"so what kind of music do you like?" I ask.
"I like Paramore, Deftones, Ozzy Osbourne, ooo and queen!" Charlie says as we both climb in the car. As we sit down I smile at the thought that we both like older music, today music just didn't cut it.
"wanna play a song?" she asks
"lets hear something from your playlist" I state, wanting to hear what she listens to.
"ok cool, have you heard 'crush' by Paramore?" she asks, I shake my head wondering what its like.
"okay cool I bet you're gonna like it" and with that she connected her phone to her car using blue tooth and it started playing. She put the car out of park and we started heading to town. "we should get to know each other more" she says. "how about we ask questions back and forth?" she says and I nod. "use words weirdo when I ask okay, your very non-verbal" and I nod "okay" I say sighing. This is gonna be awhile.
"What's you're favorite color?" Charlie starts first. "gray." I say. "so you do like dark colors" she asks, starting to annoy me. "no I like gray because gray weather comforts me, like storms and stuff and besides sometimes I like.....Green." I say frustrated. "that's the most words I can get out of you today, wow okay nice" she says. "what's yours" I say wanting to finish the game.
"red and purple" Charlie says simply. "okok I got a good one!" She says and I mentally prepare myself. "who's your celebrity crush!" She says intrigued "ugh do I have to answer?"
"yes obviously" she says, "fine umm Avril Lavigne" I say getting uncomfortable. "ok cool she's pretty" Charlie says. Who's yours?" I ask. "definitely Axl Rose from GnR and Billie from Green day. OH and Gerard Way from MCR!" she excitingly states. "any more for you?" she says calming down a little. "uh I guess stevie nicks is pretty too" I state wanting to fly out the car.
"cool you and I both like people from music" Charlie claims.
"Yea I guess" I say. I start to listen to the lyrics that are playing, I recall Charlie saying it's 'crush' by Paramore.
"they taped over your mouth, scribbled out the truth with their lies, you little spies"
"crush, crush, crush, CRUSH, CRUSH"
"nothing compares to...a quiet evening alone, just the one-two, I was just counting on."
"That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again"
I start tapping my foot to the tune "good song" I say to Charlie, "sure is" she says as we turn into the parking lot of TJ max.
