Chapter 2: Mark's house of weiners

For the name of a hotdog restaurant, Mark's house of Weiners had to be by far the weirdest
name out there. At first I thought it was a weird place by just hearing the name, but once we got
inside I felt... The exact same way.

"Heyyyy! Matt!" A big burly guy with a dirty apron came to the counter smiling. He was Mark. I
new this because of his name tag, but also because he was the only one working.

"Yo Mark!" They did a weird handshake thing, before Mark said his greetings to the other two.
Finally he looked at me.

"Who's this?" Mark scanned me over with his eyes. I'm glad I'm not a girl, other wise I would
have thought he was doing differently...

"I'm Ryan..." I said with a small voice. "I just moved here around a month ago..."

Mark kept on staring at me with a blank expression until he finally piped up. "Well welcome to
the town Ryan! I'm Mark!"

"I could tell..."

Mark grew a huge smile. "I like this kid already! Now what do ya want?" I scanned the menu on
the wall for something that sounded edible. After a minute or two I decided to go with something
plain and simple. A chili dog. "Good choice!" Mark winked at me before heading back to make
our orders.

Once that was done, we all sat in a booth and awkwardly stared at each other. I decided to
check my phone, and that's when I realized I forgot to tell my mom we were at some weird
hotdog place. Immediately sent her a message saying that I was fine and that I was out with
friends in the town.

"Here ya go lads!" Mark came over with a tray of some of the best smelling hotdogs ever. "Don't
worry about paying! It's on the house! Consider it a welcome!" Mark smiled before heading back
into where ever he went.

"Well, let's eat up!" I took a bite and my god. These actually tasted amazing! I'm glad these
hotdogs were huge, otherwise I would have died. "These are great!"

Matt nodded. "I can't believe you got some lame chili dog! The BabyDestroyer is the best!"

"What the actual fuck! The baby destroyer!?!"

"Dude calm down!" Matt started laughing. "It's not what you think! Imported baby meat is only
legal when you're eating Egyptians, and this is an all American burger soooooo..."

"WHAT!?" I looked at my hotdog with new eyes. "Is this made out of Egyptian babies?"

Matt was laughing so hard that soda actually came from his nose. I looked at everyone else,
and they were laughing just as hard. And that's when I realized why they were laughing so hard.
Man I am stupid.

"Never mind..." I shook my head. "I can't believe I am so-"

"Gullible?" Matt cut in.

"Retarted?" Jawan burst out into laughter.

"If you two wouldn't have rudely interrupted me, I would have said.. Wait Matt was right..."
Matt grinned with a mouthful of hotdog in his mouth. Gross.

"That's disgusting!" Grace punched Matt's arm. "Now after this, what are we doing?"

"I say we go the mall." Jawan took a sip from his soda. "I wanna go get Sunset Overdrive."

"Yeah that's cool in all but no one has money but you Jawan..." I checked my pockets and sure
enough Grace was right. I had no money, and Matt had no pockets... How did he expect to buy
hotdogs if only Jawan had money?

"Fine." Jawan sighed and pulled out his iPhone. "It's only 6:30 and I want to do something!"

"How about we go home and get money?" Matt said with a matter of fact tone. "Then we can go
to the mall and buy things!"

"Matt your a genius!" Jawan laughed. "Alright I'll meet you guys in the mall. Grace you stay with
Ryan. He'll get lost. Matt are you gonna stop by your dads store?" Matt nodded. "Ok cool!
Autobots roll out!"

*+*+*+*+*+*

After we finished eating, we split up and went to our desired destinations. Grace showed me
the way back to our neighborhood, and the moment I got home my mom was there waiting with
a billion questions, but once she saw grace she stopped talking and smiled.

"So are you in Ryan the only two hanging out?" My mom said in a overly happy tone.

"No ma'am," Grace started giggling for some odd reason. "There are two other guys there."

"Oh ok..." My mom seemed kinda disappointed.

"Mom I'm grabbing money and then we need to head out!"

"Wait where are you going?"

"The mall, "Grace cut in. "Then we'll probably go hang out at Jawan's house. He lives down the
street."

"Do his parents know you are coming?" My mom gave her a questioning look, and Grace just
shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. Though she treats me like a daughter, so it's fine."

"Ok... Well Ryan do you have your phone?"
I nodded.

"Is it all charged up?"

I nodded again.

This time my mom took a second to think before she responded. "Fine. And when you come
back get your sister!"

"Yes mom!" I ran upstairs grabbed my wallet and was out the door with Grace. I could tell this
was going to be a fun night.
