FEEL FREE TO COMMENT DOWN ANYTHING

(I THINK I have checked it enough)

I actually have no idea where this story is going T_T

Ezra POV

I was digging through my bag, searching for some headphones.

When I grabbed something else.

Something unfamiliar...

I pulled it out.

It was a violet colored comb.

This isn't mine...

Who does it belong to?

I recognize it but-

Wait.

I recognize it very well.

It's Maudie's...

I have no idea how it got in my bag.

I should probably return it to her...

I brought the comb closer to my face.

I could see strands of Maudie's brown hair.

It also smells like Maudie's hair.

Rose caramel.

I closed my eyes and took another whiff.

"What are you doing?" Kyle asked.

I nearly got a heart attack.

"Kyle, you scared me. Back from the bathroom?" I said trying to distract him from what I just did.

"Yeah yeah, but why are you smelling that comb?" Kyle asked with suspicion.

"Uh-uh....." I muttered.

WHAT AM I GONNA ANSWER?

"Uhmm It smells good?..." I said.

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"Fine fine, Its Maudie's. It somehow ended up in my bag." I said.

"And your sniffing it?.." Kyle asked.

"Yes- No. Shut up." I said.

"Your a fucking creep. But your Maudie's creep." Kyle said with a grin.

I rolled my eyes.

I clutched the comb tightly and shoved it in my pocket.

"I'm going to Maudie's house to give it back. I know how much this comb means to her." I said.

"Great, can I come?" Kyle asked.

I sighed.

"Sure, why not?" I said.

"I'll watch the romantic drama from afar. Should I grab some popcorn before we go??" Kyle said.

"Oh please don't..." I said.

"Bitch, you already know that I fucking will." Kyle said.

"Instant regret." I said.

"So when are we going to go?" Kyle asked.

"Now." I said.

"Great, lets spruce you up a bit before we go." Kyle said.

"Spruce me up?" I asked.

"Your not going to impress Maudie with that.." Kyle said.

"I don't have to impress Maudie. Plus, what am I going to wear? A suit?" I snarked.

"That's not such a bad idea." Kyle said.

"Please tell tell me your kidding." I said as I looked at him.

"I totally am. Just fix your hair, it looks like a birds nest." Kyle said.

"Whatever, lets just go.." I said as I stood up.

"Wait, do I need to change?" Kyle asked.

"No, are YOU trying to impress Maudie?" I asked as I pulled out my phone from my pocket.

I unlocked it.

"Definitely not, I was just asking." Kyle said.

"Good, I'll text her that we're coming over-" I said as I scrolled through my contacts.

Kyle suddenly snatched my phone

"What are you doing!? Give it back." I asked as I tried to grab it from him.

But he was too fast.

dodging everyone of my snatches.

"Hello Ezra, why'd you call?" Maudie said.

I then realized that Kyle had called Maudie.

Kyle grinned and tossed me my phone.

I barely caught it.

"Hello? Ezra, are you there?" Maudie asked.

I froze.

Then I spoke.

"Yeah, sorry. SOMEONE stole my phone..." I said as I glared at Kyle.

Who gave an innocent look.

"Kyle's shenanigans again?" Maudie asked.

"How'd you know its Kyle?" I asked.

"Kyle's is basically the only adult that does immature things like that." Maudie said.

Kyle looked offended.

"Fair point." I said.

"So, did you need anything or?.." Maudie asked.

"Ah, yes. Where are you right now?" I asked.

"At home, why?" Maudie asked.

"I found your comb in my bag and-" I said.

"Oh that's where my comb went, I was looking around my house for it all day. Thank god its with you." Maudie said with a sigh of relief.

"Yeah I know how important this is to you. I'm planning to drop it off at your house." I said.

"Oh, you don't have to go all the way here just to bring my comb-" Maudie said.

"NO, Its totally fine. Kyle and I were planning to have dinner at the plaza anyways.." I said.

"We were?-" Kyle asked.

I covered his mouth.

"Well okay then. See you guys later." Maudie said.

"See ya later alligator." I said as I quickly ended the call.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT THE FUCK IS 'SEE YA LATER ALLIGATOR'?

"Are we really having dinner at the plaza?" Kyle asked.

I looked at him with an annoyed look on my face.
