Live together, Die Alone.

Chapter Four

June 4th, 2027

Three years later.

Windows rolled down, wind blowing through they're hair. Lorelei, in the drivers seat of a SQ5 Audi SUV. Melissa sitting next to her in the passengers seat scrolling through a Spotify playlist titled, "Florida road trip playlist". Ellie, with her head sticking her head out of the window like a dog on a hot summer day. Sarah and Jordan in the back giggling between themselves.

'Butterflies' by the Borin Brothers roared through the car on full volume. OK, more like more than halfway on the volume bar. Locking eyes with a motorcyclist at a red light on Lorelei's left.

"Hey look, there's you're future husband!" Melissa joked.

"Small world, I think I've seen him a couple days ago when I went out riding." Lorelei followed back, just now taking her eyes off of the cute biker on a glossy, black Aprilla RS 660 sport bike.

They pulled up to a small boba tea shop and surprisingly it wasn't too busy/crowded. The sun shone into the small little tawainese shop and the five girls walked over to a big, wooden counter where a cash register sat on top of.

"Hey there! What can I get for you ladies today?" A younger male, around 17 or 18 had asked them all.

"I'll take a honeydew melon. Oh, and make it a regular size." Lorelei told as she shifted her eyes to a display of cup sizes displaying a skinny but tall cup with a label saying, "Regular" and a tall but chunky cup with a label saying "Large".

Melissa pushed her way before Ellie and asked politely to the boy behind the counter,

"A regular coconut bubble tea, please." Melissa fluttered her eyes towards him.

"Uh, sure thing!" He said, dashing the price of it into the register.

"Can I have a regular, taro, please?" Ellie asked nicely to the boy.

"With pleasure." He replied to her.

Sarah stepped up.

"Mango, please." She asked, moving a piece of her chocolate brown colored hair behind an ear and avoiding eye contact.

Lorelei whispered towards Melissa,

"Look. I think Sarah likes him~" She teased with a soft smile appearing on her face.

"'Mango'. Ooh, good choice. Uhh, what size?" The boy asked looking deep into her eyes.

"Regular please." Sarah confirmed, taking a few steps back and looking at him once before turning her head away from him.

Then Jordan stepped up.

"Hi! Uhmm... Do you happen to have Winter Melon at all?" She stated.

"Uh, yeah I believe so, I'll go check in the back for you." He told her, jamming buttons into the register next to him and declared the price out loud to them.

"That'll be $25.84."

Lorelei stood in front of Jordan who hadn't move from the counter yet.

"I'll pay, don't worry." She offered politely.

Melissa stepped up.

"Wait, wait, no you paid for gas. Let me." She begged.

"Womp. Womp." Lorelei ordered, handing the guy her debit card before he could take Melissa's who was desperately trying to get her card out of her wallet from her flowered patterned Vera Bradley Rothvale shoulder bag.

"Missed me." Lorelei sneered with a sassed smirk on her face.

"Fuck you." Melissa hissed.

"Love you too, Babes." Lorelei blew a kiss towards Melissa. The guy handed Lorelei her card back with a smile, thinking their petty 'argument' was funny.
