dana and janie were already at pollos, which is the best pizza place ever. we go there all the time its sort of our hang out.
i pulled over my UCLB (university of california - long beach.) and headed out the door on my way to pollos.
i didn't live to far away it was right around the corner and i enjoyed the walks.

"jules!" dana yelled when i enter pollos.
"hey!" i smiled walking towards the table that we usual sit at.
"late late late." janie shook her head and i laughed.
"tara is here she's in the restroom right now, she brought harry along too." dana said.
"where is he?" i asked taking a seat next to janie.
"back corner." dana said.
I looked past dana and saw harry there with ear buds in his ears and him tapping on the table.
"he's so mysterious." i whispered.
"yeah he is. its so hot!" janie gushed.
"ladies." gwen, the waitress greeted.
"gwen." we said in unison.
"just the usual today?" she asked.
"as always." dana giggled.
"it will be right out girls." gwen smiled going back to her job.
"hi jules." tara said sitting next to dana.
"hello." i smiled.
"tara, what's up with harry?" janie asked.
"what do you mean?" tara said raising a brow.
"why is he so dark and mysterious?" janie asked again.
"im not exactly sure, all I know is that his mother kicked him out of the house when he dropped school and he makes good money." tara shurgged.
"he's pretty." janie cooed.
"yep he's a real ladies man." tara nodded.
"he doesn't seem like it, why doesn't he come sit with us?" I asked tara.
"he's in a pissy mood because I forced him to come here, i wanted him to make some friends." tara sighed.
"jules is good at this kind of stuff." dana said. "she can make harry talk."
"no i'd rather not." i shook my head.
"please jules for meee." tara begged.
"ok ok." i sighed getting up from the table.
"good luck!" tara wished me and I rolled my eyes and made my way towards harry.
"hi." I smiled sitting across from him. he just nodded his head in response.
"do you want to come and join us?" I asked and he shook his head.
"ok well why are you in a pissy mood?" i asked him.
"im not." he shrugged.
"well come sit with us then." i said.
"i don't want to." he spat.
"oh I get it. its because youre a bad boy'" I laughed.
"actually im not a bad kid." he said leaning into the table.
"then what's with the all black and 'not giving a crap about the world',
look for?" I asked.
"you look intimidating to others and they will leave you alone." he gave a stifled laugh. "but like you, I see that you want to get to know more about me so you're not intimidated by me."
what he said did make sense. he acts bad so others will be scared by him so they will leave him alone. i have never thought of it that way.
"what are you thinking?" harry asked me.
"nothing." I lied.
"yeah sure." harry laughed.
"are you hungry?" i asked him.
"yeah a little, want to split a pizza with me?" i asked him.
"or you can come sit with us and share the pizza we already have order." i said.
"ugh." he groaned. "but dont sit me by that blonde haired girl." he said referring to janie.
"deal." i smiled and stood up from the table with harry following me.
