*Slight homophobic slur up ahead*

The day of coastal clean-up was finally here. I was pretty excited because this was my first time participating in the event. I usually never came because I didn't want to, or I was busy. Most of it was because I didn't want to. Usually, Casey would go to these things but she couldn't, because she had senior duties to fulfill, so I technically had no ride. Both my parents were at work. I couldn't call my babies to pick me up because they messaged me that they already arrived at the place. I had only one choice, so I dialed a number.

"Hello."

"Heyyy hun.....good morning. Can you give me a ride to the coastal clean-up event," I asked politely...

"Of course I can babe. Benjamin and I decided to use one car so we are headed there too," he informed me.

"Oh god! Thank you!!! How long until you get here?" I asked biting my fingernail.

"I'm outside."

"oh, o-...WHAT!?," I screamed through the phone.

I ran towards the window and looked out only to find him leaning on the side of his Jeep, smiling up at me. I flicked him off and ran downstairs.

"How did you know?" I asked him curiously.

"Jane told me you weren't there, so she asked me to come to pick you up," he said.

I just waved him off getting the picture. I walked to the passenger side and opened the door only to be greeted by Benjamin's scowl. I glared at him before slamming it into his face.

Marcus slapped the back of his head making him hiss at the pain.

"Yo, What the fuck!? What'd you that for?" he asked rubbing the back of his head.

GET TO THE BACK!," Marcus yelled at him.

I kinda felt guilty towards Benjamin. He was just glaring holes into my skin. I shoved him out of my way and got into the passenger seat.

"Can we listen to music?," I asked Shyly holding up my phone, signaling if I can Bluetooth to the car's sound system.

Marcus glanced at me, nodding at my request. I squealed in excitement. The connection was successful, so I went to my Spotify playlist and blasted my song.

'Come and get your love' started playing.

Hail (Hail), what's the matter with your head, yeah

Hail (Hail), what's the matter with your mind

And your sign an-a, oh-oh-oh

Hail (Hail), nothing' the matter with your head. 

The song continued to play, as I turned to Marcus. He was smiling and bobbing his head. The sun was now shining in on us, and It felt good as the heat lingered on my face. I pulled my head back in a relaxing way, smiling. I couldn't help but slightly moan at the feeling. I could've sworn I heard Marcus mumble something. I just brushed it off and went back to relaxing.

"COME AND GET YOUR LOVE!!!!!!!!,"

I instantly jolted up in shock as I heard Marcus singing his heart out. I just broke out in laughter, then decided to join in on the fun.

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

Come and get your love

I was smiling like crazy. This carpool karaoke was much needed to relax me before I help clean a whole fucking seashore filled with trash from previous campers. I didn't notice that while I was smiling and laughing, Benjamin was just staring at me. I quickly avoided his gaze and focused my attention on the trees that seem to be very much interesting at the moment.

"Here we go again. why the hell do you keep staring at me??!"

I decided to play "love on the brain" by Rihanna. I couldn't help but channel the inner soul of my voice.

And you got me like ahhhhhh
What you want from me. (What you want from me.)
And I try to buy your pretty heard, the price too high.

While I was singing I couldn't help but remember my past. What a ride middle school was.

"Must be love on the brain," I sang the last line of the song.

I didn't realize that my eyes were closed. I slowly opened to them only to find Marcus and Benjamin staring at me with a shocked expression. The whole car was instantly filled with Marcus cheering me on. I couldn't help but blush.

"where did you learn how to sing like that? It was so good," He smiles at me.

"I suck dick."

The whole car just got silent. I turned and they just looked at me in shock, trying to figure out if I was serious or not. I immediately broke out in laughter while they just looked at me as if I was a whore. Ugh, I'm dying right now.

"I'm just kidding," I winked at the two, but on a real note though, I have never.

After a few other songs, we finally arrived. We parked and I was just about to step out when Marcus grabbed my arm.

"Hey, I don't want you going anywhere far. I want you to stay close to me," he said with authority. I just snorted and released myself from his grasp.

"Um, what do I look like? five? I can handle myself, Marcus," I reassured him smirking.

"Can you faggot?" Benjamin mumbled.

"Hey watch your mouth," Marcus said raising his voice a bit.

"ughhh, stop fighting you idiots," I scolded, as I slapped both of their heads,

"now let's go save the damn earth," I said raising my fist in the air. Benjamin and Marcus gave each other a look. I pouted.

"Ah you're so cute babe," Marcus cooed while walking towards me. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulders.

While blushing like crazy, I was immediately protesting to be put down. I shot a glance at Benjamin. His whole demeanor seemed to have changed the moment Marcus threw me on his shoulders. He looked irritated with what was happening.

"MARCUS PUT ME DOWN, YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!!," I screamed. He just chuckled and kept patting my butt in a rhythmic pattern. I just gave up and relaxed on his shoulders, looking like a spaghetti string swaying from a fork.
