"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygWQKLi0g
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MZFBouZZ8
"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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ114NGDQ9uj

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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OMDSjJgM3

"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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGsxlNetgu
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9Xd3k4OK
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu62bmWYSu1
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBXpXHktdL
"Ellie." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhQ2g3Fu4C

1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNl9BaMlUQ
"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!" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr7KXXxJdb
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH9OHLUCEK
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4KqiyWy1N
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmGnKFcOvN
"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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQCxiBigrl
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvX5tTFg3G
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImdpzOx7HW
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItq9kUqLc
"Water, please." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMFzOAqbM
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPc6yujd3a
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50KAHifKDQ
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dk7ulJ1rc
"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." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRDhXgohn
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOyDnu8Me7
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ94SO8PHm
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkmhHezbYH
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAUvoGaHF4
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LuX00uEbM
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUQpLa8yh

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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMnBG59VWy
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLIPjzZ9A
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZvjLM1ip
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59McMgNo0J
"No. I was merely observing him." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSrSK0WLN0

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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmALyV9TyOP
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkTHb9Qo27
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqgW3LTfU5
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikzXt1SCQE
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GRyScevI1
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbnobiAKLd
"What?" I snapped. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCvg4Xz337
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXLhKFuBUD
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvKceZeR4
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pc1cH3LAi
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOrIJwdnKm
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtKSRoReES
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs961zr5dV
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWsUut3FMu
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT3jGLlBVw
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtHW8nwyt
"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." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjbuYRGs0N
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lyr7nzB4M
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNtditTwGy
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KqmNZN9Q
"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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWobKy36VP
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGm2juuM5s
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROn5uu121g
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNcWg60MRu
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71mV8AgtZ6
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c8F4u7cv7
"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..? 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sj3ZhOePt
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryEK8RnNy
"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!" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWghz0EV81
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxuhUfzZP
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL4m5xVcEx
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5CLAG9Uy6
"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?" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbDTSsAHm1
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeVVrPMqpx
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iE6fxvpYm
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoyCnau8lr
"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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVq66Q5EPK
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa30DnJgvA
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzqRAfXjd
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5Po2RWiX
"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." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy7kXfF2FL
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb1fvJU59Q
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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnBO75KtZD
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzJUQv39NG
"You didn't." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oVlvHuhb1

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." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsvkgGl8S
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5SjPfJhi7
"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." 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3D7vmYhBr
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibJrHGXe0
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKhEdYg48l
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoJUPPIkL6
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0thLHBf5N
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G5FBDWp6h
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. 1234 copyright protection1081ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBUXoMeWnH 尼
