“Are you kidding me? Wait, which ex?”

“Caitlin; the pathological liar.”

“Wow, what a douche. Seriously, if he’s that stupid to get back with that chick there’s something wrong with him.” Ashley said trying to comfort her cousin.

“Yeah…maybe. It just sucks you know? Like…hardcore sucks.”

Spencer felt bad for the new girl, sensing how much Ashley cared for her she tried to comfort her as well.

“He’s just one guy Jessi. You seem like a really great girl, you can do better.”

“I know he’s just one guy, but I still love him. That’s the sucky part. But whatever, I’m gonna get over him, I have to. There’s no point in spending the rest of my life wanting something that obviously wasn’t meant to last.”

“Good. So who’s hungry, cause I know that I am personally starving.” Ashley said trying to get the topic off failed romances.

“I am.” The rest of the group answered.

“Do you guys wanna go out to eat? I don’t think administration would like it if a 20 something was hanging around school grounds and I’d really like to get to know more about the two new people in my cous’s life. I’ll even buy.”

“Oh I’m so in! Anything to get out of this hell hole. What about you Spence?”

“I don’t know Ash…I have that quiz in history I was so looking forward to…”

“Ah, I see you snagged a sarcastic one Ash, I like her. What about you two?” Jessi asked of Kyla and Aiden who looked as though they were ready and rarin.

“For sure! I wanna catch up. What about you babe?” Aiden nudged Kyla a bit.

“Definitely. It’s too gorgeous out to be locked up here.” She said grinning.

“BALLIN! Let’s roll! Ready break.” Jessi exclaimed as she took off for the parking lot.

The group followed the chipper girl and piled into her Honda Civic.

“So where we headed kids?”

“Dairy queen.”
“McDonalds.”
“Burger King.”
“In N Out.”

All the replies came at once.

“Riiiight. Jimmy John’s it is!” Jessi said rolling her eyes.

“What’s Jimmy John’s?” Kyla asked from the backseat.

“Are you KIDDING me?!” Jessi replied whipping her head around to stare at the Baltimore native with wide eyes and mouth agape.

“Oh god…here we go…” Ashley mumbled while slipping lower in her seat.

“What? What’s the big deal?” Spencer asked.

Jessi looked at Spencer, then back at Kyla, then back to Spencer with the same wide eyed, mouth agaped look she’d been wearing for the past minute. Kyla and Spencer looked at each other and shrugged.

“Jimmy John’s is only THE greatest sub place EVER! EVER! Do you understand? EVER! Their subs are like…orgasmic! It’s insane how good they are. Oh my god…Ash, where’s the nearest Jimmy John’s? We’re taking these kids, NOW!”

Ashley looked over to her over enthused, sub loving cousin and frowned.

“Sorry Jess, there isn’t one in L.A.”

“What is this world coming to?! That’s it. Screw college, I’m opening up a Jimmy John’s here. This is ridiculous. But since we can’t go there today, Subway it is.” The eldest girl said as she turned back to face the steering wheel and started the car.

“Subway, eat fresh!” Aiden sang happily.

“Thank you Aiden, jingle singer extraordinaire.” Ashley said, earning laughs from all the females.

Jessi put the car in reverse and burned rubber out of the parking lot. And off to Subway they went!
