chapter 9- Disney Movies and Video Games

kenzie's p.o.v

"I don't wanna play Fortnite, let's do something else."I groaned but Johnny shook his head.

"Nah we're gonna keep playing till I make you a pro." He said stubbornly handing me the controller.

It's six in the evening and Johnny called me an hour ago after his ice cream makeout session with Nadia.
I was still upset with him for what happened earlier. My pride held strong so it took a lot for him to get me to come over.

Our phone conversation went a little like this,

"Kenz I'm sorry, you know I didn't mean for it to go south like that. I just wanted you and Nadia to get to know each other a little better."

"Yeah and you saw how that went. We got along so well, did we not?" I reply sarcastically.

He sighed.
"She wasn't trying to be rude...she's just, I mean, you know how it is.." he struggled to explain.

I almost quipped back "how is it?"
But refrained from doing so. I'm not Johnny's girlfriend. I can't demand things from him, like asking why Nadia is such a bitch.

Johnny sighed once again loudly on hearing my silence.
"Kenz please come over and hang out with me. I feel bad. I wanted to hang out with you and you just got up and left so suddenly. I know you were annoyed but-"

"Aren't you with Nadia right now?"

He paused.
"Actually she just left. We were going to go for a movie together but Devenity called. Some fashion emergency regarding her date." He huffed.

Did my stomach drop to hear that?
Yes. Because, for a moment I actually assumed he felt bad, genuinely bad, that I left so suddenly earlier today.

But no.
The only reason he wanted me to come over was because Nadia had plans.

Hanging out with me wasn't his first option.
It was a situation where if his girlfriend was not there, he had me as backup.

And me being the complete fool I was, leapt to at any crumbs he threw at me.

I wish I had more self respect.
I wish I had it in me to take a step back.

But where Johnny's concerned, I just can't help myself.

So here I was, laying on the couch in his basement
Our usual spot in his house.

"I'm gonna beat you so bad Mackenzie Frances." He sneered his eyes glued to the screen.
"Shut up I could beat you in Mario Kart any day Johnny Vincent!" I snapped, shutting him up real quick.

I smiled in triumph glancing at his face.

And after playing for what felt like hours and him beating me like twenty times

I got bored.
And very, very hungry.

My stomach growled loudly making Johnny chuckle.
"Wow someone needs food." He said getting up.

"Preferably nachos. And how about a soda too?" I smiled innocently up at him.
He shook his head amusedly as he walked up the stairs to go get me stuff.

I scrolled through Instagram when I suddenly get a dm from Lauren,

LaurenOrlando88- heyyy How was the thirwheeling session?

KenzieZiegler- don't even get me started on how bad! Btw come down  to the basement.
