"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGubSYd37v
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgJCd9hcF9
"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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9prCFMIz05

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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWkUOQVvD

"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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFumB1rwRV
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsuQZkXFK5
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi2AyoyUnO
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK3EXib98X
"Ellie." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9cns8FGU

"She also enjoys typing nonsense on her computer, and-" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbpjAIxdlk

"Ellie." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXTC8dFRi

"Most of all she loves to tou-" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWewdP1OpdL
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4LTJ8QPmi
"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!" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4aLG5aGJC
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYcO4NKwcW
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXIA9uc8o
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHpdKzFNYG
"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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYeHljMG4J
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlupFYrnjl
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2opQZRw5
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ImuwzGkLE
"Water, please." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA79FQQPmX
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDAIFBGss
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTFqDKFp9
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MoBbFJ4C
"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." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQHFM92rF
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVrefxYXZY
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzyqRj8Iks
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0hH3ye2BV
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjhT5rtzxe
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqXvw8Bwie
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.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvviDXDGW53

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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31x5Doda8H
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGI6vokTwE
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3kygEVBGG
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1bvhYMJ6I
"No. I was merely observing him." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUp2HN72qd
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUJaJsUA0R
"That's the same thing." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCRchRQeS

"Shut up." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41FaEPw0qF
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kcsZZ3MaX
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiaCDvejvI
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcRz7ckBsU
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tCggtcjyG
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYFB0LhOc2
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvZyexWtMh
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpyFyTlVEZ
"What?" I snapped. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuBDbPdBn7
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1FH8Sjbc
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡginUmXNaVW
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2w0oR7meM
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWVoMaPcGS
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeXzKPJDF4
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANK1Vby9mU
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtg6dMS5W
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcYJ2PqDPn
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlQ06xczpi
"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." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21e72vtWAT
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZS3N9HUo
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObLPoZTpRb
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQxoK8uZmd
"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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGllKiQN8aY
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1MqzeJIlS
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fSdkNPVMU
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWGZWfBjAG
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5CMn38Yq
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj590hW3JB7
"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..? 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ524X8sMrLe
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMX5fk3dI
"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!" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXtqKL38nF
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7XZgwIvG
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpH7WfPFZ
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoOicZDeLN
"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?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnzhHEESbw
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgnjlxm5f7
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbphDASIla
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphM2OSOoeF
"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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKzTjunKGs
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCuKzbrroI
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjb8HDyG8K
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PChwskplA
"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." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IetI02mmk
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH07DVR2mf
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. 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h4wpDCoii
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPdLMd9AAt
"You didn't." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGjV6GfmOg

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." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQBBoGUHcu
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKOEzYoaWd
"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." 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BtfAicjg7
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXYr2gqdLv
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7EAjNrVOE
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3iDkHmaG0
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6lynzPpeD
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SItAzERG
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 protection902ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKZOfaHKc 維尼
