plot: road trip plot: it’s spring break/graduation and we’re going on a roadtrip with all of our buddies except we have a crush on each other and it probably isn’t a good idea if we share the motel room but whoops everyone else has taken all the other rooms. bonus points if one of their exes is also on the trip/we are exes.
spring break. a much needed vacation for Phoebe. Unfortunately, the trip had been planned with her ex and their group of mutual friends, and while they had broken up, they didn't end on terrible terms. They were both just so busy with classes that things weren't working out. Her bag was packed, just waiting by the front door for her friends to arrive in the car they rented for their road trip. While she waited, she adjusted her clothes and hair anxiously, feeling jittery to get onto the road and away from her normal life for awhile.
It wasn't long before she heard the honk from outside, signaling that her friends had arrived. She ran out, her suitcase in hand. The trunk was waiting open, so she stuffed her bag in quickly before slamming it shut and turning to find a seat in the rented convertible. Her stomach dropped as she realized the only open seat was, of course, the one next to her ex. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, because she was totally fine, she climbed in next to him, settling at far away from him as she could. She could smell him from where she was, making it harder to ignore. They might have ended things, but his smell still comforted her. "Hello, everyone!" She greeted each of her friends before turning to him, "fancy seeing you here." she gave him a soft smile that didn't reach her eyes. She dropped her voice to a whisper, "are we sure this is a good idea?
