Chapter 10- Road Trip
We left early the next morning about four in the morning. Most of us were asleep on our feet. Andrew was the only one that was really awake and hyper. I think it had to do something with the cup of coffee in his hands and I couldn't help but think what cup of coffee that made for him. Tori sat in the passenger seat, Michael and Simon in the middle of seating, and Derek and I in the back.
It had only took about an hour before everyone had fell back asleep. I place my head on Derek's shoulder, while he brought me closer by wrapping an arm around me. I fell to a comfortable peaceful sleep.
-New School-
I woke up to the gentle rock of the van, sun shining bright on my face. I didn't bother moving about, I looked straight ahead to read the van's clock it was two in the afternoon. Most of everyone was asleep in the car still. Michael, Simon, and Tori I could tell were the ones asleep clearly by the way they lack of stiffness of someone awake they moved to easily for someone who would've been awake. I only knew Derek was awake due to the lack of deep breathing of someone who would be asleep. I leaned up slightly to stretch and Derek let me, I turned to look at him and he slightly smiled.
"How long have you been awake?" I whispered. Andrew had soft country music playing in the back ground; I guest to have something to just have noise instead of the quietness.
"Couple of hours. The wolf in me likes to be up with the sun." This is weird, considering he is a werewolf.
"Meaning you didn't really go back to sleep." I smiled at him, as he slightly looked away. I poked his stomach, and I could feel my smile get wider at his cuteness.
"Do you know when we are going to stop?" He seemed thoughtful for a moment.
"Not sure. But Andrew will have to stop for gas soon." I nod and lean up fully, stretching more and looking around. We were on the highway; trees mainly filled the view as we were at the moment in the middle of nowhere. Means were we probably making great time, and that Andrew was speeding a little. He had mentioned it'll probably take about a full week of Motels, gas stations, and driving.
"How the heck are they still asleep?" I leaned forward and hit Simon and Michael upside the head. The both groaned and rubbed the spot where I hit them.
"Geese, Chloe. What?"
"You slept most of the day. Wake up. I'm bored."
"Then make up with your boyfriend." Michael said, turning slightly and closing his eyes again.
"You don't want to see that." I said hitting him in the head again. He groaned out of announce and turned to glare at me. I smiled innocently at him and he sighed turning back around.
"Okay we're awake. What do you want?"
"Don't know. Like I said I was bored." Simon smiled at me and shook his head, turning to face us-Derek and I.
"Have about a game then?" Michael turned at that point and agreed. After we finally got Derek to agree with had to think about a game-car game to play.
"20 Questions?" We all shrug and began. Apparently 'Ladies first' applied so I had to go first. Deciding between an Animal, Mineral, or Vegetable. I knew if I picked an animal I would've pick a wolf and that would've been a little obvious. I had no idea what a mineral was or even anything that could relate to one. So Vegetable it was.
After about 18 questions, I was getting a little irritated because I didn't realize how many vegetables there were. But I had chosen the easiest one there is and they have yet to figure it out. When the time came to give the final decision they didn't guess tomatoes. It was Simon's turn and I am pretty sure that his was an Animal because the only person who would know what a mineral was is Derek.
-New School-
Two hours and a lot of 20 questions later, we finally got bored and decided another game. Which happened to be how long you could hold your breath, we had only played two rounds before the four of us got light headed and had to stop. We basically just thought of all the games we could and played, before we came up to a gas station and Andrew stopped to fill up and had everyone use a bathroom break.
We filled up on snacks and drinks, stretching our legs for about thirty minutes before actually getting up and leaving back on the road. This time Andrew picked a radio station everyone had agreed on and we all sung to the songs we had known. Derek mainly stayed to himself and didn't sing but I know he found it amusing that everyone was. We were having a great time, so far on this road trip.
-End of Chapter-
I know it is short, but I think of this as a filler just to like get an idea what happened the whole trip to the Rebellion Safe Camp. Not much more to read, as I think it'll be finish in the next 3 chapters maybe not even three, more like less than that. Thanks for reading –J.
