We walked inside the doors and back to the counter.
"Hi do you had a phone we could use real quick?" We asked the teenager working there.
"Yeah, over there" he said pointing to the wall next to us. Connor mumbled a thanks as we went to the phone.
"Ok I'm going to call Ricky, he's the only number I actually know, everybody else's is number is on my phone"
"Gotcha" I said as he dialed a number.
"Hey Ricky it's Connor.... Yeah we had a problem and accidentally locked our phones in the car..... 7/11.... Yeah go to my room..... In the closet..... Top right corner.... In the little box.... Yeah those are the keys.... Can you come get us? Ok yeah at the 7/11 right by the mall..... Ok be quick.... Thanks" he hung up and looked at me.
"He's got my spare keys and will come get us in about 15 minutes" he told me.
"Ok what do we do til then?" I asked him.
"Uh.... I'm not sure" he answered honestly. "He's going to get us here so might as well just stay here"
"Sure sounds good, I think there were some benches outside want to sit out there?" I asked throwing away my empty Starbucks from earlier.
"Sounds great" We thanked the cashier and sat on the benches outside.
We talked about how my new school was going to be and he apologized many times for all of them, and all those times, I told him it was a mistake and not to worry about it. I mean, yeah I'm upset I'm not going to be with Zack and Bridgette but I'll get to see them a lot so it's ok!
"Hey that's Ricky's car!" Connor said pointing to the orange car driving into the almost empty parking lot.
"Hey thanks Ricky!" We said running over go his car.
"Not a problem" he smiled and handed us the keys. "Do you guys want me to drive you down to the car?" He asked us. We shrugged and decided why not?
We hopped into his car, Connor sitting in front I in back, and Ricky drive us out of the parking lot.
"Did you..." He asked Connor trying not to say it all.
"Yes, I told Chloe, and we're ok" Connor said knowing what he meant.
"Oh good! Yeah we're super sorry about that" He said looking at me through the mirror.
"Don't worry about it, I understand, I'll still get to see Zack and Bridgette a lot so It's ok to make new friends!" I told him with a smile. He smiled back as the car pulled up to a stop right behind Connors car.
"Thanks for the keys, see you in a lil' bit" Connor said opening up the door.
"Thank you!" I yelled running out of the car and into Connors.
He hopped into the passenger seat and the car roared to life. Ricky then pulled out and onto the highway and after buckling up, we followed his direction. I turned on the radio and hummed along to Selena Gomez's Slow Down The Song. As it ended an ad came on.
"Connor... I'm sorry for overreacting earlier, running out of the car and making you lock your keys in the car."
"Don't be, I should've told you right away! Then we could've had fun without you scared of what I was going to tell you and me being scared of how to tell you. I promise sometime we'll do this again and it'll just be for fun" he told me.
"Sounds perfect" I said smiling. We jammed out to the radio and talked for a little longer than 10 minutes worth of driving, and I saw the slightly familiar driveway as we pulled in. Ricky's car was already there, he probably just got there. Connor took out the keys and turned to look at me.
