Sometimes you're just hungry late at night. Fortunately, there was a truck stop not far from our campus where you could get a bite in the middle of the night.
My roommate John and I piled into his car and headed out to grab some food. It was Friday turning into Saturday, so there would be no classes to attend in the morning.
We found our way to a little place just outside of town. It was open all night and the food was pretty good. We came in and sat at our usual table.
That's when we noticed a couple of cute girls. They seemed to be looking our way. Their hair was up and their dresses were long and very modest. I made eye contact with the dark haired one. She grinned and looked down.
"Those girls are cute," I said offhandedly to John.
"Yeah, they are."
"I think they're looking at us."
"Maybe they caught us looking at them," John said. We picked up our food and our pitcher of beer and walked over to them.
"Hi," I said. "Mind if we join you?" The girls giggled.
"We don't mind, do we sister?" said the blonde-haired one.
The dark-haired sister shook her head. She smiled a very pretty smile. "My name is Katie. This is my sister Esther." John and I introduced ourselves. The sisters exchanged glances.
"What are you having?" John asked.
"We thought we might try the pizza," said the light-haired sister. "Is it good?"
"Yeah, very good."
"Then that's what we want," said Esther, smiling at John. "Right, Katie?"
Katie licked her lips. "Uh huh. That's definitely what we want." She smiled. Katie had a very pretty smile.
"Where are you girls from?" asked John.
"Down by Camden," said Esther. John and I looked at each other. "Down by Camden" was the Amish part of the county.
"Down by Camden?" I asked. "Are you Amish?"
"Yes," said Katie, flashing that pretty smile. "We're on Rumspringa."
"Rumspringa?"
"Yes, it's a time of running around, living in the world, to see if we like the worldly ways or the Amish ways." John and I just looked at each other.
"Have you tried beer?' he asked.
"No," said Esther, "we don't drink."
