"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MDXBgTnUL
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ODMRYwU5M
"Joe's? Hmm, okay. I haven't been there in months." She flipped on her signal, turning into the driveway happily. After she parked, we both stepped out of the car and closed the doors, Ellie pressing a button and smiling when the 'beep beep' of the car confirmed it was locked. "That is so satisfying." Ellie commented. I shook my head at her jokingly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMDlLvpQqi

We walked into a dingy looking bar that was almost vacant, aside from two or three people scattered about. One was sitting at the bar, the other two playing a game of pool. As we sat in the squeaky bar stool, a grubby man with a curled mustache greeted us with cheer.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHREbGN1DF

"Ah, Miss Ellie! How good it is to see you again! Who is your friend?" His voice had the slight shadow of an Italian accent, his eyes gleaming a joyful blue. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVnk2gA7c
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZzU0sLZMj
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIU1jIU0Du

"Ellie." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerJFEv9suj

854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4IHEjxOOK
"Ellie!" I flushed. "I can speak for myself." The bartender Joe let out a hearty laugh. "It seems like you two are fine friends. What'll it be, ladies? First rounds on the house!" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78d4nmPfD
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV5eZSwSYq
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yL5vTJPaA
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7EAOfVs7G
"Nonsense! I know how you are with money Miss Ellie. Your drinks are on the house, but I'll let you pay for the meal." his eyes twinkled when he smiled, revealing the rows of his teeth. I noticed that he had many fillings, perhaps the result of one too many sweets. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYxLmgq7Ug
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUzgGhc66
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPYuyKrwO
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq2WPJkjf3
"Water, please." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVFth8se5v
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniKuAvYeda
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1USe0OjhXU
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoayAtg2EC8
"You are really trying, aren't you?" I mused. "Have it your way then, I'll have a Jack Daniels mixed with Orange Crush soda, please." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOiNnriP1i
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUzOFmUVTd
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGgt19jgK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx46yVtpHe
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK42z5grsKt
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5VA1cXJmE
Joe returned with a clean glass filled half with the alcohol and half with the soda. He left the soda can beside the drink. "Feel free to mix it as you like. Would you girls like menus?" Ellie nodded, taking a sip of her own drink.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuwvOVJ8Jl

I glanced to the side, observing the man a couple seats away. He had a troublemakers smirk on his face, untidy brunette hair and emerald eyes. The man wore a baggy hoodie that bore the TWDU crest on the left shoulder, as well as a dirty pair of jeans that I suspected he'd probably worn throughout the week. He caught my eye, smirking, and I turned back to my drink. Weirdo. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWURepELrTg
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYfPI8HeY
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7JnHpHbql
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZ5y3Tcc2
"No. I was merely observing him." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpsBWuL7R9
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXNKF6Lwxi
"That's the same thing." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWZ2YKwhRw

"Shut up." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTWpHyrqGC
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW2LJczgwE
Just then Joe arrived with our menus. Thankful for an excuse to avoid Ellie's questioning gaze, I looked at the sandwich selection. BLT, Club Chicken, none of it appealed to me. I glanced over my menu, only to see the smirking guy staring at me. I glared at him, trying to keep my eyes on my menu. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswzCCwZNLe
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1keCBvn4x
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNoLxQAzb
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPIZw5WyhP
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WvyH5qOJ5
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIq5yezyQG
"What?" I snapped. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmaZXip9UX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2qCXfqGwu
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeRs4xZqtc
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKTTgfccnW
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWD0JSvX2f
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1EEI5bKh0
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn4RV8fUlj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSIKBRNda
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJaOmtNRDk
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6RwEMV0Sb
"That would be the ideal outcome." his eyes shone with interest. I made an 'ugh' sort of noise. "Well, you'll have to go find someone else that will buy your corny act, because it definitely isn't working on me." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoJc96wFFr
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GAWXnsSlx
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSnq8NyhKG
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0RX4gWXdI
"I can see why it would be made as a joke." I retreated to my menu, ultimately deciding on a simple burger. Damn it all, I thought. I know your intentions are good, Ellie, but you didn't have to leave me here with this prick. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjdhFnRe6u
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4AJYMg8nd
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwimuUqTLj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwQRhFriv3
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJJk2ZE9Pj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMalBPQsjv
"Well, I'll guess then. Hmm..." He narrowed his eyes, as if peering farther at me than normal. Wait, that is farther than normal. Is he..? 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrCoJdPh2D
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPu6tqedwC
"Are you looking at my boobs?" I interjected, staring at him crossly. He instantly blushed. "Wh-What?! No! I'm not that sort of guy!" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBTKrJVggR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQBwp57Hm8
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWn60m1JsR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYNQoFf8Kh
"Have mercy on me Riley, please?" He placed his hands together, begging for my approval. I felt something sink into the pit of my stomach, and it wasn't my drink. "How did you know my name?" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxkWpqMf0S
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcfgg0UTSo
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9QnZst9il
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80nV2DyOQl
"Alright. If you swear to stop being a jerk, I may consider you as an acquaintance. That means I'd rather not talk to you anymore tonight, so don't push it." I gave him a final glare, but Pip seemed happy enough, returning to his own drink and taking a swig. Ellie walked back to her stool, a smug grin on her face. "Well?" she asked. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA364tbEaN
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1wHmbmqzT
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbB6T7vklp
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bF2VjqJu
"That bad, huh? Hey, guy!" she called over to Pip. What are you doing you idiot?! "You're a TWDU student too, right? Feel free to visit us in our room anytime. We're in room 20B. I'm Ellie, her roomie." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCrjmngmS
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoG2oeXL7i
He smiled. "You're a lot more friendly than Riley, for sure. I'm Pip. I'll definitely be seeing you two in the future." he chuckled warmly, downing the rest of his drink. "Ah, I must be going. Enjoy your dinner, ladies!" Then he left, waving as he went. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQvWG9Xlg
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGalVmH1a6
"You didn't." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ1dJ24v33
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5reCwDO1C3
"I did." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd950gcY2PC

854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyICPmuciw4
Joe came back, ready to take our orders. I got my burger, and Ellie got the Chicken Club sandwich. For the rest of the night she kept asking me questions about Pip, disappointed that I wasn't into him. "He's fairly cute," she said. "I think you'd do good to get in a relationship sometime." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxR9FwtxHY
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaZ7aQYutY
"No," I kept saying. "It would only add more stress to the giant load I have already. Besides, I want to wait until I find the one." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt7UJiNdlL
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlF77ALI3w
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJO9d2xLi
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IXLb1XjEy
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kRwOATFDh
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQubylHR85X
We finished our food, which was surprisingly delicious, thanked Joe and paid, and then were back in our dorm in no time. I flopped on our couch-bed, the warmth of the sheets pulling me into sleep. Ellie curled up beside me, instantly blacking out. I wished I could fall asleep that easily. I yawned, and let myself relax until sleep finally pulled me under. 8964 copyright protection850ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2xLjRo6of 維尼
