"Riley for the love of everything holy and pure just choose somewhere to eat!"647Please respect copyright.PENANAvSPhOnlKYZ
647Please respect copyright.PENANAixE40zhQbi
"Aah! Okay, okay, what about there?" I pointed to a neon flashing sign.647Please respect copyright.PENANAWFEUaBWGPJ
647Please respect copyright.PENANAFwEqfvQ9z3
"McDonalds? No. I'm talking sit down restaurant where we wait for beautiful well-cooked not plastic food!"647Please respect copyright.PENANAuKdh7uGE5z
647Please respect copyright.PENANAiX3mWWRpfA
"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"647Please respect copyright.PENANAmEJ8PbWQn3
647Please respect copyright.PENANAUvowIN1jEX
"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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAJZibmYnvZV
647Please respect copyright.PENANAJfPC9pCOra
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAThOyLZt3s6
647Please respect copyright.PENANAgks5qaI1JD
"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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAEkc4JwX1Mv
647Please respect copyright.PENANAA4WbM3g7sj
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAvFtIRS56gD
647Please respect copyright.PENANA1hVN1S9XyH
"Ellie." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA3HzKLRO6xU
647Please respect copyright.PENANAi3YUYwxb3k
"She also enjoys typing nonsense on her computer, and-" 647Please respect copyright.PENANANRAx7TGnJp
647Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ER34ldW8
"Ellie." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA5R2ZasvYyP
647Please respect copyright.PENANAdNSxVSP4lB
"Most of all she loves to tou-" 647Please respect copyright.PENANAnfwhRk6Tyz
647Please respect copyright.PENANAqmhLPVcPSR
"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!" 647Please respect copyright.PENANAfVOoZkiNb9
647Please respect copyright.PENANAkiACeFnQEV
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAVsr5QUIsB3
647Please respect copyright.PENANAMTZgqcJNDV
"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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANA6EHtg0tp3N
647Please respect copyright.PENANARjmgXahXvR
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 647Please respect copyright.PENANAkFIXuyIMql
647Please respect copyright.PENANAknnQhv8fnG
"Water, please." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAiJzXULcPSf
647Please respect copyright.PENANAXxrqUgxXZE
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAoaIMYI5yjw
647Please respect copyright.PENANAMDDZxQIICB
"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." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA7dCM5nATTJ
647Please respect copyright.PENANA4qaLWpPyKk
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAYordvpE2el
647Please respect copyright.PENANAHerdruiP2F
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAMWbfe42OJq
647Please respect copyright.PENANAt17k7OacZ9
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAhklVsJvB5R
647Please respect copyright.PENANAabF37EhfaS
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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANADyFgdu95qZ
647Please respect copyright.PENANAsfKy73vpFT
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 647Please respect copyright.PENANARqYEDJlVpz
647Please respect copyright.PENANA2M4GZ40q4x
"No. I was merely observing him." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8u5GIWwjc
647Please respect copyright.PENANAWoVb5Pi8hI
"That's the same thing." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAnCOWAMwBeh
647Please respect copyright.PENANAdNiSjxIg1M
"Shut up." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA6YpfUFaxWb
647Please respect copyright.PENANAD4qcoswAWS
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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAJmgp7EEckW
647Please respect copyright.PENANAxZwKOElkQw
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAtz4kdTQXag
647Please respect copyright.PENANAya53OmO4jg
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.647Please respect copyright.PENANAlnbHVRzKzu
647Please respect copyright.PENANAUrTmOjlTJU
"What?" I snapped. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAGj5i20YuXo
647Please respect copyright.PENANAG1EuTW6Udq
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 647Please respect copyright.PENANALEmeeeeThX
647Please respect copyright.PENANAiESZe7o9C7
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAHqf6Lql5NK
647Please respect copyright.PENANAttDUeJLzVE
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAqb2vP33rIX
647Please respect copyright.PENANAp1XBGFQkdU
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 647Please respect copyright.PENANASpxZkj2JIK
647Please respect copyright.PENANAu4IH9ISs9J
"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." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAosIsiq8Yxi
647Please respect copyright.PENANAr38T5POYi7
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA0n81p5b9I2
647Please respect copyright.PENANAJclcUHBLAP
"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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAcGeyTPBWSs
647Please respect copyright.PENANAR2yuOzet0f
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAwCGpuCGo3z
647Please respect copyright.PENANAI5ek2ZMuKp
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 647Please respect copyright.PENANA5wIWdOGwl2
647Please respect copyright.PENANA3AaMVsobMU
"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..? 647Please respect copyright.PENANAueDWK1s2vO
647Please respect copyright.PENANAAJhcjynqnG
"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!" 647Please respect copyright.PENANAlDMNIbtEsm
647Please respect copyright.PENANAQmt2SKSm9N
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 647Please respect copyright.PENANA585ahP5pLd
647Please respect copyright.PENANAWruhwfejqO
"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?" 647Please respect copyright.PENANALdKzIfgqKN
647Please respect copyright.PENANAk5rPP4eSIK
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA4czr0MnoNu
647Please respect copyright.PENANAsp5eyecpms
"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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAmNiOCt3IuW
647Please respect copyright.PENANAr3SaXndo58
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAhZpwAIR5tF
647Please respect copyright.PENANA87Rc6tY9pH
"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." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAzyQNSOnn8s
647Please respect copyright.PENANAPKpzOSl2b1
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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANAntb5l4YTVx
647Please respect copyright.PENANA7HeTdh2OiN
"You didn't." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAT7X6wsANNb
647Please respect copyright.PENANAq00ky0wYHt
"I did." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAVPbA000iBp
647Please respect copyright.PENANAvo4yXaNGRw
"I hate you." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAEfhvUKfrYE
647Please respect copyright.PENANArtkY3ob4m6
"Liar." 647Please respect copyright.PENANA7z8Y3HX1sc
647Please respect copyright.PENANAYRNkRZcSjD
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." 647Please respect copyright.PENANAkzBEn44L3A
647Please respect copyright.PENANAgYOLrFq1nE
"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." 647Please respect copyright.PENANArtwMlrgFEC
647Please respect copyright.PENANAc9xr6xTBQS
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 647Please respect copyright.PENANATM4roedAne
647Please respect copyright.PENANALxwCGbVB1y
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 647Please respect copyright.PENANANsPY0bvrFE
647Please respect copyright.PENANAtHDlJfhIMT
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.
