A New Home

chapter 4 = ice cream and strangers

Where else does a self-depressed homeless sad teenager go, no other than the famous Dustan Ice Cream Bar. Luckily enough for me the ice cream bar is just outside the Jemison's gated community, the unlucky side guess who is working today, Charlie great this is going to go down amazingly.

"hey stranger" he had his back turned probably doing what employees do, work.

"is that Bonnie I hear because I can't ke- ""holy shit M" he almost dropped his ice cream scoop which would have been unfortunate. We sat at a booth for a while talking for the most part, some stories involved tears some involved laughs but we catch up.

"everyone believes you ran away with the circus, literally"

"I would rather be in the circus than this shit town, trust me"

"how did you get here then?" good question Charlie.

"well there are these idiotic people I kind of once called family but now they are all pyscho who follow me around everywhere and want me to be safe at all times."

"why didn't you tell me, I would have dropped everything to go on a road trip with my best friend" he held my hand and rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb.

"well I better let you continue your working, wouldn't want you to get fired"
"that wouldn't be the worst thing ever" we both giggled as more and more customers entered the shop.

"are you coming to school on Monday?" he asked as he started to put his apron back on.

"maybe" I was unsure if I even wanted to be in the town but I guess I needed to see all my friends and teachers once more before the end of the year. We only had around a month left of school and big things were happening and not to mention but I have already lost a lot of assessments and tasks and I am probably failing every single one of my classes.

I walked out of the joyful ice cream shop with many bystanders staring in awe and amazement, their minds screaming out 'crazy female return to the town of Dusten with no clue why she's back'. The wind blew straight pass me and I didn't even expect the next term of events, in broad day light outcome Oscar's Jeep and Asher's ford mustang gt. They jumped out of their cars which were parked right in the middle of non-busy carpark.

"where the hell have you been Monty, we expected you to walk down the street not around the whole fucking town" Asher was first to say his words.

"actually, I did take a walk, just a very long one actually. I can do whatever I want you know that right" my hands engulfed in my denim jacket.

"just calm down everyone" Oscar says, with 2 stop signs in his hands.

"last I checked I was your property, I am going to take another nice long walk without company" I start to walk off in the direction of the school even though it was Sunday, we had a nice football field to relax on.

"go home Asher I have this under control" there mumbling wasn't very quiet and I heard every single word of it.

I kept to my word and strolled down the quite sidewalk, with Oscars car following me slowly behind. Sometimes along the journey I would pretend to stop so he would have to jolt on the break or I would sprint ahead and make him speed up. It was fun for around 5 minutes but then I got bored and decided my feet couldn't take it anymore, I stopped in my tracks once again and proceeded to jump into Oscars car.

"so, where are we off to today, Mon"

"1st don't call me Mon you don't get that privilege anymore and 2nd off to the football field"
