It's Wednesday afternoon and me, Grayson, Tasha, Parker, and Ethan are going to Fred's. It's a small ice cream shop that a lot of kids hang out at. I walk up to the counter and ring the small bell sitting atop the white countertop. The other four are talking over one another, Grayson telling everyone that if they don't have the ice cream flavor he wants he'll throw a fit, Ethan yelling at him to "get over it", Tasha telling Parker that she should have gone to the party on Sunday, and Parker telling Tasha that she doesn't want to have a hangover on a Monday.
I turn around and tell them to shut up so the boy at the counter can take my order.
"Hey you're Anabelle, right?" The boy asks and I nod,
"Yeah, who are you?" I pause and look down at the ice cream flavors, eventually deciding on the bubblegum ice cream.
"I'm Kyle, I'm in your Trig." He smiles and puts his hand out for me to shake. I return the smile and put my hand out, nodding my head down as if to say "hello."
"Well hello Kyle. I'm Anabelle." I wave and grab my ice cream that he handed to me.
"I know." He laughs and I feel Ethan walk up behind me and tighten his grip around my waist. I push his hand down and turn to look at him. I turn back around and give Kyle my money and walk over to a table, waiting for the others to come over. I scoot farther into the booth so Ethan can sit next to me and I look at him and smile, "Somebody got a little jealous."
"I did not." Ethan shakes his head and runs his hand through his hair, letting the other one sit gently on my thigh.
"Did to." I say, right as Grayson, Parker, and Tasha come and sit.
Ethan shakes his head and I giggle, setting my hand on top of his under the booth.
"Guys lets go laser tagging." Tasha suggests, fixing her hair and putting it back into a bun so it isn't frizzed out everywhere.
"I love that idea." Grayson says, licking up his ice cream. Parker nods in agreement and I smile, nodding along with Parker.
"Yes let's go. I haven't gone in a while."
"Ethan we went last month." Grayson says, shaking his head at Ethan and laughing.
"Exactly! A month is a long time, Gray." Ethan says, disagreeing with Grayson.
All five of us eventually finish our ice cream and walk out. Kyle yells goodbye to us as we walk out and I wave back to him. We all hop into Ethan's jeep and we drive over to the laser tag place that happened to be pretty close. It was only about a fifteen minute drive and since we spent most of it listening to spotify, it felt like a two minute drive. We get into the building and the guy explains to all of us the rules and precautions we must take.

We finish the game and head back to Parkers house, deciding to play a game of "What Do You Meme?"
"Are we still going to Amanda's party on Friday?" Parker asks and I nod, "Yeah. It won't be too hard to ignore her."
