Jake, Reed, Carly, and Sophie

Sophie laughed wrapping her arms around his neck looking at him with his cute smile, why did he have such a cute smile. "Why thank you, you're so sweet." she teased putting on her seatbelt watching him get in his truck with ease. "You leave here and make a right and it's about a few blocks down it will be on the left call South Shore Diner." she told him.

Jake nodded and grinned at her, pulling out of the parking lot and driving the way that she had told him, playfully gunning the engine since no other cars were on the road. Sure, he was showing off, it was hard for him not to around a pretty girl.

Reed ran a hand through his hair, "I was practicing for a rodeo when I lost control of my horse. Something spooked him and threw him into a rage. I fell off and he decided to take his rage out on me." he winced slightly, remembering the pounding of hooves against his body, leaving permanent hoof prints against his skin, the frantic and angry whinnying from the bronco echoing in his ears. "My chest and ribs were cracked and one was inches from piercing my lung and my heart was almost crushed. Luckily Jake got there in time and got help. He distracted the bronco until my Pa came...with a gun. The only way to stop the horse was to kill it." he said softly. "We later found out it had contracted rabies from a wild coyote that had attacked a few days ago, it was the build up of the stress and the disease that made it go rogue."

"Do what often?" he smirked, "Take pretty girls for rides in my rig? Or drive around a lot?" he looked out the window and relaxed, gazing out at the scenery, but making sure to pay attention to the road.

Carly stared at the ground as he spoke, listening to him carefully. He finished, and she brought her gaze back up to him. She wasn't sure how to respond. "Do you tell everyone this when you first meet them? Or am I just special?" she asked with a small laugh. It was all she could manage, but she instantly felt stupid for not being more sympathetic.

((I just feel like adding in that my redneck ass cousin used to have a HUGE ass lifted truck and he always made me get in it by myself so he could laugh at me and it would take me like 10 minutes. And I would have to like jump from it to get out, and the first couple times I was afraid I was going to break my legs. xD))

Carly shrugged. "Well I guess I'm just not most people," she told him, rolling her eyes, "I don't see why someone would offer an apology for something that wasn't their fault." She nodded slowly when he spoke again. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I'm not really one to talk about my own problems though."

((I don't think I saw it))

Reed nodded, "And I'm not one to push someone else to tell me something when they don't want to talk about it, but I do like people who aren't like all the others I've met." he offered a kind smile, "Do you want to go sit down somewhere? Standing some times gets a little boring."

Jake laughed and gave her a flirty grin as he helped her down. "Then get use to it, I'll be here for the whole school year." he closed the door behind her and locked it, holding his arm out to her in a gentlemanly fashion, "Lunch will be my treat today, so get whatever you want today."

Sophie took his arm walking with him inside, "I'll hold you to that." she said feeling his arm a bit as she got to hold it. "Aw Jake you really don't have too, I might make you poor with the amount of food I eat." she said laughing going inside asking a table for two.
