Runaway // Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 6

"Remember our little snow cone incident." Matt laughed with me joining in.

"I was just thinking about that." I giggled.

"You better not do it again." He warned, trying to keep a straight face but failed.

I moved aside, trying to grab my phone out of my pocket. Matt wasn't looking where he was going, complete bullshit, and crashed his snow cone on my shirt, thankfully not getting it on my white cardigan. I dropped my snowcone since the coldness startled me.

I pulled off my cardigan and glared at Matt. I stood there feeling gross since my wet shirt was clinging to me.

"You little fucker." I shook my head at him.

You see this boy knew what he was doing. He had it easy with taking off his shirt, it was normal for a guy. As for me, I was a girl. I couldn't just take off this dirty shirt in public until Matt bought me a new one.

"I hope you know that you're buying me a new top." I warned him.

"Let's go." He was trying so hard not to laugh since I was mad, but he ended up laughing.

I lightly shoved him, laughing a little too. For a guy with tattoos, he was still a childish boy, that I loved. We walked over to a shop that had some nice tops.

I picked out a maroon top that was much more nicer with a design on it. The price tag read $35. That was about the same amount I spent on Matt, when this happened to him. I showed him the shirt and he paid for it with ease.

We went over to the changing rooms and he stood outside while I put on the shirt. I came out, pulling on my cardigan. We went back to the car to put away my dirty shirt and then waited for Jack and Sammy at the ferris wheel .

They got off and joined us. Those two girls they saw in line had boyfriends so they ended up going together.

"New top?" Sammy asked, confused.

"I don't even want to know." Jack shook his head, laughing.

We walked back to the car once the sun began to set. I had a lot of fun with these three idiots. Matt had bought a snapback which said 'Obey' and had placed it on his head. He looked really good.

"Let's go eat." Jack called out. We began throwing in ideas of where to eat before deciding place that was famous for tacos.

Once we reached, we went in to go get the takeout since we had placed an order. We split the bill and I grabbed the bag. I walked ahead of the boys, taking it to the car. I unlocked it and placed the bag inside.

"I can't wait to try these." I smiled, but got no responses from the other guys. I frowned and looked around.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! " A chanting crowd of 10 people gathered around Matt and Grayson.

I ran over to Sammy and Jack. Jack took one look at me and walked me away from there. I watched as Sammy tried to convince Matt to leave.

"You need to go sit in the car. It isn't safe for you out here." Jack's eyes were traveling back to the crowd and than me.

"Not until Matt gets in the car too." I released myself from his grip and walked over to Matt.

I held Matt's shoulder, causing him to turn to me. "Matt let's go, please." I rushed the words out, avoiding eye contact with Grayson.

Matt gave in since I was almsot pleading him to let it go. I didn't want him getting hurt. I didn't want Sammy or Jack either if they joined in. I held onto Matt's arm with Sammy on the other side of me as we walked back to the car.
