"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDpM1NSGsw
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua8lrLrk2M
"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.832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uk7LZ2EUz

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.832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMlvPlBpt

"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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F4NJqb0hv
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiKeIQllkv
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldjWBFEpWm
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm9pts8bG2
"Ellie." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5p00spmwt

"Ellie." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlzljS1Qkm

"Most of all she loves to tou-" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSJxKN1T7O
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMqnRbvN6
"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!" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD1g0dyj1A
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LsEwq9Zmh
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JuoTMBO24
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMoRAHHaW9
"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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtOhvQSMp
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeq0lIkzfS
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S5xuYz2lS
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebKUrRlfey
"Water, please." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPP2AnKYAX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiwhh4TYdQ
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJETeSAMAA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eyLs0cbmC
"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." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapFY517eDa
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6hGLAsrQ
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGb36q8IgG
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej70xxTmPG
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQErRGcvAh
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINtKtaGj8q
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.832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NKNfJyKlZ

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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYRsP6Md9h
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEgMCzoZJn
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGXQs6N95
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZq5js87nP
"No. I was merely observing him." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCNI912aTb
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrTx1utiv
"That's the same thing." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptWhGudJZE

"Shut up." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvMLmPRUQk
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw24dregNkg
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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzHGELuNrK
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqAIvFngzo
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomGM30iZka
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOCMZRjPgL
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzH2x678mB
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiL5qeU8Cf
"What?" I snapped. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ3K4MW87I
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8daE2H1QB
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3PhYEib8d
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL1hnZzuLK
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoapaXjVJra
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Zts6lR2E
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBjsXJYySP
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKV2w4k5rl
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3MNcQQiO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaaHzFDIII
"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." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTLEJAMjW
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg52TywIqOW
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPhpD41Orz
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOJqe8PEz
"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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudSc1G7oVT
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDdj3CTSjx
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGTYex74w
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0mYSdrd2
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXsXc0T18Y
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwgJ8U3OSP
"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..? 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITt1FqzSy
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kmYqFRdQp
"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!" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ZX3SoajP
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErZUOHfwiZ
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsngJziNRXJ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwyAq676f7
"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?" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdH8TdGLb9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sF0eEweRU
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdq4Pf2q78
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0V2CZwrQJ
"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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVggdJLIa3
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lAQnHdIO2
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN0EAluSBX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jfdtEzSHs
"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." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZX3mBCF7J
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwTOEcGm4
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. 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGI1z6nLTz
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHot3ztecR
"You didn't." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22NP62TDUY

"I did." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvIpBq8dz

832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mxgH5BhCt
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." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmYenjiuFr
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwaoss4lQ
"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." 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVFUW4wP2e
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn6mtukG1q
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2kM1HZ2c1
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ehouYMuWK
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKNK55XPKK
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSZ23sCdwe
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 protection828ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwLgb3s4p 維尼
