Southern Charm [✓]

Chapter Two

Right on time, the doorbell rang. I swear that girl thinks being late is a sin punishable by death or something. I don't know how many lectures I've gone through about that topic, and I don't wish to start counting; we could be here all night.

I run upstairs to make sure no one else gets it. As I round the corner, I see Drew lounging on the couch. I don't think the cable company had anything better to do today, so we got cable hours after we arrived. Not that I'm complaining, I love me some NCIS at midnight.

I see Jim going for the door and speed up, bypasing a very confused looking Dad and skidding to a spot at the door. I throw it open and immediatly I'm pulled into a hug.

"Em!" my bestie squeals.

"Jess!" I squeal back good-naturedly.

I glance over her shoulder and take in the rental car she got, nearly laughing out loud when I see the branding on the front.

"You got a Ferrari for Hillbilly Land?"

She pulls back and shruggs. "It was that or a Calli, and I wasn't in the mood for a Cadillac."

I laugh, "Only you would pick the Ferrari, boo."

"Are we still on that?" she asks, frowning slightly.

I smile innocently, "Hey now, you're the one who started it."

She sticks out her tongue and hands me some of her Louis Vuitton luggage.

I raise an eyebrow, "Were you already packed?"

She mimicks my expression, "Why would you think that?"

"You actually got here before midnight."

She scoffs, "I just didn't want to miss NCIS."

I nod, "That's understandable."

We walk through the living room, completely ignoring Dad and Jim and their curious looks, up until Drew decided to turn away from the T.V and actually look at his surroundings.

"And who's this?" he asks, a smirk playing across his lips.

A huge frown flickered onto Jess' face. "A girl who loves her boyfriend very much."

I had to hold back a smile at that; she hasn't had a boyfriend since that scumbag Josh broke her heart, and I remember the morning after well-- when I woke up, I found myself swimming in Hershey chocolate bar wrappers. I didn't complain until I found myself practically strapped to the toilet.

"I think we can change that." Well, there goes the perfect southern guy I was hoping for.

We both scoff and say, "In your dreams, pretty boy." then we march downstairs.

If you're wondering, yes, that was a very thought out process. After the fifth boy that attempted to hit on us when we were deemed "dating ready" by our very reluctant fathers and very excited mothers, we came up with a way to diss the scums and practiced quite a lot. I guess that means Drew was considered "scum". Well, as he said, I think we can change that.

To say Danny's Diner is interesting was like saying Jess liked to shop-- it was a huge understatement.

I can't actually think of the right words to describe such a place. I think it was meant to be a town hall of fame, or something along those lines.

One wall was covered in high school football memoribilia and another was covered in hunting rifles. An odd match, you say? Well, the other two walls were covered in a mixture of hockey and golf trophies. Now you see why I said "interesting" was an understandment.

At least the walls were painted differently and had the correct colors and decor to go with the things on them. Like the football lantern hanging above a table and the hockeystick chairs. I suspect an interior decorator was put to it.

 Of course, that was only the first thing I noticed when I walked into the place. The second of course being the group of hot guys in a corner booth. By the look Jess got on her face, I can tell that's what she noticed first, and by the look of disgust that crossed her face, she noticed the decor second.

Drew immediatly pushed through our small crowd and made his way over to them. Then I noticed their varsity jackets. Ah, they were jocks. That explains a lot, actually.

Jess and I exchanged an evil smile; we knew how to deal with jocks.
