"drew stop, just because i'm better at this game doesn't mean you have to try and make me lose" i said. we were playing geometry life, and i was on level 4 while drew was on level 1 still.

"you're only at level 4 because you looked up a cheat code" he argued.

"no, you just suck"

"alright, stop arguing and get out" jodi said as my mom and her got out of the car.

once we entered the restaurant we asked for a table for four, and the waitress led us to a window booth.

my mom and jodi sat in on one side, and drew and i sat on the other facing them. i sat by the window, and drew next to me.

"hi, i'll be your waiter johnathan, what drinks i can get started for you" the waiter asked.

"i'll take water for now, and then when the food comes i'll take pepsi" i said.

"i'll take the same thing, but pink lemonade instead of pepsi" drew smiled.

our moms got water with lemons.

"eww, i don't know how you guys drink that tasteless lemon water" i said, when johnathan walked away.

"literally, it needs sugar" drew said.

they just shook their heads, looking down at their menus.

"so mija , what's this outer banks show about?" my mom asks.

my eyes widen, surprised that she asked after i told her i wasn't telling drew yet.

"what, omg that's so crazy because drew auditioned for outer banks as well" jodi said, surprising my mom and i.

and apparently drew as well, seeing as his eyes went wide as well.

"mom" drew and i said at the same time. the both of them looked at us with a questioning look.

"what? was i not supposed to say anything?" they both asked.

drew and i just shook our heads, and i covered my face with the menu.

soon enough johnathan came back and took our orders.

"we're gonna go wash our hands, give you guys some time to talk" jodi said as drew and i came back from the washing our hands.

we both sat in silence for a few seconds.

"so, i guess i'm not getting rid of you anytime soon huh?" i smiled.

"yeah, i guess you're stuck with me forever" he smiled elbowing me.

we both laughed.

"who's your character?" drew asked.

"avery reign, what about you?"

"oh so you're a pouge, i play rafe" he jokes.

"mmm, so you're a kook?" i say playfully.
"don't think we can sit next to each other" i say scooting closer towards the window.

"i don't wanna sit next to a pouge anyways" he says looking away from me.

we sit in silence, until i see a smile creep onto his face. then he bursts out laughing, making me laugh as well.

our moms came back with smiles on their faces, as they saw us laughing.

"care to share what's so funny?" my mom asks. 

we shake our heads, and laugh silently.

we made it home, and i went over to drew's to help him pack, since i was done packing. the only thing i had to do was remove my bed, dresser, and furniture from the living room and kitchen.
