I sit up in bed with a happy smile, grabbing my phone and unlocking it with my thumbprint then switching to messages.

I get out of bed, going downstairs still in my Pj's right as my dad is about to leave. "Overnight?" I ask seeing the extra bag.

"Yup." He smiles and nods. "See you later." He kisses the side of my head, and leaves. I lock the front door behind him, then going into the kitchen. I grab a poptart from the cabinet and go upstairs, sitting at my desk as I unwrap it.

~~~~~~~~~

At 12, I skip down the stairs in my house then back up, grabbing my bag and shoes that I forgot then back down again.

I head outside to Kade's car, grinning as I open the door. "Good Morning, lovely Mafia friend."

I guess its not morning anymore

"I'm not in the Mafia." He says, the annoyance already clear as day.

He loves me.

"Wanna hear a fun fact?"

"No, I want you to shut up and enjoy the silence." He says, and I just smile and lean back in my chair.

"Where are we going?" I ask, barely lasting five seconds with silence.

"To lunch." He answers.

"Okay, but where?" I ask

"Shhh." Is all he responds, and I huff and cross my arms. He glances over at me, rolling his eyes and looking forward again.

Maybe I talk to much. People have told me that before. I don't really care. He wouldn't have picked me up if he didn't wanna hang out with me, right?

We get to a small, cute Cafe in the middle of the city and sit down near the back. "I've never been here." I tell him as I open the Menu. "Have you?"

"Once or twice." He mutters, and I hum then gasp excitedly.

"They have Milkshakes!" I tell him reading over the different options. "I bet they aren't as good as my favorite milkshake shops." I then tell him, looking up to see him just sitting back in his chair with his arms crossed. "Did you know one time I tried making homemade milkshakes? I blended up ice and milk then put in chocolate syrup...it didn't taste good. The ice melted and melted ice and milk isnt really good. So, I tried adding cherries, but I dropped the cherries, and the glass broke, and I stepped in it then I started crying because I didn't know if I was bleeding or if it was cherry juice."

He just stares at me, until our waitress comes up. "Good afternoon. Can I get you two some drinks?" She asks, smiling at Kade happily. "Good to see you, K." She then adds, and he nods at her.
