Pills and Potions

Chap. 29

----Ron----

"Are you sure you want to go to Starbucks?"

"Yes and no I don't have an addiction." She glances up at the sign.

"You went through the whole week with it though."

I try as much as I can to persuade her not to go to Starbucks. I wonder if she's going to get the same one.

"Fine." I put my arm around her shoulders.

I drag myself to where she heads and stops at the counter to order.

She moves towards the glass of the counter and watches how they make it.

"Do you want whip cream?" the lady asks.

"Yes, please."

The whip cream comes over the rim of the cup's top. Skylar locates the straws and gets two of them. We seat ourselves near the window. She hands me the straw.

She just stares at me while sipping loudly. "Aren't you going to drink it?"

in my mind 'no comment intended'

Her facial expression changes into a sad face.

"Come on, please." she whines and gets distracted by something outside.

Alina and Finn walk slowly to the door.

"No, Finn. Gosh" Alina whispers to him.
Finn raises his hands in surrender. Then he notices us. Finn quickly turns Alina around and goes to the opposite side of the room. But Alina notices his eyes and turns around. She flashes a smile on her face and slowly jogs to us.

"Hey!" She brightly says.

"Hi." Her smile seemed a little unreal.

Alina waves at Finn to come over but he just turns back around.

"Give me a sec." She walks to Finn. Finn starts to do these really crazy hand movements. But finally he crosses his arms and stomps to us.

"Hi" He grumbles. Alina nudges him and he smiles.

"Hi, Finn." Skylar smiles but it looked plastic. She continues to stay calm. I don't what's making her like this.

"Um. So I guess.... Starbucks, huh?" Alina changes her position. Finn leans towards her and whispers something in her ear. Alina turns pale. She scolds at Finn and then at us.

"So. Nice seeing you." Finn utters. Alina slips into the seat next to me and starts to talk ; one on one with Skylar.

"Do you feel any kind of..... Weird things between Ron and Finn?"

"Mayb-, sort of." I hear Skylar whisper to Alina. Her face turns a pale peach color.

Alina turns. She examined Me and Finn. Then her eyes light up.

"Road trip!" She almost shrieks.

"I don't think it's a really good idea in a situation that might cause more problems." Skylar doesn't give any emotion.

"No it won't cause more problems. It can... Well. We can..." Alina shrugs. "We can work it out during the trip" She hopefully says.

"I think it's fine." I try not to sound in a really jolly manner, so I wouldn't annoy some people in the room.

Alina's face droops. "But where are we going to go? We need food. We need a big-o car. WE NEED THINGS!"Alina shrieks. Some people look toward us. Finn laughs.

Finally, a smile enters her face. "Maybe, we can work things out."

Alina's face brightens. "What the hell are we waiting for? We need to buy our crap! Let's get going you big, dorks!"
