There is never a dull moment when you are in a car with Spinner Mason.
He begged Jimmy to stop at the 7-11, despite my protests that my cousin will shoot me if I'm late.
Spin didn't care.
Craig had said he would end up getting lost and sitting in one of the aisles eating twinkies while we waited outside, and I laughed. Spin's determined, and ignored it. He waves it off, saying he'll be back in a couple of minutes. He asks any of us if we want anything. Craig hands him some money for a bottle of coke, and Marco asks him for a Mountain Dew. I shrugged and said to get a decent kind of chips, and Jimmy yells out the window at him that he better not buy any spray cheese, because he doesn't want it all over his car.
But he does anyway.
He comes out of the 7-11 with about three to four plastic bags in his hands, grinning like an idiot. Jimmy shot him a glare and he smiled innocently, handing the change to Jimmy. Gas money. Craig, Marco and I burst into laughter as Jimmy rolled his eyes, smirking as he pretended to take off without Spinner. Spinner had yelled, cursing Jimmy out, running after the black escalade, and the whole gas station parking lot across the street from the 7-11 was staring.
We finally let Spinner in the car, and he smacked Jimmy upside the head, calling him an asshole. Jimmy retorted with a comment saying Spinner could always walk, and Spinner flipped him off, causing Marco, Craig and I to burst into laughter yet again.
I chuckled at the look on Jimmy's face when Spinner busted open the first can of spray cheese. Craig grabbed his coke and made some comment about putting Spinner in a room and gave him only spray cheese that he'd survive. Marco shuttered at the thought, saying that it's the most disgusting junk food ever, and grabbed a handful of chips and his Moutain Dew. Spinner told Marco that he didn't know what he was missing, his mouth full that you could barely understood him, and Marco rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath how much of a pig Spinner was.
Craig and I laughed, along with Jimmy, and we were on our way to the airport.
Spinner had this thing about screaming out "Slug bug!" and socking my arm or Marco's at any chance he got. Marco and I would smack him back, and Spinner would retort that's "not how you play the game". Marco smirked, and saw a slug bug and hit Spinner so hard that he choked on his spray cheese.
It was hilarious.
We were half way to the airport, and it suddenly had gotten quiet - except Craig's constant drumming of his fingers against the dashboard when a song that he liked was on the radio, and Spinner downing yet another can of spray cheese. He had then broken the silence, and said we should play a game of choose - and everyone reluctantly agreed.
"Alright, Lord Stud, choose - Manny or Ashley?" Spinner asked, a smug smile on his face, and Craig rolled his eyes.
"Spin, man, you could have asked a better question." Craig replied, and Spinner shrugged.
"Just choose and shut up so you can ask, then." Spinner said, staring at Craig. I snickered.
Craig glared at him, and then faced the front, seriously thinking about it. He then shrugged, glancing over to Spinner and blinked. "I don't know. Manny, I guess, since Ashley hates my guts with a passion."
"A burning, fiery passion." Marco chimed in.
"Thanks, Marco."
"You're welcome."
Jimmy and I laughed, and Marco joined in. Spinner did eventually, getting the joke somewhat, and Craig rolled his eyes.
"Alright, Spin, choose." Jimmy said, looking to Spinner through the rear view mirror, "Paige or .. a lifetime supply of spray cheese."
"That's completly and utterly not fair, Brooks." Spinner said, wide eyed.
"Why not? It's a decent question. Now choose."
"You guys know I can't choose between Paige and food."
"Just wait til she hears that .." I commented, and Spinner shot me a look. I grinned sheepishly, "Relax, man. So what is it? Paige or your beloved cheese?"
"Honestly?" Spinner asked, and Marco, Craig and I turned to look at him.
".. Spray cheese, because Paige can be a total bitch sometimes. But you tell her I said that and I will kill all four of you."
"....."
"...."
"...."
"...."
The car erupted into laughter. Spinner huffed, crossing his arms as he glared at the back of Jimmy's head, muttering curse words under his breath.
"Alright, Sean," Marco said, trying to stop his laughter, "Choose - hanging out with us or hanging out with your other friends."
"What kind of question is that?" Craig said, his eyebrows raised.
"Yeah, give Slim Shady a better question," Jimmy asked, and Marco threw his hands in the air, fustrated.
"Alright, alright. Choose - Emma or Ellie."
I stared at Marco, and silence filled the car yet again. Craig cleared his throat, and I raised my eyebrows, muttering under my breath, thinking of an answer.
"I can't choose between them, man." I finally said, as soon as Jimmy pulled into the airport parking lot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jimmy, let me borrow some cash."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I want a pretzel."
".. You just ate like, 20 pounds of spray cheese."
"So? I'm still hungry. Now give me some money."
"Aight, aight. Damn, you're like a garbage disposal." Jimmy rolled his eyes, pulling out some money out of his pocket, handing it to Spinner, who ran over to the preztel stand. We all laughed, and I shook my head, smirking.
"He's like a kid in a candy store."
"Only worse," Marco commented, and I nodded my head in agreement.
I looked around for a clock. 4:30. I pulled out the crumpled piece of paper with Ronnie's flight number and arrival time out of my pocket, rereading it. I heard Jimmy let out a low whistle, ignoring it as I continued to look around for my cousin.
"Man, look over there." Jimmy said, nodding towards the girl in question. Craig looked as well, smirking somewhat.
"She's pretty cute."
"Who's cute? Where?" Spinner said, his mouth full.
"Uh, Spin? Aren't you forgetting something?" Marco asked, rolling his eyes.
"What?"
"Oh, I don't know, that you have Paige?"
"Oh, yeah. Shut up, Marco. Quit being so girly."
I put the piece of paper in my pocket, looking to the girl in question. She was short -- not that short, but still. She had on a light yellow strapless dress, with jeans underneath, and matching yellow flipflops. She had dirty blonde, curly hair, and blue eyes. I let a smile cross my face.
"Yo, Ronnie!"
She turned around, and smiled. "Sean!" she yelled back, and all four of them turned to stare at me, wide eyed and eyebrows raised as Ronnie made her way over.
"That's your cousin?" Craig asked, in disbelief, blinking.
"Woah, wait. Your cousin is .." Jimmy trailed off, raising his eyebrows as he looked to me.
"I'm confused." Spinner added, rubbing the back of his head.
I smirked, shrugging as I walked over, deciding to meet her halfway. "Yep, that's her."
She put down her backpack and threw her arms around me, enveloping me in a hug. I laughed, hugging back as I ruffled her hair as we finally let go of each other and looked her over, smirking. "Since when did you start dressing so girly?"
"Since when did you become the next Eminem?" She asked, pointing to my beanie with a grin.
"Don't hate on the hat, yo." I commented, faking a pout as she rolled her eyes, laughing. She looked over my shoulder at Spinner, Jimmy, Marco and Craig, who all were staring in shock, "Those your friends?"
"Something like that," I shrugged as we walked over to them, "Veronica Cameron, this is Craig Manning, Marco del Rossi, Spinner Mason and Jimmy Brooks. Guys, this is my cousin Ronnie."
They all muttered their hellos, and Ronnie smiled faintly. Spinner pointed a finger at her, and then to me, staring accusingly.
"I thought you said that your cousin's name is Ronnie."
"I did."
"And you said he was a dude."
"No, I didn't."
"You did too."
"Spin, shut up." Jimmy said, elbowing Spinner in the side and smiled flirtatiously at Ronnie, "Ignore him. He's .. special." Spinner glared at Jimmy, and let out a small giggle. I eyed Jimmy, my eyebrows raised.
"Well, should we get your luggage?" I asked her, and she nodded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I will never understand why girls have so much stuff," Spinner said as we finished putting Ronnie's luggage in the back of Jimmy's car. Ronnie laughed, patting Spinner on the head who beamed, and I rolled my eyes.
Great. My 'friends' having the hots for my cousin.
"Manning, sit in the back," Jimmy started as well all started to pile in the car, "Miss Ronnie gets shot gun." he looked over to Ronnie, grinning and winked at her. Ronnie's face turned red.
"It's ok, really. I can sit in the back." she said, shrugging her shoulders. I snorted, and Jimmy shot me a look.
I grinned, shrugging innocently.
"Nah, it's ok, 'Ronica. I can sit in the back." Craig shot her a smile, and she smiled back. Spinner and I looked to each other and started making gagging noises, and Craig and Jimmy both shot us looks.
Once we were all piled in, I couldn't help but smirk at the seating arragements. Jimmy in the driver's seat, Ronnie in shot gun, Marco, Craig and I, and then Spinner in the way back. He had been laying down, groaning and complaining about eating to much. Jimmy had said if he threw up he's definatly walking his ass all the way back to Degrassi, and Spinner had thrown a can of spray cheese at him, which had barely missed and hit the back of his seat.
I raised my eyebrows I saw Jimmy and Ronnie smiling at each other, and glanced to Craig, who had a look of jealousy on his face.
Just what I needed -- two of my friends falling for my cousin.
