I walked to Starbucks. When I arrived, I was greeted by Marco.

"Hey Mad!" Marco greeted.

"Hi."

"Do you want to order something to drink?"

"Sure..."

"Hi! Welcome to Starbucks! What would you like to order?" the lady asked.

"I would like a hot cocoa." I said.

"I'll have a hot cocoa as well."

"Ok, that will be $5.00!"

"I'll pay, Maddy."

"Oh--thanks Marco..." I said as I was blushing.

Why is he acting so nice today? He even dressed in a tuxedo. It's not like we're going on a date or something. He actually looks cute today.

Marco said, "You want to come to my house after, because I'm inviting some friends that you could meet?"

"Um, sure, I guess."

"Okay! I'll drive you there."

"Nice." I felt nervous since I'm going to his house, but he's my best friend. I shouldn't feel nervous, or should I?

After we finished our hot cocoas, we walked out of Starbucks.

"Ladies first," he said as he pointed his hand towards the car.

Oh wow! He has a Ferrari LaFerrari! It's so clean and shiny!

"Maddy?"

"Wow! Marco! You have such a nice car!"

"Thanks!"

I sat in the front next to him. He keeps glances at me every like 2 seconds! This is so awkward! I took out my phone and tried to look busy.

"Madison."

"HUH?"

"I need to ask you something."

Oh no. OHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOO.

"What is it?"

"How old is your brother?"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's 6 years old. Why do you ask?"

"Eh. Just asking. Mad, we're here?"

"Oh."

His house looks so new!

"Hey guys! This is Madison, my friend from elementary school!"

"Hey! OMG! Marco told me sooo much about you!"

Oh great. Here we go again...

"Oh yeah—um—hey guys??"

"Is she like your girlfriend or something? I ship you guys!"

I awkwardly stared at Marco as he put his arm around me. "Ummm."

"You look cute today, Maddy."

"Oh, yea, umm, thanks. Uh—you do too???"

He squeezed me harder.

"Marco, where's the bathroom?"

"Here, follow me."

We walked through a large hallway that had family pictures in large frames. Finally, after walking like 10 miles, we reached the bathroom. It was a huge white room with stalls.

"Here we are, Mad."

"Thanks."

"I need to use the bathroom as well."
