Jada picked up her fork off the table and stabbed down at her Alfredo. The frail table trembling at the tremor of her piercing blows, Alex immediately noticed this.

“I wonder when your food will get here haha.” Jada said, the creamy sauce slipping out the corners of her mouth.

Avoiding contact with the nastiness that was Jada’s face while eating Alex said

“By the time it gets here it feels like I’ll probably be out of town to school.”

Jada twisted the thick noodles around her fork with her left hand, and slobbishly twisting the piece of her dark hair that draped in her face with her right hand.

“Well at least I get something first here for once.” Jada said with an undertone of resentment. Alex knew what this was about. Staring at his reflection in the mirror on the wall behind Jada, his bleached buzzed hair nearly making him look like a thumb, Alex responded “Well you know how much money you’re saving right, I’d kill to not already be in debt at our age.” This was Alex’s semi automated programmed response. Normally he would find something else to focus on but with his side of the dark table empty of food all he could do was stare at the constantly moving alfredo Jada had her hands on.

“You can have some if you really want. I peep you staring at it, it’s good.” Jada said. Her nostrils flaring a bit and the activity of her eyebrows increasing a ton, she was pissed.

“No really I’m good, you know I’m pretty simple, my burger will suffice whenever it decides to show up haha.” Alex said awkward laughing off at the end.

“Can’t get more simple then me, barely graduating and staying in my hometown.” Jada said. As she finished saying hometown she got up, dropping the cream covered fork onto the marbled flooring and storming off back into the restaurant, her black sundress hard to follow in these dark lights.
