I was way too excited, I was never this excited to hang out with Lottie when she asked, so why was I so excited to hang out with Zeke? I wonder if Zeke is his real name or a nickname, I should ask..

But anyway, I need to leave, the park isn't too long of a walk, only 10 minutes, but still I needed to get going. I opened my door and headed out, starting to walk on the sidewalk.

I wonder what Zeke's house is like, I wonder if he has siblings, I have two siblings, Axel, and Isabelle, but we obviously call her Izzy, I wonder if he'd be nice to Izzy, probably.

And just like that, while I was consumed in my thoughts, I had arrived to the old abandoned daycare, though kids still played on the playground, as it was fully functional and open, so when I arrived I saw Zeke holding a small girl in his arms while bossing around another girl. Both girls looked almost identical and looked around the same age, maybe 6-7.

"Hey Zeke," I greeted him, waving, "Who are these cuties?" I continued while smiling at the two younger girls, the one standing next to Zeke instantly ran up to me, "Hi! Are you Zeke's friend?? My names Devyn! And this is my sister Delaney." The little girl pointed to the other little girl in Zeke's arms, "Hi Devyn, Hi Delaney," I formally greeted them, keeping a mental note that Devyn has a mole right in front of her ear and Delaney has a beauty mark right above her eyebrow, "And yes, I am Zeke's friend." I said, answering the girls original question.

"Wow, your eyes are so pretty." I heard the small girl in Zeke's arms beam. I audibly chuckled at her demeanor, "Thank you Delaney." I said to her, "What's your name?" Devyn asked me, "Oh, sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my names Mason." I finally looked up and saw Zeke smiling at me stupidly, I smirked back at him holding the little girl in his arms, he giggled slightly.

"My mom said I had to bring them with me, because 'they needed to get outside more'" He mocked his mother with a condescending voice, I yet again chuckled slightly, "How old are you guys?" I asked, curious to their ages. "We're both 8! We're identical twins! Isn't that the coolest?" Devyn exclaimed with much implied enthusiasm, "That's like the second coolest thing I've ever heard!" I squatted slightly to her eye level, "What's the first coolest!?" She asked.

   "Probably when I saw identical quadruplets." I said with a finger to my chin as if I was contemplating it, "WOW!! Isn't that like 3??" Delaney asked curiously, she was now also standing in front of me, "No, it's actually 4." I informed her, her face lit up even more as did Devyns. "That's so cool! What were their names?" Devyn asked, "Samuel, Simon, Sawyer, and Sebastian." I replied insightfully, "Woah, so they were all boys?" Delaney asked, "Yep, nobody could tell them apart except for me." I said proudly.

   Devyn got a look as if she just got an idea, "Close your eyes Mason!" She said mischievously, I closed my eyes and heard a lot of whispering.

   I finally heard Zeke say, "Okay, you can open your eyes now," I opened my eyes to see the girls had switched clothes and were looking at me with smirks, "They'd like to see if you can tell them apart." Zeke smirked at the girls.

  "Well, I mean they are wearing different clothes so I obviously will be able to tell them apart." I said cockily, as if I didn't realize they switched clothes, they started to giggle at my 'cluelessness'. I walked up to the girls and saw Delaneys beauty mark, then I pointed at her and said, "Your Delaney," then I pointed at Devyn, "And your Devyn." I chuckled as I watched their eyes widen, and Zeke even looked impressed, "How did you tell us apart! Nobody can tell us apart! Not even Zekey!" Devyn exclaimed shocked, "A magician never reveals his secrets," I said slyly, then I looked at Zeke, "You can't even tell your own sisters apart?" I looked at him with a disappointed face.

   He looked back and rubbed his neck slyly, "Their identical!" He said, trying to defend himself. "Yeah, yeah," I said, "Let's go?" I continued, "Oh, yeah, let's." He answered. We started to walk to his house, and when we finally arrived I saw that his house was a medium sized tan house with a darker brown roof, he had a cool red door too.

   "Welcome to my humble abode." Zeke said as we walked into his house. It was a nice looking house, really clean and the colors consisted of brown white grey and black, and some other fun colors here and there. I liked it, "C'mon my rooms this way." He said ushering me towards the hallway, "Wait just a minute! I want to meet your new friend Zekey!" A new voice that sounded like a women echoed throughout the house, Zeke sighed loudly before a shorter blonde women with brown eyes made her way up to me.

   "Hi! You must me Mason!" She greeted me with a wide smile, "I'm Ezekiels mom." She finished saying. So his name was short for something. "Yep, that's me." I smiled back to her, inviting conversation, "You are just so handsome! And so respectful!" She complimented me, "Zekey you should be more like him!" She turned her attention to Zeke, "Thank you Mrs.." I hesitated over the last name, as I didn't know their last name yet, "Just call me Marissa honey." She said cheerfully, "Ok Marissa." I replied with a smile, "Okay mom, can we go to my room now please." Zeke asked with pleading eyes, "Yes, yes, you can go, but I'd like to talk to Mason at some point!" She said, Zeke then grabbed my hand, which made my stomach twist, and dragged me off to his room.

   "Sorry about my mom." He said while closing the door to his room, "Huh, there's nothing to be sorry about! And I like your mom, she seems really nice!" I replied cheerfully, "Really? Every time I have a friend over they complain about my mom, it gets kinda annoying, 'cause I love my mom." He said slightly agitated, "Yes really, your mom seems really nice! Y ella es hermosa." I said, half in Spanish as I forgot to say it in English, "You know Spanish?" Zeke exclaimed, "Uh yeah, I'm like half Mexican, my dad spoke English to me and my siblings, while my mom spoke Spanish." I explained sorta embarrassed I slipped up with my English.

   "That's so cool!" Zeke exclaimed, "I barely know Spanish, I only know like Hola and easy stuff like that." He said coily, I chuckled loudly, he chuckled shyly, "So you can fluently speak Spanish?" He asked me, "Sí." I replied, hoping he'd know what that meant, "Ok, say stuff in Spanish then." He 'challenged' me, I'm sure he believed me, he just wanted me to speak Spanish, I'm not sure why though. "Tu habitación es bonita." I complimented, "What does that mean?" He asked me, "I just said your room is nice." I chuckled at his demeanor. Zeke cleared his throat, "So um, you wanna play Mario Kart on my switch?" He asked, "I though we came here to play on your new ps4." I said mocking his original texts, "I just got it so it doesn't have any games yet, sooo, Mario kart on the switch?" He said slightly whining, "Yeah sure." I laughed.

   "Aunque te voy a patear el culo." I said in Spanish, "Heyyyy, what does that mean?" He asked sulking while setting up the game. I plopped down in his bean bag chair, "I guess you'll never know." I replied slyly, "Was it something rude?" He asked, begging to know what I said, "Might've been." I replied simply, he gave up from my reluctance to tell him what I said.

   We played Mario kart and super smash bros for the rest of the day, it was so much fun, I didn't think about Lottie the entire time, and just had fun. There were a lot of moments where I got that stomach ache feeling again, but it went away, I'll need to think about that.
