AUTHOR'S NOTE- I'm updating this randomly, so I apologize if a chapter's posted a month later than the rest.
Wyatt nearly fell out of his chair.
"Marlowe, you scared me half to death!" Wyatt yelled at her. Marlowe just smiled.
"But she really is a bitch. She's crazy, too, wearing all those costumes around the mall." Wyatt looked at Marlowe for a minute. There was something there… She sounded almost bitter. Her jaw looked tight and her eyes seemed to hold some fire. He decided to ask later. For now, break time!
~~~
Wyatt sprinted towards the Big Squeeze (well, as fast as he could- Ron would drag him to "jail" if he really ran.) He was still panting a bit by the time he got there. Luckily, the whole gang was there by the time he made it.
"Cute girl… New job… Think I have…. A crush!" Wyatt got out. Caitlin squealed and clapped her hands. She got out of her Lemon and forced him into a seat near hers (seeing as how Jen was in the seat next to him.)
"How did this happen?!" Caitlin squealed excitedly. Wyatt panted for a few seconds before speaking a bit more normally.
"Marlowe got me a job at her job. The girl came up in a Mulan costume and bought a whole bunch of CDs. WE talked for a bit and she seemed so sweet and kind."
You could hear a few aww's go around the group.
"Then Marlowe called her a bitch."
The aww's stopped and you could hear Jen gasp.
"How could she be that bad that Marlowe would call her that?" Jen practically screeched. Wyatt just shrugged in response.
"I don't know. I'm not the person to ask about that. We should really ask Marlowe."
And that they did.
"I don't hate her if that's what you're asking," Marlowe stated.
"Buy you're upset with her for something," Jen fired back. Marlowe was taken back a bit.
"Yes. She took something that belonged to me. I want it back. She refuses to give it to me."
"Oh, I'm so sure you're telling the truth," Jen said sarcastically. Marlowe stared at her in shock.
"Jen, calm down," Nikki chided. Jen took a deep breath.
"Look, we just want to know why you're so angry with this Naminé chick," Jonesy stated.
"I'm not angry!" Marlowe yelled as she slammed some CDs on the counter. Wyatt stepped up to her.
"Yes, you are. Otherwise, your jaw wouldn't be so clenched."
Marlowe sighed and said, "Fine. I'll tell you what happened. She-"
"DUUU-HU-HUUUUUUDE!" Jude yelled. Marlowe and the gang looked up to see Jude skate boarding- NAKED.
"GOOD LORD, JUDE! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Jonesy yelled. Jude just laughed as he tried to dismount his board. Upon doing so, Jude missed the catch of the board and ended up smacking himself in the face. He fell down onto his butt.
"Ouch!" Jude moaned. "My new tattoo's only a week old! I have got to have busted skin on that landing." Jude went to stand up when the gang yelled. Jude sat on the ground while Wyatt ran to grab Jude some extra clothes and bandages in case his tattoo scabs really had broken a bit.
"Jude, what were you doing?!" Nikki yelled.
"Well, while I was cleaning the zamboni, someone decided to take this really strong vacuum and thought I looked dirty. It was a test vacuum, so it was a work in progress. So I let him clean me, but he got my clothes even more filthy because it was on blow. When he went to turn it to suck, it went up too high, and it took my clothes. The rest is a bit of a blur, though." Jonesy blinked then busted out laughing.
"Jude!" He managed out as he started their handshake.
"Dude~" Jude laughed back. Wyatt came back with some clothes and dragged Jude to the back room to change. Luckily, his tattoo area was fine.
"All right, so, Marlowe-"
"BREAK TIME!" Marlowe called back to him and left for her break.
"And Naminé's the bitch," Nikki said loudly.
Wyatt sighed and said softly, "So what now?" Nikki looked around the spotted and spotted someone dressed up.
"Let's ask her," Nikki said as she pointed to Naminé.
"It's our best bet- the second source of all the drama." Jen agreed. Wyatt sighed, but nodded.
He wanted answers, and if Marlowe was going to ignore the situation, then he'd ask someone who mostly likely knew why Marlowe was being a bitch.
