Penelope pouts her lips and squeezes her eyeballs shut, scrunching her nose.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm thinking."
"Looks like a lot of effort to think."

My friends laugh as Penelope tells a story as she sits watching us all work.
"You're random." Gavin says handing me a cloth i can use to clean this cars motor.
"I like being random. Being boring isn't fun." She giggles.
God, the way she smiles. The way she laughs. It makes me happy.
I don't often feel happy but everytime im with her i feel it. I feel a lot of things. And i couldn't help but smile with her this morning.
"Nice ass." I hear a voice behind me.
I groan and turn around seeing my ex girlfriend, Angel.
She is not a fucking Angel.
"What do you want?" I cross my arms leaning against the car.
"My cars broken down, what do you think, asshole?"
I walk over to her car and pop the bonnet.
"Your radiators hot, needs water on it." I tell her like i do every summer.
"You are such an asshole." I hear Angel following up behind me as i go back to the garage.
I ignore her. I'm so done putting up with her bullshit.
We dated for a 3 months about a year ago. And she's clearly mad at me.
I broke up with her because she was stealing my money.
I ignore her ranting and i go up to the fridge and grab a drink of water. I can feel Penelope watching from beside me as she sits on the small kitchen bench we have out here.
"Who's that?" She asks.
"My ex."
"Oh."
I take a few gulps of my water and then hand it to Peneople, "Drink."
I need to keep her hydrated and fed.
She drinks a few gulps and i take the bottle putting it in the fridge.
