"…So even though I didn't win, Tommy and I still had a really good time." Kimi was thumping through a copy of Seventeen magazine the week after homecoming and listening to Lil explain the details of her unsuccessful night. It was so hard staying enemies with Lil. After their incident Lil kept blowing Kimi's phone up until finally Kimi listened to what she had to say, and Lil had redeemed herself. She was back into Kimi's good graces.

So what did Kimi do on homecoming weekend?

Her homecoming night happened to be awesome. The weekend started out great because she ended up having a date with Peter Bridges by Friday and homecoming night they were the hottest couple. Pete scored the winning touchdown and Kimi was the so-called hottest cheerleader. When the dance came around on Saturday it started off great because Kira and Chas had gone out on another date. Lil ended up losing the homecoming crown to Sari Buress and watching her exit the stage in tears was priceless. The night ended with Kimi and Pete making out in his car in her driveway and she would've invited him inside if Kira's bedroom light weren't on.

It was Sunday evening and on Monday they didn't have school, so Kimi was staying the night at Lil's place. Betty hadn't cooked dinner so she left Kimi, Phil, and Lil to fend for themselves. In fact, at that very moment Phil was downstairs hooking up a pizza putting their favorite toppings on it.

"Look at this girl," Kimi said in disgust, holding up the magazine and pointing at a tall and skinny blond wearing tight jeans and a low cut shirt. "She is absolutely too thin. What is she, anorexic? I never want to be that skinny." Before Lil could say anything Kimi slammed the magazine back down and turned the page. "I can't believe a magazine like Seventeen would even publish that. They must've made a mistake."

"I'm sure they did," Lil said quietly.

Then Kimi sighed. "That pizza smells so good downstairs," she said dreamily. She rolled on her back and then strained to look at Lil. "Girl, you do not know how hungry I am. That salad I ate did not fill me up at all." They both were quiet and then someone's stomach grumbled. Kimi looked at Lil and smiled. "Obviously you're hungry too."

Lil shook her head. "I'm not hungry. Sometimes my stomach just does that."

"Oh," Kimi said, although she hadn't even paid attention to what Lil said.

"You know what," Lil finally asked, in an attempt to change the subject.

"What?"

"Tommy is so hot."

Kimi rolled her eyes and forced a laugh. "He's such a loser because he's not doing anything. Does he even have any friends?" Kimi was honestly curious. She never ever saw Tommy hanging out with anyone but Lil. Before he had moved he was one of the most popular guys at the school. Girls were constantly throwing their numbers at him and he seemed to enjoy the attention.

"Tommy spends time with me," Lil said.

I know he does.

Kimi yawned and then rolled on her stomach after tossing the magazine across the room. "Tomorrow I am going to pamper myself. First I'm waking up early and going on a jog and then I'm spending the afternoon at the gym before I go to the spa. Would you like to go with me?"

"Sure."

"Cool."

"I really feel like going shopping right now," Lil said.

"Me too, but I need a job. I might be applying for one at the mall actually. Pete is going to show me how to make a résumé. He is a life saver."

Lil laughed nervously. "We should work together. You know, get a job and stuff…"

"That sounds fun. So um…oh have you been watching Desperate Housewives?" Kimi asked her friend.

Lil shook her head vigorously. "TV isn't a part of my life that much anymore. I've been focusing on my diet and everything. I've lost a couple of more pounds last week."

"I knew I had noticed something different about you, but I thought it was just a haircut." Kimi watched as Lil stood up and spun around, a smile on her face. She definitely loves the attention. Now that I'm paying attention I can tell a difference in her weight, but it's a slight difference. She looks really nice now…

"I'm not too thin am I?" Lil asked, stopping dead in her tracks with a serious look on her face.

"No," Kimi replied. "You really look awesome Lil, like a different person. Is it really that three meals a day thing, because three meals is actually what you're supposed to have? Are you just cutting your carbs?"

"More like skipping meals," Lil replied with a joking tone. Kimi stared at her for a moment before Lil burst into laugher. "God Kimi, you are so gullible. I'm eating okay, three times a day. I've just been running every evening and watching what I eat. When I feel like getting a donut I just choose a carton of yogurt or something. Fat free yogurt. What have you been doing? You look sort of different. Have you been eating?"

"I'm about to eat some of that pizza downstairs."

"Well then you're purging."

Kimi knew that Lil was joking, but for some reason she felt like Lil seriously thought she was throwing up. If she did then she definitely was right. Slowly Kimi forced her head to shake and then she faked a laugh that sounded surprisingly convincing. And she thought Angelica was the actress. "Oh yeah Lil, I'm purging and taking a side of laxatives. Are you sure you aren't the one doing it?"

"I'm sure. I am pregnant though."

"Lil, give it up. I know you aren't pregnant."

"Oh yeah, then how come I have a test that says otherwise?"

Kimi rolled her eyes and finally Lil laughed.

"Would you be mad if I was really pregnant? With Tommy's baby?"

"Why would I be mad? You're my best friend."

Lil shrugged. "I guess because he's your ex and all. You really seem bothered by us going out. We never argued so often as we do now Kimi. I hate it when we fight."

"We don't fight because of your boyfriend. And I thought you two didn't have a label?"

"We added one," Lil said, "and it was his idea. He's the greatest boyfriend ever. He's counting down the days to my birthday. Can you believe it? My birthday isn't even any time soon, but he knows better than I do. If I was to get pregnant by anyone I would hope to get pregnant by him." She sighed and imagined her life with him. There would be three kids and a house with a white picket fence. Tommy would be a movie director like he wants to be, and Lil would be a famous model. Celebrities would come to their house on a daily basis and—

"Lil! Come on, Phil said the pizza's ready." Lil just realized Kimi was standing in the doorway and she quickly hopped up to follow her friend downstairs.
