Song: On Top Of The World - Imagine Dragons 

Matilda's POV
Walking the streets of Hartton Bay with Justin is torture. It's like when you out somewhere with your parents and you really want to go home and when they finally give in to you bugging them to leave you walk like ten steps and then they stop to talk to someone and an hour later you finally make it to the car, yeah well walking the streets with Justin is just like that. He knows everyone.

"Ugh you know everyone!" I complain as we finally make our way into Coconut Haven

"It's hardly my fault I'm so popular and I don't know everyone actually, I don't know that man over there" he replies pointing to a old man standing across the road.

We continue to talk as we look into the freezers filled with ice cream.

"There is so many choices I'm never going to be able to choose" I practically whinge

"Wow you never stop complaining do you?"

"Nope, never" I reply with a smile on my face returning back to the ice cream choice.

After what feel like ages I still haven't chosen a flavour.

"Man Matilda it's been 10 minutes and you still haven't made a decision" Justin says looking at his watch.

"Well in my defence I did tell you that I was never going to choose" it's true I did tell him that

"What are your top two choices tell me and I will chose for you" he offers

"Fine. Honeycomb or boysenberry?" I ask

"Hummm honeycomb" he decides

"Okay well lets order now"

"Finally" he says and I laugh.

"Oh hi Justin, what can I get you two?" The lady at the contour asks

"See you do know everyone" I whisper into his ear

"Hey Gloria we'll have one choc mint and one honeycomb" Justin tells the lady who's name i now know is Gloria.

After paying for the ice cream which Justin insist of paying for we continue to walk the streets.

"Your just as slow at eating ice cream as you are and walking" he teases me as I try to position the melting ice cream away from me to prevent it dripping on my cloths.

"It melts to quickly" I answer

"Excuses, excuses. Now hurry up" he replies smirking.

I end up chucking ice cream in the bin because I can't possible eat it.

"You just completely wasted ice cream what is wrong with you?"

"Well went you the one who was rushing me just before?" I reply raising one of my eyebrows

"Yep I was because I haven't got long to teach you to skate remember"

"oh no. I should have taken longer to eat" I complain yet again I wounded how many times I've complained today? The thing is though, I'm complaining but I'm having fun at the same time, sometimes thing do not make any sense.

After Justin makes some long speech on how to skate which I don't listen to I finally attempt.

"Come here, I need something to hold on to!" I can't even balance. Justin comes to my side at I grip his shoulders for support. I really wish the Main Street didn't get to whiteness me doing this. If I see anyone I know I will literally die.
