Typical Smiles

Chapter 11

I got into the passenger seat of his car.

"Where are we going?" I kept asking.

"Not saying yet," he said.

I wasn't even gonna argue with him.

"Can we get something to eat? I'm hungry," I whined.

"Sure. What do you want?" he asked me.

"McDonalds? I haven't eaten there in a while," I told him.

"Sure. Wanna go in or eat in the car?" Tanner asked.

"We can go in."

When we arrived at McDonalds, we walked up to the counter.

"And I'm paying this time," I told Tanner keeping a straight face.

"It's really okay. I'll pa-"

"No, you let me stay at your house, you bought me starbucks yesterday, you took me to the skatepark, just let me pay," I said suddenly sounding pitiful.

"Whatever."

"What do you want Tanner?" I asked him.

"Um, I'll take some chicken nuggets and a large vanilla iced coffee."

"Hi, can I get a 50 piece chicken nugget and 2 large vanilla iced coffees, please?" I asked the cashier.

"50 piece? That's a lot, Madilyn," Tanner said looking kind of shocked.

"Well I eat a lot, so its okay."

We sat down with our food and started eating our nuggets.

"Tell me a little about yourself, Maddy," Tanner said.

"What do you want to know?" I asked taking a bite out of my food.

"What do you like to do?" he asked.

"Um, I like to travel, I like dancing, I'm a gymnast, and I play softball," I said.

"You do a lot of things, what grade are you in?"

"I'm a junior. 11th grade. I started school early, and I got bumped up a grade, so I'm above average," I told him.

"Wow. I'm only in 10th grade. I do online school because of my youtube channel," Tanner told me taking a drink of his coffee.

After we finished eating, we got back in the car.

"Can you please tell me where we are going?" I complained.

"Madilyn, calm down. You'll have to wait to find out," he said laughing.

Just as I started to fall asleep, I heard Tanner talking on the phone.

"Hey Jake, yea. Come up to our spot we usually hang out. Bring Mav with you. Madilyn is sleeping. I want you guys to meet her. Yea we already ate, but this girl eats more than anything. Haha yea.  She likes Starbucks. Get two large vanilla iced coffees. Thanks Jake. See ya in a bit," he said into the phone.

After that, I actually fell asleep.

"Madilyn, wake up! We're here," Tanner yelled.

"Tanner, I swear to god, next time you wake me up by yelling, I'm gonna throat punch you," I yelled back at him.

"Do it," he challenged.
