Beanie Power

Unpalatable Tramp

"Hey look, isn't he just Brad Pitt gorgeous?" Jess squealed looking at the other end of the food court.

I snorted rather unattractively and shook my head. The guy was definitely not that good looking. If anything he was a Robert Pattinson ugly. But of course I couldn't say that out loud.

"Yea, no. More like... hmmm. Oh! Daniel Radcliffe okay." I suggested, taking another sip of my smoothie and leaning back in my oh-so-not-very-comfortable chair.

"I see where you're coming from, but look at his hair. Totally gorge." I rolled my eyes at Jess's blonde talk.

"His hair is obviously bleached. You can't have brown eyebrows with that light a hair color. Plus he looks like Muscle Man from The Regular Show. Muscles that big are not attractive."

"Technicalities!" Jess hissed while waving her hands around, dismissively. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the food court as I just looked at her in amusement. Only Jess would turn a shopping trip into a full blown check out session.

"Oh! Look over at the smoothie shop." Jess whispered excitedly.

Rolling my eyes I lazily turned my gaze towards the place where we got our smoothies. There was a guy ordering, and guess what, he had a beanie!

"Cross your fingers, girl!" Jess laughed.

Boy was I. I can't tell you how many times I thought I saw a cute guy with a beanie and they turn out to look like something the Loch Ness Monster puked up.

From behind the guy looked fairly descent. He wore a thin red hoodie and dark jeans. His hair was long enough to stick out all around and I can't tell you how cute that was.

"He's turning around!"

"Shh!" I hushed Jess so her talking wouldn't disrupt my vision.

Wait, what?

The guy seemed to turn in slow motion and when he turned around fully I was stunned. And not in a good way.

He turned out to be a she.

Jess and I locked eyes and were silent a good three seconds before we burst out laughing.

We were laughing so obnoxiously loud the people around us started giving us dirty looks but we didn't care. This whole thing was so completely hilarious and so disappointing.

I grabbed my ribs and leaned forward gasping for breath but I still couldn't stop laughing. "My ribs!" I choked out around my loud cackles.

"Holy pancakes, I'm crying!" Jess laughed, tears streaming down her face.

I slumped forward on the table and tried my hardest to subdue my laughter. "Ok. Ok O-"

"May I ask what's so funny?" I jumped, the new voice taking me by surprise. Turning around in my chair, I was completely taken aback by the guy standing behind my chair.

He was cute with brown hair and hazel eyes. Drawback though; he wasn't wearing a beanie. It was okay though, because it clearly wasn't me he had his sights on.

He was smirking at my best friend who was oh so obviously gaping at him. Hilarious. The girl that was always bugging me about being more social had nothing to say.

"Um... Nothing. Who's laughing? I'm not laughing, are you laughing?" So Jess's verbal vomit decides to make an appearance now of all times.

He chuckled. "You are adorable, love. I'm Lucas, but you my beautiful flower can call me Luke." He grinned, parting his lips to give her a glance at his pearly whites, and offered her his hand.
