“No, I’m watching Maury with my Momzie, Nate. Call Jake or Damon. They’ll probably want to go with you. Besides I went to the movies like a week ago with Ethan. It’s not like I got money to blow.”

Nate sighed followed by a very harsh groan. “Why not, M? I’m bored and I really want to go. I called the boys, even Ethan. The first two idiots were sleeping and Ethan told me he was busy running errands for college. That left you, Siri, and Cassie. I’d rather go alone then hang out in public with Kat. She scares me.”

I snickered while he continued rambling.

“Cassie’s phone is off and Siri just keeps denying my call which brings me to you. I’ll even pay for your ticket and lunch. Please?” he begged.

Something that ticks me off is when he begs. He doesn’t do it very manly. It’s more of a whine kind of thing and out annoys the heck out of me. I allowed the silence to drag on while I was staring at the TV. My mom was laughing her ass off as some guy came on to the stage and announced that he cheated on his wife with a guy. His excuse is he thought she was a girl. How can you not know the difference between a girl’s vajayjay and a guy’s ding-a-ling. It’s clear she was drag. He basically did a drag. Now he doesn’t know if he’s gay or not. It was hilarious.

That’s when Nate said the only thing that had me flying off the couch and up into my room in a 10 seconds flat. “I’ll buy you Subway’s.”

I tried to catch my breath as I searched through my closet violently tossing aside all the wrong outfits finally deciding on some skinny jeans, and a plain black tank top. To top it all off I threw on a pair of black high top All-stars. Nate was still shouting through the line but I couldn’t find my phone. The sounds of his muffle yells were coming from under a pile of clothes and I managed to find it tangled between a dress and a shirt.

“Remember you offered to pay so no take backs,” I narrowed my eyes and pointed at some random object glaring.

He agreed and told me he’ll be over in 10. I applied some eyeliner, the only makeup accessary I can’t live without, and I combed my hair tying it up into a ponytail letting my fringe stay out. I grabbed my mini messenger bag from off the counter top putting both my phone and wallet in inside then zipping it up. I ran down the stairs but had to stop myself gripping onto the handrail keeping myself from tripping over my own feet. After a second, I kept on moving and ending up by the main door before my mom’s shouting stopped me.

I backed up and stopped at the door frame of the living room where my mom was sitting on the couch still watching Maury. “Yeah mom?”

“Where are you in a rush to? Is Ethan in the hospital again because of, well, you know?” she asked awkwardly.

She was referring to Ethan’s previous hospital visit to the hospital because he got his zipper stuck in his manhood during a twisted game of truth or dare. I laughed and bypassed her question telling her I was going to go hangout with Nate for a while and I’ll be home soon and walked out the door closing it behind me.

“No, but I want some fries too. Can we stop by Mickey D’s real quick. I’ll pay for it.”

Nate was being hardheaded. Once we got to the theatre he decided he wanted to go to another one near Hollywood Boulevard because they weren’t playing the movie he wanted to see in Imax. So we ended up taking an hour ride into the city. It was ridiculous because of all the traffic. Then we got there and he wanted to pick out snacks even though I was paying for them. I wanted some Snickers but he wanted M&M’s because we could share it like I would ever want to share chocolate with anyone. The worst part was when it came to seating arrangements.
