the next morning , faye was also sat at the table eating cereal with us.

"good morning!" she said , she's very cheerful.

i guess at some point fezco went back to that apartment building to pick her up , i don't really know what happened but i didn't bother to ask.

ashtray glared at her , and then fez and stood up , taking his cereal with him.

so i guess he doesn't like faye.

"mornin." fezco answered , shrugging ashtray off.

i put my bowl in the sink , making my way to my room to change and get ready before we all went to the store.

"yo mal! you ready?" fezco yelled from down the hall as i finished putting my shoes on , grabbing my phone.

i walked out , seeing the three of them standing by the door.

"god damn. take fucking forever." ashtray mumbled , walking out of the door first.

"shut up." i rolled my eyes , getting in the car after faye.

opening the store door , fezco sat in his usual spot near the counter , faye sat on the little thing the ice cream was in. and i decided to go back in the freezers with ashtray.

shocker , i know.

"fuck you want?" ashtrays head shot up as i walked in.

"there's no where to sit out there , asshole." i answered , sitting in a chair he had in here.

he shook his head , "find somewhere."

"no." i responded , pulling out my phone to ignore anything else he said.

"why didn't you come outside when i told you last night?" he asked me.

"i was saying bye to my friends." i answered , putting my phone on the table.

me and miles are just friends.. friends that kissed..

"show me the video." he spoke again , which took me off guard that it wasn't some smart remark.

why are me and ashtray getting along? this isn't normal.

i chuckled , grabbing my phone and going to the video and then setting it on the table again so he could watch it.

"he beat his asssss." i laughed , watching fezco push cassie off him.

"good , man's a fucking weirdo." he answered , looking at me.

i nodded in agreement , still thinking about how me and him are getting along for the first time in.. a very long time.

but i made sure not say anything , it was.. nice. not arguing with him.

"soo.." i started to make small talk , for some reason getting nervous when we made eye contact.

"hold on." he looked away , standing up and walking over to the glass.

"what?" i asked , following behind him to see lexi howard walk in.

"oh my.." i mumbled , remembering i saw lexi and fez talking on the couch last night.

"lexi howard." fezco smiled at her.

"aww." i mumbled , tapping his arm out of excitement.

but once he didn't get mad and tell me to stop , i looked at him and moved my hand. what is happening right now , why is ashtray being nice to me??

"are you guys.." lexi noticed faye sitting there , and looked at her. to which , faye waved.

"yeah- no she's staying with me for a bit... but- but she's cool though." fezco answered.

"oh my god." i mumbled , rolling my eyes.

looking away for one moment , i heard footsteps and ashtray let out a breathe which made me turn around again.

"sup man.." fez greeted none other than cal fucking jacobs.

"you got any spearmint gum?"

"i don't know man... the gums right here."

"this your store?"

"it's a family business."

"your parents own it?"

"you usually ask this many questions?"

"just you."

i listened closely to what they were saying , casually glancing over at ashtray , we were standing really close together and neither of us have moved at all.. maybe it's just because of whats going on.

"she tell you who i am?" cal asked , referring to lexi.

"nah , man." fezco answered , glancing at me and ashtray and then lexi.

"are you a cop?" faye asked cal , making me chuckle.

"no." cal shook his head.

i held my breath the second cal put his hand in his pocket , hearing a click sound.

i started to make my way to the freezer door , i don't know what i will do , but no way in hell is this happening.

but before i could even reach for the handle , ashtray gripped my waist and pulled me back.

before i could react to this , he quickly grabbed a cereal box and pulled out a gun. ohhhh. yeah. okay that's a better idea anyway.

as cal slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket , ashtray cocked the gun and started walking to the freezer door.

i cant lie , ashtray looks badass right now.

"just a concerned father." cal put $20 on the counter , before grabbing his gum and walking out.

what the hell is wrong with that family.
