50 REASONS WHY YOU GOTTA FRIEND IN ME

ALFRED'S POV

"Mornin' Mattie!" I beamed sliding into the dining room table.

Matthew said nothing and continued cooking the chocolate pancakes.

¨Those smell amazing bro!" I smiled.

Matthew didn't acknowledge me as he went to the other room. I felt my smile slip off my face.

¨Matt bro? Are you okay?¨ I followed him into the living room where Hermione was sleeping. Matthew lifted her into his lap and turned on the TV, ignoring me completely.

¨Yo, Your mute not deaf. Hello? Earth to Matthew Williams!" I waved my hand infront of him.

Matthew rolled his eyes and huffed, pulling out his pad.

"No, I'm not okay. Yesterday you were as high as a kite and afterwards everyone pretended nothing happened. I'm still pissed at you."

"Let it go Matt! Everyone else did."

"EXACTLY! Alfred! I don't know about the others, but I care that you smoked weed, blew up a truck, then where driving everyone home after. You don't fool me like everyone else. I know."

"Know what?" I puzzled.

Matthew rolled his eyes and got up again. "Let's just stop fighting about this. I made you pancakes, chocolate chip, your favorite."

I smiled before slowly nodding. "Thanks bro, but I think I'll pass for today. I'm not all that hungry."

I could lose a few pounds right? I mean I guess I could, it wouldn't hurt to skip breakfast for a few days. Most important meal my ass, we know lunch is the best meal.

Soon after Mattie and me-- wait no that's not right. Mattie and I, right? Artie would be so proud of me. Anyway Mattie and I got in Ol' Betsy and parked right out in front of Juan's house, three yards from mine.

"HEY RODRIQUEZ!" I Honked and Hollard. "WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST DAY OF HIGHSCHOOL! GET DOWN HERE!"

Juan opened his bedroom window, which faced mine, and stuck out his middle finger.

"Aw, Don't be like that. WE HAD A DEAL RODRIGUEZ!"

I could practically hear Juan sigh, and soon enough he was right outside his house dressed in an old white polo shirt and ripped jeans. His shoulder length black hair was in a small ponytail.

"Get in loser, we're going to hell."

"I hate you Jones." Is all he said as he hopped in.

"Love you too. Anyway after my shift, We need to go shopping. Like dude, Are those sandals and socks?"

"Major case of crocs and socks." Matthew giggled.

QQ"Shut up. I don't have any money."

"I grinned. I am the Mayor;s son. We are so hitting up Hollister, Levi's, H&M, Nike and Forever 21."

"Whatever." he grumbled and placed his feet on the middle console. "Let's go already, My backpack is heavy."

I sped past the limits of the road and parallel parked perfectly in the school's parking lot.

"Bye Matt! I gotta show our Mexican friend here the ropes so he doesn't end up hanging out with Emos or Ivan. Peace!" I flashed him my signature grin and a peace sign
