[ need a ride? ]
   character(s): cha eunwoo/lee dongmin    genre: who tf knows but it swears a lil    word count: 1293    a/n: here’s scenario number two.  this one is way longer, and unedited.  i hope you guys like it!  i’m sorry i made you all wait so long, i just got really overwhelmed with school.  again, if you have any requests, just hit up my ask box! :)
   You jolted in your seat when the final bell of the school day rang its shrill siren at three.  History was your last class, least favorite subject, and your worst grade.  The end of the school year was approaching at an alarmingly fast rate, and though your GPA was more than acceptable, senior year was coming to a close, and your motivation to put forth any effort into history might as well have been nonexistent.
   Scrambling to put your notebook, worksheets, textbook, pencil, and pens into your backpack so you could run out of school as fast as possible, you only paid slight attention to your teacher long enough to memorize the assignment for tonight, and remember the date of the next unit exam.  Once you gathered all your things, you hoisted your 25 pound backpack over your shoulders and walked out of your classroom, meeting your friend Julia at her locker.
     “Jules, you ready?” you asked her.  
   Julia turned around after grabbing her sweater and greeted you with a warm smile.  Julia had been your best friend ever since sophomore year when she was the new kid in school and you were assigned to show her around the first day.  As it turned out, you both had the same humor, and she was a history buff but struggled in math, whereas math was your strongest subject and it was no secret you didn’t have an affinity for history.  It seemed pretty simple to you guys: you would help her with math, and she’d teach you everything she knew about history.
   “Yeah, let’s head out.  I have two pages worth of calc today, and I need all the time and work I can get or I am all the way fucked,” Julia chuckled.  “And,” she added, “Mr. Cook’s dropping the exam from Hell next Tuesday--can’t wait to take a 75 question test complete with five short answers on Henry VIII and his little scuffle with the Catholic church!”
   You snorted.  “Shut up Julia.  You have a 97 in that class and you’re guaranteed an A on the exam.  I’m the one that needs help or my ass is grass.”
   Laughing, Julia agreed.  “That’s true.  Without me, you woulda been toast years ago!”
   “Without me, your A- in precalc last year would’ve been a D so keep on laughing,” you jibed back, snickering.
   “That’s very true.  Sad, but true.  Anyways, I think it’s time we start walking.  The café will be full and we’ll have nowhere to sit and attempt to get our shit done if we get there any later than 3:15.”
   Nodding your head in agreement, you and Julia walked side by side through the hallway and out the doors of your school.  Strolling on the sidewalk, you finally arrived at La Fleur Cafe, where you and Julia went after school almost every day to study.  
   Opening the doors of the café, Julia checked her watch.  “3:12.  Y/N, knock knock.”
   You let out an exaggerated sigh as you played along.  “Who’s there.”
   “Justin.”
   “Justin who?”
   Julia was already laughing.  “We are Justin time to beat the after school rush!”
   You started scanning the menu, trying to decide on what you were going to order.  “Julia?”
   “Yeah?”
   “That was disgusting and I hope my ears bleed before I ever have to hear that joke ever again,” you deadpanned.
   “Fair enough,” she replied.  
   The pair of you ordered your drinks and proceeded to sit down at a booth.  A waiter came over and gave you your drinks.  You gave him a quick thanks and pulled out your homework.
   Three hours had passed, and it was 6:20 pm.  Julia had finished all of her calc homework, and you were feeling more confident about Henry VIII and his marriage issues and were ready to take on the next week’s test.  
   “Gotta go, Y/N.  Mom’s gonna go nuts if I don’t get home by dinner.”
   “Alright, see you on Monday, Julia!”
   “Bye!”        And then you were alone.  Feeling Julia’s absence, you thought you would run through your notes a couple more times, just to get the information on lock.  As you picked up the notes from today’s lecture, the cute bell that signalled a customer entering the store chimed.  You looked up and saw a beautiful boy walking in.  Trying to stare at him as inconspicuously as possible, you recognized him as the intelligent and kind boy from your physics class who usually kept to himself, Eunwoo.  He was the epitome of true beauty, and everybody knew it.  He had a pearly white smile with perfectly straight teeth, like the ones that look fake in the toothpaste commercials.  Shiny black hair topped his head, and his skin was something straight out of makeup magazines.  His eyes glowed with a pureness about them.  Models would be jealous of his slim, yet muscular and tall figure.  In other words, he was human perfection.  
   Eunwoo walked to the counter to order.  “Hi! Can I get a medium caramel macchiato with coconut milk please?”
   “Of course.”  Eunwoo nodded his head and smiled in thanks, and turned around.  You definitely weren’t as inconspicuous as you thought because Eunwoo walked right toward you and sat down in your booth.  
   Not knowing what to do or say, you just stared at him.
   “Uhhh…” was all you got out.
   “What’s up?” Eunwoo began the conversation.
   “Not to be rude, but like...we barely know each other.  Why are you, you know,” you paused as you waved your arm in front of you, “sitting here?”    
   Eunwoo giggled.  “I know that your name is Y/N.  I know you’re in my fourth hour physics class.  I know you looked pretty lonely just sitting at this booth alone.  So, here I am.”
   The same waiter from earlier came over and handed Eunwoo his macchiato.“You’re still here?” he asked.  “You’ve been here for three, almost four hours now.  We close at 7:30, and it’s 6:45 right now.”
   Eunwoo just looked at you.  “Yeah,” you replied.  “I’ve just been uber focused on my homework.  I’ll be gone soon.”        The waiter walked away.  You looked back at Eunwoo.  For about a minute, neither of you said anything as you just stared at each other.  You were hoping it didn’t feel as awkward to him as it felt to you.  Then, your phone vibrated with a text from your mom telling you to come home.  
   “Oh shit!” you exclaimed.  Your mom wanted you home by 7:00 at the latest, and the café was at least a 20 minute walk from your house.  You didn’t have a car, so usually Julia was your method of transportation, but you generally left when she needed to leave.  Since you stayed behind, you didn’t have Julia to drive you.  “I gotta go!”
   You shoved your study gear into your backpack, hopped out of the booth, and ran towards the door.  
   “Wait!” Eunwoo yelled.  “Where are you going?”
   “I’m gonna be so late going home!  I really have to go!”
   Eunwoo stood up with keys dangling from his right hand.  “Need a ride?”
   You put your hand on the door and pushed, debating.  “That’d be great.”
   Eunwoo stood up and joined you, and then you two got in his car and drove off, you giving him directions.  
   “But, wait,” you started.  “You didn’t even take a sip of your macchiato, and it was like seven dollars!”
   Flashing his famous smile, Eunwoo said, “I guess so.  To make it up to me, let me take you out for coffee tomorrow.”
   He pulled into your driveway, and you hopped out.  Before you closed the passenger door, you smiled.  “Sounds like a plan to me.  Pick me up at three tomorrow.”
