-sydney-

the party was tonight and i was dreading it. yes, i am social, no i don't like drunk teenagers. who does? they are reckless and stupid. the first week of school was bearable, nothing but syllabuses that need to be signed by a parent. i'd barely seen the boys at school but we hung out after school a couple times. on wednesday, amber intruded and was snappy at me. shocker. thursday, wes came and hung out with us, ethan was the snappy one that day. i really couldn't tell you what was going on with ethan lately. grayson said that amber has been stressful because of her indescive attitude towards their relationship. whatever that means. i was currently still in bed at twelve pm on a saturday. viv was supposed to come over tonight to get ready with me. we would go to the party together and meet the others at the house. i was scrolling through twitter when i heard a knock at my door.

"syd, ethan is here." i heard my mom say. i gave the door a confused look and it opened. i sat up immediately and stared at it. ethan appeared behind it and shut it again.

"hey," he said taking a seat on the side of my bed, "wanna go on a walk?"

"in this heat? i'll go if i get ice cream." he rolled his eyes and laughed.

"i'll be downstairs." he stood up and left my room. i smiled widely and hopped out of bed. ethan and i would finally get to hang out, alone. i loved grayson but ethan was a lot like me, gray was the most mature of us three. i brushed my hair and got dressed. i walked down the stairs and grabbed my purse off the entry hall table.

"goodbye you two!" my mom said from the laundry room. i laughed at her stalking us and ethan got up from the table.

"what ice cream place?" he asked as we got in his car. i thought to myself,

"deans." he nodded and started the car. deans was my favorite place to get ice cream. it was a family owned business and it had the woods behind it. the dean family made a trail so people could walk through it.

"so, why did you wanna go on a walk?" i asked out of curiosity. i mean he shows up and wants to walk? that's never happened before, it sounded like something you would say something serious during.

"i just missed by best friend." he admitted. i giggled and took the aux cord from his phone. he gave me a shocked look and prepared to argue.

"nah ah! i get it, i am the guest after all." he closed his mouth and smiled, knowing i was right. i played my music till we arrived. we got out and walked into the parlor. it was pretty 1950s-esque, which i adored.

"hi, what can i get you?" the guy named, hayden, asked us. ethan ordered his and mine and payed, much to my protest. soon enough, our cones came out for us. we took them and i tipped hayden, earning a smile from him.

"wanna walk?" i heard ethan say. i nodded and followed him out the doors to the woods. we walked up and down the trail, talking and laughing about anything and everything.

"i missed this." i remarked, licking my chocolate ice cream. he laughed and agreed.

"gray has gotten pretty boring to be honest." i laughed at his comment. we finished our ice cream and began to walk back to the car.

"are you going tonight?" i asked him.

"yeah, amber wanted to go together but i refused, saying i already had plans to go with the guys." he said.
