Deciding it would be best to take your mind off things with a drink, you pull into the road by the bar and park up. As you enter the bar, you automatically look around, to see if there's anyone you recognise. No-one. You feel a small pang of disappointment, and consider calling one of your friends to meet them. Deciding against this, you resolve to have a quiet drink on your own.
You sit at the bar, feeling like one of those barflies that you would pity, seeing them sitting alone. You don't mind it though. Running out of Tora's has given you enough excitement for one night as it is!
"Are you Ross?" You're startled to hear a voice next to you. Turning to the side, you see a very attractive, athletic-looking girl with long brown hair. She looks familiar but you can't think from where.
"Yeah..." you reply. "Do I know you...?" You feel a bit uncomfortable by the fact that this girl knows you more than you do her.
"Ha! High School seem that long ago, huh?!" The girl grins at you, shaking her head a little. Of course - Charlotte! She was one of the most popular girls in school and one of Tora's closest friends. She was so far out of your league then, and - speaking frankly - still is now!
"Oh, hi!" You give her an awkward smile and start feeling anxious; what does Tora's friend want?
"I thought it was you. I'm a little surprised though; Tora told me that you were going to meet up tonight. Is she meeting you here?"
"No, not here..." you answer awkwardly, not really sure of what to say. As soon as Charlotte mentioned Tora, you had a horrible feeling that she too may know about your secret...what if Tora told all of her friends?
Charlotte frowns at you. "So where is she? I thought you'd be at hers right now." She stares expectantly at you.
"Look," you finally begin. "I did see Tora but it was only briefly. We caught up quickly and that was it." You try to sound casual.
"Really? She told me...I mean, I thought after she spoke to you, you'd be with her for the evening at least." A playful smile spreads on Charlotte's face.
"What do you mean?" You decide to press on this, a little desperate to see if Tora has actually told her anything about your secret.
"It's OK, Ross. I know. I mean, we all thought there must have been something about you. No offence," Charlotte looks a little awkward by her rather blunt words.
"Er, you know...I mean what do you know?" You babble.
"Do I have to say it, Ross? Fine - you have a foot fetish," Charlotte giggles slightly.
"Ssh!" You are desperate to make sure no-one else can hear.
"Relax! It's not a problem. I just thought that after her meeting with you, you'd have a bit of...catching up to do. No offence, again!"
You can't believe that Tora has told her friends, and that one of them is here! You stay silent, unsure of what to say.
"Anyway...." Charlotte looks awkward again after your silence. "I'm out with some friends tonight," the gorgeous brunette motions with a nod to a table where a group of girls are sitting. "You're welcome to join us if you want?"
