(I THINK I have checked it enough)

I swear this is not my best.

Maudie POV

"The plaza is a lot more crowded than usual.." I said as Ezra and I walked around the Plaza.

"Is it? I can't say much because I haven't been here in years." Ezra said.

"Yeah... There must be something going on today-" I said.

"I can't wait for the fireworks tonight!" One teen girl said as she walked by us with her friend.

Ezra and I stopped walking and looked at each other.

"The summer fireworks festival..." We mumbled in unison.

The summer fireworks festival.

Where Ezra and I had our first date as an official couple...

But,

Its in the past.

"Now we know I guess." I said as I continued walking.

Ezra caught up to me.

"Yeah." Ezra said.

"Oh, by the way. how is your love life?" Ezra asked.

"Honestly, sad." I said.

"Why?" Ezra asked.

"I never had a boyfriend since y-" I said.

I covered my mouth before I can say more.

"Sorry, what was that?" Ezra asked.

"Nothing." I said.

"Okay then..." Ezra said.

Ezra was the only boyfriend I ever had.

"What about yours?" I asked, trying to make him forget what I said.

"Oh, I had a Filpina girlfriend named Rosalyn once. I met her on the first day at work and we started dating after 2 months of talking. We dated for 7 months and made it official on one of our dates. It didn't last very long though.. After 3 months, we broke up because she loved someone else more. We ended on good terms and now we're Facebook friends." Ezra said.

"Thats.... good, you found someone but also bad you guys broke up." I said as I gritted my teeth.

Who is this Rosalyn?!...

I mean,

I am totally happy that he found someone.

"No its okay, Its actually good we broke up. I honestly feel that I didn't truly fully love her. It felt kind of.... wrong." Ezra said.

My eyes widened in slight happiness

"Oh really? Tell me more." I said.

"Don't get me wrong. She's attractive. She's pretty, smart and really sweet. But she was too much of a social butterfly." Ezra said.

"So she likes to socialize everyday or?.." I said

"Yes. She always wants me to join her. You know that I don't like to socialize with people that much." Ezra said.

"I know." I said as I smiled.

Ezra stopped walking.

"Looks like were here..." Ezra said.

We were standing in front of a big restaurant.

It was called 'Le forke'

It had a unique, funky and colorful design on the walls.

I definitely didn't expect this at all.

"This. This is a French restaurant." I said as I smiled in awe.

Ezra nodded with his mouth wide open.

"Lets go in. I'm curious to know what's inside." I said.

Ezra nodded.

Ezra and I walked into the restaurant.

Wind chimes graced our entrance.

Bubble gum pop played in the background.

The restaurant was very crowded.

"I think the owner doesn't know anything about french culture but I'm honestly not complaining. It's unique." I said as I looked around.

"I like the design too." Ezra said

We walked up to the counter and a teen girl popped out from the counter.

"Hey hey hey! Welcome to 'Le forke' I'm Harriet, what can I do for you today?" She asked with a big smile on her face.

"Hi, I haven't decided yet. Let me look at the menu. Give me a second..." I said as I looked at the menu board

30 seconds later...

"Ezra, lets share a large pizza." I smiled as I turned to him.

"Sure." Ezra.

"Okay coolzies, what will your toppings be?" Harriet asked.

"Peperoni." Ezra said.

"Pineapple." I said.

"Peperoni." I said.

"Pineapple." Ezra said.

Ezra and I looked at each other and laughed.

"Awh, you guys are so cute together? First date?" Harriet asked sweetly.

"Oh, no. We're just friends." I said.

"Too bad. You guys look so cute together. So, one large pizza. half peperoni, half pineapple. Do you guys want anything to drink?" Harriet said.

"I'll have a coke." Ezra said.

"Lemon tea for me." I said.

"Okay got it. I'll send you guys your food as soon as its made." Harriet said.

"Okay, thank you." I said.

Ezra and I started searching for a place to sit.

We finally found a free table by the window.

We sat down.

Ezra kept staring at me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked

"Maudie, I have something to tell you..." Ezra said.
