After finding Camila playing pool with Harry mysteriously in one of the side rooms, we grab Dinah from the room they were originally in and say our goodbyes. We get to the car and it's chillier than it was when me and Lauren went outside earlier. She shivers next to me in the car as Dinah gives Ally the directions to the restaurant they were talking about. Apparently it's open 24-7 which is a smart idea when you are close to a college campus. We pull into the parking lot and I go to the trunk to grab my red bomber jacket and hand it to Lauren. She smiles graciously and I give her a smile back.

We walk into the restaurant and they lead us to a U-shaped booth. A few other tables are occupied but it looks like they are getting ready to leave. Ally and I sit on the ends while Dinah sits next to Ally with Camila on the other side of her and Lauren next to me. We stare at the menus and Dinah and Lauren try to tell us what's good to eat. I'm resting my head on my hands behind the menu when the waitress comes over.

"Hey Dinah and Lauren." I move my head up when I hear her British accent. She looks around the table and her eyes rests on mine. "I see you've brought your beautiful friends along this time."

We all smile and she sets down the napkins for our drinks. "My name is Leigh-Anne but you can call me whatever you'd like." She says with a wink and I let out a chuckle which she smiles at. "I'll be your server tonight. Can get you girls started with some drinks?"

I glance back at the menu remembering that I didn't look for a drink. "Umm do you have lemonade?" I ask.

"We do now." She says winking and writing it down. The rest of the girls tell her their drink orders and she writes them down before looking back up. "Alright I'll go grab those for you guys. I'll be back to grab your order as well." She says and walks away.

I look back at the menu until I feel a kick on my leg. I look up and Ally is nodding her head towards where Leigh-Anne just disappeared to with a weird face. I furrow my eyebrows confusingly and look back and forth. She lets out a huff of air and face palms. "She's flirting with you, you oblivious girl."

I shake my head. "No. She's just doing her job. I do that at work all the time."

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah and you are flirting. How many times do I have to tell you that?"

"How many time do I have to tell you everyone doesn't like me?" I say smiling sweetly at her.

"Can someone else tell her because she is oblivious?" Ally says turning her attention to the rest of the table. Everyone is looking at one another and no one says anything. I'm about to prove my point until Dinah says something.

"Yeah she is." Dinah says and then jumps a little. "But you know she could be doing it for the tips like I'm sure you do ya know?" She says looking between me and Lauren.

I squint my eyes but nod my head slowly. Leigh-Anne comes back with the drinks and places them in front of each person before turning to me with her note pad. "Are you ready to order?" I look around the table and everyone nods their heads so I start.

"Can I have the 9 ounce steak with the garlic mashed potatoes and can I have that medium well?" I ask with a smile.

"Yes you can." She says with a smirk.

"I'll have the same thing as her." Lauren says sounding a lot more deflated than she did when we were in the car. Camila orders tenders and fries and Dinah and Ally both order burgers with fries. She jots it down and then smiles again as she leaves with the menus.
