Winter

Winter.

As if, he begun to think to himself. What are the chances that out of the entire campus of college kids, Winter was the one he would run into while trying to get a lift home.

The busty brunette had a hoodie on in the college colours. She had been here to support Ross, a senior footballer for the team. Although, he wasn’t anywhere near her so maybe she was just going home alone.

He watched as she walked quickly, presumably to get to her own car. This was going to be so awkward he thought, how could he go up to her like this and ask for a favour. What if she just straight up told him no.

Ahh fuck it, he thought to himself. Mark had to get back home, he couldn’t just wait around here with no phone as the weather got first. Deciding it was his only way home, Mark went up to her as she made her way to her Jeep.

“Hey! Uhh Winter!” he called out to her, forcing her to turn around to see her former lover right there, getting wet from the rain.

“Mark? What are you doing out here still?” she asked, surprised to see him.

“Long story. I was actually wondering if there was any chance I could get a lift back? I don’t have my car here and my phone’s kind of fucked,” he said, waving his broken phone in front of her.

Winter looked at him up and down. She appeared to be a little upset, possibly something with Ross. Giving in, she nodded, “Come on then, my car’s just over here.”

“Thank you, I really appreciate it,” Mark replied, absolutely stoked that he wouldn’t be stuck out here all night by himself.

“No problem,” she replied before the two of them walked to her car.

The only problem now was how awkward the drive back was going to be. The walk to the car seemed to set the tone. Besides some very little small talk, there was nothing much else but silence.

It was going to be a long awkward drive home.
