Meant to have this up last week. Gosh I hate taking Government class over the summer. Why did I want to take both art and choir junior year?
Mood: Sing-songy
Listening to: "Icarus" by Bastille
The moment Fang woke up, he knew he was going to be late leaving. It was 9:57 and they had to leave 10:30. He took a quick shower, and moved the towel at light speed through his hair to dry it. He flapped his wings as fast as he could to get them dry as well.
"Fang! Hurry up!"
"Just a sec, Gaz!"
Fang got dressed quickly, jeans and his MSI* t-shirt. He then helped the others pack the car. They pilled in, Jeb and Fang up front and Iggy and Gazzy in the back. As they were driving down their driveway to the street, Fang regretted not saying goodbye to Tug. Hopefully the camp wasn't too long.
"Hey, Jeb, where are the girl's profiles?" Iggy asked. He was looking over the papers Jeb had handed him.
"Only had a few sheets left in the printer. If I printed the girls, there wouldn't have been room for the guys," Jeb explained.
"And what a loss that would have been," Iggy said sarcastically.
"Who are the other guys?" Fang asked Iggy.
Gazzy took the paper instead. "Mitchell Morgan, 16. He looks like the guy who plays Merlin. Liam Tanner, 16, blonde-ish brown hair? And then Bryce Adams. He's black and has shot hair. Oh, and he's seventeen."
Iggy took the paper back and glanced over it to see if Gazzy missed anything. "It also says our modeling assignments. Bryce and I are doing Suits and Jackets. Mitchell's got Swimsuits. Fang, you got Casual/Shoes with Liam. And Gazzy's on Kid's Clothes."
"Do we have roommates?"
"Um, yup. You're with Liam. I'm with Bryce and Gaz is with Mitchell," Iggy said.
Fang nodded and turned to stare out the window. It would take them about an hour to reach the camp which was being held one city over. Fang looked wistfully at the clouds, and when he turned to switch on the radio, he saw Iggy was doing the same. It seemed as though he wasn't the only one who'd rather fly than drive.
"Icarus is flying too close to the sun~ Icarus's life, it has only just begun~" Iggy was singing along softly to the song playing through the speakers.
"This is how it feels to take off~ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh~" Fang sang the next lines with him. "Icarus is flying towards an early grave~"
They got into the singing, and started belting out the song. Iggy stopped being serious after a few lines and made his voice sound ridiculous. Radioactive came on next and Gazzy joined in the sing-a-long. Fang chuckled when his brothers exaggerated the huge breath in the middle of the first verse. Iggy even started choking on his own breath. Gazzy laughed at him as he continued to cough, but Fange was nice and passed him some bottled water. Iggy gulped it down before shooting daggers at Gazzy, who just laughed it off.
The boys started to get hungry as they made their way through the second city so Jeb pulled into a drive-thru. The poor employee had trouble taking their order because Gazzy was mimicking the female singer's high voice rather loudly as Jeb tried to speak. Iggy wacked Gazzy upside the head and said something about "finding the off switch" when they pulled up to pay.
After they got their food and got back onto the road, Jeb switched the radio station to some classical channel with the explanation that it helped with digestion. The brothers all dragged out their iPods to avoid "Sonata op. 27 no. 2 'Moolnlight' First movement". It was all well and good until Iggy's iPod died and he decided his pain would be everyone else's. Fang would never watch another nature documentary ever again.
Simple and clean is the way that you're breaking my line tonight. It's hard to continue on.
Max was quick to change the radio to her favorite station once they were done looking at the papers. Her mother raised an eyebrow at her when she didn't switch away for the One Direction song, but Max refused to be judged from listening to the catchy boy band. Nudge was blabbing on about how cool it was going to be and her enthusiasm was spreading to Ella and Angel.
"I'm bored," Angel complained.
Apparently it hadn't spread enough.
"Me too," Nudge said.
Max turned to see Ella nodding in agreement. Well, that's the last of them. All hope is lost.
"Play 20 Questions," Max suggested. She turned up the Panic! At the Disco song slightly.
"Hey, Max, turn it down. You have to play too," Ella said.
"Fine."
"I'll go first!" Nudge called out. "Start guessing."
"Is it alive or dead?" Angel asked.
"Yes or no questions only."
"Is it alive?"
"It was."
"Can you eat it?"
"Yes."
"Fruit?"
"Nope."
"Vegetable?"
"Yes."
"Is it green?"
"Ew, that would be gross!"
"Okay, how about red?"
"Part of it is."
"Do you eat it in a salad?"
"Um, no."
"Do you cook it?"
"Yes!"
"Is it a tomato?"
"That's a fruit."
"Oh yeah."
"I give up."
"Max!"
"Me too."
"Ella!"
"Is it pizza?"
"Angel, that's cheating," Nudge complained.
"Wait, seriously?" Ella asked.
"Fucking really?"
"Max, language. Since when is pizza a vegetable?" Dr. Martinez asked.
"Since our school system decided to make it one," Nudge retorted.
"In that case, would anyone like a slice of vegetable?" she asked as they pulled into a Sbarro Pizza.
"Yes!"
In America, pizza really is a vegetable. I hope no one's got a problem with my use of profanities...
