After our argument on Saturday, Alex and I have not spoken. For the most point, I think he was avoiding me not that I necessarily had a problem with it. It was now Friday and we didn't have school for whatever reason, so Miles, Nico and I had gone to breakfast along with Henry and Sebastian who are honestly so freaking adorable. We had just gotten back and Nico parked at the end of the driveway because he apparently had places to be later and didn't want to be blocked in. I stumbled over the sidewalk, not realizing that it was so close which of course caused all of the boys to laugh.

"Ha, ha. Very funny." I rolled my eyes as I straightened up. As soon as my they gathered themselves, my phone started ringing. After nearly forty years, I finally found it in the bottom of my purse. Seeing Pipers name on the screen, I looked up to the boys who were just standing there awkwardly whilst waiting for me. "It's Piper, you guys can go ahead and go in, I'll be there in a second."

They didn't need to be told twice because next thing I knew, they were all running up the driveway, arguing with one another who was going to be Donkey Kong with Nico yelling the last to the game room had to be Princess peach whilst he shoved Henry into a bush beside the front door. He quickly bounced up and punched Nico in his crowned jewels which left him collapsing just as the door was pushed shut.

I snorted as I slid my finger across the screen to answer. "Sup dog?"

Piper was silent for a minute. "Did you really just 'sup dog?' to me?"

I cringed. "I did, sorry. I think Nico is rubbing off on me."

"Do he actually say that to people?"

"On a daily basis." I nodded even if she couldn't see me.

"Ew. Anyway, I called you because I went on a date last night."

I gasp. "You did and you didn't tell me?"

"I did. Anyway, it was complete and utter shit. I'm not even kidding. I've never been on a more horrible date in my life."

"How many dates have you been on?"

"Well, technically last night would be my first but that doesn't matter. What matters is how crappy it was. Which is honestly so upsetting because he was so hot."

"Who was he anyway?" I asked as I stepped back, leaning my body slightly against Nico's car.

"His name was Erik, I met him at Jamba Juice. He ordered the same thing as me so I thought it'd be a perfect match. Yeah, a big fucking mistake on my part. He was incorrigible."

"What happened?"

"What didn't happen? Okay, so let me start from the beginning. He said he'd pick me up at seven, he showed up at eight but whatever, I was willing to let that slide. He said he had planned on going out to eat and asked if I was hungry which I said yes because I mean, I'm not about to deny food. Anyway, So I ask him where we're going and he says that it's a surprise and though I hate surprises I was just going with it because I mean, it was kind of cute. Right? Yeah, no. He pulls up to Taco Bell, which I'm not expecting some five-star restaurant that cost an arm and a leg or anything but come on, Taco Bell for a first day. Again though, I let it go. So we go in and he orders his food and steps aside to let me order mine and then the cashier tells us the total and suddenly, Erik lets me know that he's just so happened to forget his wallet. Which okay, again, I didn't just expect him to pay for me and girls can pay for guys and whatnot but now I'm paying for a fifty dollar Taco Bell bill when all I got was lemonade and a chicken quesadilla. Still, I let it go and we get our food and sit down and everything seems to be going okay and whatnot and then while I'm in the middle of taking a sip of my lemonade, this bitch grabs a piece of quesadilla. He doesn't even ask, just reaches over and grabs my food and shoves it in his mouth. I swear to the Gods above, I can forgive all else but then you go and touch my food."
