The drive to the museum was fairly silent with the exception of the air vents blowing out air, and the turning signals coming on every time Aura needed to merge into another lane or make a turn.
The silence wasn't deafening—it wasn't quite uncomfortable, but she was silently wishing someone would start a conversation at least so they could get to know each other better.
Each time she had to stop at a light, she found herself looking at Abel through her mirror. He was almost always looking at his phone so he never caught her staring. Steven was too busy reading a book to even notice.
She watched Camari's car merge into the exit lane off of the highway and carefully followed. She stopped behind them and flicked her turning signal on again, grabbing her now ringing phone.
"Hello?" She chuckled seeing Landon look at her through the back window and wave.
"Yo, hurry up and pass the blunt! Hogging ass fool!" Camari yelled in her ear before answering. "We're almost there. There's like a little arcade and shit across the street from it though—Coi wanted to know if y'all wanted to go there instead and just come back to the museum this weekend like she originally planned."
Aura let out a gentle hum glancing over at Steven and shyly at Abel. Both weren't paying an ounce of attention to the phone call taking place. They were were both still very much into their phone or book at the moment. She decided not to ask if they were cool with it and agreed with Coiline's change of plans.
After they hung up, the light turned green and the cars turned the street driving straight down until they reached two parking lots on each sides of the busy street. Aura slowly turned into the arcade parking lot, cautiously driving around the somewhat busy area before finding a parking space conviently next to her friends.
"We're here," Aura announced, turning off her car and unbuckling her seatbelt.
Steven sighed in relief. "Oh, good. The silence was killing me."
They all stepped out leaving whatever they didn't want to carry around in their seats. "You know you could've talked then. No one was forcing you to shut up."
"Stevie was actually quiet in the car this time?" Landon goofily pushed his friend's shoulder. "I find that hard to believe. This nigga could talk Cleopatra alive and then back to death if he wanted to."
Steven smacked his lips as they began to chuckle. "It's always you.. nappy hair ass."
"And somehow, I still gets all the bitches."
"The prostitutes in Grand Theft Auto doesn't count."
"Okay!" Coiline stopped them, her laughs slightly overpowering everyone else's. "Let's get inside before we have to head back. You know curfew creeps around fast."
