"No, I told you Im not going." Zach mumbled through the locked door that separated her and Tavi.
"Yes you are!" She sighed knowing yelling would get her nowhere. "Come on it won't be too bad. Its as simple going to go see some old friends. Hes not gonna bite, ya know
"That's what you say now! Look, I don't want to see him at all."
"Oh, whatever, you know that deep down, you truly want to see him. Tavi teased in a singsong voice.
"No I do not! You aren't helping yourself.
"Then prove it to me. Go, and act civilized for two hours!" Tavi demanded.
The door cracked open, and a single eye was peeking out at Tavi.
"Will you win me a green chicken from the fair?"
"I guess."
"Okay!"
"That will be twenty-eight seventy-three."
Pete handed the cashier the money and ,with the help of Patrick, brought the food to a table in the back.
"That's a lot of food for the two of us." Patrick stated looking at the food laid out before him
"Who said it was just the two of us?" Patrick eyed him suspiciously until he began rearranging the condiments as they waited for the mystery guests.
"I still don't know why I agreed to come with you." Zach said, looking at the passing scenery through the passenger window.
"Because you love me and green chickens."
"Oh, yea, I forgot about you..."
"That is so rude!!" Tavi gasped, faking sadness and hurt.
"You know Ill pretend to love you till the end." Zach said, smiling.
"Oh, thank you! How ever can I repay you?"
"By turning this car around in the direction of home."
"Uh, no, not happening."
"Cant say I didn't try." Zach sighed, shrugging her shoulders and returned her gaze toward the passenger window.
"Well, darling. Were here."
"You are aware that I'm doing this for you and to prove that there isn't any connection between me and Stump?"
"I am. Now get out of the car."
The two of them headed towards the pizzeria and through it's plexiglass doors.
"How much longer are we going to have to wait?' Patrick asked, growing impatient.
"Not too much longer."
Hate is a strong word,
but i really, really, really don't like you.
Pete smirked at the sight of Tavi walking in, followed by another girl right behind her. Patrick saw Pete smirk, and twisted around in his chair to see what he was looking at.
"No" Patrick whispered.
"Hey Pete!" Tavi said, giving Pete a quick hug.
"It's good to see you again Tavi!" Pete replied.
"Oh, well, I'm sure you remember my friend, Zach." Tavi motioned over to her dear friend, putting her on the spotlight.
"Uh, hi." Zach smiled, glaring at her friend. Zach glanced at Patrick and saw that he was staring at her too, but she turned away after giving him a look of abhorrence.
They both took their seats; Zach's was unfortunately next to his. Tavi and Pete began to reminisced about memories that weren't discussed hours earlier. This left the other two to awkwardly pick and prod their food; the tense made it more uncomfortable situation. It was unnoticed to the two flirting in the corner leaving their best friends to suffer.
"So, I see you're eating some pizza." Patrick said uncomfortably.
"No shit, Sherlock." Zach grumbled before taking a bit of her slice of veggie pizza.
"Look, I'm trying to start a conversation here. Help me out here."
Zach's head shot up and looked sharply at Patrick.
"Well, you know what? I don't want to talk to you! Maybe I don't want to be here at all!" Zach hissed at Patrick, glaring him in the eyes.
"Well, you know the door is right there and I don't have you in shackles and chains, so you could just walk your self right out of my sight." Patrick said calmly, gesturing to the door.
"Ugh! Why do you have to be such an ass!?"
"You know you have matured any since high school. I'm glad things didn't work between us."
Zach screamed as she left the pizza parlor, getting stares and snide comments about her choice of words.
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you.
Zach screamed as she left the pizza parlor, getting stares and snide comments about her choice of words.
Tavi sighed and turned to Pete. "Looks like I have to go, sorry."
"Don't be. Call you later?" Tavi eyes sparkled with excitement, but tried to play it off with a light nod. She pecked him on the cheek and waved to Patrick before she following Zach's trail. Tavi walked back towards the parking lot where the car to find Zach where she thought she would be.
She opened the door to the sounds of stifled crying. "I guess you were right, Tai, I can't be civil." Zach sniffled.
"Look I'm always on your side, but this time Patrick's right. Your twenty-one, you need to start acting like it."
"You're right. I really do. I just wish he didn't have to be the one to say it."
"Yes, but right now it's time for some cheering up." Tavi grinned, pulling out her Sidekick and scanned quickly through the address book until spotting the number.
"Hello, is this Candy?"
