chapter 9

~Madeline's POV~

I check the time on my phone. My eyes widen in shock when I read 2:31pm.

Colin: Hey come over to my house now. we can leave for lunch from my place.

Me: k

Colin: See you soon ;)

"Hey, Colin!" I say, walking into his bedroom.

"What's up?" He asks.

"Nothing. So, what's for lunch?" I ask him, feeling my stomach grumble.

"I don't know, I'm not hungry. And I'm in a game right now!" He's too preoccupied in a round of Fortnite to even look at me.

Well jeez, not everything is about you.

I roll my eyes.

"Well then I'm going to get something to eat. I'm hungry. I'll be back." I turn around and grab my car keys. I'm almost certain he didn't hear me.

Like, are you kidding? I came all this way to give him another chance and he passes me up to a fucking video game?

I turn on my car radio and back out of the driveway onto the street.

5 minutes later, I pull into the nearest McDonalds.

My mouth waters thinking of the fries.

I get out of my car and head inside. After ordering, I find a seat and wait patiently before I notice something, or someone, out of the corner of my eye.

My eyes light up as I walk over to them.

"Ethan!" I shout, as he whips his head towards me.

"Madeline! What's up?" He smiles.

"Nothing much, just getting food by myself since the person I was hanging out with 'wasn't hungry'." I rant.

"Oooooh, who were you with?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Nobody." I roll my eyes.

"Order 386!" I hear the cashier shout, a tray of food in her hands.

"Oh, that's me, I'll see you around!" I turn around and eagerly grasp my food.

"Wait! Wanna eat with me?" He asks.

"Uh, Sure." I smile and sit down and a table.

Ethan went back to the counter to wait for his food.

Colin: where did you go???1!1/?1

Me: chill, i just went to get food since you weren't hungry.

Colin: why didn't you tell me! I thought you stood me up.

Me: I did. u were too busy with your fortnite game to hear me.

Colin: Damn, calm down wtf.

I shut off my phone quickly before I could type up another response. I knew that if I kept arguing, things wouldn't end well. I throw away the trash and then sit back down. There's no way I can go back to his house, not now.

I mean really, who does he think he is? He such a-

A tray was slammed down beside me, interrupting my own thoughts. At first I thought it was Colin, but after taking a second look, I saw Grayson standing beside the table.

"Hey Gray, what are you doing here?" I sigh.

"Just getting lunch with Ethan. Is everything okay? He just told me about-"

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just mad, but I'm okay now." I lied.

"So..., when did you get here?" I ask.

"Just now. I had to finish homework before I got food." He responds.
