Yeesh.

I tried to be as quick as possible, within reason. My reason. Which is longer than average...
I try okay. But quick showers suck so no thanks.
I ran into Hunter after I left Aaron's room, and he gave me a strange look.
"What?"
"Why were y'all laughing so much last night?? Kept me awake."
Ooops.
"Oh shoot, sorry. Didn't know you could hear that easily."
"Well, not really, only when it's silent."
Ummm.
"So you were studying?"
"No, just reading before bed."
"So you weren't trying to sleep."
"...Eventually I was."
"Alright, usually you'd stay up later than us so it's not something I'd be conscious of. I'll be quieter, sorry." I smiled at him, a little confused.
He just nodded, looking like he wanted to say more.
Getting the feeling that's not what his actual problem is.
"Uh, I'm running late sorry!" I remembered what I was supposed to be doing and made my way down the stairs.
Aaron, Luca, Caleb and Chester were all in the kitchen when I walked in. Chester and Caleb were having a conversation, while Luca just sat there looking grumpy. And Aaron was pacing anxiously.
"Are you okay?" I wondered from behind him and he jumped, making me smirk in amusement.
"Finally! Do you ever rush?"
"Sorry, got distracted."
He just handed me an energy bar before collecting the keys. "Let's go."
Ha, he knows me so well.
"Don't even think about running off without me." Luca interjected and Aaron made an irritated face before turning towards him with a blank expression
That's hilarious.
"You're coming?" He questioned while Luca stood up and walked over to me.
"Yes, I feel like having someone who actually understands what's being said will be more productive." He snapped. Wow okay I know that's just designed to be a jab at Aaron but he just called me stupid too.
I mean...he ain't lying. But still.
There were a few moments where Aaron just stared at him, looking seriously pissed. He looked at me, then back to Luca, and closed his eyes, taking in a big breath.
"Okay great let's go." He smiled before walking out the door and I shook my head with a slight chuckle.
Luca looked down at me for a moment, before just walking after him.
Hm...does he want to talk or something?
"You're sitting in the back." Aaron stated, motioning to Luca, and they just stared at eachother stubbornly.
Oh lord help me.
"Why would I sit in the back? Seeing as I'm the one who actually has any use in this scenario."
"Because he likes me more." Aaron teased, I think, and I chuckled.
Luca looked seriously done with life.
Honestly I would offer to go in the back to diffuse the situation, but I didn't want them sitting next to eachother.
Come now children, behave.
