"Hey, Johnny?" I tap lightly on his door. There was no answer so I slowly opened the door and peeked in. He was laying on his stomach, facing away from the window, fast asleep. I walk over and climb into the bed to lay beside him.
"Johnny?" I whisper. He lets out a groans turning his head into the pillow.
"Johnny, come with me to the farmer's market."
"Hell nah."
"Please?"
"Why can't you go to a grocery store like normal people, man?" he turns to face me.
"Because I don't like all the plastic. Please, you'll be the bestest friend ever?"
"Ugh, you're lucky." he sighs, getting up.
"Thank you!"
He quickly gets ready and we head out. The farmer's market wasn't far from the house so we walked.
"Why is there so much random stuff here?" he asks, gesturing to some stands.
"It's the farmer's market, Johnny. So, people rent the booths and then sell their stuff."
I grabbed some fruit and veggies to last me the week and Johnny picks out some weird fruit thing, before we start walking back to the house.
"Have you talked to Paige?"
"Nah, but I think Charlie is seeing her sometime." he shrugs.
"Johnny! Stella!" we snap our heads to see Briggs and Mike walking towards us.
Johnny jogs over to the pair as I stroll over.
"Working on the new Mike." Mike says when I reach them.
"That sounds like a lot of work, bro." Johnny jokes.
"Be nice." I tell him.
"You guys up for a little Hector's?" Briggs asks.
"Hell yeah."
"Sure." I smile.
"What's Hector's?" Mike asks.
"What's Hector's?" Johnny and Briggs ask unison.
"Well, he did just move here, guys." I remind them.
We all walk over to Hector's and Briggs greets him. Johnny pretends to fight Mike who shoos him. Briggs begins ordering the food and Hector starts to get to work.
"You ever had a taco so good you saw God?" Johnny asks, wrapping his arm around Mike.
"Can't say I have."
"Oh, my brother, you're about to join a cult." Briggs says.
"They are very good." I agree.
"How you doing, Stella?" Hector asks.
"I'm good, how are you?"
"Eh, can't complain." he laughs.
Suddenly, Hector is out of the truck yelling at some kid who stole a bag of chips. The kid punches Hector and gets on his board, riding off. Mike goes into action mode and starts chasing after the kid.
"Mike! Mike!" Briggs screams after him.
"Are you alright, Hector?" I ask him, bending down to him.
"Johnny, stop him right now." Briggs demands. And with that he's off.
The small crowd surrounds Hector and Briggs takes off after Johnny.
