No one's POV
Matthew is sitting in the cafeteria bored and started at the table. A newspaper landed in front of his face and the teen read the headline.Woman Broke Out of Prison Matthew read.
"A newspaper fell in front of me." Matthew said stating the obvious.
"Look at the picture." Freddie said and Matthew looked at a mug shot of the woman. "Read the red underline." Known Child Molester. Matthew looked at Freddie and looked at the column. Matthew pointed at the newspaper.
"Hey look at that. Our names made it in the newspaper." Matthew said and smiled. Freddie grabbed the newspaper from Matthew's hand, hard and looked at it. Freddie noticed their first names only and sighed relieved. The teen looked at his best friend that had his hand out for a high-five. "Alright." Freddie just looked at him and the skater ran his hand through his hair.
"Glad they didn't put our last names in it," Freddie said relieved.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Its normal," Matthew pointed out.
"Really. What's so normal about getting-" Freddie said getting interrupted by Carly and Sam sitting at their table.
"What's that?" Carly asked and Freddie somehow ended up shoving the page in his mouth getting disgusted looks from the girls at the table.
"It isn't the first time he ate something he didn't want anyone to see. When we were ten he had the note the principal gave him to give to his dad for lunch." Matthew said and Freddie swallowed the paper.
"I had my reasons." Freddie said and started to bite his finger nail. Freddie's hand ended up getting smacked on the table.
"Don't bite your finger nails. You have a nasty habit," Matthew said. "Do I have to put that stuff that moms put on your thumb when you were a baby to keep you from sucking on it, on your nails to keep you from biting because I will."
"Why does it annoy when I do that?" Freddie demanded.
"It grinds my gears," Matthew answered.
"Who says that?" Freddie asked.
"You say 'steams my clams,'" Matthew countered.
"Why did you move here?" Carly asked and Matthew looked at her, not wanting to answer that.
"He's awesome once you get to know him until he tries to kill you with a golf cart." Freddie said changing the subject knowing his best friend doesn't want to mention it.
"It was an accident." Matthew said loudly at Freddie.
"What happened?" Carly asked.
"Last summer me and him went to this golf course thing-" Freddie got interrupted.
"You told us went to visit your dad," Sam replied.
"I did. My dad lives in the same town as Matt," Freddie explained. "Anyway we wanted to drive the golf cart around so he drove as fast as the cart can go but he almost crashed into a car."
"I bought you an ice cream cone," Matthew said.
"You ate it," Freddie replied.
"I apologized." Matthew said and looked at Freddie. Matthew looked at the table trying to absorb that Miss. Maderos broke out of jail and wondered how many ten year old boys she touched after she broke out. Matthew looked at Freddie and knew he was thinking the same thing which was a reason they were best friends, because they know what each other were thinking.
Freddie, Carly, and Sam went to Matthew's house. Freddie looked in Matthew's house through the window to see his friend's mom putting on high heels. Matthew's mom Marian looked at Freddie and walked to the door letting them in. Marian stopped Freddie and looked at Sam thinking their dating.
"She's a keeper." Marian said to Freddie. She was talking about Sam and Freddie looked at Sam. Freddie looked at Marian.
"We're not-" Freddie said getting interrupted.
"I know." Marian said and the teens went outside to see Matthew sitting on bench with a slightly chubby grey cat sleeping on his lap purring. Freddie walked up to Matthew.
"Hi Matt. Mr. Demanding." Freddie said and patted the cat who's name is Mr. Demanding.
Freddie's POV
Mr. Demanding. Strange name for a cat and looked at my best friend. I remember asking Matt why he named his cat that and he said that Mr. Demanding seemed like he was always demanding for more food. I sat next to Matt on the bench and patted the cat. Carly reached out to pat Mr. Demanding and he hissed at Carly after waking up. Matt looked at his pet and looked at Carly.
"He doesn't like you." Matt said trying not to smile and looked at the furry animal. "No. Bad cat. No hissing at people." The grey cay looked at my two friends and turned away from them facing me. The cat fell asleep.
"Your mom's putting on high heels," I said.
"Probably going to enjoy a pole or something." Matt said and I shrugged. Hey can't help it if his mom is a stripper. I pick having a mom that strips over an overprotective mom anyday. I know Matt would have an overprotective mom other than a mom that strips.
"Why aren't you in school?" I asked a little concered for my friend's education and Matt pointed at a newspaper that I realized I'm sitting on. I grabbed it and noticed that a man was murdered. "Are you scared over a murder?" I teased and he pointed at the article. I looked at it and realized that it's near where we live. I noticed that Matt wiped some tears away and looked up at the sky.
"I like to look up at the sky and see what shapes I can find in the clouds." Matt said, his face a mask with no emotions. Matt put his cat on the ground and got up. Matt laid on the grass and Mr. Demanding plopped right on top of Matt making himself at home. I followed Matt's lead and did the same. Carly and Sam did the same. I looked up at the sky and pointed.
"A mouse talking to a duck." Matt said and chuckled. I scanned the clouds.
"I see a lady enjoying a pole." I said, my perverted self slightly coming out. Matt looked at me and looked at the clouds.
"I see a whale." Sam replied and smiled.
"I see a hand," Carly said.
"No it's not. I see an alien pushing a baby carriage." Matt said. This time it was me who looked at him confused and I looked at the clouds soaking in the sun. Might as well stay out in the sun and clouds before my mom decides to put on cloud block and sun screen on me. I closed my eyes soon falling asleep.
Dream
I stand at the edge of an alley watching Miss. Maderos holding a knife to some guy's neck.
"Tell me where they are," Miss. Maderos demanded.
"I don't know who you're talking about." The guy said. Damn, Miss. Maderos sure is even more creepy than seven years ago. I thought and hoped they won't see me.
"Matthew and Freddie," Miss. Maderos said.
"I know Freddie but I don't know who Matthew is," The guy replied.
"Skater hair, rockish clothes, and purple eyes," Miss. Maderos said.
"Don't know where he lives," The guy replied.
"Liar!" Miss. Maderos yelled and slit the man's throat. I jumped back. When she said she'll kill to find us, she'll literally ment it. I thought and looked at Miss. Maderos.'
Carly's POV
I watched Freddie fall asleep and the demented cat jumped off Matthew's stomach. The cat climbed on Freddie's stomach and watched Freddie sleep. I turned to Sam.
"Do you think Matthew and Freddie are hiding something from us?" I asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Sam replied.
"Well, we promised no more secrets." I said, wondering what Freddie might be hiding. I watched Freddie shot up from sleeping, noticing the cat watching him.
Freddie looked at Matt. "Your cat is stalkerish." Freddie commented and the cat, Mr. Demanding, I think jumped off Freddie and climbed on top of Matt's stomach.
"Why did you name your cat Mr. Demanding?" I asked.
"He always seemed to demand for more food. Then Freddie called him Mr. Demanding and the name seemed to stick with him." Matt explained and pulled Mr. Demanding closer to him. Matt scratched behind Mr. Demanding's ears, then kissed the cat's head, and Matt's mom walked in the backyard holding a phone.
"Matt. Someone wants to talk to you," Matt's mom said. I looked at her clothing which was high heels, a short skirt, and shirt that shows her stomach which was flat. I'm thinking she's a vegetarian. Matt got up holding Mr. Demanding and walked to his mom. Matt looked at what she was wearing and slightly rolled his eyes. Freddie followed.
"Is that what you noramlly wear?" I asked slightly confused.
"This is my clubbing outfit," Matt's mom answered.
"Isn't that a little too showy?" I asked confused.
"I'm going clubbing. Most people dress like this." Matt's mom answered and then the two boy's walked out of the house.
"I'll give you a fire prevention tip: Don't throw fireballs into crowds of people like you're in Street Fighter 2." Matt said to his mom and I arched an eyebrow as his mom spanked him. Matt got a weird look on his face and looked at his mom and Freddie raised an eyebrow at that.
A/N: They found that Miss. Maderos is out of prision and is looking for them. Carly and Sam knows that Freddie is hiding something. A shout out to my cat Mr. Demanding. He was my cat till he died.
R.I.P. Mr. Demanding, you are truly missed.
