Barakon City

"Alli..." she replied. She tucked a strand of chocolate brown hair behind her ear.

"So..." she started uncertainly, "What year are you in?"

 

"I'm a sophomore. I heard your a freshman?" Joey said still flipping through the pages of the book. He frowned as his watch beep signaling he had to be in the dorm area now before curfew. "What do you say we continue this talk in the campus pub? It's in the dorm area and doesn't close to midnight." Joey said putting his motorcycle gloves back on.

 

"Yeah I'm a freshman... Sure I'll... Uh... Could you show me the way? I'm still a bit lost." Alli asked quietly.

 

"That's fine. You have a car you're gonna follow me in or are you riding on the back of my motorbike." He said as he saw one of the lights in a part of the library go off. "Hurry up. Looks like they're closing up." He said buttoning up his jacket now.

 

"I've got a car..." she made her way out the door and to the parking lot by the library. She got in her silver Toyota Camry.

 

Joey put on his helmet starting up his red Yamaha Limited Edition sports bike. The roar of the engine was loud and probably woke some people sleeping in their dorms. He then led the way to the dorm building and stopped in a parking space at the campus pub.

 

Alli parked beside him and cut the engine...

"Nice bike," she commented. "My brother has one similar to it..."

 

"Thanks. I got this with what was left of my student loan." Joey said with a smile. He then opened the door to the pub revealing tables and booths and a bar. There were groups of people all sitting down having drinks talking and laughing. "Ladies first." He said holding the door open for her to walk in.

 

"Thanks, Joey..." She walked into the pup.

"Interesting..." she thought.

 

"Your welcome." He said walking in behind her. When he walked in everyone waved and greeted him. He smiled and waved to all of them. "How are you Joey? And who's this lady friend of yours?" The bartender, Alfred asked. "I'm fine and this is Alli. She's new here. Alli this is Alfred the Bartender here at the campus pub." He said smiling at her. "So is this your new girlfriend. Don't you think it's a little early it was only a little while ago since the accident." Alfred asked cleaning a glass. Joey frowned and replied to Alfred. "No, I just met her today. And you know I don't like it when you mention that."

 

Alli looked between the two of them.

"Girfriend?! Accident?! What the hell's going on here?!"

 

"Female," she replied. She shifted from foot to foot nervously.

 

Joey sighed telling Alfred to fix him a drink and sat on a stool. "3 weeks ago my girlfriend was in a car accident. While she was in the hospital they removed all the glass from her head and everywhere else but her heart rate was way too high. I went in thinking she was calm. So I walked in with a giant teddy be-" He stopped for a moment his eyes starting to water. "When I walked in there with a giant teddy bear and balloons is startled her and she had a heart attack. Half an hour later the doctor came into the lobby and told me she was dead."He took 3 large gulps from the bottle of beer and set it back on the bar.

Joseph walked into the pub with at least 2 other friends all of them laughing as they walked in. His smile widened when he saw Joey and the girl. "Who's this Joey? Are trying to take her slumming too?" Joseph said followed by a round of laughter from his friends.

Joey took another sip from the bottle and glared at Joseph. "Shut up." he said balling up his fist.

Joseph kept going. "Or maybe she just your little one night stand." He said this time followed by an even bigger round of laughter.

Joey finished the bottle this time and slammed it down standing up facing Joseph this time. "Shut up! " He said said balling his fists even tighter.

Joseph looked even closer. "Or maybe your going to kill her just like your other girlfriend." He said this time being followed by a series of "ooooooo's"

Joey yelled out this time tackling him and unloading punches on him. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!"


The man handed her the sheet with her name on it and a key. "Your in room 14A. Ah you have a roommate. A miss Alli Lane."

 

Alli stood up, pulled them apart, and stood between them...

"Now, gentlemen... I suggest we settle down. What happened to his girlfriend was not his fault. It could have happened to anyone. And I'll have you know," she turned to Joeseph, "We're just two friends having a drink... And I think you should leave..."

 

Kristen half bowed and mumbled a thanks before taking the keys and putting them into her pocket. She wandered around the school. Shouting made her step into the pub and she watched quietly.

 

Alli shook her head at the boys...

"I'll take a gin please..."

 

Joseph got up from underneath Joey and wiped blood from his mouth. "My father will hear about this! And you're gone!!" After that he walked out with the rest of his group.

Joey sighed and turned around sitting back on the stool. "I can understand if you wanna go Alli. Hell, I pobably would too." He said before taking a sip from another bottle.

Alfred handed her her drink. "Enjoy. First ones on the house."

 

"Thanks... And Joey, I'm not going anywhere. They were the jackasses." she took a sip of the gin.

 

OOC: Okay guys I added another place onto the City the Baramarket its just like Wal Mart.

Joey chuckled a bit and smiled as he took another sip from the bottle. "Nice sense of humor ya got there." He said smiling at her.

 

"Yeah whatever... Alfred, can I have a strawberry margarita on the rocks no salt?"
