My Old Pickup Truck

Motion Sickness

2:40pm Thursday

I'm in class just waiting for the glorious bell to ring.

Twenty more minutes before I can finally go home. I mean, I like philosophy but i just really wanna hit the bed. I'm so tired from last night's shift.

Then off went the bell. As soon as it did, all my classmates started standing and picking up their bags and walking out. They didn't even bother listening to the teacher.

"There will be a quiz tomorrow regarding today's lesson! Oh.. they are never gonna listen to me. Louise!" The teacher calls out to me. "Review for tomorrow's quiz, okay?"

"Eh. Tabula rasa. :'>" I replied and went out.

Once I got view of my truck, I saw a couple were leaning on my hood, kissing like animals.

"Hey, hey! Fuck off, you two!" They started going away from the hood still kissing by bits and pieces. "Fuck off!" And they went away holding hands and laughing.

Honestly.. they're kinda cute.

Then I took off.

3:10pm Thursday

I drove to the grocery store near my college since im really out of proper foods to eat. I went inside, walked around looking for..

Aha! Noodles and chips!!

I took a whole pack of spicy noodles and put it in my basket and took 2 bags of large chips on the other side. I went to the alcoholic beverages section next and found my favorite drink.

Andy Player. Ah! The whiskey cola..

I put two bottles of it in the basket and then I saw the canned coke. I start to remember Claire again.

Her smile is just the purest thing I have ever seen. I wonder what she's doing right now. She could be studying or something.

I smile and took two cans of coke. As soon as I put the cans in my basket, a person bumped their basket on my back pretty hard.

"Ow!! Holy shit!" I exclaimed in pain.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!!" Wait.. i know that voice. I face the person, and I see Claire.

Am I dreaming?

"Louise? Oh shit, Louise. I'm so sorry." She apologizes and I assured her that I'm okay by waving my hand.

"Yo, I'm good. I'm good." I smiled at her and she has her hand in the back of her head.

I look at her, she's wearing a hoodie and a backpack. In her grip is a basket and I saw noodles.

"You here for noodles?" I ask her and she nods.

"Yea, you?" I lift my basket to show her the noodles I have.

We walk towards the cashier, baskets in our hands.

Well? Talk to her, idiot!

"So.. how have you been?" I ask her as we stand in line.

"Pretty good, been studying and I actually got here from my college." She responds smiling at me.

"Really? I was just at my college, as well." I said smiling back at her. Then we both became silent.

"Last Sunday, um, what were you doing at the park?" She asks out of nowhere.

"Well.. uhh, I wanted to take my truck for a little drive, and I thought that going to the park would be a great idea." I answer her cheekily.
