"Aah! Okay, okay, what about there?" I pointed to a neon flashing sign.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMBjdStQ8X

"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHpB23HIAI
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibwR34RIg
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8qjAH8X0B

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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6EqPxfrhv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPohB8ypkfK
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTa1ALXayN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lcbZDpCJ
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgUnbsY0Ao
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKUTgdIacW
"Ellie." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJLSlks5r
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUN9bFRoU
"She also enjoys typing nonsense on her computer, and-" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vvU2xFjzI
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT27FNlJ36
"Ellie." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu8sfhv1Vy
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzVg3JxKo3
"Most of all she loves to tou-" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjFCXREKtz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LNPw2m90K
"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!" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV8Vf9983G
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEICNjJAZl
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45qS0UWWIk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MluyTJYTC
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFlhbZH46k
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeQC8wCRqS
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugR6O2lOGg
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeYEw7G5e0
"Water, please." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V28cRNj7t
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMOIytwY9N
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQLU7Kg8u
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj72Ye1VAMP
"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." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwtl6OUFrd
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72MwRsF06m
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhCHgYI4M
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrwBjAlZsz
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE5pPLtSam
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkK5yzHAF
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumOnnV3Smq
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pFxuWt24s
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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBTfHuUtb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg03Mh1oMVu
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AxpmbKtXd
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSApOx9voN
"No. I was merely observing him." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx6KYIxQDQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0KcOUoHEm
"That's the same thing." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfNJHtiI8D

"Shut up." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGO9hWFqf2
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmrx9ZCtjC
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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtMMPvSg1O
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloTRdJrfs1
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTyVt8iEs3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGIVRHEOdT
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCb4PWGA6E
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nLTKiWtrP
"What?" I snapped. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeEziM7JxV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEv8u9HAvA
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIepCpxzXPJ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE94AjeFxnK
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnNtz9ZsI4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw0aDrgEFR
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMgqieov1k
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDSQBRfCVp
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGO0ltwL3F
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27CEANJiu
"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." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFMjHO5um
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZzI2GPEIb
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrmuhmqwF
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcUbaJ7m9
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07uoeDbCq
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpR4I28eP6
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BhtxtFwe
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gc2dm6dJK
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd9EhhsJf6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGyfKhris
"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..? 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs94ZLbIpS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMYuStQAlt
"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!" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhjhX8TSn
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPK4MYtWJ8
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ92gGPpgl
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNdJWuuaNS
"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?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fFD3D1WC1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh3eQe0xHe
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5jEa7h5bB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm37pln0MlL
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWiIyT21CT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe53sWcgmwt
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56kDj6wiW
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfkg0FcRfY
"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." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9G3SFhQQe
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVTXoxuIKB
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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfyhX9pGu9
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuNCm3J3HL
"You didn't." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvizzrkCDVK
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YyuukvJtg
"I did." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GbWpMZnMD
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM5T9Xqiwc
"I hate you." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAVbbNE1t

"Liar." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwEXBTzzB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk2qA513k0
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." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLSXg80nUa
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd2GwPETm4
"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." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAEo0bBNAO
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX3ibLsh4f
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kMN6nDFK3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd377rOm0Gt
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20RrZFE91t
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PBNi4agmT
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.
