It's still raining, and AJ is comparing how old her bike is to mine. "Is. That 4 pegs mine only has 3, the old B lady really came through this year, huh?"
...
"Yo danny, what's up? I've been praising something that's not me for at least 12 mins. Now you know that isn't me, bud. What's going up there? "
"hey aj you know a jasmine,"
"No," she says, confident but quick
"Well, she's kinda meeting us at the arcade,"
Skidddd
Aj stops her bike in front of me, almost sending me, making me crash into her
Staring at me with the force of 3459 suns (yeah, that specific number was aj's thing)
"What?" I say, shaky and nervous
"Not cool, dude," she says
"Bro, she ambushed me,"
"I don't see any bruises," Aj says, dead serious
"Look I told her I couldn't tutor her today because of our plans and then she just said she'll see me there, plus isn't it good I'm talking to a girl maybe then people will stop thinking we go out"
I say jokingly
Aj looks stunned
"Since when did you start caring what other people think?" she said with a judging face
"Let's just keep going. This rain is coming down hard," she turns, and we ride in 2 mins of silence
Before we enter the arcade, she looks at me and says, "Happy birthday, daniel."
Now quick back story on juice he's been a long time friend of my aunt and basically part of the family if your uncle was like your cousin and big brother As well as your pet goldfish rolled into one
As we walk into the arcade, juice welcomes us like he welcomes all his customers "HEYOOOOO I HOPE YOU THIRSY FOR WHAT THE JUICE MAN HAS INSTORE get it in store"
"Never gets old j man" aj says as she walks to our normal booth some lil kids are sitting there she beacons for them to move they get up without hesitation and she plops down exhales slowly and folds her arms
I go dap up juice. "Hey Juice, can we get 2 rainy days and a big pie with the usual"
"You got it lil boss man, and hey happy birthday"
It doesn't feel like one rn
I say " thanks" and head on over the were aj is sitting
And we sit in more silence
Until the food arrives, "Here you guys go," says juice, then Aj's entire mood flips, and she takes three bites before even saying thank you to juice
She then finishes the slice in her at me with a smile and says, " You're a dick head danny."
I smile back, happy aj isn't upset anymore wait. "im a what"
