She shouldn't had grabbed the beer. She shouldn't had accepted the ride.

But she was feeling down. She and Lexi had had an argument about her drinking, which she thought was just stupid. She got out of the car in the middle of the road and walked there.

She went in and bought her package of glazed donuts, awkwardly paid and got out, sitting on the curb. A pickup truck's lights mowed her down for a few seconds. She couldn't identify who got out of the van.

Minutes later she heard only the door of the store opening for her and a voice calling out to her.

"Sup, Cassie." You greeted her, with a casual smile, which didn't go unnoticed by the blonde when she turned and looked at you, and a friendly, very friendly tone. You pulled a bottle of beer from the six pack you had just bought.

Cassie softly grabbed the beer out of your hands. "You'll choke on those donuts" You mentioned with a slight tone of amusement, then looked around, empty and dark. An exchange of words ensued and she told you she was going to the party, you offered a ride and she accepted.

You sounded real, sincere, you seemed to care about her. She was getting her hopes up so early? Obviously

When you stepped on the gas, she formed a smile as she looked at you, half her body out the window. She stared at you deeply. Weren't you dating one of her friends? Well, she couldn't remember now
