Chapter 8

"Yes! We're here!" Truly said as Alyssa parked the car at Denny's. "I'm starving."  

"Uh huh. I do get your food when you don't eat it all, right?" I asked her as George helped me out the car. 

"Yea, yea. Of course." 

"Whoo hoo!" I said, jumping on George's back. We entered the restaurant. 

"How many?" Asked the hostess. 

"Umm...5?" I looked at Miranda. She nodded. 

"Okay. Please follow me." She lead us to a booth in the back of the restaurant by a window. I quickly slid off George and slid into the booth by the the window. George slid in next to me as Alyssa slid in on the other side, followed by Miranda then Truly. A waiter walked up to us.  

"Hi. My name is Amy and I will be your server today. What would you guys like to drink?" She said, passing out the menus. 

"Coke." Alyssa said. 

"Pepsi." Said Miranda. 

Truly aske for Dr. Pepper and George had a coke. 

"Hot chocolate." Everyone turned to look at me. "What?"  

"It's 90°F outside and you want hot chocolate?" Truly asked. 

"Yes." Truly shrugged.  

"Okay. I will be back with your drinks." Amy said as her and the hostess walked away.  

"So. What has been going on?" George asked, putting his arm around my waist. I looked out the window.  

"Went school shopping yesterday." Miranda said. From the corner of my eye, I could see Alyssa looking at me. "What about ya'll?"  

"School shopping online."  

"Seems fun."  

"Okay. I have to GO. If Amy comes back tell her I want the turkey and gravy sandwich." I said. George slid out the booth as I followed.  

"I'll go with you." Truly said, getting out of the booth. We walked to the bathroom. When we entered the bathroom, Truly stopped me from going into the stall. "What happened yesterday?" 

"Nothing." I said looking down.  

"Dude, come on. You know you can tell me anything."  

"I know, but I cant tell you something when there is nothing to tell." I said looking into her eyes. She stared at me, searching my eyes. She sighed. 

"Okay. I believe you." I could tell she was lieing but she knew I wasn't gonna budge.  

"Thank you. Excuse me" I said, going around her to get to the stall. After I did my buisness I left the bathroom and walked back to the table. 

The food came, the only word spoken was "thanks". We ate in silence, we paid in silence, and we left in silence. 

I drove us to The Hangout with George in the front and the rest in the back. When we reached The Hangout, there was a black cady in the driveway that I assume is Eesa's car.  

The thing about The Hangout is that it is an abandon house. It is scary looking enough that normal people won't think twice about going exploring. (Good thing my friends and I aren't normal.) So it became the place where we exchange gossip, secrets, food, or if we just need a place to get away from everything, this is where we come. 

"So, this is The Hangout." I say to George and Truls as we walk in. I show them around the downstairs. when we reached the kitchen I told them the rules. 

"No touchie this cabinet. This is my cabinet. You touch, you die." I said, standing in front of a cabinet by the fridge. "No touching the mint brownie ice cream or the triple fudge ice cream. Those are mine."  

We walked into the living room. I pointed to the recliner chair in the corner. "You can sit in that chair when I'm not sitting in it, but when. I want to sit in it, you better move it." 

With that I went back to the kitchen, opened the freezer and grabbed my mint brownie and a spoon. I then made my way upstairs and to my room. When I reached my room, I shut my door, sat on my bed, layed back on my pillows and started eating my ice cream. 

I sat there eating my ice cream and thinking about what has happened these past few days. Roman kissing me. Roman licking my face. Roman, Ree, and I going shopping. Alyssa and Miranda surprising me. Roman sucking face with Adessa. Meeting Mark. Adessa bullying Ree. Me punching Adessa. Roman ditching us. Reuniting with George and Truly. 

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the thought of Roman kissing me, then a few days later, kissing Adessa. Did he kiss me because he thought it was funny? Was he with Adessa when he kissed me? Were they even together? And most importantly, why didn't he tell me? I mean, I am his best friend....right? We tell each other everything...but now that I think about it I haven't been a hundred percent honest with him about why Ree and I moved here. Oh what am I supposed to do?  

A knock on my, interrupted my thoughts. 

"Come in!" I yelled. The door opened and George walked in.  

"Everyone is downstairs getting ready to play truth or dare and they wanted to know if you wanted to play." He said, sitting on the edge of my bed. 

"I hate truth or dare." 

"yeah, me too." 

"I know." I said with a laugh. I handed him the container of ice cream. "Here. Take this downstairs. Tell them we aren't playing, and come back up and we shall have Alex and Georgie day...err...night?" 

He nodded yes and went downstairs. While I was waiting for him, I checked my phone and saw I had 2 text messages. 1 from Roman and 1 from grandma. I read the one from grandma first. 

G Ma: Are you staying the night at the hangout? 

Me: yes I believe so. 

I then read the one from Roman. 

Roman: Hey what's up? Wanna hang? 

Me: I'm kinda busy right now so no 

I put my phone away as George walked through the door with a. whole bunch of movies and candy in his hands.  

"What did they say?" I asked him as he turned on the tv amd DVD player and put a movie in. 

"they said OK," he said grabbing the DVD remote. "and that if they hear noises that they are gonna record it and post it on YouTube." 

I laughed and made some room on the bed as he got in. "Hand me the Snickers." 

We spent the rest of the night watching movies until we fell asleep.
