mike huffed, walking quickly down to the town square. his day was not going great already, chloe had aggravated him instead of the other way around. today it was supposed to be their day, he'd told her in advance that he had plans for today and you know what she did?
when mike got to her house chloe told him that she invited some of her friend along with them. when mike said, "chloe, i already told you we had plans for today" she simply said: i didn't know, i completely forgot.
at that point mike was already really unhappy, he just needed to leave her alone and talk to someone he knew would listen. el.
mike had been to the cliffhouse diner a few times every week, the food was really good there and he liked talking to el and dustin. they were the friends he never knew he needed. dustin was funny and always made mike laugh, and el, well she was just a great listener, plus she always had great advice. mike now knew what times the diner was crowded and when it had barely any customers.
it was 11:30 and mike knew for certain that the diner would be empty and el would just be cleaning something or sitting in her favorite booth. mike got there quickly and opened the door in a rush, the small bell rang above his head as he walked in. el was behind the counter drying some milkshake glasses and looked up and saw mike.
she put down the glass and smiled at him but soon noticed the distraught look on his face. "oh no, what'd she do now?" mike sat down on the red swivel chair and slouched back. "she just- sometimes she makes me so mad." mike groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "well tell me what happened!" el said eagerly, she loved helping him with his girl problems.
"well we were supposed to hang out today, just her and i. i had the whole thing planned out and when i got to her house she said she invited her friends to come along. and she knew, she knew i had the whole day planned out and then she claimed she forgot!" as mike explained his problem el studied his face, she liked to watch how his eyes expressed everything that he was saying.
"okay." said el. mike furrowed his eyebrows at her. el tried to think but she needed more time to think about it. "want a milkshake?"
"sure." el nodded and turned to start making his strawberry milkshake. el could just tell him to dump chloe because of all the things he'd complained to her about but she knew he loved her too much to do that. as she was making his milkshake the bell from the front door chimed quickly.
"if it isn't my favorite duo!" el already knew who it was without turning around. "hey dustin. want a milkshake?" el asked as she was just finishing mike's. "you know the answer." el nodded and gave mike's his and started on dustin's. "what's your girl problem this week mikey boy?"
mike shrugged and drank his milkshake quietly, "silent treatment okay... el? what happened to him this time?"
"chloe blew his plans over for someone else." el said shortly as she handed dustin his milkshake. dustin frowned, "let the professional help you with this one. i'd say dump her ass because you've come here literally every week because she's done something new-"
