• “Wow! That was such a good movie!” Kendra gushed as we went back to our cars. I looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.

    “Do you even know what it’s about?” she stared at me a moment looking like a blow up doll.

    “Um, yeah!” she looked away. She didn’t even know. It was a good movie but it wasn’t scary. Zane and I didn’t really talk but mostly in our thoughts.

    “So you guys want to go to the Burger restaurant?” I looked at Zane and shrugged.

    “Sure Kendra,” he said and put his hand around my waist. It surprised me. “My baby needs something to eat.” I looked over at her nervously. She smiled but it quivered.

    “Y-yeah of course,” she stuttered. We got back into our cars and we went to the dinner. “Well, that turned out pretty well.” I mumbled as we headed to the door and went in. Kendra and Grant followed slowly behind us. He laughed.

    “Yeah sure it did. Like it wasn’t awkward and weird.” he opened up the door for me and I went in. he held it open for Grant and Kendra. I smiled at him. He came back to me and Grant and Kendra found a seat in the corner. Zane slid in first then I went in beside him. Grant and Kendra were across from us. The place was busy and I figured we wouldn’t get served for a while.

    “So how are you two doing?” Kendra asked leaning over the table to us. She sat across from Zane. Grant watched me and I tried not to look up at him. Zane sighed and laid a lazy arm around my shoulder. I smiled.

    “Great! I just love my Zaney!” I said and playfully knocking him in the side. He grinned. It felt weird doing this. I hated being fake and plastic. But this is how I’m going to make Grant jealous.

    “Yeah, and I love you too,” he pinched my cheek and I tried to smile but it came forced. He saw and grinned wider.

    “Aww you’re just so cute!” I said.

    “Not as cute as you!” he said.

    “Well I have to give you that one!” I wiggled my eye brows and he glared for a moment but then smiled. “So yeah we’re doing great!” Kendra smiled but it wasn’t real. I saw it before. Grant looked mad but then Kendra put her hand on his lap and patted it.

    “We are too!” she expected us to ask but we didn’t. She sighed.

    “Hello how may I help you?” a waitress asked finally coming to take our orders.

    “Oh yeah!” Zane slapped my butt and winked at Grant. Grant merely smiled. I laughed and turned and glared at him.

    “Zane get out so I can sit back down.” I said and smiled. He grinned and stood up.

    “I’ll be right back,” Zane said and headed to the restroom. Kendra did the same. I sat back down in the seat and wished I had gone to. This was really awkward.

    “So you and Walker,” Grant said nodding. I nodded. This was the first time I had been alone with him since we broke up. “You really like him?” he asked. I looked up and narrowed my eyes at him.

    “Yeah I do.” he clenched his teeth.

    “I was thinking…” he said looking down. “I thought maybe we could—“

    “Back, did ya miss me?” Zane said with a grin and his arms open. I smiled.

    “Of course!” I giggled and he slid in next to me. Kendra came back and looked at Grant. “My mom said I need to be home in 10 minutes. So let’s go.” Grant stood up hastily and put his jacket back on.

    “Awe ok,” I said and pushed Zane to stand up.

    “Yeah sorry,” she said quickly. Zane smirked.

    “OK well bye,” I said and waved. She waved but frowned. Her and Grant walked out and we watched them get into the car and drive away. What was Grant going to tell me? Zane gently starting gliding his hand down to my butt. I slapped it and threw it back at him then went out the door.

    “Aw come on!” he complained. I rolled my eyes and got into his car.
