" - You," A voice cuts through ht?"

I look up A blurry Jack hovers over racefully vomit on his shoes

It takesin front of my mortal enemy to realize he’s helpedoff of isn’t a curb but the passenger side of his black sedan He sits in the driver’s seat and taps on his phone the entire ti, he looks up

"Are you done?" He asks

I immediately try to bolt out of the car and run to my own so I can shove my head into the exhaust pipe and mercifully die, but he pulls my shirt and yanks me back in

"Just let me die!" I wail

"Not quite yet I have uses for you"

"You’re so creepy! You’re so creepy and I’ in this conceivable universe!"

I’ll get you open, I swear I will, or I won’t and then I’ll be captured by extraterrestrials and, well, it was nice knowing you but really I think whoever invented youa fabulous teenage girl in their car into consideration -"

Jack takes a sharp left turn and the ainst theI quickly putyou on a date"

I i Jack hs

"It’s your first date, right?"

"Uh, yes? But, you don’t really have to do that? Considering it’s not so you want to do? And I don’t really need one, or like, even really want one? Dates are for people in love and that’s never going to happen for ain so I really don’t think it’s necessary –"
