"Ellie," I sighed. "Fine. What about the one next to it?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUHlUATvC
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUWZHNzqoA
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYR886vLgj

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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OtjLB1Zke

"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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEz4o62klp
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37iPGATKAM
"Joe, this is Riley. She's my roomie at TWDU, and enjoys being antisocial." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2TopjcZpB
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9jNjbpyHy
"Ellie." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fBQJqOA7

"She also enjoys typing nonsense on her computer, and-" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FgMmLU9nI
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvdBEBGWi9
"Ellie." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmrDMxYys

"Most of all she loves to tou-" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeuwW6xCNQ
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVdcp75hcG
"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!" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMNaHuNPUq
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyvsmgQeH0
"What? Are you sure? We can pay you know." Ellie's eyes raised in surprise. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgCU4idhiA
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82eNAKkn9y
"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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4z9W5EQEw
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvvEF2l5h
"Oh alright. You can't keep treating me like this, okay?" she sighed. "I'll just have a Coke, I'm driving tonight. Riley?" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRyX377Ct5
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlQjReqgmq
"Water, please." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eFOuX0X7
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT7WCrnVos
"Riley," Ellie gave me a look. "Water is free here as it is. Please at least have one drink." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPUbk0hU8m
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkTyCI8P2S
"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." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSuIe3KMTX
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPm9JNCVX
Ellie raised an eyebrow. "Jack Daniels, huh? I don't know you were into that stuff." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bx5xr9rn2
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apDKGJkWL
I chuckled. "I had it once in high school, I guess the taste stuck with me all the way through." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWso8tHWDt
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFfjaI3h08
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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1idjG0i5M

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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8bLvxgL9
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJSdP4TxT
"We're you looking at him?" Ellie startled me. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eAJF7AcnD
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXSUewwory
"No. I was merely observing him." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhyww1noho
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiweOcH9qg

"Shut up." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmN84ge5ce
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8erzHyRMH
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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi7vuNfbsi
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTTtETpAgh
"I gotta pee." Ellie announced, smiling at me and retreating to the ladies room. Gee, thanks best friend. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vKMmoyDTc
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLINPEr8VmB
I kept my eyes firmly on one item: a double cheeseburger. But he kept staring. I sighed.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyySLee2PPi
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GH7oW2yIX
"What?" I snapped. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHik2hCbF4r
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpZjoC4tFW
"Me?" he said, checking over his shoulder jokingly. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtb7q2kSu
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCoDEXAjRf
"Yes, you. Why do you keep staring at me?" I scowled. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLXRwni5C1
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkUph0Ozbb
"Aww, come on. Don't look so grumpy. You were a lot better when you smiled." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTufZFIDJ
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxKOjoDK1c
"I suppose you want me to take that as a compliment." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjViamwA5p
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFeYMR8vhb
"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." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QcvzO3fkW
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TNupsCobO
"I'm Pip," the guy said. "Some of my friends call me Pip Pip Cheerio as a joke." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf0reUSgCI
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LJTwDY4d
"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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e1OuuYunJ
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kpIS6TjYr
"Say, what's your name? I'm honestly just curious. You are rather pretty." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxynbWvWS
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfDyrTONci
"I'd rather not say." I buried my face further into the menu. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxEyTnHmG
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZpTYt4pGa
"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..? 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCsoBalji
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHh4S7mvYW
"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!" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA5vvTpO90
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RDHjG1L6w
"I call bull. Why were you staring so intently then?!" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9v2N4KA9j
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5qMrqYTQS
"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?" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa62US38CXW
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPLQHQYgTe
"Lucky guess?" I gave him a contempt look. "I heard your friend say it." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxyMlCstIH
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC1GO8w2Nf
"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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi9H7jTY6S
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBv8MgtAvC
"You didn't have to leave. In fact, it may have been better if you stayed. I don't like him." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcqUBRsXc3
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZqOBaF4z
"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." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR90GfgEzoG
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjabQEVgX7
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. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8a4eQu2d9
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCQ2CBwZ1n
"You didn't." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ROFmbHYm
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc770m0IL9
"I did." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ23H5N5qg

909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2UakYviYa
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." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg5mEI5qyc
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCHjMy8to
"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." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCApv5XWu
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFsZn0BQDZ
"How do you know he didn't just leave?" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaRd20zFWi
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6pNv0tCCD
"The number of times you've said that in the past is astounding, you know?" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBCjJm3Bu
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw6LSWyWYP
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 protection905ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGw3guHB9 維尼
