𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑'𝐒 front windows were rolled down, filling it once again with a satisfying breeze. The tired girl resisted the urge to lay her legs on the dashboard, knowing her dad wouldn't let that slide. He had just finished his pack, holding his last cigarette while driving.
[Name]'s bored eyes stared at the road. "Whose idea was it to have a barbecue at fall?"
Her dad shook his head. "Come on. Why do you have to be so down in the dumps all the time?"
"What does that even mean?"
"Just try and act happy when we arrive. It's the least you can do."
She scratched above her eye, in an effort to calm herself. It was like he viewed her as a nuisance. "Why did you want me to come with you in the first place? Don't you want to catch up with your old friend alone?", she took off her shoes and wrapped her arms around her knees, before adding, "since I bother you so much."
He sighed irritably at the comment, glancing at her. "Now why do you have to do that? You know that's not what I meant."
She stayed silent for a moment, still looking out the window. "So who is this friend?"
He didn't answer at first, wanting to resolve the small argument that began since this morning but also not wanting to bother at the moment as well. "He's a colleague of mine and an old classmate."
She leaned forward and turned the music up from the radio but her dad turned it off right after.

She forced herself to look at him, groaning under her breath.
"I don't want to argue with you. I just want to adjust here after what happened...", he sighed. "I know you need it too."
[Name]'s eyes softened when she noticed his expression. She didn't know exactly why she woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. Maybe it was because of the new environment or maybe the sudden lack of direction.
"Yeah, I guess so..."
They didn't say much on the rest of the ride, only asking why Richie and her uncles didn't come with them, which was answered by a rather half-assed excuse from Richie that he'd hang out with his friends.
