We stare at each other for a second, just taking in the others face. "You're fascinating." I say breaking the silence. He quirks an eyebrow and I regret saying it, as I wait for rejection, again. But he only smiles moving closer. "You think so?" He...
I jump awake to my phone ringing. I groan and answer it, wiping my mouth and eyes. "Open the door." the voice on the phone tells me. I huff into the phone and look at my alarm clock. "Oh shit." I say, before hopping out of bed. I brush my teeth quickly and pull on some clean clothes, before I run to the door to let Brendon in. "Took long enough." He huffs as I open the door. "I've outside for 20 minutes." He continues, I know he's trying to make me feel bad, but I wave him off. "Well you're inside now, stop complaining." I say, pulling on my shoes. He frowns. "You're an ass, I'll wait in the car." He replies, making his way to the door, slamming it on his way out.

I sigh and put my face in my hands. christ. I think to myself, as I make my way out of the door and into the car. "I'm sorry, I overslept. I wouldn't leave you out on purpose. You know that." I tell him. He rolls his eyes. "Whatever, you're gonna be late." He huffs , turning to look out the window. I clench my teeth and start the car.
*skips awkward car ride*
We arrive at 8:59 on the dot. I spy Ryan leaning against a small tree and a smile makes it's way onto my face. "Oh. We're here." Brendon states, words dull and boring. I frown, and turn to him. "Why are you mad? I apologized." I ask, and he gives me a look. "It's nine. I'll wait in the car." He replies and I sigh. "No, you're coming with." I tell him, as I get out of the car and make my way over to his door. He presses the lock and laughs sticking his tongue out at me. I roll my eyes. what a child. I think as I pull out my key and unlock the door. "Nice try." I say, pulling him from his seat. He smiles slightly, following me slowly as I make my way over to Ryan. "Hey." I call out, and he jumps. He smiles at first but his eyes land on Brendon and any trace of a smile vanishes. "Hi. Who's this?" He asks, pointing to Brendon. "This is my bestfriend, Brendon. He was with me when we first came." I tell him, making sure to add enthusiasm to the word 'bestfriend'. He nods, sticking out his hand. "Um, hi. I'm Ryan." He says, waiting for Brendon to shake his hand. I frown slightly. where was my handshake? I think to myself, as Brendon moves to shake his hand. "Hi." He replies, removing his hand from Ryan's. "So, you think my house is haunted too?" Ryan's asks and Brendon nods, relaxing slightly. "People think you're a ghost. 'Cause you're so pale, I guess it's because you don't get out much." I glare at Brendon and he shrugs. Ryan smiles tightly. "So I've heard." He says, looking at me, I shrug in reply. "Well, I'm not a ghost and my house isn't "haunted" it's just...old." he explains and Brendon gives him an unimpressed look. "Mmhmm and what about the sightings? And why is the grass so long? Ever heard of a lawnmower?" Brendon says, crossing his arms. Ryan glares at him, turning his head slightly.

"As a matter of fact, I have. And so what? Rumors are rumors." He says, through clenched teeth. I frown and step between them. "Okay, okay let's change the subject." I state, and Brendon rolls his eyes, for the hundredth time. "Yeah, let's talk about how you left me outside for twenty freaking minutes." Brendon says, turning to me. Ryan raises an eyebrow and I sigh. "Brendon, please. I'm sorry it won't happen again, could you just drop it!" I yell and he looks away at the ground. "Look let's just start over, okay?" I say and turn to Ryan. "Ryan this is Brendon my bestfriend. Brendon this Ryan, I met him yesterday." I let out, and Ryan hesitantly sticks his hand out. Brendon sighs and shakes it. I smile slowly.
*skips an hour*
"I have to go." Ryan says, getting up. I nod and push myself off of the old stump we'd been sitting on and turn to help Brendon up. "Let's hang again? All off us?" I ask and he smiles, nodding. "I have no phone." He starts, when I ask him to text me. "But, I can come again on Thursday." He suggests and I grin. "Okay then. We'll see you Thursday." I reply turning and making my way to the car. "I'm sorry." Brendon says, once we're in the car. "I was being a jackass" he continues, sighing softly. I look over at him and smile softly. "I'm sorry too..., let's just go home. We can watch 'Coraline'. How about it?" I ask and he smiles over at me. "Okay." He replies, slowly as I pull away from the trees and onto the road.
