Forever and Always

Chapter 8

Eli and Reed sat on opposite sides of the couch, leaving me in the middle... I guess I shouldn't complain. None of them are using me as a pillow at the very least. Eli had the TV on a music video from Katy Perry. Reed stared straight. Either at the TV or the wall. Ah well. Me on the other hand was just finished with reading a story on the phone. I love online reading.

It passed an hour or so since we were just resting on the couch. "Fro-yo?" Reed suggested out of no where.

Eli and I looked over at him, I looked back at Eli, then at Reed again. "I can go for some fro-yo." Eli answered.

With just that the choice was made. All of us left the apartment for some frozen yogurt.

"Yogurt Land?" I read.

"Yeah! Please tell me you've been here before!" Reed pleaded with his hand together.

"Nope." I said plainly, crushing all of his fake dreams.

Even throughout my life in Florida I've never been to such a place. Either that or they just didn't have it back then.... Who cares. I guess. It doesn't sound that important anyways, just some flavored yogurt you get out of a machine and top it off with your favorite toppings. Right? That's all it is.

Reed made a 'are you kidding me?' Face and Eli seemed a bit surprised. Why is it that important!? It's just yogurt.

I sighed and entered the place without them. The walls were lemon lime green, the top and bottom lines of the wall were painted aqua blue, designed with fruit painted white. There was a young man wearing a green apron with the words 'Yogurt Land', his dark brown hair was some-what styled up, his caramel skin was clear as day, he has dark geen eyes. In my taste, you can say he's 'cute' in a way. But not enough to like him.

"Hey guys, welcome to Yogurt Land!" He greeted with a smile.

I smiled back and looked at the door. Eli and Reed entered the place and walked past me to the machines. Rude. "What flavor do you like?" Reed asked.

"Who are you talking to?" Eli and I asked in unison.

I felt a huge skip in my heart beat. That was seriously weird if you ask me. Reed stopped grabbing the bowls and looked at us like we were aliens. I looked at Eli and Eli looked at me. "Both now...?" Reed answered awkwardly and handed us our bowls. "Vanilla." I answered like it was nothing.

"You should know idiot." Eli said nervously while quickly making his way to the strawberry flavor yogurt.

To be completely honest, that's the first I've seen him act like that. Pretty strange if you ask me. I don't know if Reed seen this side of Eli before, or if this his first. Doesn't matter.

"You got your money?" Reed asked.

"You owe me."

"For what!?"

"Going through my bag and completely embarrassing me in front of the whole class on my first day!" I whispered.

"You're still on that!?"

"Don't forget, you looked through my photo album without permission." I reminded.

He finally shut his mouth and annoyingly sighed. "You're really lucky." He said and got his stuff.

"Are you guys paying all together, or separately?" The guy asked.

"Together." Eli answered, putting all three bowls of yogurt on the scale.

"Alright that'll be $7.38" Reed stopped Eli from taking out his wallet and brought out eight bucks.

Eli seemed shocked, but didn't protest on what Reed was doing. I didn't either. He did owe me even though I never said anything about it. I basically just made it up. Idiot...

The fresh cool breeze in the park air felt nice. I had my yogurt with me and the two boys as well. 'How long has it been since I've been to a park with friends?' I asked my self and tried to think back.
