    Me and Chloe began long boarding down her street heading to the pizza place to meet up with her friends... and now my friends now I guess too. I felt really bad for Chloe due to her brother and her dad. Must of been really hard on her.... Chloe is beautiful. Even when she's not all dolled up. She's just as beautiful now, with her yoga pants and sweat shirt, as she was in her leggings and PAC sun shirt. I guess I developed a small crush on her. Nothing too serious being I just moved here from Virginia all the way to California.

     "So what brings you to the West coast Matthew" Chloe asked looking back at me.

     "Well my dad lives here. My mom lives back in Virginia so I came to live with my dad for school being I plan on attending college here." I tried lying. My mom isn't okay, let's just put it that way. She has a bad drug addiction and is going bankrup and is now in rehab. So my dad got full custody of me and doesn't want me living with her. When she's clean I can visit her and what not. But my dad will still have custody of me. I don't mind though. I love my dad he's a good man and he's rich. Its just hard to forget the fact that he cheated on my mom and still lives with the women he cheated on her with. They're married now and expecting a baby. No wonder my mom got a drug problem. It was a lot on her at the time. It was hard on me too. Chloe rode a little ahead of me until her board tripped over a rock and she fell. I instantly jumped off my board and went to her rescue.

     "Chloe oh my god are you okay?!?" I pleaded. Chloe turned over, her face beat red. She had a smile from ear to ear. She was cracking up.

    "Yeah I'm fine don't get your panties in a twist Matt." she continued laughing.

   "Are you sure that looked like it hurt?!?" I asked concerned.

    "Yeah I'm good." Chloe stood back up smiled and grabbed her board and got back on again. I began to giggle a little and rode next to her.

   "So what's your favorite movie?" I asked her

   "Perks of Being a Wallflower. You?" Chloe turned to me with a curious smirk.

   "I've never seen it. And Insidious, I love horror movies." I responded.

   "WHAT?!!!" Chloe stopped riding and stared at me. "You've never seen Perks of Being A Wallflower???!"

    "Nope!" I giggled.

     "What are your plans after pizza and after we all hangout at Cam's tonight?!" Chloe asked concerned.

   "I don't know probably watch some family guy..play some video games. Why?" I asked curiously.

   "They can wait. You're coming over and watching Perks of Being A Wallflower. I'll make popcorn!" she smiled excitedly. I didn't have any plans besides going over Cam's and being its a Friday why not.

   "Yeah sure why not. But don't we gotta study for exams that are next week." I didn't wanna sound too desperate like I wanted to.

    "That's a Sunday night problem and were going to study with everyone right now."

    "Yeah sounds like a plan then." I smiled brightly at her. She blushed a little. I wonder if she finds me attractive.

    We finally had reached the pizza place. I could see everyone at one big booth in the back laughing and eating. I opened the door for Chloe being a gentlemen.

    "After you Ms. Harvey." I said playfully in a British accent.

     "Why thank you Mr. Espinosa." she said also sounding British. We both giggled and walked up to the booth with all of her loud friends.

     "Sup crew!" Chloe said sitting next to Cameron leaving a spot for me next her on the other side. I sat down and smiled at everyone.

    "Hey guys." I said politely. Everyone said hey with mouths full of pizza. We all began talking about sports.

   "Hey Matt what sports do you play?" Jack G asked.

   "I play football. What sports do you guys play?"

   "I play football too!" Jack G said excitedly.

   "I play baseball." Jack J added. They all began saying what sports they played. Cameron and Nash play soccer, Mahogany and Jess do gymnastics, Hayes does lacrosse with Aaron, and Courtney, Jeanie, and Chloe do Cheer leading. I smiled and nicely at all the sorts they played and ate my pizza.

     "What do you do for fun?" Nash looked at me curiously.

     "I like to surf. I couldn't do much of it to in Virginia, but now that I'm on the West coast I can surf all the time." I smiled. They all got weirdly happy.

    "Oh my god Matt you should totally teach us all how to surf!" Jess declared. Everyone instantly thought this idea was brilliant.

   "Yeah we should all go tomorrow afternoon!" Aaron exclaimed. Everyone nodded.

   "Yeah sure I got boards you guys can use too." Everyone instantly got all excited. When we were all done eating we got the check and paid.

     "Alright everyone, to my house!" Cameron said in a much deeper voice then he had to sound enthusiastic. Everyone jumped up out of their seats. As we were walking out Can exclaimed loudly.

   "Don't forget your bathing suits my friends!" Everyone hopped in their cars and me and Chloe grabbed our long boards and got a ride from Cam cause it was too far to board there and we left for Cameron's house.
