"You lost pup?".

Making a face I rolled my eyes.

Pup?

"Pete's just kidding Leah. You waiting on Alanna?". Jack asked.

"Yeah". I felt uncomfortable at the way they were staring at me.

"We don't bite sweetheart". Pete smirked.

"Speak for yourself". Another one piped up.

"Pete, Ricky get inside". Jack hissed.

"Because that wasn't awkward". I sighed taking out my phone.

"They're just messing around. Don't take it personal". Jack grinned. "I'll send Alanna out unless you want to come in?".

Absolutely not.

"No it's fine I'll wait out here". If she took any longer I'd end up catching a cold. I did wonder where Jake was though I hadn't heard from him all day. Not that I needed to hear from him right enough.

"Sorry Leah I got caught up. You ready to go?". Alanna came rushing down the path.

"Yes I'm freezing".

"How was school, did I miss much?". She asked as she pulled out of our street.

"Nah nothing exciting. Everything okay with you?". I wanted to ask her about Jake but at the same time I didn't. She would just jump to conclusions.

"Yeah everything's fine. Did Ryan cancel on you?". As she pulled up to the diner I sighed. The last time I was here wasn't great.

"He had to go to practice but I think he's coming over tomorrow how come?". I didn't see how Ryan and I hanging out was anyone's business.

"No reason". She smiled parking her car and turning the engine off. "I'm starving". As we entered the diner I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed it wasn't busy.

Sitting in a booth at the back I opened the menu to see what I could eat. I like this booth because I could see who was coming and going.

"I'm getting chilli cheese fries, a spicy chicken burger and a chocolate milkshake. Have you decided yet?".
