She's a perfectionist. You should see how long it takes for her to get ready." Ben and I chuckled as Via stood up.
"What are you two lovebirds talking about?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
"N-Nothing," Ben replied.
Via looked at Ben and shrugged. "That-" she kicked the newly-inflated tire- "should do it! Now, who wants to get Sapphire off the ditch?"
"I guess I'll do it." I raised my hand up to volunteer.
Ben and Via looked at each other before Ben rolled his shoulders and said, "Goldie, I'll do it. I was driving in the first place, anyway."
I rolled my eyes before Ben got into the drivers seat. He stuck his head out of the window as Sapphire's engine starts.
"What should I do?!" Ben shouted from the inside.
"Just back up and I'll tell you when to stop!" Via shouted back.
