Annabelle

I'm proud to say that, after a half hour with Gabriella driving, we are still alive and well. She's actually getting the hang of it! Mack and I were joking around, and the experience was turning out to be kind of fun. We had no idea where we were going, but knew sure as heck when we had to be back. Before sunrise.

I opened my weather app on my phone and started to poke around. "Sunrise at 6:50 AM." I announced.

"That's plenty of time to get in trouble, out of trouble, and into trouble again!" Mack remarked. Gabriella laughed softly. It was the first we'd heard out of her the whole time, since she's been so focused on driving.

"You okay?" I asked Gabriella.

"Yeah, this is starting to get easier." She half-grinned and kept her eyes focused on the road. However, I did see her shoulders relax a bit. I knew that she was getting comfortable.

"Can I try driving?" Mack asked.

"NO." Gabriella and I both replied in unison. We both knew that me or Mack driving was a bad idea. She would be the reckless driver, and I would be the worrisome driver that went 5 MPH. It was best to let Gabriella handle it. Besides, she was the one with the license! Or her sister's license, I should say.

"Then where are we going?" Mack asked.

"Somewhere," Gabriella replied in a singsong voice, lifting her eyebrows slightly. I knew that she had come up with something.

"Food?" Mack asked. I heard her stomach growling. Opening the glove box, I found a peanut butter bar and threw it back towards her. "Yesss," She opened the package hungrily.

"Seriously, where are we going?" I asked Gabriella. Mack backed me up through a mouthful of peanut butter.

"Yeah, where are we going?" Little peanut butter crumbs spewed everywhere.

"Ew, gross!" I brushed them off of me and the black leather.

"Quincella's!" Gabriella exclaimed.

"You got us into Quincella's?" Mack and I gasped at the same time.

"Apparently they're not very busy this late." Gabriella shrugged and continued to display her focus towards the road ahead.

"How are we gonna pay?" I asked.

"Yeah, that place costs a fortune." Mack added.

"Is this enough?" To my amazement, Gabriella took one whole hand off the wheel, pulled a giant stack of cash out of her pocket and didn't even crash the car. Mack and I sat up, mouths agape.

"Where'd you get all this?" I said breathlessly.

"I saved up. " She smiled.

"Good, cuz I'm starving!" Mack laughed.
