"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSb7K7Sda
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jaxlpZcpd
"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.899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG30X3ZpBb

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.899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSOUmFeblT

"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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIDpvPIpUf
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3yMMS5LU
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixeVoi0Gsz

"Ellie." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEncKnysjcd

899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5BEfCaiT
"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!" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PRLDCePXT
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXKm7M6Bch
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqVfDfAp8c
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ac7Ris0fB
"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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZcCaMsQn4
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGBMgFLN0R
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfoyzXCls7
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy6uw1GXlU
"Water, please." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDN1djpct2
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnHbew104Q
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0Z6u7eeQ
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwFWB6M3qN
"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." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQBsWiAoe0
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKHqFrM7K0
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18h6FCBKv

I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsZWhWCKYe
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMAxN87vz
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.899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GbL5fx19a

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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJjFAaRWF
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6MZ8b5HMJ
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwp0O10IzG
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3orYTYBWJo
"No. I was merely observing him." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzjYTn3Lml

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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cP09mYWzW
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJw6qAbKTQ
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeRMczvx8V
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJed0QSutZE
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWLXVLsORt
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJ9MwOk47
"What?" I snapped. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHhnuMBwEq
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTcjbWfSM0
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNMm7gcXna
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKk4pgQkIO
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GGuYiRZaU
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1shqNNzyk
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqlF0cgdj
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHcEhzE6nS
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1s1MpzUOh
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY7GWexIeK
"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." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsKfKYSyC2
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7XXhf8dEs
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ZY1KHCn8
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkmf8s7x0I
"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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprAIyn4AHN
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeP6IyhY1j
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvxxSy1ZW
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25dW9cQwdO
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL3IDbSKD9
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusOWCtzIgx
"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..? 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXz7g3pyZH
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhfNbRYw45
"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!" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1AeG6PQ7X
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVV3X9IjLr
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7iTMsFTxL
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFOgHb4un7
"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?" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXf4ELCjhZ
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfGqIVcXDu
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsim8BVPLZ
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02NKgR9dk6
"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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREZzuMJaTo
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xena4VQso
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofowkzAnHI
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoNIzQOPB3
"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." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaAODUgl22
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVc3PSlfWq
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. 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFF5bO1OAr

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." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt18l2MgvU
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpieUuSD5F
"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." 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidzb5RAoi2
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4xTcs5e1S
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYmDubJbWB
899Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZYlPmRMZP

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 protection895ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXB1Bh2rtI 維尼
