ktkakes: Haha yeah, I just love Mush cuz, well first of all, he's really hot lol, but also, he's really just a nice guy, yah no? The fact that you're excited makes me really excited, too. I'm like YAY!!!!!
Wrink Likes: Yep. A lot of these characters are influenced by people in my life. Take a lucky guess who Connie and Hazel are lmao. Also, as you'll see in this chapter, their Chinese food takes the place of u, me, and Dreamer's McD&Coffee. What the hell, maybe I'll have them take a trip to the land of pyramids and trash and have run in with the cops. Muahahahah. I'll do that in Junior year maybe:D tooshay.

I spent the next few weeks trying to get Mush's attention, but never quite managing it. I mean, sure, there were those sidelong glances sometimes and, like, sometimes I'd look up and he'd be looking at me, but he was Mush Meyers. He probably looked at all girls like that. One particular day, when I was-as usual-trying to get Mush to notice me someone bumped into me and knocked the three books-The Norton Anthology of American Literature : Shorter Version bye Nina Baym, Eastern Philosophy : The Greatest Thinkers and Sages from Ancient to Modern Times by Kevin Burns, and Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card-that I was holding out of my hands. We both bent down to pick them up and when I looked up I found myself looking at Squirt. We kept bumping into each other all over campus. This time, though, she asked me if I wanted to go for lunch together.
"Sure, where to?"
"Well there's this little Chinese place on the corner-?"
"I love Chinese food!"
"Same! And I'm bored of all that Mess Hall food."
"It tastes like cardboard, on Wednesdays," we said in unison. We both laughed. Arm in arm, we walked out of the school and down the street. My first friend at Thorpe.
