Me, Myself, & My Babies

14

Madison stopped and looked at me.

I motioned to the Jeep and then she told Chance.

They both started swimming.

Darren and I began walking back to our spot so I could grab my "tourist" shirt. We began walking to the Jeep when I felt someone wet hug me.

"Madison!" I wiggled out of her grasp.

"What?" She asked innocently.

I shook my head as we got to the Jeep.

I sat in the back with Madison as we started to leave.

-

We pulled in to a grocery store parking lot.

"What should we get?" Darren shut the Jeep off.

"Who's Jeep is this?" I randomly asked.

"Mine" Chance looked over his shoulder at me.

"Let's have walking tacos!" Madison exclaimed.

We got out and headed into the store.

"Madison and Chance, could you guys get the meat, cheese, and sour cream?" Darren asked them.

They nodded, their clothe still damp, and headed off in the store.

Darren and I went to get the chips, lettuce and tomatoes.

"Where we going to cook it?" I asked while holding the chips and lettuce.

"Oh yeah" realization hit him. We were in the fresh fruits/vegetables part. He put four tomatoes in a bag the store provided.

"Never mind, we can cook at my house" I looked at him.

"Alright" he smiled.

We walked around the rest of the store looking for our best friends.

"Why haven't I seen you around school before?" Darren asked.

"Well, one thing is because you're a junior and I'm a sophomore" he nodded.

"You're pretty popular, I'm pretty invisible, is all making sense now?" I teased. He lightly pushed me.

"You are pretty invisible, actually"

"Yeah, well not after I started hanging around with you" we walked down to the dairy products.

"Why is that?" He ran his hands through his dirty blonde hair.

"Well, for one thing I left the school with you and your best friend"

"It's not that anyone saw us" his blue-grey eyes looked over at me.

"True, but it'll be weird if it got noticed"

"We don't really talk to each other in school, I don't think it's that noticeable"

"Oh... yeah" I quietly said. Well, that put me down a little.

"Found them" Darren looked straight ahead.

Madison was grabbing cheese.

"Get the blended cheese" Chance whined.

"No, I like cheddar" she declared.

Chance rolled his eyes.

We all walked up to the check out and Darren paid for it.

By time we got to my house it was two in the afternoon, school was almost over so there's no point in going back.

We sat the groceries on the counter and began cooking. Chance said he wanted to cook it, so we let him.

"Mase, is it okay if I borrow some of your clothes?" Madison asked as she was already going upstairs to my room.

"You already know the answer" I hollered back.

I turned back to Darren, "Are you going to go back and change or do you want to borrow some clothes?" I asked unsure.

"I'll be back in a little bit" he told me as he grabbed the keys from the kitchen and left.

Madison came down in black joggers and a cream colored tank top.

I heard Chance say profanities as he was cooking the meat.

"Want help?" Madison asked him.

"I'm going to go change" I told the two as I went to my room.

I grabbed black basketball shorts and a tye-dyed shirt.

I messily put my hair up in a ponytail. I know gross, probably wondering "why aren't you gonna take a shower?" Well, it's because;

1. I'm lazy.
2. It's too time consuming as of this moment.
And...
3. I'm hoping my mom won't smell the salt water on us.

I walked back downstairs smelling the meat mixed with taco seasoning.

Yum.
