"You guys ready to hit the road?" Derek turned to you from the driver's seat of the familiar van, an eager look on his face.
JJ, Derek, Elle, Spencer and you were all around the same age. JJ was the sweetest, Elle was really sassy when she needed to be, Derek was a flirt, Spencer was the nerd and you... You were the glue of the group. Recently just graduated from university, the group decided to fulfill the adventure they've been planning to pull off for years.
"Who are we picking up first?" You smile, looking out the window at the view of your house. The air was hot, it's been sunny for the past few days. It was summer and everything felt fresh, full of possibilities and exciting.
"Reid." Derek said as he begun driving to Spencer's house. The relationship between you and Spencer wasn't ... typical. Well it was normal for the two of you, no big deal, right? who doesn't casually hook up with their friends and hide it from the rest of the group, right?
It all started when the group was partying at the bonfire, drinking and dancing around. Spencer had a stupid bandana on and sunglasses, like John Lennon's. Your back was against his chest and no one was really paying attention to the two of you, everyone was in their own world.
"Never have I ever kissed someone and hadn't regretted it." Spencer smirked, looking down at you. "I haven't." You say unamused, as if this wasn't that big of a deal. But to you, it sorta was. "Well would you regret it if I kissed you?" He had his typical mischievous look on his face, drunkenness but with the hint of something more as well. You shook your head no and the rest had become history. You made out in front of everyone (which you kept getting teased for and swore to never do it.) and kept causally hooking up, hiding it from the rest, while sneaking occasional kisses.
As you pull up to his driveway he rushes out with his bags. "Hey, hey hot people!" He smiled big and you rolled your eyes at how stupid he was picking up lingo from the rest of the group.
