"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsFSH8xIVY
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrclqqFhD8
"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.884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMer8VFjVnK

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.884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5v4V5ABjE

"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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkze00Rawr
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutxJRUB5wY
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xKJC5z4xw
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrepIQvQPc
"Ellie." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLhuHgabhj

884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lvphdgNGb
"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!" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6dGSpLta
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2LQrIivqL
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3JK6rai1
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcE4gfo5kA
"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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaspN2xh11q
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo0f6hl0y4
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5RsDUU8d
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3PYJ2aAvb
"Water, please." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgMIMQMSl
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUXKqlCca4
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQQ6PvQIRR
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMj3Dys5H
"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." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PoMRbH35k
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23tsM6DTIX
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlk8YgNMK
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3uzOcltR6
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcFIynaDKH
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCTuaqG82
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.884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ097QjBMpMR

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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL8oj3swYI
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWv0PqTK2h
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkxO92JH83
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCvEc89ysR
"No. I was merely observing him." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmg8ZlJJSU
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g5WS4y0dx
"That's the same thing." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktaZXt6UWI

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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNVzCdFLef
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMfJPTmvuC
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscIpdarnLs
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxYaGa9gw
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnax128QR6n
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIFrg5QTZG
"What?" I snapped. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HybStsD7
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3MSuoqzdr
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6czAnrZpDk
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nFoT6QmoA
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY2iKvHzym
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnlEd9Ojxe
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJW5KAB30B
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxiw7x9Qqe
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLLCFoOX5
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fbRP5fAz
"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." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsbnTYXc6i
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJWwlEqOvg
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDA4ePM7q5
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsXiBK9OxH
"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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqCZ6M3pP
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Rkt7fby9
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr8ULbMrYQ
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch0E2DrFST
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAYKyLCQ5P
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQvA2h81b
"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..? 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0yIGvtRuC
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qDN87dClu
"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!" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBU3x9WWz6
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeAmGnd6ff
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrbzNen1U
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvLVtdzMPp
"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?" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuub28EyC
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvmbqH8FG
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRyNAGefQn
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpTETMZT8
"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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9amJciIc
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFbzfhHYNH
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h47g6OG4i
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXTuZmPlPR
"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." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ9apqryQG
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYAbpJOhYB
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. 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cZJBlzVNI
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jGqvlC7y1
"You didn't." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfM7KStizX

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." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhne8oZn9
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9VMlM2t2I
"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." 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoUrsV8dQ8
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pvkMXshfa
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ev81wMsu
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMcIAVGTU
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP0ccNlP5Q
884Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhnjO9XCxt
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 protection880ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69tiFuNofI 維尼
