Origins - Journey to Idaho

July 1st, 2018

Kaiden is sitting on one of the front couches. Hailey is sitting next to him. They both have expressions of annoyance, and Kaiden seems to be deep in regret. Why? Well in the back of the van, is Laurel, Tammy, and Katelin. The former two are arguing while Katelin is sitting on the couch with head phones in, not even phased.
"Just because you knew him longer doesn't make you entitled to his affections!"
"It doesn't, but that means I know him more than you do!"
"If you truly did, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
"Stupid blonde!"
"Obnoxious whore!"
Kaiden can't take this any longer.
"Oi, you both better shut up or Keith will be stuck in Idaho for longer!" He yells.

Tammy and Laurel both promptly shut it. Laurel walks to the other side of the van and lays on the couch there. She takes out her phone and starts playing around on it. Tammy sits down right next to Katelin. She pouts, but stays quiet. Katelin briefly looks up but then looks back at her phone. Tammy is staring daggers at Laurel who's not paying her any mind. Tammy crosses her arms and then starts leaning on Katelin. Katelin briefly reacts but then looks back at her phone again, but now more aware.
The van continues to make it's way down the highway in silence, with the exception for the sounds of phones and Kaiden and Hailey unsubtle flirting. Tammy yawns, as the argument from earlier has made her tired. She's still leaning on Katelin, but her eyes droop. She slowly closes her eyes and falls asleep. She's resting on Katelin's shoulder and her snores are quiet, yet cute. Katelin looks up once again and looks at Tammy. She blushes and slowly reaches over to gently pats her head. A smile is formed on Tammy's face and she blushes. Katelin eventually then stops and goes to look back at her phone when she's notices that Laurel has been watching. She quietly gestures a zipper over her mouth and winks. Katelin quickly looks back at her phone in embarrassment.
