"What a waste of gas…" Joseph mumbled as he drove around town. The sun was beginning to set, and the neon lights of buildings were beginning to make his plain old town look more alive in the night. Summer was ending, and he knew it wouldn't be long before all the girls in his graduating class would be going off to college. He had spent the last two hours looking for a group of girls to take his chance on. Every damn group he had come across would either just snicker and snub him, or have a guy glaring at him to back off.
Just as he was about to cut his losses for the next hour or so, the sight of a little beetle with its windows rolled down caught his attention. From what he saw, inside was a group of girls giggling. A smirk crept up on Joseph's face. Perhaps he could convince just one of them to spend the night with him.
Pulling up beside the car at the red light they were parked at, Joseph noisily revved his engine a few times to grab their attention. "Lovely night, isn't it? Are you from around here?" Joseph called out to a girl sitting on the passenger side. Of course she was from around here, he had seen this chick around the school. What was her name again…? Nancy or something? Still, he tried to make small talk in hopes of attracting her. "We could take a spin around town together. Whaddya say?" He offered, flashing a grin.
The girl just bashfully smiled at him before turning to whisper to her friends for a moment. "We're going up to the drive-in to meet with some friends! Sorry~" She apologized, though it wasn't too difficult to see that she didn't care. For a moment, he could faintly hear someone in the backseat protesting to go with him. "Ah, my sister said she'd go with you!"
At this point, Joseph was desperate for company. His search for a companion for the night wasn't going too well, so any girl would do at this point. "Yeah, sure! Sister, mom, aunt… Doesn't matter to me. I'll take what I can get." He replied.
Pulling over to the side of the road, he could hear the door of the beetle opening and closing. Joseph wasn't too worried, that when a young girl entered his car, he had to stare for a moment to process things. "What the hell? How old are you?" Joseph immediately questioned. "Hey! You didn't tell me that you'd be leaving me with a little-" Before he could voice out his entire protest, the beetle was long gone. Alone in the car with some kid, Joseph was absolutely stunned. This wasn't how he planned on spending his night!
