My Not So Happy Ending

Chapter 3

I hopped in the car as Hunter and Darianna followed. I smiled as the ignition came to life in my Pink Mini Cooper (it was a custom paint job). I shifted the gear into drive, and pulled out of the parking space, winding down the road.

"What restaurant are we going to, again?" Hunter asked, leaning forward. I rolled down the windows.

"Wooooo!" Darianna yelled out the window. I smiled, and looked at Hunter in the rearview mirror.

"HOW ABOUT MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD?" I shouted over the wind whipping my Crimson hair.

"CARRABA'S!" We all yelled, ending it with a fit of laughter.

"Hey!" Hunter yelled at me, texting someone. "An old friend of mine moved into the area! Can he tag along?!" I smiled.

"FRESHMEAT!" We laughed. "WHAT'S HIS ADDRESS?"

****

I pulled up to his house, and he came running out. Hunter had said his name was Trinity. When I saw him, I blushed. He was HOT. He had dirty blonde curly hair, that was the perfect balance of waviness, and curliness. I honked my horn, smiling.

"Sit in the front, Tri!" Hunter yelled. He went around and sat in the seat next to me. He was wearing grey jeans, and a red deadmau5 shirt, with neon green and black vans.

"Hey Hunter!" He said, buckling his seat belt.

"Hey," I said. "I'm Madi! Nice to meetcha!"

"And I'm Darianna." He turned to D and smiled. Then he looked at me.

"Where are we going, again?" I started driving, and yelled "CARRABA'S," as a reply.

We walked up to the hostess, and asked for a table for four, under Trinity-in honor of our newcomer.

"Thank you," she said, handing us a buzz timer thingy. "The wait should only be around 15 minutes or less."

"Thank you," I said smiling, and sat down in the waiting area.

"Hey, D," I asked. "Can you hold this? I gotta go to the bathroom real quick." She nodded, and I handed her the buzzer. I walked off to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror.

"Urgh! My make up smudged..." I wiped it with my finger, and added some more eye liner. Then, I took my blush and a brush out of my purse, and put some on. I checked my hair really quickly, too.

I had Crimson scene hair with swoop bangs, and medium length heavy layers, with long underlayers. I had a pink and purple bow in my hair, and a Hello Kitty shirt that looked like a football jersey. I also had a pair of grey acid wash skinny jeans on.

When I looked better, I walked outside, and found them already sitting in a booth. I walked over, and sat down.

"Never fear, good citizens of Townsville! I am here!" And with everyone laughing I put my napkin on my lap.

"So," D started. "Where DID you move from Trinity?" He sat back.

"Well, I was born in New York, but I grew up here in California until I was seven. Then, I moved to Seattle, and now I'm back!"

"Oooh," I said. "Seattle! Thats where all the Vampire Gangs are!" We laughed, and a waitress came up.

"Hello everyone, I am Karen, and I will be your server today. Is this your first time at Carraba's?"

"No way!" Hunter said, louder than he needed to.

"Well then, welcome back! Can I get you drinks?"

I got a Dr. Pee, D got a Coke, Hunter got a Sprite, and Trinity got a Dr. Pee, too.

"Trinty," I said.

"You can call me Tri. And yes, you can pronounce it like you would say 'tree.'" I laughed.

"Tri! You like Dr. Pepper? I love Dr. Pepper!"

"Me, too!" We both laughed.
