Chapter 36

Dan's POV

Today is the day I "bond" with Matt, Francisca's guardian, Francisca's step father, and I guess my step father too, or ex....

I don't know how we will come out of today, but I doubt we will become besties, considering we barley spoke a word to each other on the ride here.

We are at the park now, just waking and eating hotdogs that we bought earlier.

I have anticipated that this was going to be awkward, but I didn't know it was going to be this awkward.

We haven't spoken a word to each other, well other than when Matt asked if I wanted a hotdog. Other than that, not a word.

As much as I want the silence and the awkwardness to stop, I have no idea what we are supposed to be talking about.

We end up sitting on a park bench, still not taking, still not making eye contact, still nothing.

But I do see Matt out of the corner of my eye glance at me a few times. I'm guessing he's as much of a fan of the awkwardness as I am.

"So....how is school?" Matt finally asks.

"Good good"
