Awkward

Part I: Jimena

Jimena hated Serena just then. She didn't care if the girl sitting across from her at the table in the poorly (or "romantically" as they liked to call it) lit restaurant was her best friend or not. She really, truly hated her.

But unfortunately for this particular homegirl/come-to-earth-deity, Serena had been wise enough to convince Jimena to this horrible plot of hers by saying how important it was to her that they could all be friends, thereby invoking Rule #7, Section 3b, line two of the Girl Code: Thou shalt not take your anger at having to deal with your friend's boyfriend on said friend when said friend wants you to be friends. So, it seemed, Jimena would just have to take it out on him.

"So," Serena attempted yet another initiation of conversation between the four "friends." "The waves were pretty awesome today, right?"

Jimena nodded in the afirmative, never taking her eyes off of Stanton. She hated him. Loathed him really. She continued her glare as the conversation once again fell flat.

Silence reigned.

"So," Serena began again, "Jimena was telling me earlier about this really hilarious thing that happened at school today. Tell the guys, Jimena."

"A bitch I don't like fell on her ass – ha. ha."

Serena gave an awkward chuckle. "She told it much better earlier," she assured their dates.

Silence reigned again. And Jimena's glare never left Stanton. "I hate you," she thought, not even caring to attempt to block him out of her mind – she doubted he would be surprised.

"So..." Serena sighed. "Nevermind."

"Go curl up and die somewhere." But seeing as he couldn't do that, Jimena would just have to deal with making him as awkward as hell.
