"You spent the night with him?" Caitlynn asks sipping her coffee.
"Yeah, its not like we did anything." I say stirring my hot chocolate.
"Okay well first off I still don't see how you don't like coffee and secondly how could you not do anything with him?" She asks.
"Because he's a fuckboi." I say.
"Madison he isn't a fuckboi." She says. "He has never had a girlfriend, he hasn't had a first kiss, he hasn't done anything. Wanna know who has?"
"Who?" I ask already knowing the answer.
"Blake." She says. Yep knew it.
"He flirts with everyone." I say ignoring her comment.
"I flirt with people too, and I have a boyfriend. Does that make me a fuckgirl?" She asks.
"Yes." I say. "Cmon you have a boyfriend if you were single maybe not but you are taken."
"Yeah but Joey isn't taken. And I was lying about the flirt thing, I only flirt with Cameron and that's because he's way older and since I have no chance I always ask myself why not." She says.
I glare at her and sip my hot chocolate then I spit it out because holy shat n balls it was hot.
"I hear laughing." I say turning around. I immediately spot Joey. I start to smile until I see him laughing at me.
I glare at him and turn around with my arms crossed over my chest.
Caitlynn smiles amused.
"Shut it." I say. "I wanna leave anyways."
"I need more coffee." She says.
"Get me a hot chocolate!" I yell but she shakes her head no and I pout as I'm sitting.
I would buy my own but its just too far.
I pull out my phone to see a text from: Jodad🍆💦💜
Who the duck is this?
Jodad🍆💦💜:
Hey mami see you over there

Who tf is this?

Who do you think dumb ash?!?

Is it a hoe that I have to see everyday?

Yep😆

Hoey wtf?

I got you hot chocolate!

C'mon over

Then I change his name to J(h)oey.
When he gets here he places the drink right in front of me and I smile before jumping up and hugging him.
"Thank you!!! Sugar is my life and I love it and I love you and thank you so much." I say sipping it. Then I hug him again because it's so good. The glass I bought wasn't even this good.
He just laughs and sits down in Caitlynn's seat. Where is Caitlynn?
"Caitlynn?" I call out looking behind me.
Right after I said that I get a text from: Cbabe🍑😂💜

Hey I kinda left when Joey went up to you, but I'll meet you back at your house in a hour or two?

I'm about to go home now

No spend some time with Joey!

Okay I'll see you in a lil at mine?

Yep and I invited Katie and Aaliyah

Kk see you in a lil byeeee

Then I put my phone away.
"So I'm free for two hours wanna do something?" I ask Joey.
"Sure." He laughs.
We walk out of the small cafe without talking. For once I didn't mind the silence, just being with Joey felt good I guess.
"Can we go to the park?" I ask breaking the silence when I see the park.
"Sure." He nods. We walk to the park and sit on the bench.
"Give me your beanie." I say.
He looks at me confused before taking it off, handing it to me, and running his fingers through his hair.
I put it on the ground and start to sing.
"So much for my happy ending.
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Is it something I did
Is it something I said
Don't leave me hanging in a city so dead "
Joey looks at me as I continue singing.
"You were everything everything that I wanted
We were meant to be supposed to be but we lost it
All of the memories so close to me just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending."
I sing the rest of the song and look inside the hat.
"I made two dollars!!" I say jumping up and getting excited.
"Sing another song." Joey says.
I shake my head and give Joey the two dollars back.
"Thanks." I laugh.
"I didn't give you that." He says. "She did." He points at a five year old girl.
I smile and pocket the money.
"Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I don't want you not to say but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cause I'll already know"
I sing.
"What would you do
If my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel that your love for me was real
What would you say if I took those words away"
I stop singing because I just wanted to stop. I started to sand up and when I was fully stood I reached for Joey's hand and pulled him up too.
Then we start to walk to my house.
We walk in and I sneak him to my room.
"Alright since we are in break me, you, my cousin, and my friend Kaylee are gonna go to my aunts tomorrow okay?" I ask.
"Well honestly I have I have nothing better to do, but can Charles come?" He asks.
"Sure and I'll bring Aaliyah." I say. "Wait the other night, what were you and Mario talking about?"
"You." He says.
"Me?" I ask. "What about me?"
"He warned me not to get hurt by you. And he warned me not to hurt you."
"Get hurt by me?" I ask him confused.
"Well yeah you're a fuckgirl." Joey says in a 'duh' voice.
"I'm a fuckgirl?" I ask. "How is that? I don't act like a fuckgirl."
"Yeah you do." Joey says. "Oh led Mario on. You led Hayes on. You tried to lead Blake on. You're a fuckgirl."
"I did not! Mario led me on! We were talking and then he got a girlfriend while we were talking." I exclaim, getting angry. "With Hayes I just wasn't very happy. With Blake? Blake was different than all of them. I really liked Blake, heck I still might like him! But he has a girlfriend so I backed off. With you? You're my friend but I can't help but feel attracted to you. You're like a flame and I'm a moth, I'm drawn to you.
How does this make me a fuckgirl? Please explain this to me because I'm extremely confused! I just don't understand why boys think they have the right to call a girl a fuckgirl when they obviously don't know what they are talking a-"
I get cut off my Joey's lips crashing on mine. No they didn't literally crash, I'm sure that would hurt, I'm just saying that because I wanted to emphasize how quick and unexpected it was. I didn't pull away, I kinda just stood there for a minute, but Joey wasn't giving up. It seemed like he was gonna kiss me until I kissed back. So I started to kiss him back.
When we pulled away, I was sure that my lips were swollen from the kiss and that my cheeks were a unattractive red.
"Thank you." I say.
Oh my God I didn't just.
I widen my eyes and run to the bathroom.
I hear a knock on the door and Joey's voice.
"C'mon open the door." He says. "Madison Ruth Ferguson! Open the trucking door."
"No." I say. "I just said thank you after you kissed me!"
"You're welcome." He says.
"Please stop trying to be amusing. That was my first kiss! You were my first kiss and then right after it I said thank you! What is wrong with me?"
"Thank you." Joey says. "It was my first kiss too Mads. Open the door."
I open the door and walk out. We both walk to my room and we go in closing the door.
"The flash?" I ask.
"Yep." He says.
So I turn it on and sit as far away as possible from him as we watch the show.
