You're in the passenger seat of your best friend Hunter's car, drinking a smoothie you just got from Jamba Juice, and jamming to Meghan Trainor's new album.
"So what do you think Hayes? Do you like it?" You ask, pointing to his smoothie and taking a sip of your own. "It's actually really good!" He replies with a smile. "It's not coffee, but it'll make do for now."
You laugh. "Smoothies are healthier than coffee and depending on which one you get, they have different benefits. Like some smoothies have protein in them! And if I'm right, that should help you with your muscles!"
"But coffee gives me energy!" He yells, making you laugh. "So can smoothies. You can't win this argument Hayes!" You say.
"Okay but wait. Here's the thing..." he stops and takes a sip of his smoothie. "I am coffee. Coffee is me. We are one. I can't let a delicious thick fruit beverage change that..."
You almost choke on your smoothie before you both burst into laughter.
"Holy crap! What am I going to do with you?" You say, looking at him. "Even I can't answer that question," he says with a laugh.
All of a sudden, you hear your phone chime and you pick it up and see that your friend Shane has texted you.
"What's that?" Hunter asks. "Oh, it's just my friend Shane," you reply. "Shane?" He repeats. "Yeah! Remember? Shane from highschool! He's in town..." you say.
"Oh...that's great," he says, his demeanor changing. "Yeah. He wants to hang out with me later. Will you be able to drop me off at TGI Fridays later?" You say.
"You're going on a date with him?" He asks loudly. "Heck no! We're just talking and catching up on some things..." you reply.
The car is at a complete stop and he just stares at you for a few seconds. You don't know what's going on with him.
"Are you okay?" You ask. "What? Oh yeah! I'm fine..." he sighs. "Yeah I can drop you off."
"Okay thanks H!" You say with a small smile. "You're welcome..." he says, looking away.
