Questions And Food Part 1

Crystal POV

The car comes to a stop and I can hear Quentin take out the keys turning the  car off tjat Tanner let him use so I feel around for my seatbelt buckle and unlock it. I hear him do the same and open his door getting out so I start feeling around for my door handle but before I can find it, he is already around and opening my door for me. I whisper a soft thank you getting out and he takes my hand to lead me inside. As soon as I feel the cold air I hear lots of noise so I'm guessing it's busy but once we step off to the side a little I can easily hear Quentin saying hi with two replies so I'm thinking his friends are here. I know that Dylan was in the room with me but I can't remember the other one's name. We move up a little and I realize that we are in a line when Quentin asks me,

"What do you want?"

I shrug slightly and say, "I d-don't know, y-you can ch-choose for me I've n-never been here b-before"

I don't hear him respond for a good few seconds when suddenly he says,

"You've never been to Taco Bell?"

I can hear disbelief and shock in his voice but I shake my head slightly because I'm telling him the truth. I've never had Taco Bell.

"Well you have been missing out and are about to have a very good meal."

I don't reply to him and just listen to him and the others talking about what they are all getting and we step forward again when I hear a guy behind in front of us ask for our order and they all order, Quentin ordering for me. I feel an arm around which I recognize as Quentins' but I still tense up a little because I don't know why he's doing it. After another moment he leads me off to the side and asks me what I want to drink.

Quentin's POV

Crystal tells me she's never had Taco Bell before and I can't believe my ears. After she silently assures me I tell her that I am going order for her and she doesn't really reply but I see a slight shrug in her shoulders telling me she's okay with it so as I start deciding what to get her. Tanner and Dylan are talking about what they are getting so I just add into that conversation until it's our turn to order. Tanner orders first followed by Dylan then I order for myself and for Crystal when I see the guy behind the register checking her out so I snake my arm around her waist almost in a possessive matter but I don't know why. I just felt like I needed to give the guy a sign to stop and it worked. I feel her tense up a little probably not expecting it but I don't say anything walking her over to the drink spot.

"What drink so you want?" I ask her but all she does is shrug. I sigh softly. I know this is probably a little uneasy for her but I don't want her to be miserable.

"What's your favorite soda?" I ask her trying to get an answer out of her when she replies in a soft voice,

"Sprite" to which I reply with, "Sprite it is."

I fill up both of our drinks and go over to the booth that Tanner and Dylan got for us.

I sit down and scoot over than gently pull her down next to me. She feels around the table a little like she's figuring out if anything is there and where it is. After a few moments of silence, Tanner is the first to speak up.

"So why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself "

She plays with her sleeve a little, her head down and quietly says, "th-there isn't much t-to say.."

"Then how about we all play a game of 21 questions?" He suggests,

"Wh-what is th-that?" She asks and we all kind of tilt our heads out of confusion, I guess we all just figured everyone knew that game. (If someone doesn't know this game I don't mean to be offensive, it's just part of the story)

"It's a game where we go around and we ask one question at a time and everyone has to answer it, including the person who asked it" I explain to her. (Some people play it a little different but this is how I do)

Once she nods softly I say, "okay I'll go first. Birthdays. Mine is January 12th, 2000."

"July 24th, 2000" Tanner says,

"January 2nd, 2000" Dylan says,

Then Crystal says "O-October 31st, 2000"

"You were born on Halloween?" I ask her smiling a little and she nods softly so I respond with "That's so cool I wish that was my birthday" and she doesn't say nor do anything after that.

Dylan goes next and asks, "Favorite Holiday, mine is Christmas"

"Same" Tanner says,

Then I say "Either Christmas or Halloween" and they both give me a look basically accusing me of just saying that because of her birthday and I roll my eyes at them because it's not.

I look over at Crystal and wait a few seconds for her to just shrugs lightly and says "I d-don't h-have one"

"Really? You don't have favorite to celebrate?" I ask her,

"I-I've never really c-celebrated anything b-before..."

When she says that my mouth gapes open almost because of how shocked I am and I say, "well than we are doing something epic for Halloween aka your birthday."

As soon as I say that our number gets called and Tanner goes up grabbing the two trays of food and bringing it back to the table. I find the box that I got for her, she has a regular hard taco, a nacho taco, and a quesarito. I unrap it all so it's easier for her then lead her hand to it so she knows it's there. I watch her as she feels around it for a moment then pick it up.
