Me: *going into kitchen* Hey, Ellie. Whatcha makin'?
Eleanor: Milkshakes. Why?
Me: Just askin'. I'm gonna head to the store. You need anything?
Eleanor: Nope.
Me: Alright, I'm off.
Eleanor: See you when you get back.
Me: *walks out of house, onto street*
Random dude from school: Hey, I hope your boyfriend's not gonna kill you if I have this. *holds up picture of me and my crush (not Simon)*
Me: HEY! Get back here with that!
Random dude: *runs, drops picture*
Me: *grabs dude's collar* Who gave this to you?
Random dude: My boy, Alvin.
Me: *growls, drops dude* I should've known. *walks to store*
~Five Minutes Later~
Me: I'm back, you guys.
Alvin: Finally! Let's eat!
Me: Eleanor, can I talk to you for a minute?
Theodore: She's busy right now. May I take a message?
Me: *laughs* Theo, what's with the answering machine bit?
Theodore: Sorry, it's just that Eleanor found out those photos had leaked to the entire school, and-
Me: It's Alvin. I was talking to some dude from school, and that's how I found out... What's she doing?
Theodore: Giving Alvin a taste of his own medicine.
Me: I like your way of thinking. *sits next to Jeanette* How was your day?
Jeanette: Full of Nathan stealing my lunch money and things of that nature, as usual.
Me: That sucks.
Jeanette: Yeah, and the worst part is: Nathan almost ended up throwing me in a locker.
Me: You're so lucky you dodged that bullet.
Simon: *holding milkshakes* Hello, ladies.
Me: Hi, Simon.
Jeanette: Hi.
Simon: Okay, strawberry for you *hands milkshake to Jeanette* and chocolate for you *hands milkshake to me*.
Alvin: Hey, Si... I think my shake's evaporating.
Me: Wow, such a sophisticated word you just used there, Alvin.
Brittany: *laughs* Yeah, where'd you learn that, Alvin?
Alvin: FYI, I already knew that word, princess. *sees cup leaking and drink spilling all over his shirt* Oh, s**t!
Me: *laughs with everyone else*
Alvin: Okay, who rigged my drink to leak?
*No one says anything.*
Alvin: *to Simon* She found out about the Nelson thing, didn't she?
Simon: *pours rest of his milkshake on Alvin's head* What was your first clue?
Alvin: *pouts* You win this round, Ally, but I promise you... this isn't the end. *looks at shirt* I'm gonna go change.
Me: You go do that, Alvin. We'll be here. *smirks* Somebody put it on MythBusters before he comes back.
Jeanette: On it.
Me: I love you, Ellie.
Eleanor: Don't you always?
Me: Of course. Just never in that way.
Eleanor: Right... So, what are we doing tomorrow?
Me: I don't know. Just savor this moment before it's gone.
Eleanor: Yeah, you're right. *sees Alvin walk downstairs* Well, so much for that.
Me: Yeah. Well, let's just ignore him. I'm sure he won't mind it.
Alvin: I can hear you!
Me: Too bad!
Eleanor: I thought you said ignore him.
Me: Screw that. Let's just watch TV.
Eleanor: Done. *sits next to me on floor*
