The
Truth Behind a Smile#14
I
pulled into Matt's driveway. And what i saw there, amazed me. I bet
my house could fit into his house at least fifty times and my house
is an average size. But Matt's house was also beautiful. I walked
up to the door and rang the doorbell.
"Macy."
"Hey." I stepped in and i was amazed all over again. I
cant even begin to explain. The floors were made of hardwood
flooring that shined. The furniture had to cost a fortune.
"Wow, your house is amazing." I was ashamed of the pig
pen that i called home.
"Thanks. The gameroom is down here." I followed Matt down
hallways and some stairs. A person could get lost in his house.
Matt started up the air hockey machine and we began to play.
I hadnt improved much from the last time. He beat three times
in a row when my dad called.
"Hold on a sec, Matt. I should take this." Even though i
dont want to i added in my head.
"Hello?"
"And where might you be?"
"Im at a friend's house. I'll be back in an hour or so."
And then i hung up. But my dad called again.
"What?"
"Be back in ten minutes."
"No." And i hung up again.
"Everything okay, Macy?" Matt asked.
"Oh yeah, my dad wanted to know when i was coming home. So i
said an hour."
"Do you want to stay for dinner? My parents dont come home for
another couple hours."
"Yeah sure." I texted my dad telling him. He never
responded. Matt and I played a couple more games of air hockey, in
which i won one game. But I could tell Matt let me win.
"So what do you want for dinner? We could order out or find
something in the fridge."
"Doesnt matter."
"Your the guest, you can pick."
"Do you know how much i hate being put on the spot like
this?" Matt just laughed.
"Fine, I'll heat up some pizza."
"You are much better at deciding than i am." Plus, I dont
have much of a decision to make when it comes to eating. It's
either nothing or something i can scrounge up.
"How hungry are you?"
"Starving.
"So you'll be eating a lot?"
"I think that's what starving means,
Matt."
