"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4VpT3VPi
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUg2AbSsbM
"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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSGAzdQiu

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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx9GDcsWIZ

"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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jun0FankG
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m4EDpuxWX
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmPT8msf0C
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG9TrD4LhX
"Ellie." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRSCmKQRlu

"Ellie." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYj7lq7NaV

"Most of all she loves to tou-" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpampUYTtq
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS3Y1scMXW
"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!" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04mgIqMMl
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8DOImIXG
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjqARCyLE
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogak9VVzri
"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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULgPQHnwjl
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcM3yvkjno
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfwRYkFGsp
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoupbVBZOo
"Water, please." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ipEKOVO9r
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lh0HJCQKV
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUllQlXbak
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaq2wDLZJm
"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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW47YSZEAu
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyqmQUIaYM
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlrJqRf7VW
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9RfwTt6a
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbisETn0AOE
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkE1yIyYJk
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP84ufjVVw

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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxY2RZPPf
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIokDOcQ2Y
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6l4EzAyC
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05kexehmpa
"No. I was merely observing him." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPqrpBhbXB
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCErIjH15T
"That's the same thing." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixBTQwbmN

"Shut up." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnjOiRinlT
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7PX9LiUeq
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjlMCMISl
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzARCVNxlRD
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6qqgOjfyO
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvzRO40TKJ
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8M6atMcIV
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LPFTMTPTj
"What?" I snapped. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxBvZNs98Q
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFLklCGBL1
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy128y2WvRM
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnzqBNxZEJ
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA36eGu9Qwh
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hvqksUM0E
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7bet2o9M
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxF14l0uAM
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHYGzLxlW
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZzLZzvo0k
"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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueq7wboLup
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb04gyOFgU
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMyn8h2UAO
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLdpgNf9iT
"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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn03fU7Xfm
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuhW7xzhEz
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmjMcHbeL
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunTRZv29KI
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdux7UNfeP
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6v7NyabJO
"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..? 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOJqMlQh3
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvK4P1y1aj
"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!" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7BcIziNW7
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwUwk0nab
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKjzl6Vjln
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yGlcq5KNE
"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?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70M86Z5ggu
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUJkXLahT
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhU2Qdl6Uq
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i6G5NBpYH
"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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaimJaOntit
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghssBKe4Lj
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8GwE0HVkD
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmXWXqHlQ3
"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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYDJLHa7vP
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ79Ms0lKT
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAU4JF7ZFr
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEvKhGPvYt
"You didn't." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY25VawrVp

"I did." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h8BcsVwhJ

615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr72NwwOrt
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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOMCkV2ZVO
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYCITRLU8Q
"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." 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kwEtvwjEm
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPgnIMKYa4
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ4SPkoHGm
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKRsg9ALMm
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQ5fRPGpQ
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZffEY9dwE
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 protection611ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRiuGYxMSV 維尼
