Chapter Text
One thing Eric always hated about the winter was how the sun rose so late. Rolling out of bed, he made his way to the bathroom to fix his bedhead. Being back from winter break meant going back to school. College had been a bitch so far, but at least he had his friends.
Going to their usual meeting spot, Kenny waved to Eric from his old beat up truck. “Dude! Get in, you’re gonna be late!” He laughed, opening the passenger side door. He was always the first to show up for the carpool to school, so he always got shotgun.
The drive to pick up Kyle was uncomfortably quiet, aside from the slight crackling and faint music playing from the radio. Kyle looked over at Eric, sighing before speaking up. “Yo, Eric, you gonna say something?”
Eric jumped hearing his name, turning to look at Kenny. “Shit- Sorry man, guess I got lost in thought”
“I didn’t know you could think, fatass”
“Shut up, poor boy”
The two shared a laugh, Kenny playfully punching Eric’s shoulder.
Then there was silence again, which Kenny clearly wasn’t happy about, but he didn’t say anything.
Eric just pulled his vape from his pocket, cracking open the window as he took a hit from it. The smell of artificial strawberry filled the air even as he blew the smoke towards the window.
“Let me get a hit,” Kenny said, sticking out his right hand towards Eric, who just slapped the vape into his hand. “Fuckin’ sweet”
The two would end up passing the vape back and forth until they got to Kyle’s place, Kenny pulling into the driveway and honking the horn.
Kyle ran outside with Stan, still pulling on his hoodie. Once they climbed into the backseats and buckled in, they were off.
“Aw really guys?” Kyle pinched his nose, waving his hand. “You’ve been fucking vaping all the way here?”
“Yeah, and?” Eric said, hitting his vape and blowing it towards Kyle to make a point. “You’re such a pussy dude, it’s just scented air”
“Scented air that’s gonna give you cancer someday” Kyle commented, leaning against the door and looking out the window.
