Make A Name For Yourself

"How can you eat so much?" I asked Brendon as he started on the crusts I had left from my pizza.
Brendon and I were having that pizza we talked about earlier.
"'Cos I'm hungry" He replied simply
"Yeah but your so small and thin" I said watching his jaw munch on the crusts.
"I have a fast metabolism, I can eat like a pig but not put on any weight" He replied with his mouth full and just making sense.
He had just about fished his last piece when his phone began to ring.
He pulled it out his pocket and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Are you taking the mick?"
"Oh dude, thats great"
"Oh no, I'm having dinner with Scarlet."
"Yeah tomorrow"
"Kay see you then"
Was what Brendon had said into the gadget.
He looked at me with wide eyes and excitement spreading over his face.
"Um.. Brendon?" I asked unsure of what had been said on the other line of the phone call.
"That was Ryan" he paused to take a breath. "Someone checked out our band link and loved it and are coming to see us in three days." Happiness gleaming from his face.
"Oh my god, well done!" I squeaked.
He seemed lost for words.
"Do you wanna go celebrate at Ryans or somethings?" I asked him
"No, I'd like to just spend the night with you and celebrate tomorrow" He said calming down.
I nodded my head.
"You wanna get an ice cream or something? I've heard there not so good in here" he whispered to me while looking around to make sure none of the workers at the place heard us.
"Sounds like a great idea"
The waiter came over seeing our empty plates and took them away.
A few minutes later and he had brought back the bill Brendon had asked kindly for.
"How much?" I asked Brendon as he looked at the receipt
"$20"
"Shall we split it?"
"No, my treat." He smirked back
"No Brendon. I want to pay for some of it."
"Well I'm afraid I wont let you"
"I wont be your friend" I replied in a childish way
"Okay, how about you get the ice creams?" He replied back
"Fine, but there like only $3"
He shrugged his shoulders as he placed some money on the table.
"Come on then. Lets go" he told me while getting up from his seat.
I followed his suit.
