Ride or Die

"You can't be serious, right?" Alissa looked at me with confusion. Passing her the pink lemonade I just made her. Now with her eyebrows almost meeting together, she asked, "Wait what is this?" After sipping the pink lemonade from the tall glass she is holding. "Pink lemonade? Duuh!" I answered sarcastically. "And if you're asking me, no, there is no pink lemonade. Because technically that would make it like a grapefruit or pomelo even though both still have yellow skin peels." Alissa just busted out laughing, almost spitting out her brownies that I just baked for her along with the lemonade. "You do know babe that I was just messing with you, right? She laughed a little." And I am definitely serious about you opening a café because these recipes of yours need to be discovered out there in the open." "It's too complicated, no one could watch over the shop if I'm not around. Besides, it's too good to be true." Sighs. Alissa then sat beside me and said. “How come you never told me way back in high school that you have the same feelings with Hiro? You could’ve said yes to him when he asked you out!” “I- I don’t know, there were a lot of guys courting me and I was way too busy to be in a relationship because of the student council remember?” “What does he look like again?” Alissa asked. I grabbed my phone and showed the picture to Alissa as she leaned closer to me to take a better look. “Just imagine him without the tattoos and all, don’t you know remember? He’s Kevin’s best friend, you’re crush.” “Yeah you’re right! They were the polar opposite duo, Kevin was the smart and innocent one while Hiro here was always the bad boy one. Well, he looks more of a bad guy now c.” “Right? And hotter too.” I replied while smiling. “Oh boohoo! You’ve always have a thing with guys that has tattoos hahaha.” - Alissa “It’s because it makes em 10 times hotter, but yeah. Do you think I’ll go tonight?” I asked while biting my lower lip, I didn’t know why I just did that. “Why not? I mean c’mon! You guys didn’t hit off way back in high school. Maybe this time, it’ll work right?” “Yeah you’re right! I might as well grab the chance right now cuz we don’t know what might happen right?” I replied s,iling at Alissa. “Uhuh… So let’s find you a cute outfit for tonight!!” She grabbed me while squealing like a teenager. * * * I didn’t really expected that Alissa could really pull off such cute outfit for a rap battle event. Yeah she is stylish alright but i********: aesthetic kind of style, I’m more of a goth and streetwear. It really depends on my mood though. I’m currently wearing a denim tube top covered by a black leather jacket, and to my bottoms; is a hipped army green coloured cargo pants paired with a classic black and white Vans shoes. Sheesh I look hot!! As I entered in the venue, I can really sense that people inside were all ayes on me. Not to brag about but who wouldn’t? I roamed my eyes to search for Hiro but I couldn’t see him, every time I would try to eye contact with a guy to make sure if it was Hiro they would give a flirtatious look at me and I would just simply smile back. I went to a different spot where I was standing just when my stomach started to gurgle. “You’ve got to be kidding me! That’s what you get for not eating dinner because you’re too anxious about tonight!” I noticed that the two girls standing on the side were laughing looking at me. For Pete’s sake Trixie you’re talking to yourself! Who wouldn’t laugh at you if they would see you looking like a crazy person? So I did what I had to do like a normal person that would go hungry, find the nearest place where you can find a food. I bought myself a large sour cream French fries and a regular diet coke, it’s always been the diet coke cuz the original one is too acidic and strong for me to drink. I shoved five French fries on my mouth just when I turned around I bumped in to someone and spilled a little of the diet coke I am holding. “Oh s**t I’m so sorry.” I grabbed my hanky and wiped it over to his shirt without even looking at him. “No no, it’s fine. It’s just a little splash,” He replied. Wait! That voice, it seems that I’ve heard it from somewhere. I slowly looked up and see who it was “I knew it was you Rain!” He said. As the light beams to his face and I was able to see his face clearly. “Draven? Is that you? Oh my gosh it is you! How are – wait I’m so sorry about my drink though.” I continue on wiping his shirt where my drink went to. “Naah its fine, no biggie.” He blocked my hand from wiping his shirt. “Besides it’s only a little splash though and I do have an extra on my bag. And by the way! Did you came here alone or someon –.” He was supposed to finish what he was saying but someone spoke behind me. “Yeah someone invited her, and that someone is me.” I bought myself a large sour cream French fries and a regular diet coke, it’s always been the diet coke cuz the original one is too acidic and strong for me to drink.
