Chapter 10

"Dumb dumb."

"Ow!" I exclaimed rubbing my arm where Ambrose punched me. "That's what you get for calling me a dumb dumb." Ambrose smiled smugly. I shot him a glare, narrowing my eyes at him. I should punch that smile off his face. "You call me Peach all the time." I huffed. "Ok ok, that's fair." Ambrose shrugged.

I started packing up my books, since it was our last class of the day and I'd already finished the work.

"Call later?" Ambrose asked, swinging his bag over his shoulder. "Yea." I replied, standing with my bag.

"C'mon." I pulled Ambrose with me. I wanted to go home to crash on my bed and stay on FaceTime with Ambrose all day until we both fell asleep on call after 12am. "Wait!" Ambrose paused. "I just remembered," a big smile spread over his face.

"Mark is waiting for us." Ambrose said. I stopped walking and turned towards him, giving him a confused look waiting for him to tell my why Mark would be waiting for us and not him. Mark is his driver that I hired for him to drive him wherever he pleases.

"Ok so I was feeling ice cream and found a real nice place near by. It's small, kind of hidden, really great aspiring business so not many people know of it yet. Secluded, just how you like, blah blah blah." Ambrose said. It was only a couple minutes before the bell rang, and so no one was really in the parking lot yet.

I pondered my options, A. Go home and be miserable and tired because I can't sleep until 12, or B. Go get ice cream with Rosy and go home whenever leaving less time for me to feel miserable and tired. I think I'll go with option B. I want ice cream.

"Ok." I smiled, I grabbed Ambrose's hand and we both ran to Mark's car.

Pulling the door to his sleek and shiny black car open, I hopped in and Ambrose followed. "Where to Miss Peach?" Mark grinned in the rear view mirror. I glared at Ambrose but ignored the fact that he probably told Mark to call me that. "The Alice in Wonderland ice cream shop." Ambrose grinned, ignoring my glare.

"Alrighty sir." Mark turned on the car and pulled out.

I took the chance to slam my fist into Ambrose's arm as he groaned, holding his arm in pain. "I should've seen that coming." He mumbled.

"Hey!" Ambrose exclaimed as I literally pulled his hoodie off of him. He had a shirt underneath so he'll be fine. I want his hoodie though.

I stuck my tongue out at him and slipped on my new hoodie. It smelled like Ambrose. "That's like the 6th one you stole from me this month." He pouted.

"Quit pouting you have unlimited money Ambrose you could buy all the hoodies in the world if you wanted." I said. I shoved more of my mint chocolate chip ice cream in my mouth. "Switch?" I said, after swallowing. Ambrose nodded and spun the cup around so he had my side of ice cream and I have his cookie monster ice cream. This place was one of those places that was cheap but gave huge fucking cups, and so me and Ambrose both shared a medium with half mint chocolate chip and half cookie monster. This place was really cool, because not only did they give huge amounts of ice cream for small amounts of money, they had cool flavors like cookie monster, which was actually blue with little chunks of cookie dough in it. The entire shop was decorated in an Alice in Wonderland theme, and they played songs that went well with the theme too.

This is my new favorite place to get ice cream. The owners were lovely people too. There was Mrs. Bonnie, a single mother, and her 3 sons, Jeremy, Auggie, and Ethan. They were all 21, 17, and 19. They were all really nice.

Me and Ambrose stayed for a while. We ended up doing our homework together and Auggie and Ethan sat with us doing their homework as well. They were all homeschooled, but they still had to do work. Ethan was doing college work on his laptop. Jeremy stayed at the counter, watching the cash register and giving us free ice cream. Me and Ambrose ended up eating two cups of ice cream. They were really huge.
