It's early in the morning, too early for my taste; especially because I caught a cold. We were camping in the zones and I refused to use a blanket, apparently my leather jacket wasn't enough.
Reluctantly, I drag myself out of the bed and slightly cringe as my warm feet make contact with the freezing cold floor.
I dragged myself into the main part of the diner where I find Crash Cola and Fun Ghoul (two of my best friends) sitting next to each other in a booth.
"Good morning Rose!" Crash Cola greats me. I give her a slight wave, considering that I've developed a terrible headache since I woke up.
"Still sick?" Ghoul asks, I nod, setting my head down on the table. I groan in pain.
"Curse my fucking headache" I mumble "Fuck you cold, fuck you."
"You know, the reason you aren't getting better might be because you haven't eaten for a few days" Ghoul suggests
"I think Ghoul is right, you need to eat something" Crash agrees.
"I'm sure as hell that if I eat anything, it's gonna come back up" I sigh.
"At least eat some Power Pup" Crash urges.
"No way! I mean, unless you want me to throw up" I say.
"Power Pup is not that bad. C'mon, eat some Rose" She pushes a can of the dog food in my direction.
"I refuse to eat it; it's the most disgusting thing in the world!" I state, crossing my arms like a child.
The sixteen year old across the table rolls her eyes at me.
"It's better than nothing, just eat some." Crash says. I shake my head from side to side trying to hold back a laugh but slightly failing.
"NEVAAARR!" I giggle.
"EAT IT ROSE, EAT IT NOW!" Crash laughs.
"Noooo!" You'll have to shove that shit down my throat before I decide to eat it!" I laugh back. My goofy smile soon disappears when I see the evil smirk on her face.
Before I know it, Crash is trying to shove a spoonful of Power Pup in my mouth.
I press my lips tightly together, turning my head to the side like a toddler refusing vegetables.
I can hear Ghoul laughing his head off, making it difficult for me to keep my lips sealed.
"Surrender!" Crash shouts. I shake my head, no.
"Aww, come on Rosie! Surrender to Crash Cola, you can't keep this up for long. You know you want to surrender!" Ghoul laughs.
"You must force me to surrender!!!" I shout.
I opened my mouth…. Opened my mouth
Oh shit.
Crash shoves a spoonful of Power Pup in my mouth, so deep that I swallow it without even thinking.
I sigh and after a few moments I snatch the can of dog food from her as well as a spoon.
Crash and Ghoul high five each other as they laugh in celebration of their victory.
"Shut up" I roll my eyes, but I can't help but smile.
