Chapter fifteen
"He's here!" Skylar declares. "I told him not to come up, by the way, so he's downstairs. By the way, Matt's meeting us." 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWdKTJMkb
My heart sinks. Well, at least he's still coming. Skylar checks her hair again. "You made me look so cute! Thanks, Vee."
"Vee?" I ask
"Yeah, that's my nickname for you." I grab a mini backpack and put some money and my phone in it.
"You don't need to bring money."
"Why? I'm probably gonna have to spend some money."
"No. Matt and Jon will take care of it."
"You're going on an actual date with Jon. I'm not on a date. I'm hanging out with friends." she turns to me taking my hands in hers.
"Look, I know Matt can be verbally very rude but he's a gentleman. He won't let you pay for anything. Mark my words. His dad is an absolute sweetheart. It's just the way he was raised. Ready?" she asks with a huge smile on her face. She's truly happy. Like, I've never met Jon but I can tell he makes her happy.
"Yep." She grabs my hand and we walk out the door.
When we get downstairs I look out the window and see an old looking red pickup truck. "There he is!" Skylar squeals and she basically runs out the door. I have to speed up to catch up with her.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNmNGWwSjV
When I reach outside. I see Skylar hugging a blonde guy. "Novah, hurry!" Skylar shouts. Jon walks up to me with Skylar by his side. He has curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and the cutest little dimples. Reminds me of a little cherub. He's adorable and I can tell what Skylar meant when she said Matt and Jon are very different guys. Jon looks like a cute little schoolboy and Matt looks like a complete "bad boy" with the tattoos and everything. "This is Novah. You should call her Vee."
"Hey, I never agreed to that nickname."
"Hi, I'm Jon." he holds out his hand and I shake it.
"Novah," I reply and we shake hands.
"Hey, so since there are only two seats, if you want, I can sit in the back and you two can sit in the front. Unless one of you guys wants to sit in the back." Jon says.
"Well, if I sit in the back my hair will get messed up," Skylar says
"Yeah, same." I agree
"Okay." he gives Skylar a kiss on her forehead and then hands her the keys. "I don't know who's driving but you guys can decide. I'll be in the back"
"You are going to look to look so cute with windblown hair." she praises. He smiles at her. Skylar walks to the driver's side and gets in.
"Take it easy Sky. Some people want to make it to the carnival alive." Jon shouts from the back.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOam3zR9GO
Skylar giggles.
"Can't make any promises," she replies. I get in the passenger side. 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8lYEdYYPh
"Isn't he cute?" she asks. He makes her act like a little school girl and I love that.
"Adorable." He has a cute sense of humor. Unlike Matt. Matt's funny but in an inappropriate, you-know-you're-not-supposed-to-be-saying-that way. I like Jon.
We pull into the carnival and its packed. It takes us ten minutes to find a spot.....in the grass. We all get out of the car. "Ready?" he asks us.
"Yep," we both say.
"Did I tell you how gorgeous you look?" he whispers, rather loudly. I feel like such a third-wheeler. We walk up to the entrance where there's a long line to get tickets. Its five o clock right now. "There he is," Jon announces, through all the noisiness. Matt walks up to us as we're in the line with a red hoodie and black jeans on. Jon daps Matt up and he hugs Skylar briefly. Jon says something to Matt that I can't hear and Matt laughs. Matt walks up next to me and I can feel him looking at me. He hasn't said a word to me.
"Are you gonna say hi or what?" he says in my ear so that I can hear him. It's really loud out here. I turn around and face him. I cross my arms and flip my hair over my shoulders. He looks me over once.
"I like how you say hi to them and you don't even acknowledge my presence. That's totally not rude."
"You clean up well," he says.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" I ask abruptly. I turn my back on him and I see Jon give him a disappointed look. Matt sighs loudly.
"I'm sorry for being such an ass since I've met you. I really do want to be friends with you," 376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcBnEF4g7
Just friends?, I ask in my head, secretly a little bit disappointed
"Instead of being frenemies but you have to understand that that's just kind of how I am. I like to have a little fun, you know? And I'm definitely gonna try to make tonight fun. Looks like Sky and Jon are too busy up each other's ass so its just me and you." I try to stifle a giggle to prevent him from thinking that I'm not still mad at him. He snakes his arm around my waist.
"I thought you wanted to just be friends?" I ask.
