When my friends asked me to go see a local band at a bar two towns over, they failed to mention it was an all-ages show. And that somehow this local band has garnered a ton of sixteen-year-old screaming girls as fans.

And worst of all, that Big Foot and the Giraffe are also fans of said band.

I don’t know that they see each other right away, which is so freaking annoying because they should be together. They obviously deserve each other. If I tried to instill anything into those two in the four months that I was forced to be in their presence in class it was that they need to get their shit together and start dating. I mean, I don’t really care, but this crap is annoying.

I do my best to ignore them, hitting on this chick Lilla who my friends insist likes me even though every time I try to talk to her, she just laughs at me and walks away. Even when I’m not saying anything particularly funny.

About midway through the set, I go up to the bar. They’re not serving much of anything, no liquor or mixed drinks, but at least they have beer on tap. I’m not picky as long as it’s cold.

Just my luck though, I end up in line behind my archnemeses.

“That’s six bucks,” the bartender says to Big Foot.

“For a bottle of water?”

“Oh, I rang you and your girlfriend up together,” the guy says, gesturing toward the Giraffe. Even in the dim light I can see the Giraffe blush.

“Oh.” Big Foot starts digging deeper into his pockets and the Giraffe steps in.

“It’s cool,” she says. “I’ve got it.”

“You don’t…” Big Foot starts.

“I don’t mind,” the Giraffe says, smiling at him. “You can pay me back or something.”

I want to smack their foreheads together. Maybe that will wake them up. How can they both be so blind?

She pays and then hands him the overpriced bottle of water.

“You didn’t have to do that,” Big Foot mumbles.

“Or you could just say thank you,” Lea says, her face kind even if her words have a hint of snark to them.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” She turns and walks away.

Big Foot turns toward me, giving me a dirty look and pushing his way back to his friends.

At least he didn’t want to fight.

There’s no way I could have absorbed a kick from one of his massive feet.
