A diner right outside of the school.

Dylan walked in and ordered a drink. Then he sat down at a booth and took a sip of his drink as he watched the news. He scowled and then connected his phone to the TV and switched the channel.

Zoey walked in and ordered some fries and a Dr Pepper.

Dylan was still changing the channels. He frowned again and then sighed.

Zoey looked up and looked around and saw Dylan. She walked over, "Hey" She said putting her sunglasses in her newly dyed red hair.

(dyed... Sorry just... :)

Dylan looked at her and smiled, "Hello stranger. Like your hair." He said as he decided on a channel and then went back to looking at her, "How are you today?" He asked gesturing for her to sit with him.

((Sorry yeah.))

"Thanks. And im good you?" She asked sitting down next to him. She set down her fries and drink.

((Sorry just it looked a bit... *_*)

"I'm.... Still breathing, so that has to count for something. My dad is going to court later so that's just awesome!" He shook his head, "Anyway so what's up? Anything new with you?"

((LOL i just saw it sorry.))

"Awe im sorry bout your dad." She said to him. "And nope just came here from the mall getting this done." She grabbed some of her hair then put it down.

((Its not a big deal, but you know, her hair is not dead (hopefully) and for a second I was a bit confused...))

Dylan shrugged, "Its his fault, don't care if he ends up in jail, but I know I don't want him free. And whats up in the mall?" He asked her as he took one of her fries and popped it in his mouth.

((Hopefully. Lol))

She glared at him for a moment. "The ceiling?" She said and giggled a bit.

((LOL))

"You sound like Amari." He said dryly as he took another one of her fries and then turned up the volume on the TV.

She laughed and kissed him. "Well does Amari do that?" She asked him.

Dylan opened his mouth to answer, but then didn't and thought for a moment. "No." He said.

She looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "Good cuz she dated Austin. And based on that you dont look like her type." She said to him.

"I said no!" He argued. "Her type? I didn't even know she had a type." He chuckled a bit at the thought. He was pretty sure she just went around to the boys she thought looked good enough.

"Yeah she goes around making out with every boy she thinks is cute." She said sarcastically. And now was thinking of something to change the subject.

"Making out with them is new... She's actually very... picky about who she kisses... When she's sober at least... Whatever." He crossed his arms.

Zoey looked over at him and raised her eyebrows again and bit her lip but didnt say anything.

He gave her a look, "Everything okay over there in Zoey land?" He asked when he saw her bit her lip.

"Mmm hmm." She said and took a sip of her Dr Pepper.

"Yeah okay." He said as he turned up the volume again to try and listen to the news better.

She looked up at the TV and watched it for a bit then took out her phone and went thru that for a bit.

"Bored with me already?" He asked her raising his eyebrow at her as he looked at the TV then back at her.

She looked up at him and raised her eyebrows. "And why would i be bored of you?" She asked him.

"I have no idea, you just get bored easily." He told her as he took a sip of his drink and then looked at the table.

"Yeah i do, but im not bored of you. Im still here arent i?" She asked looking at him.

"I guess yeah." He agreed with a nod as he looked at the TV. He tried to listen in, but it was not working.

She put her phone in the back pocket of her shorts and grabbed his hand and looked up at the TV.

He squeezed her hand tightly and then swallowed as his eyes scanned everything that was going on in the TV

He eyes moved from the TV to him and she watched him closely.

He eyes the TV and then waited, it was going to be a long while before they came to a choice, so he would have to a) wait the four hours or b) quit while he was ahead.

"What are you waiting for, babe?" She asked him squeezing his hand quickly to get his attention.

He jumped a bit and then looked at her, "What do you mean?" He asked her as he gently pulled her closer to him

"Your eyes are glued to that screen like your waiting for something." She said looking up at him.

He looked down at her and then at the TV again as he stroked her hair and said nothing.

She looked at him then the TV, and moved closer to him and put her head on his arm since she couldn't reach his shoulder the way she was sitting.

He gently ran his fingers through her hair and then kissed the top of her head, and then his eyes went back to the TV, waiting in anticipation.

She watched the TV with him wondering what he was waiting for. "Is this about your dad?" She asked softly he probably couldn't hear her,

His grip on her tightened, just slightly as he nodded, "Yeah, its a big case, you know? The husband who killed his wife and then left his son. Its stupid that I still watch it. They should just let him rot in jail." He shook his head.

She looked up at him. Then took her hand away and hugged him tightly. "Im sorry. I've seen it. I didnt know it was you." She said to him into his shoulder.

He nodded, "I was a kid when it happened. Funny thing is, I had no idea what was happening, but I still testified..." He sighed and then wrapped his arms around her and gently pulled her onto his lap

She got up on his lap. "Im sorry you should not had to been put through that." She said her voice still low.

"No one should, but it happens more often than you think. I just want it over and out of my life." He sighed again and then hugged her close to him.

She nodded and put her head back in his neck.

He stroked her softly and then looked back at the TV.

She sowly picked her head up and turned her body on his lap and looked at the TV. "When is it suppose to happen?" She asked him.

"Three years ago, but you know they found some good evidence that it was a guy my mom worked with." He rolled his eyes and then stroked her hair.

"Wait what i dont get it." She said turning at looking up at him.

"It has been a long case, and I don't know much about it, but some guy had motive and a knife and now all of a sudden it was him." He said dryly.
