Chapter 4

“So, you gonna order anything?” Chad asked me with a slightly inquisitive look. He just kept looking at me, but I didn’t say a word. It finally dawned on me that I had been like that from the moment I stepped up to the counter, so I had better say something clever before it was too late.

“I don’t know, do you come on the menu?” was my response. After the words left my lips, I wanted to run away and hide in the nearest hole I could find. Even the people behind me snickered.

I didn’t know if this guy was gay or not, and I certainly didn’t want to do anything that would get spit in my food. But even if he was gay, I would have never been so out there like that. Chad just stayed there looking at me, so I figured I would try my hand at ordering again.

“Yeah, I’ll take a number six.” I wasn’t even sure what a number six was, I just saw the number and ran with it.

“Wow, you must really be hungry,” Chad mused as he rang up my order. “That will be six twenty-five.”
