Rue's an amazing driver. She told me that her car is a Silver Porsche 911 Turbo. She promised me a ride and that she'll let me drive it as soon as we get back to school after Thanksgiving. She even joked that she could either join street racing or drive a cab during her free time and I smiled at the thought of her doing it. She's one badass chick and any boy would be lucky enough to have a girl like her in his life.

It was my last turn to drive Bri, and while on our way, Rue fell asleep. The surroundings are starting to become more and more familiar – the South Coast type kind of familiar. And that's when I realized that we're almost at the University. I guess we arrived a little earlier than expected, so we stopped by Starbucks.  I turned off the engine and parked Bri.


"Good morning sunshine! We're here!" I beamed as I shook her lightly on her shoulders.

"Huh?" Rue opened her eyes slowly, blinking at the sun shining on her face.

"We're at the South Coast area and I think we arrived a little earlier than expected. So we're having coffee. C'mon, let's go!" I said as I walked out and went to her side of the car. I opened the passenger door for her.

 "Uhhh, 5 more minutes please. I'm still tired." Rue yawned and covered her face with a pillow.

"We're outside Starbucks, c'mon, my treat!" I offered and Rue's eyes flung open.

"I love yoouuu!"

"I know you do. Now c'mon and get your lazy ass up or you'll be paying for the both of us." I teased. Rue immediately scrambled to her feet and I locked the car as soon as she got out.

"Alert as a girl scout." I teased her again and Rue smacked my arm lightly.


I went immediately to the counter and ordered us some coffee and Rue offered to pay for the cakes because she wants a fair share of everything. We went upstairs and sat by the window, and I could see Bri from up here. Rue takes a long sip of her coffee.


"Thanks for the treat!" Rue said.

"You're welcome and thank you for the cake." I smiled back.

"Sure! Boy, am I still sleepy. This coffee isn't even helping." Rue yawned.

"I guess you'll have to wait for the caffeine to really kick in before you go all hyper."

"I guess." Rue frowned and then her eyes immediately widened.

"What's wrong?"

"Hottie alert!" Rue whispered.

"Where?" I could tell that she's really awake now and it's not because of the caffeine.

"Right there, behind you! Turn around! But don't be too obvious. How's my hair?" Rue whispered.
