Chapter 2

I hate walking to Tim Horton's, I walk very slow while Jeremy walks fast. Our other friends Liam and Owen don't give a shit at all if I'm tired, Jeremy is accustomed to giving me a handicap. Makes me feel like useless baggage but oh well

I walk in and the familiar scent of coffee and freshly cooked food comes to my nose, I sniff around like some dog. Jeremy smiles at me, what a weirdo.

We stand in line for the longest time, we usually come here for lunch rarely since I hate walking here. It's not very far but I don't get much exercise.

"I wish I was in class instead…." Jeremy glares at me "I'm missing class because of you and YOUR complaining" he then lightens up "well… I just wish we had a couch to sit on while we wait" I exasperate "why the hell would they have a damn couch here?" he raises an eyebrow "I don't know, it would be good for business" "but they would have to clean it" I glare at him. Why can't I just say stuff without a person the correct it?

Finally, we're able to order. Obviously, I get some peppermint tea with milk and sugar. Jeremy the psycho likes icecaps. I used to like them but now I frown on people who do.

We sit at a table by the window, Jeremy always lets me choose where we sit. "Remember when we were little and our moms brought us here. We'd get into fights about where to sit. I'd want to window seat and you'd want the seats with the cushions."

he shyly looked away "stop that's embarrassing!" he flushed with a smile "you used to cry a lot, and I was the cool one" he laughed softly "you used to make a fort with couch cushions and keep a flashlight on all night" "Woah Woah excuse me, we don't talk about that. We talk about how you used to hand my hand while we slept during sleepovers" I proudly pronounce.

Jeremy's eyes widen and he shifts in his seat "i was a kid ok" he fidgets, face getting oddly red. I laughed at how embarresed he must be "dont get so red, your acting suspicious" I lean in and widen an eye. He's startled and looks away and looks back and leans in "what do you mean?" he says quietly

Wha what is this?! We're too close. Jeremy leans back "im sorry I was just confused as to why you're saying I'm acting strange" he spits out, I smile "why are you so shocked, we were having a moment!" I joked, Jeremy looked like he didn't get the joke tho, his eyes widen "i- I- shut up" he laughs, he seems happy. He's acting very strange tho.
