Living In A Shadow Of A Phenom
Campfire Stories
As we arrived back to the fire, Matt was now sitting on the ground, fuming. Jimmy was trying to calm him down, while Johnny was throwing twigs into the fire.
"What happened?" I asked, letting go of Zacky's hand.
"Matt just needs some time to cool off..." replied Brian.
I nodded and sat down on the ground. Zacky, on the other hand, didn't know whether or not to sit next to me or somewhere else.
"Come...sit here..." I smiled.
He nodded and sat down next to me. Brian looked at us and shook his head.
"I knew it..." he said under his breath.
We all sat around the fire and waited for the pizza to arrive. Johnny kept telling stupid jokes and Jimmy would add on to them. It was fun sitting around the fire with everyone, but it was better now that Zacky and I started to talk again.
The pizza finally arrived and Matt was ready to give the guy hell, when Brian stopped him.
"Sorry for the wait..." said the delivery guy.
"It's fine...how much?" asked Johnny.
They paid the guy and brought the pizzas over to the fire. Johnny started handing out pizzas to every one on small paper plates. I looked over at Matt who was still fuming.
"What's going on with you Matt?" I blurted out without thinking.
He turned and looked at me and then shrugged.
"It's nothing to concern you..." he said abruptly.
I looked at him for a few minutes and then just shrugged. Brian shook his head and finished eating his pizza.
"Who wants to tell some stories..." he asked.
"What...like campfire stories?" replied Jimmy.
"Well...yeah..." said Brian.
We all looked at each other and shrugged.
"Oooo I got one..." said Johnny.
We all looked at him with curioustiy.
"This one time....at band camp...." he chuckled.
"OH JOHNNY! NOT THAT KIND OF STORY!" yelled Matt.
We all looked at him in shock. He was now standing, with clenched fists.
"Matt what's going on with you dude?" asked Zacky.
"Nothing alright!" he fumed and stormed away.
"What the hell? What the fuck is wrong with him?" asked Jimmy.
I was starting to really ask myself that question about Matt too.
"Maybe he's PMS-ing..." laughed Johnny, using air quotes.
I rolled my eyes and went to stand up when Brian stopped me.
"No...I'll go..." he said and followed after Matt.
Jimmy, Zacky, Johnny and I all looked at one another and shrugged. I hope everything was alright with Matt, I thought as I bit into my slice of pizza.
"What happened?" I asked, letting go of Zacky's hand.
