"Wait, so you told her you were tired?" Lucas asked, surprised that his friend had been so idiotic.

Mike hadn't talked to Lucas since he had ditched them all last night, so he was filling him in on what happened with Stacey.

"Yes, because I actually was tired."

"She wanted to sleep with you Mike. One of the hottest girls we know, wanted to sleep with you and you turned her down, because you were tired??"

Mike really didn't understand why Lucas was making this a big deal. How did him sleeping or not sleeping with someone affect Lucas?

"Lucas, I dated her and still didn't sleep with her. Why would I sleep with her now, when I don't even like her?"

Lucas shook his head at his friend sitting across the table from him, wondering whether he had a brain in that head of his or not.

"Because she's hot!?"

"Well if she's so hot, why don't you sleep with her?" Mike was over this conversation already. He didn't like Stacey that way and definitely didn't want to sleep with her.

"She doesn't want me man! She wants you. Come on, you guys were perfect together."

"Perfect? Yeah, no. Not even close."

Mike gathered up all the trash and leftover food from his lunch, as Lucas started to do the same. They got up from the table, throwing everything away in a trashcan nearby.

"Can we just stop talking about Stacey? It's making my head hurt and we really need to get back to work. My dad's got eyes everywhere and he'll kill us if we're late."

They both worked at Mike's dad's brake shop. Even though his dad owned it, they still would get docked pay for taking too long of a lunch break. Mike really didn't want a pointless conversation costing him his hard earned money.

Lucas sighed, patting his friend on the back.

"Fine, but you'll come to your senses soon."

Mike rolled his eyes, as they walked toward the front of the restaurant to leave.

"Not likely," he mumbled to himself.

Before Mike made it to the door, something in the corner caught his eye. Well, more like someone.

It was the girl from the beach, that he just kept seeing.

She was sitting at a table in the corner, reading a book. Mike couldn't help but stare. For some reason, she was just so intriguing to him. And kinda beautiful.

Okay, not just kinda. She was beautiful.

As if she had felt someone staring at her, El looked up from her book, locking eyes with Mike. After a moment, she looked back down.

Mike turned away, but knew he had been caught. He was literally just standing in the middle of an empty restaurant, directly facing her table. It couldn't be more obvious that he was staring at her.
