Roommates

Chapter 22

I turned around, and my eyes widened. "Uncle Ronny!" I somewhat shouted excitedly. I stood up quickly and went over to hug him.

"Nice to see you too kid," he said as we pulled apart from the hug.

"So introduce me to your new friends?" He asked looking at them eyeing a few of them. Probably his non-existent father side coming out. 1 girl and 11 guys that might not look right.

"Guys this is my Uncle Ronny. The one who is going to fix Alex's car." I heard a few hey's and hi's.

"This is Zach, Blake, Grayson, Ethan, Jake, Quinn, Peter, Lucas, Jamie, and you remember Derek," I said pointing to each one as I said their names. I really need a girlfriend.

"And this," I said walking over to Alex. "Is Alex. The one who got his car scratched up. He's also my roommate." I explained.

"Don't worry, you're car is in good hands now. It will be done by tomorrow at this rate." Uncle Ronny assured. I think I saw Alex let out a breath of relief.

"So why are you here Uncle Ronny?" I asked trying not to sound rude.

"Well I know you like Panera, so I thought you would be here." I laughed awkwardly. Didn't need to expose me like that.

"You know me so well."

"Yeah. I remember when you were this small." He said and put his hand near his knee. I think he saw how I was reacting and just took it as a cue.

"Anyways, I should get going. I have work to do. It was nice seeing you and Derek again. Also nice to meet you guys." He turned and walked out. As soon as he did, our food came. Once we finished our food everyone agreed on just going back to the house.

"So we have a small problem with the car situation." I pointed out.

"We could all just take the only car left," Blake suggested.

"I'm fine with that if we can even all fit," I said as I looked at the car that now looked 10x smaller.

"It might be a tight fit though." We are trying to get 14 people in an 8 person car.

"Yeah, whatever. I, Blake can do this." Blake said confidently.

"I'll drive, Zach can be in the passenger seat. In the middle row, we can put Jake, Lucas, Peter, and Alex. The twins and Jamie can go all the way in the back. Justin, Jack, and Derek if you could sit on the floor in the very back. Lana and Quinn, you get to sit on the floor or someone's lap in the middle row." Blake explained.

Everyone nodded, but the boys in the back were sort of hesitant because they had to sit with them. I really don't know why we have to take them. Couldn't we just leave them on the side of the road? Everyone got in and the only people left were Quinn and me.

"Ok, Quinn where are you going?" I asked looking at him.

"Uh, I think I'll go on the floor by Jake or Lucas." I nodded as he got in and sat down in front of Jake.

"Ok I am not sitting on the floor so who's lap am I sitting on," I asked looking at Peter, Alex, and Lucas. No one answered.

"Fine." I huffed and climbed in. I sat on the closest lap which was Alex of course. In the corner of my eye, I saw Peter look away and out the window. He definitely was just looking out the window the exact same time I looked over.

Soon we reached the house which is actually amazing. I honestly don't know how they afforded that because it seems a little too big for their money to buy. We all went inside and just laid all over the place. The couch was much more comfortable than someone's lap.

For the next few hours, we just laid around and talked amongst ourselves. Nothing too exciting it was just nice to have people to talk to.

"Alright, guys Lana and I should get going. We have class in a few days, and we need our rest." Alex stood up and stretched. I looked up at the part of his shirt that had risen up slightly but I quickly averted my eyes. No Lana.

A bunch of them said their goodbyes and we were heading out the door in the next ten minutes.

"What was that for you I was actually relaxed and calm." I crossed my arms over my chest in the passenger seat. He ignored me and started the car. At the same time Lucas, Peter, Jake, and Quinn came outside. I turned and saw Jake storming over to us. He went to Alex's window and knocked on it.

"You were going to leave us!" Alex cracked the window a little.

"Took you long enough." Alex unlocked the doors and they all got in. Why did I actually forget we were their only ride back. Once everyone was in Alex put the car in drive and right away we heard some strange noise. The car stopped suddenly.

"Oh great, you broke my car as well!" Peter threw his hands in the air annoyed.

"I didn't do anything asshole. All I did was stall it. Relax." I laughed a little seeing Peter all nervous back there. The car started working again in a few seconds and we were on the highway like nothing even happened.

That was until the car stalled again in the middle of the road. Smoke started coming out of the front. Peter was worried and he practically jumped through the window to get out of the car.

After some careful and well-thought-out observations we concluded that the car was indeed broken.

"Guys relax I think one of my friends can come to pick us up." I pulled out my phone and looking for the right contact.

"How many friends do you have Lana?" Lucas asked surprised.

"Friends, acquaintances who knows. Who knows when you need help." I laughed and clicked on his contact and call. It rang a few times before he picked up.

"Hello, Lana!" He greeting in a sing-song voice.

"Hey, Ashton." I mimicked his voice.

"what do you need Lana." He asked I could see him rolling his eyes right now.
