Nadwe sat in the back of the car, his head leaning against the window as the road flew past. He glanced at the two people in the front of the car. Laff a Twenty-four year old behind the wheel concentrating on the road. In the passenger seat sat Socksfor1 or Socks, a Twenty-five year old who was listening to music with his headphones. One in his ear, the other sitting in his lap. The music was loud and Nadwe could hear parts of it. If Nadwe had to label the two of them he would say that Socks was the most responsible person of the group even though Meme had a kid, Nadwe, Socks was always looking out for Nadwe and Muffin the two youngest members of the group. Although he was painfully oblivious. Laff was a shy British guy who loved to bake bread for some weird reason, probably because he used to bake so much for his parents when they worked at a diner that closed about a year ago due to lack of money. Another thing about Laff was he was constantly, and Nadwe meant constantly chasing after Socks. Nadwe shot a look at Muffin who was sleeping in the seat to the right of Nadwe. Muffin's head leaned up against the car door and he was snoring quietly. Nadwe glanced at Socks who was still blasting music in his headphones and wanted to see if he was paying attention.

"Socks, I'm bored." Nadwe complained almost instantly Sock turned back to look at Nadwe, his brown eyes sparkling and the scars on his face standing out.

"What do you need Nad?" Socks asked, smiling. Nadwe felt slightly intimidated and shrunk back in his seat.

"Where are we going?" Nadwe asked. Socks not noticing Nadwes reaction to his smile responded honestly.

"Laff and I are going to the phone store since mine is broken." Socks said, holding up his cracked phone. The screen was very hard to see and obviously it was uncomfortable to touch. "I'm lucky I was able to get music even." Socks exclaimed. "Plus Laff said he wanted to get me an early birthday gift." Socks told Nadwe. Laff, who had his gas mask sitting on the middle console, smiled at Socks. Nadwe wanting to change the subject leaned forward and held out his hand.

"Can I hear your music?" he asked, despite that it was still blasting from Socks headphones.

"Sure." Socks said, handing Nadwe his phone. Nadwe sat back with Socks phone in hand and stared at the wallpaper he had. It was a group photo of the gang. Nadwe placed an earphone in and looked at the song name, the tune had somewhat of a cheerful vibe although the lyrics were definitely dark. The name of the song was Sorry About Your Car. Socks glanced back at Nadwe, his face looked slightly worried as Laff turned onto a street.

"H-Hey nadwe can I have my music back?" he stuttered.

"Of course!" Nadwe said, handing Socks phone back he placed his headphones back in, (both this time) humming along to a different song. Nadwe scooted towards the middle seat and leaned forwards and glanced at Laff. "So Laff, do you want to talk about something?" Nadwe asked with a smirk.

"Like what?" Laff asked tilting his head then looked back at the road.

"Like your crush on Socks." Nadwe said. Laff's face flushed red and shook his head.

"A crush on Socks, Me?" He asked, chuckling awkwardly.

"Socks may be oblivious to it but I'm not." Nadwe said.

"Well Socks is sitting right next to us."  Laff said, waving his hand to Socks.

"Doubt he could hear us." Nadwe. The car sped forwards and Nadwe slid back into his seat and he knew that was Laff's way of saying, End of discussion.

They slowed down and pulled into a small plaza that had an Iphone store, a small thrift store, and a Pizza place that Nadwe had been to once or twice that had pretty decent pizza. Socks stepped out of the car and wrapped his headphones around his phone. Muffin jumped out of the car after Nadwe and both were met by Socks gripping their shoulders.

"You guys, if you need anything me and Laff will be in the Iphone store, meet back here in 20 minutes." Socks said he pulled out some money out of his jean pockets and handed both Nadwe and Muffin 10 dollars. "Buy whatever you want." he said, "Except things like drugs,-" Socks started.

Laff chuckled , "I think they get the point Socks."  Socks sighed and walked over to stand next to Laff.

"Do not leave this area." Socks commanded as Laff started leading him away. After a few moments of awkward silence Muffin finally spoke.

"So you want to go to the thrift store?"

"Sure." Nadwe shrugged, they started walking to the small thrift store and Nadwe held open the door. A small bell jingled  and Muffin walked inside. Nadwe instantly started walking towards the board game area interested in what could be there. Possibly some box of cards, Uno or otherwise. As he walked over he began looking through the shelves and saw a small purple box that caught his eye. He grabbed the box and turned it on its back, a few sentences that he read aloud.

"A set of fortune cards set them left from right in front of you and watch as the cards tell a story.If you want a new card flip it over and it will change unless its set in stone that thats supposed to happen.Lay them out blindly and it will show you what's going to happen" Nadwe said quietly.

"That sure does sound interesting."

Nadwe spun around and saw a female he recognized as Ally, she and Meme worked together. Her pastel hair was tied up in a white hair tie with a small bow.

"Oh hey Ally what are you doing here?" Nadwe asked.

"I need more hair ties and they come for super cheap here." She explained. "Anyways i'm gonna go see you later Nad." She said walking away. Nadwe opened the box as Ally left and sat down on the floor. He opened the box and saw the cards. He put them in a small pile and set four cards down. He flipped them over and the first image showed what looked like Socks and Laff talking. It looked like they were arguing Socks with his hands at his side and Laff pointing a finger at Socks. He flipped over the next card to see Socks turning to walk away from Laff and Laff with a hand extended as if he was calling out for Socks to stop. Nadwe flipped over the next card and saw Socks in a hospital hooked up to a heart rate monitor. Nadwe gasped quietly and quickly flipped over the next card it showed Socks with bandages wrapped around his head. He had a confused expression and Nadwe instantly packed up the cards and slid them into the box. He quickly walked over the cash register and bought them.
These could be very useful
