Quarterback

chapter 9

We arrived at Betty May's Ice Cream Parlor after a five minute drive. 

" Oooh." Sophie said as she got out of the car. " It looks so cute."

I looked up at the white brick building with red stripes across it. It had a sign with an arrow pointing at the door with the words Betty May's Ice Cream Parlor. I looked over at Sophie with a smile. 

" Just wait until you see the inside." I started to walk inside and gestured her to follow me. We got inside and I took a look around. It really was a cute ice cream parlor. There were red and white booths and the floor was just black. There are over thirty ice cream flavors too.  It brought back some great memories. I smelt the familiar smell of a melted ice cream bowl. It smelt thick, warm , and sweet but not too sweet. 

I looked over at Sophie, " Hey are you ready?" She nodded. We walked over to the counter and we looked at all the different flavors. 

" Let me know when you guys are ready to order." I heard a deep voice say and it sounded all too familiar. I looked up and saw Lucas Myer. Brandon's best friend. 

" Ok!" Sophie said cheerfully and looked over at me and smiled. I put on my best fake smile and tried to forget who is standing in front of me. 

I cleared my throat and said, " I will have the sea salted caramel on a waffle cone." He nodded as he started making my ice cream cone.

" It'll be three dollars." He said as he handed me my ice cream and I handed him the money. 

" Thank you." I told him and he nodded. 

" I will have french vanilla on a uh Betty May's Original." Sophie said. 

After we both got our ice cream we took a seat on one of the open booths. 

" Mmmm this is really good!" Sophie said as she ate her ice cream. I nodded and agreed with her. 

" So how do you like your tour so far?" I asked and she nodded her head.

" It's so good so far! Thank you for hanging out with me. I'm having lot of fun." She smiled and I returned her smile. 

"Let's get to know each other." I said.

" Ok, what do you want to know?" Sophie asked. 

"How about when you or I ask a question the other person has to answer." I said and she nodded. " I'll go first. What's your favorite um animal?" She thought about it for a moment. 

" It'll have to be a turtle for sure. I actually have two pet turtles. Their names are Rocky and Swagger." She said as she giggled. 

" Swagger? That's a great name." I laughed, " And my favorite animal is a cat and I do not have a pet cat yet but I really want to adopt one from the shelter." 

" Oooh nice nice, alright now what should I ask you?" She thought about it for a minute and I finished off my ice cream cone. " What's your lucky number and why?" She asked. 

I thought about it and finally answered. " It's fifteen and the reason is I have no idea why but it just is." I laughed and Sophie started to laugh. 

" That is an amazing reason Ryley. Also my lucky number has to be three because that's how many siblings I have, my mom, and grandma. I just find it really cool." 

" That is really cool actually. Ooh what are your siblings names? " 

" Sydney, Avery,and Tyler." She said, " Do you have any siblings?" She asked and I shook my head. We asked some more questions and then Sophie finally finished her ice cream. 

" Ready for the next thing on our list?" I asked and she nodded. " Alright let's go." I said as got up from the booth. We made it outside and in her car. 

" Where are we going?" She asked as she started the car. 

" We are going to Jo and Phil's Cafe." I said as she started to drive.
