This is what I wrote:
"Hey Adrian, c'mon. We gotta get back into the restaurant before we lose our table! She's fine, don't worry about her!" said Charlie. I shook my head and grumbled something incoherent, shoving my hands impossibly deeper into my pants' pockets. Charlie just shook his head and walked on to catch up with the others without a second glance back at me. I didn't mind though, considering the fact that I wasn't in any hurry because I wasn't hungry and I don't mind being alone. I actually prefer it sometimes to the riffraff and loud noise of people.
I thought, for a moment, about going back to the car to make sure that that girl was still safe, but decided against it with the thought that she might think I was some sleeze-bag too. And I partly didn't want to see her agan, to be honest. When I looked at her, I felt this tug, this pull towards her, like I was caught in some gravitational force she had surrounding her. And it unsettled me.
Normally, I was good at keeping my temper under control and I didn't have any issues with stay clalm, but when I had seen those guys bothering....whoever she was, I ran out the door before I could think and my friends had to run to catch up. Sure, all I could do was just scare the guys into going away, but still...
I thought about my sister's upcoming wedding and the jackass she was going to marry in hopes that it would keep my minds from the girl in the car. But every few minutes, my thoughts began to wander, and I thought of the way her eyes had been all wide and kind of scared, her hair and the way that her hair feel across her shoulders like water. Honestly, it was starting to annoy me because I hadn't tought about any girl other than my sister since Stacey, and I didn't even know this girl!
Throwing the door open, I braced myself as the loud chatter of people I didn't know bombarded my ears, and I joined my friends just as the hostess smiled and walked away to bring us to our table. I sighed and looked out the window, searching for the car before I caught myself and quickly looked back down at the dust-covered floor. I sighed and hurried on to catch up with my friends. Didn't even matter though, since the car was gone, and I found myself a little sad at the thought of that. Then, of course, I gave myself a mental slap for being so stupid and shook my head, almost running over a cute little girl as I did so.
"Get ahold of yourself, Adrian!" I thought, "You're not acting like yourself, and the whole point of you agreeing to go out with your friends was so that you could get your mind off of Sir-I-Think-I'm-The-Best-Thing-To-Ever-Exist and your sister's unfortunate engagement to this man. Relax. And enjoy yourself!"
But.....she seemed so familiar. And so...sad. Had I seen her somewhere before?
