"No. The cookie is better than the filling."
"Beg to differ Clifford." I give Michael a light shove, making him wobble on his bike. We are now in some park, biking along the trails. Before you know it, the sweet silence we once had is interrupted by Michael's face hitting a branch.
"I fucking hate trees!" He waves the leaves out of his view, just in time to be hit with a spider web.
"NATURE! IT'S ALL OVER ME GET IT OFF!" (If you know where that is from your the bomb) Michael yells again, this time scaring off a group of nearby birds.
"Michael! Calm down! What did you expect on a bike ride in the woods?"
"I don't know, Kate. Serenity or some shit those bald guys say."
"Michael, monks are focused on religious beliefs. Not being calm in a woods."
"Oh. Well you get my point."
We continue biking in silence until my phone rings out the beautiful chorus of This Is Gospel by Panic! At The Disco, and I quickly feel around in my back pocket to grab the phone.
Penny: hey Kate :)
I quick text her back, now more focused on the phone then nature.
To Penny: Um... Hey? I haven't talked to you since you ditched me two weeks ago at that club.
Penny: Kate, I'm sorry about that. I just got a little drunk and forgot about you.
To Penny: oh okay. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. You just forgot about your best friend :/
Penny: I'm really sorry. But I saw you go into a room with a cute blonde boy ;)
"Hey Kate? Everything okay? You've been looking at that phone for awhile." I look up and give Michael a nod, then reply to her snoopy comment.
To Penny: yeah, but it was none of ur fucking business. And his name is Luke
Penny: wow chill out Kate. I'm sorry okay? The only reason I texted u was to say sorry and that we should ya no... Hang out? Idk I'm sure u don't want to now
To Penny: I'm with Michael now but I mean I guess we can later?
Penny: Of course your with Michael
To Penny: what's wrong w that :/
Penny: nothing. Okay so coffee at that shop on Maine St. Around 6?
To Penny: sure
Penny: k see u then :)
(Michaels POV)
Kate finally puts down the phone and slips it into her back pocket, and I find myself staring at her.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. Wait who were you texting?" I motion to her back pocket, while still trying to stay stable with the handle bars.
"Just Penny. You probably wouldn't know her."
"Penny Holden?" My eyes widen, not knowing Kate was that close with her.
"Yeah. How do you know her?"
"She has just come around the hospital a few times. Nothing big." I felt bad lying to her actually, what she didn't know was that me and Penny knew each other quite well, and that it wasn't just at the hospital where we were hanging out.
"Oh. Okay."
"So. You hungry?" She asks, trying to change the subject.
"Aren't I always?"
