"Ugh, when are they gonna be here to pick us up?" I speak to my best friend, Jordyne, as we sit out in the hot weather.

I'm not one to be confident in my body, but the 85 degree weather forces me to be. I'm wearing a Twenty One Pilots crop and some jean shorts. I'm wiping sweat from my forehead when I see a car pull up, praying that it's ours.

"Hello there," I hear a man speak. "Are you Allycia and Jordyne?"

"Thank God I'm myself for once. Yes, I'm Allycia. Hey..." I guess his name. "Angus?"

"Yeah, that's me, the nice one." He laughs, referring to Havok.

"Nice to meet you, but I gotta get in the car, it's hot out here." I grab my stuff and walk up to the car, throwing it in the back and then getting inside.

"Hey Havok, I'm Allycia."

Havok just stays quiet and looks at me weirdly.

"What, did I violate dress code?" I scoffed and put my headphones in.

I looked up at Angus, slightly smiling.

"Do you need any help with anything? Carrying any luggage?" He questions.

"No, but thank you! I can get it!

I grab my bags and carry them to the back of the car, putting them in before getting in the backseat.

I've noticed that Allycia and Havok haven't gotten along so well... It's been like, five seconds. Greatt...

"Anyways, what do you do Mac?" I smile warmly, putting the seatbelt on. It felt different from the one in my car. The one in mine felt really smooth, this felt a bit rougher.

"Honestly, I have no idea what you'd want to call it. I'm kind of the genius on the team."

"Is Alex the smart a-"

Allycia's cut off by Alex.

"Yeah, you know it, sweetheart." I see his face turn red, displaying pure anger.

I scoff and put my headphones in. I was gonna find a way to tick him off, but I guess that didn't exactly work out. Smart alec keeps cutting me off, so I'll just listen to Drake and sing along to annoy him.

"I think I'd lie for you,

I think I'd die for you,

Jodeci "Cry For You",

Do things when you want me to,

like Controlla,

Controlla"

I glance up at Alex and see him staring at me, his mouth wide open.

"Hey, you kind of have a road to focus on." I pull my earbud out.

"Oh, sorry, princess." He spits back.

"Don't like having obvious things pointed out? Maybe they should call people "Smart Alex" instead of "Smart Aleck", that's probably where you got your name from."

"If we get in an accident, I'm making sure your side gets hit." He growls lowly.

"Wouldn't want it any other way, cutie." I wink at him, and see his cheeks turn a bright pink.

•••••••••

We stop at a gas station about 15 minutes later.

"Does anyone want anything?" Mac asks.

"I'll take a coke," Alex and I say at the same time.

"I'm going in with you, Mac!" Jordyne says excitedly and runs inside. Mac laughs and follows her inside. I bend over the seat and grab my makeup box, before starting to redo my mascara.

"Hey, can you pass me the AUX?" I ask Alex, actually sounding nice, fixing my mascara.

"You gonna play nothing but Drake the entire time?"

"You know it."

"Alright. I'm good with it." He passes me the AUX.

"So, you like Drake?" I ask, concerned. If I'm gonna have to work with him, I should at least try to be nice to him. He's arrogant, but that doesn't matter.

"Yeah, a bit. Probably not as much as you though."

"I'mmmmm assuming that's a compliment and an insult, so thank you?" I laugh lightly.

"You should play "Best I Ever Had", it's my favorite."

"Alright, I will." I get it loaded up on Spotify and play it, setting my phone down to fix my eyebrow.

Alex just sits there and mouths along to the entire song, until a minute or two into the song, when he decides to sing. He glaces at me and smiles, singing.

"Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on, that's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong..."

"Was that directed at me?"

"No, it's just my favorite line." He lies, and gets back in the car.

I laugh. "Sure."

He just scoffs and gets back in the car, closing his door.

"You know," I lean up between the driver's seat smirking, and when he looks over at me, l lean in and kiss him.

"You're not too bad at kissing." I smirk and sit back down, as I see a confused Alex in the rear view mirror.

This is gonna be the longest two hours of my life, so why not make it fun?
