Our So Called Lives
Come To The Game
Amber set her gaze off to no where in particular. To go to the baseball game or not to go. That is the question.
Matt sat down next to her and said, "Penny for your thoughts."
Snapping out of her trance Amber looked at Matt and shrugged her shoulders.
"You okay?" Matt asked.
"Define okay." Amber answered.
"Alright, so that would be a no." Matt noted.
Amber chuckled and shook her head. "It isn't exactly a no, but it isn't a total yes."
"Ah so its in between." Matt said in a understanding tone.
"Yup." Amber replied.
"Have you decided if you are going to the game?" Matt asked.
"I want to..." Amber started.
"But?" Matt interrupted.
"But I'm pretty sure some drama will pop up and its pretty much drama I don't want." Amber continued.
"Hey they start shit we got your back." Matt puffed out his chest.
Amber smiled for a split second before a look of sadness came over her face.
"Nope you aren't supposed to look sad. Noooooo!" Matt exclaimed shaking Amber back and forth.
"Alright alright. I'll try not to look sad." Amber said holding her hands up in surrender.
"Why did you look sad just now anyway? If you don't mind answering." Matt asked.
"The only person who ever had my back was my sister, who was the only true friend I've ever had." Amber blurted out. Crap. I didn't want him knowing that. "Which if you can keep that to yourself that would be awesome."
"Don't worry I won't say anything as long as you know that you have us. We are your friends, though Zack is a different story. I swear he likes you." Matt said.
"Ughh you and Val both with that. " Amber groaned.
Matt laughed. "What? its true!"
"It is not." Amber replied.
"What you don't think anyone can actually like you? Well here is a news flash. Someone does." Matt remarked.
"Whatever you say Mattie." Amber grumbled.
"Mattie?" Matt raised his eyebrow.
"Yup. Mattie." Amber confirmed.
"Why Mattie?" Matt asked.
"Because I feel like calling you Mattie. Okay Mattie, so deal with it." Amber explained.
"Hmm. Okay, but since you are calling me Mattie I'm going to call you Ambie. Got it Ambie?" Matt declared.
"Yes Mattie dearest I got it." Amber replied.
"So Ambie. I think despite the drama that might happen you should totally go. I mean you would be supporting Zack your friend slash future lover." Matt explained.
"Future lover?" Amber raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. Future lover." Matt stated.
"I do like baseball." Amber changing the subject.
"See you should go because you like baseball and Zacky." Matt added.
"I didn't say I liked Zack." Amber clarified.
"Gasp you don't like Zack?" Matt gasped.
"Okay let me rephrase that Mattie. I don't like Zack in the way everyone is thinking. I do like him as a friend." Amber explained.
"For now." Matt replied. An idea popped in his head and grinned. He turned to Amber and pouted his lips.
Amber tried to hold in her laughter as she said, "Alright I'll go as long as you do not and I repeat DO NOT do that face again."
"Yay!" Matt pumped his fists up in the air, smiling. "Now you can tell Zack you are going to go because he wants to talk to you."
"What? Mattieeeeeeee!" Amber yelled as Matt grinned and waved as he walked away.
"This fucker. Damn you MATTTIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Amber yelled again.
"Mattie?" Zack grinned.
Amber turned to Zack. "Yes I am now calling that fucker Matt, Mattie."
"That fucker? You have got some vocabulary Ambs." Zack noted.
"Uh. Thanks." Amber smiled.
"So I'm guessing Matt convinced you to go?" Zack questioned.
"Maybeeeee." Amber smiled.
"Aww why do I get a maybe." Zack pouted.
Damn it. Matt was bad enough, now Zack. I'm going to die of their cuteness. "I'll tell you an answer as long as you do not and I repeat do not do that face ever again."
Zack let out a toothy grin. "Can't make any promises."
Amber rolled her eyes. "I'll go."
"Really?" Zack smiled.
"Yes, but know that I am not responsible for any drama that will happen." Amber said.
"Okay, but if drama happens we got your back." Zack replied.
"I know. Mattie said the same thing." Amber stated.
"Well damn he is taking my words. In the words of Ambs...That fucker." Zack squinted his eyes and shook his fist towards Matt.
Amber laughed. Maybe it won't be so bad going to the game.
