Quiet but Kind

ep. 40

We walked back and I heard Tyler talk

"Wow that was cringey" and Taylor nudged him

"I can hear you guys" ashlyn scolded and I chuckled as we all walked to class.

"I'm pretty sure I failed that midterm" Taylor said as we all seemed to be thinking the same thing as me and Aiden ate some cookies Ashlyns mom made.

"Oh! My parents are coming home tomorrow" Aiden said and I smiled
"Really?" ashlyn asked and he nodded
"Wait isn't it Lily's birthday in a week?" I asked excitingly
"Who's lily..?" The others asked
"Ben's little sister! Her and Harper are best friends- well were best friends until we moved" I explained

"They're coming back? They didn't tell me" ashlyns dad said and ashlyn started to question him
"You talk to them?"
"Yeah I give them updates about Ben and Aiden" he answered

"Oh how about a big BBQ for Lily's birthday, it's rare for all of us parents to meet together, how about that?" He asked and I got excited
"Oo! My parents love BBQs and Harper does I'm sure!" I said excitingly and the others agreed and Ashlyns dad looked at his watch

"It's almost 5 you kids are ready? Ill take you guys in the Jeep" he said and Ashlyn spoke back
"I don't think the Jeep can fit us all-" her dad Inturupted.

"I made some 𝑢𝑝𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑠" he said and soon I was in the 3rd row beside Tyler
"This is not ideal." Tyler spoke and I chuckled at his arrogance

"It works though haha" her dad said and he drove is to the arcade and we all got out and I made sure to leave my hoodie in the Jeep and realized the shirt I changed I to before I came to Ashlyns house was the same grey as Ben's.

Taylor checked up on Ashlyn

"Ash, are you sure youll be ok? Were here to release stress and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" she said and ashlyn just said that she was fine

"Plus I've never been to an arcade, I'm curious" she said and I figured out nor Ashlyn, Logan, Ben or me have ever been.

We got in and it was pretty much empty and I noticed Ashlyn looking at the DDR machine and Aiden talked to her about it and I nudged Ben

"Hey guys! Aiden vs Ash." I said and looked to Ben

"I bet I can beat you" I laughed and he smirked before we went over and danced on it for a while and then we played basketball which Tyler won and when we played air-hockey Ashlyn hit Logan in the head with the puck, which me and Aiden laughed our asses off at.
Ben went against Logan in a shooting game and loss... Horribly. And then me and Ben took turns taking a hit on the punching game which got a got load of tickets.

I looked to the door which ringed when it opened and saw Barron.
