"Bye guys!" Georgia squealed
"WAIT!" Lara and I exclaimed
"Do you have your phone?" I asked
"Yes... Why?" She replied
"Well you just have to tell us what he's saying..." Lara excused
"Okay whatever i'll call you and just sit on mute and-"
BEEP
We heard a car horn.
"GEORGIA GO" we shouted in excitement. As Georgia walked, Lara childishly grabbed the back of her dress as if it were a vail at a wedding. I ran forward and opened her brown door and bowed.
"For you Sir" I said as he stood at the door. For a moment I inspected him. Mousey hair, eyebrows better than mine, gorgeous eyes, smooth babyish skin. Tall and an athletic body. I can see why Georgia liked him. The question is- is he an ass? Lara and I stood at the door watching as he took her waist. We were like proud parents. He opened the door for Georgia and she entered his car. Lara turned to me.
"Did you see that?" She asked
"What?" I replied
"He winked at me" she spoke
"Maybe it was nothing" I suggested
"We'll see" she said
As they drove down our quiet road towards a crossroads we waved hoping they would take the right road- and not just because they'd be lost. We rushed inside and grabbed Lara's phone and waited.
**************
It was about twenty minutes before there was a call- of course we answered and muted ourselves.
"So uh Georgia right?" He asked
"Yeah, James right?" She nervously said- this wasn't at all awkward.
"So hey what do you enjoy?" James questioned
"Well uh, I enjoy writing, I love Harry potter and y'know other fandoms, I also enjoy art and design" she anxiously spoke
"Ah oh well I love sports y'know..." He then continued to bore us with "sports talk" we messaged her asking if she wanted help- no reply. We have no idea where our friend is.
"Here are your starters" a stranger spoke (must be a restaurant we thought. How original...)
"What?! We never ordered those!" He shouted at Georgia.
"What I never" she said confused
"Look at you, why did you order them? Not like you need anymore" He spouted. Lara and I just sat there.
"Well excuse me. At least I know how to treat myself, at least I know how to respect others. I may not be the most desirable girl, no one feels they are, but saying something like that makes you more undesirable than anyone. I will enjoy these thanks James. Good luck finding another woman you cliché pig" she stated. We then heard an applause- which she so deserved. We rushed out the door to pick up our friend.

We saw a ginger girl in a gorgeous blue dress outside a restaurant- It was Georgia. With a dismal expression on her face we pulled up.
"Hey need a ride?" I asked in a manly voice. She gradually looked up and smirked.
"That'd be lovely" Lara jumped out and was the "gentleman" for the evening and opened her car door.
"How did you even find me?" She asked.
"Kathy um..." Lara said
"Fine, I put an app on your phone and my number as back up as you have a tendency to not tell us where and y'know that call cut out because our minutes went... Nice rant by the way" I admitted
"Wow... It's fine... And you heard? He was a rude pig and deserves no woman" Georgia said
"Georgia you are a great person that not everyone knows how to love, you'll find him" I said while winking at Georgia
"Uh Georgia he said his name is James, what does he look like?" Lara asked while focused on the wheel.
"Here, I was sneaky" she showed us
"Lara look this is why he winked. He's one of those in that group Georgia met the other day, maybe he's friends with the one that flirted with you?" I said
"Joe gave me his number, i'll sort this ass out" Lara said angrily
" Thanks guys you really don't-" Lara cut her off.
"Yes we bloody do, he's an ass"
"Hey why don't we cheer up a little yeah?" I said while putting our song on and on we drove through the streets of England back to Georgia's house. We laughed. We all laughed again. There is a time where that will end. I just don't know when.
