11. Minutes Past 4, The Sub Coffee House After School.

"So, Ginger! When's the party?!"

I paused. So she'd heard about that, huh? It's ridicules how fast the In Crowd's happenings become public knowledge. I sighed. Then Scold myself, hey, she was bound to hear about it sooner or later, after all, I was the one who let her hang with us.

"Umm, Dunno Yet" This Friday." You know, the parents are being a bit weird about his whole this, 'l be a miracle if it actually goes ahead"

She nod's sympathetically. My mum was great about it, she even offered to take carl away for the weekend. But like, my house is my sanctuary, ya know? And course i llooovve all my friends, who wouldn't, they rock. But my house, you know I don't really want it open and on display. Who's knows what uber gross things my moron of a little brother has got around that place. So I called up dad, who only really lives on the other side of town, and he was totally cool with the whole thing, course, like the swimming pool and tub kinda helps!

"So like, if it ever happens, sure you can come"

She went quite and looked at her feet, did she know I was totally freezing her? Well I'm sorry but she's never seemed to notice before. For a freshman I'm pretty cool, welll someone has to be. And like, of course I don't mind being charitable to my fellow students, but next year I'll be softmore, gotta think of my rep.

"Gotta go"

"Uhuh" I didn't look up from my magazine and frap.

"You know, my mum needs me"

"That's way cool"

"And gotta get that esignmate done for Monday"

"Great" Flick flick, sip sip.

"So I'll like, see you...soon, Ginger?"

"Okay then" Still here?

"We'll I'll call you tonight. It's Friday..." Her voice was trailing "...afterall"

"K.bye Dodie"

"God ginger, she's still hanging round?" George Slipped into the chair opposite. He had finished basketball practice and had come to meet me.

"Umm, Ya" I didn't look up then either. Embarsed at the way I was acting.

"I know, it's like having a wannabe ruining our cred, but, you know, she isn't really "WITH US" and is it my fault she cant take a hint?"

"Nah, I think your totally sweet for trying to help her out. It's like, really charitable of you" I seem to miss the Sarcasm in his voice..

I gave him the biggest smile.

I love how we think the same.

Before I realised that he's making fun of me. Sometimes he has ago at me for being...shallow? I dunno. He should just learn to STFU sometimes.

"So ya gonna show me how sweet you can really be?!"

I snapped back

"George!" I slap him. Only half playfully.

"Come on ginge, were like, practically going out, when you going to give it me?" He was only half teasing. He smiled, mockingly, but I knew he was serious, if only a bit.

I got up, putting on my coat, and pushing in my chair

"What makes you think your even in the running?"

I got up and left. Of course he followed. He sped in front then turned around to block my way,

"Ginjar, babe, I'm the only one you can stand"

I laughed and he lent in, holding my hips and kissing me.
