"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCeDeNTNty
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozq4ejPEUT
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIEQRC6uLI

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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuvbQLW8OG

"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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F885xAaH6
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2kp3Qsl6A
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBqKqbg3aJ
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4mlCuqbG
"Ellie." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgmdKGtlw

812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzwhKn1JTk
"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!" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBWwW6tI4
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHnNGeDAg7
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsmfJMrYgf
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBLUqz4Nhu
"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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHmlhTxnhK

"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnFAzSjBXf
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuula1XIvSR
"Water, please." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgev8g9SYVn
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRodppNdhOE
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX97HAFGHOr
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU2Ih7UOC7
"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." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5h5YMB7X8
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZqigWbwHF
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhPqWMxv9G
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIuMcjPGUF
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WY0mWz08q
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnGhx1jM3n
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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUCPhfSKUc

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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGckgOnJ7N
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKQ2fsd2UO
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM42s1E6Srd
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaCFXnBP7j
"No. I was merely observing him." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8bkwM2F2C
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oyGjEtwCU
"That's the same thing." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPp0OvMCSQ

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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRCuHzO991
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMGeTswrKV
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1FECkAwRz
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaHthYEkO
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSop5XHgsX
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui6QX1XPqB
"What?" I snapped. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUxdRNoytt
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyH8V1kUv
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnY1bRUmyB
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcs6T2kL5q
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa3bzXqIRD
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXkh6SkSNn
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rhXoimx7
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtY77iQow
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9IkRbRe5
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50CzSQKcOh
"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." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTQMI9EpjL
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yFN4OCl1
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTOCVuY6Vf
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEFxrwimf5
"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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLrQu5AOo
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYPrnW1joE
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhLQBDpDLJ
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJtyGIhfWN
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2bR0De3sH
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJZt1rRac
"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..? 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxRjz0MzU
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lLHOGuunD
"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!" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFbPkefwm
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHDBNiwu96
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MLdMoiC3w
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvDwhxtzsA
"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?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNkr9psQIH
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi2Avb5ZGh
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW70WRu6rG3
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOjrKdjcNZ
"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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3BR8SitOb
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSasmGqjrxR
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGXWBXId1
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOIgvIgmN
"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." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf19bvUDOo
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYrrruJO5k
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. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv07wqhEWrR
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNeXRPlcJA
"You didn't." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjlCZOE7vc

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." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1331kyjiD
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0TdIYTdLF
"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." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm5X2P0iOM
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c8Eh6RyTO
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyZEKGXu5S
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktfLfz4xS9
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqeFZ4fVT
812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35PR1vxch1
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 protection808ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBxU2ZG7Kw 維尼
