T.J. POV

She took my girlfriend away from me… again! I guess Ryn doesn't do it too often, so I suppose it's okay. She is her best friend after all. I really don't think that Maria minds it much, she's a go with the flow person most of the time. If she doesn't come back soon, I'll go and get her.

"Hey, T.J! What's up?" Annie asks me as she walks up next to me.

"Not much, what up with you?" I ask as I quickly glance at Maria and then focus back on the conversations going on around me.

"Just waiting for halftime. Where's Maria?"

"Ryn took her, and I don't think that she'll be back for a while."

Annie laughs and says, "I guess you'll just have to be patient and wait for Ryn to let her go, or you could go and kidnap her back."

I smile, "Or I could just go and join them. It'd feel good to sit anyways, my legs are tired; I've been standing the whole game." I make my way to the bleachers and go to join Maria and Ryn who are having "girl talk."

"Go away, T.J!" Ryn yells at me; I ignore her and sit next to Maria taking her hand. Ryn hits me and then carries on with her conversation. Ryn is venting about how her life is, and I just block her out and watch the game. We're losing badly, as usual. The opposing team is up by 7 points right now, and our team already looks exhausted. Turning my attention back to the girls sitting next to me, I realize that Ryn is done venting and Annie is calling for Maria now.

"Just a second!" Maria holds up her left index finger and looks at me. "Ready to head back that way?"

"Sure!" I exclaim.

"Ryn, I'll see you later. Remember, I'm right there if you need more of your Maria Minutes, okay?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Bye!" Maria and I both say as we head back towards Annie. Man, 'Ria has a crazy life! Someone is almost always calling her name because they need to talk to her about something. She's a great listener, and doesn't get mad or upset in front of people very often, so a lot of her friends go to her when they have problems.

"Hey! What's up?" Maria asks as we stand next to Annie.

"Hey, guys! Not much is up, I was just wanting some advise from you, Maria." Annie says, "T.J. you can add in your own opinion if you want to."

"Okay." we both say in unison. Annie goes on to explain a boy problem that she has and Maria and I listen intently. Annie had a little red flag going up that Casey was talking to another girl and said that if things didn't work out between him and Annie, he would go out with her; but, she wasn't exactly sure if he had really said that or not.

"So, what do you think I should do?" Annie asked quietly.

"Well, I would wait and see if you get more clues to whether he really is talking to another girl or not. It could just be a misunderstanding. But, do what you feel is right. I don't know Casey really at all, so do what you feel needs to be done. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it though." Maria said and I nodded my head in agreement. It may not have been the best advise, but it was better than I could have done.

"Thanks!" Annie exclaimed as she answered a text message most likely from Casey. "I don't know what I'll do, but thanks."

"You're welcome!" Maria said sweetly as she looked at the scoreboard. "Wow, it's almost time for…."

"Start getting your uniforms back on!" Mr. Rodd interrupted her. "Then go and head out to the parking lot, It's almost halftime!"
