Just Friends

24

One week later

It's been about a week since Sierras baby died, and things have been tough. Alex is doing good, though, and is supposed to be due any day now.

I was currently getting ready to go somewhere with just Kendall. I've been so caught up in my family and all the problems we are having, that I start to forget she is leaving for New York in two weeks.

Things are better at home, too. I'm back in with my mom and things are officially done with Richard. Everyone is finally getting along.

I took one final look in the mirror. I was wearing ripped shorts with a Krusty Krab shirt on. Me and Kendall were going to spend the day at Disneyland. I had my hair straightened, which I don't do very often, and grabbed my phone and my purse full of money before going downstairs.

"Mom, Kendall's mom just got here. We will be back later tonight!" I yelled through the house. I heard a faint, "I love you and be safe." Echo through the house. I laughed to myself and walked outside. "Are you ready to have a blast at Disney!?" Kendall screamed and she got shushed by her mom. "Kenny, be more quiet." She scolded and Kendall rolled her eyes because she absolutely hates when her mom calls her Kenny.

"Don't call me that. You make me feel like a boy." She mumbled and I tried my best to hold back my laughter, but I ended up coughing instead. Kendall turned around and shot me a death glare. I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed.

"You're such a baby." She said and I shrugged. "At least I'm not a boy." I said and she spun around and punched my knee. "Don't do that Kenny!" Her mom yelled, but this time I knew she said it just to make Kendall mad. We were both laughing while Kendall folded her arms over her chest and didn't talk to anyone.

"Awe, did I upset the baby boy?" I cooed and she stuck her middle finger up at me without her mom seeing.

My phone lit up and I looked to see that it was Hayes texting me. He asked where I was and I reminded him I was going to be with Kendall all day. He told me how he forgot and to have fun.

I put my phone back in my purse, just as we were arriving in Disney. It wasn't a long car ride considering it was only a half hour from
Chino.

"I'll be back to pick you up later. Have fun and don't talk to any strangers." Kendall's mom said. "Unless they're cute boys." Kendall said and her mom laughed before turning to me. "Yeah, why don't you help get Kenny a boyfriend. She seems lonely." She joked and stuck out her bottom lip.

"Maybe I don't have a boyfriend because my mom calls me Kenny." She mumbled and her mom shrugged. "When you become an adult, you can change your name if it bothers you that much." She said and Kendall sighed. "But I'm not an adult yet." She whined and her mom did a very sarcastic and dramatic sigh. "The struggle is very real." She said while shaking her head and me and Kendall both cracked up laughing.

"Don't ever say that again mom." Kendall said and her mom laughed. "Alright, now leave." She said and after Kendall pretended to be hurt, we started walking around.

"I'm going to take a picture with ever character here." I said, proudly, and puffed out my chest. Kendall laughed and we kept walking.

"SpongeBob!" I yelled and ran over to him once we found him and Patrick standing. "Look at my shirt!" I exclaimed to the man dressed as Spongebob while pointing to where it said The Krusty Krab. "I work there, ya know." I said, quite confidently. SpongeBob started freaking out and me and Kendall just laughed.

I took a picture with both of them, as did Kendall. We continued to walk around and eventually decided to stop for pizza. While we were eating, sponge bob came up to us. I was going to say something when he removed his mask to reveal a cute boy around mine and Kendall's age.

I smiled and right when I opened my mouth to introduce myself, Kendall jumped right in front of me and shook his hand. "Why hello there. My names Kendall, it's nice to meet you." She rushed out and sponge bob laughed.

"My names Ryder." He said and they continued shaking hands. "And you are?" He turned to ask me, and yet again, Kendall beat me to it. "She is taken, so let's just let her eat in peace while she misses her boyfriend." She said and I laughed. "I'm Sam." I said and he smiled.

"What brings you over here?" I asked him and he shrugged. "You both seemed like such great girls, so I thought I would introduce myself." He smiled, revealing one cute dimple in his left cheek. He was hot, but not my type. Hayes is my type.

"How old are you?" I asked him and he responded with sixteen. "It was great talking to you, but I should get back to work. My shift is over soon, so maybe I'll run into you." He said, and I couldn't help but notice he hadn't taken his eyes off of me.

I can tell Kendall likes him, but I didn't want to be rude to him either. "Sure." I smiled and he stuck his mask back on before walking away. "He was all over you!" Kendall yelled, in a surprisingly non angry way. "I have Hayes. He's all yours." I laughed and she tried to be cool, but deep down, I knew she was freaking out.

"Work some of your Kenny magic on him." I smirked and she rolled her eyes while laughing. "Come on, let's go on rides." Kendall said and dragged me to multiple different roller coasters.

"I am not going on this ride." Kendall said as I attempted to drag her onto Snow Whites Scary Adventures which is said to be the scariest ride at Disney. "Don't be a pussy." I laughed and she scrunched her nose up.

"I hate that word. Don't ever say it again." She said and I laughed. "I hate it too. I don't even know why I said it to be honest." I shrugged and she plopped down in the middle of the walkway.

"Get up!" I yelled and she groaned. "I'm scared." She mumbled and I sat next to her. "It's not as scary as you think." I said and she turned at me to smile. "Fine. I'll go." She said and I smiled before we both stood up.

"You are such a liar! That was terrifying!" Kendall screamed at me after we got off the ride. I was bent over, laughing hysterically.

"You have to admit. It was pretty fun." I managed to get out after I was finished laughing. "No it wasn't. I'm never going on a roller coaster ever again." She huffed and I laughed. "Fine." I said and we were getting ready to leave when we ran into Ryder in regular clothes instead of his costume.

"Wait up!" He yelled and ran up to us while catching his breath. "Can I have your number?" He asked me and I smiled. "Listen, I'd love to be friends because I have a boyfriend, but Kendall is single." I smirked and he smiled.

"I want both of your numbers." He said and I laughed before me and Kendall both gave it to him. "I'll see you around, yeah?" He said while looking at Kendall and she nodded while smiling. "Yeah." She answered and he smiled before leaving.

"How was the park girls?" Kendall's mom asked once we got in the car. "It was great. Kenny met a boy." I smirked and Kendall glared at me. "Awe, is he cute." Her mom asked and Kendall laughed before nodding.

"The cutest." She said and we drove the rest of the way home.
