Drive
"My mum said she'll come pick me up at eleven, is that all right?" Cissnei asked as she climbed into Genesis Rhapsodos' car.
"Sure! That's fine." he said, turning the ignition on and beginning to drive off away from her house. "It's just, I had thought I was going to drop you off home." he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Oh, well I didn't want you to have to leave the party just because of me!" Cissnei replied.
"Hey, it's fine! I probably would've gone home when you left anyway. Do you want to call your mum and tell her she doesn't have to come?" Genesis glanced over at Cissnei briefly before focusing them in front again.
"Oh, maybe. I'll see at ten thirty whether you're too drunk or not." Cissnei joked, a smile gracing her face. Genesis chuckled and then there was silence for a moment.
"I hear you're going in to get your full licence soon." Genesis said.
"Yeah! It's so exciting! I finally won't have to worry about putting the P plates on my car." Cissnei beamed. "But I still don't think I'm as good a driver as you are."
"Why do you say that?" Genesis asked curiously.
"Well, you're driving is so smooth! The car just seems to be in touch with your mind and know exactly what you want it to do!" Cissnei said, her eyes lighting up in excitement as she spoke of something Genesis was good at.
"I see." Genesis said, making sure that his amusement showed in his words.
"Whatever, I know it's weird but that's just how good of a driver I think you are." Cissnei shrugged.
"Did you remember to bring a bottle of drink like they asked?" Genesis questioned suddenly. Cissnei nodded and patted her oh-so-large-but-in-fashion bag.
"Mum made sure I didn't forget it. She's such a worry-wart sometimes." she giggled.
"Yeah, I think it's got something to do with having a child like you." Genesis teased.
"Hey! That's so mean!" Cissnei laughed. "Besides, your parents should worry more. What with your addiction to LOVELESS. There's just no hope for you."
"No hope, you say?" Genesis repeated, raising one eyebrow.
"That's right. You and your book can't be separated for more than-" Cissnei froze mid-sentence and her eyes widened as she looked over at Genesis. "What are you thinking!? You're going to get me killed!" In an instant Cissnei had reached out and pulled LOVELESS from his hands, shoving it deep into her bag so that it was out of sight.
"Hey! I was reading that!" Genesis complained.
"Exactly! You're supposed to be driving Genesis!" Cissnei snapped.
"Oh come on, you were just going on about how good my driving skills were!" Genesis whined. "Please give it back."
"Were you reading it the entire way?" Cissnei asked. Genesis took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"Yes."
"What!?" Cissnei yelled. "There is no way you're driving me home."
"Please, just give it back." Genesis pleaded.
"No!" Cissnei folded her arms stubbornly and stared straight ahead. As the car pulled up at the place of the party, Genesis turned to Cissnei and smiled.
"You're cute when you're mad."
