Marin collapsed onto her bed after a long day of school. The only reason why she had taken up that dumb stripper job was because it paid the best and she needed the money for her mom's surgery in a month. Her first night had been a pretty bad start for her. But now Ryan wanted nothing to do with her so she didn't want to bother calling or texting him anymore.

She slipped back into her club clothes and headed over to the club. Only two more weeks of this and she would have enough money to stop...

"So do I sound like her or what?"

Amanda was giggling at Katie's imitation of Marin's voice. "You sound just like her it's perfect. But he better not call"

The phone rang and Katie frowned. "It's him"

"I knew it" Amanda said annoyed. "Answer it"

"Hello?"

"Hey Marin. Look I think we should talk about all this. Does the strip club thing have anything to do with your mom?" Ryan begged to know.

Katie winked at Amanda. "No. This guy Henry who works at the club convinced me to do it."

"Henry? You mean you were cheating on me?"

"Um. Oh Ryan you're so naive. Henry is so much better at everything then you are" Katie responded.

"What the hell Marin? You know what go off with this dumb Henry guy. I've got Amanda." Ryan yelled.

"Fine I will" Katie said hanging up. She exploded into laughter. "That was hot"

Amanda nodded. "We won't have to worry about Marin again."

It was Monday morning, and the weekend had gone by so fast. The dance was coming up in a week and Amanda was hardly worried about getting asked out by Ryan. Reapplying her makeup she strutted into the school building.

She couldn't see Katie or Alexis anywhere which was a surprise seeing as they basically clung to her.

She took a seat in first period Calc and felt Chad tap her on the shoulder with his pen.

"I was with Ryan when he called Marin on Saturday. Apparently she'd been cheating on him."

Amanda giggled. "Oh well. He's mine now."

Ryan entered the class and sat down in front of Amanda. He didn't turn around to even speak to her.

Confused, but she let it go. She could hardly concentrate all class when finally the bell rang she tapped his shoulder, he ignored her and left the classroom.

She stormed after him. "Excuse me?" She demanded to know.

He spun around to face her. "I went to see Marin at the club last night, shouldn't that explain anything to you?"
