"How'd it go?" Yokas asked her partner as he stepped into the squad car, driver's seat of course. It had been about a week and a half since she'd last seen or heard from him, personally, she was ecstatic he had finally returned, it wasn't easy driving around with a probee for days on end. Bosco responded with an indifferent grunt silencing any further attempts for conversation at the present time. Not one to pry, Faith just let it go knowing he'd talk about it when he felt like talking about it.
"Hey!!!! Asshole!!! Watch where you're driving here! This ain't fuckin bumper cars lets move!!" Bosco yelled out the window. Back to normal ... well, almost.

"And this is the room where it all happens, lies, truths, love, hate, its very soap opera-esqu, especially when Juliette opens her mouth..." Shelby was finishing up her tour from hell, Marissa wasn't exactly best friend material. An attitude comparable to her own was something Shelby was hardly used to.
"Sounds epic."
"It is. " a voice called from behind them.
"Hey Freakin, what's wrong, run out of pills to pop?"
"You know, if I was a more impressionable youth, your sarcasm, directly correlating to my own personal devastations would probably affect me more deeply"
Marissa laughed at his sincerity. It was the first time she'd laughed in a while, it was almost refreshing, till she remembered where she was and why.
"Since you find him so funny why don't you throw a leash on him and make him your business cause frankly, everyone else is tired of dealing with him and he's obviously getting nowhere with Daisy"
"Hey! You don't sledge hammer an ice sculpture, you gently craft it with love! These things take time!"
"Are you all talking about me again? You know I get schitzo about that..."
"And you all know when she gets in her moods she breaks out the slip knot make up van and becomes the nazi clown..."
"Shut up David" Kat walked in with Juliette by her side.
"You guys knock it off!! You aren't gonna make a very good first impression with the new girl if you are acting like this!"
"Like we're the ones so into impressions Queenie" Shelby remarked, "Besides, I don't think impressions are high on "the new girl's" mind. Everyone... meet the bitch of the century..."
Marissa who had been internally gagging at the scene before her smiled with a bemused expression.
"Hey... Don't sell yourself short Shelby! You're definitely close competition, unfortunately for you, being a bitch also requires that intelligent edge... something I'm sure you could work on, I'm sure they have great tutorial programs around here for the money it costs to enroll" Marissa decided she'd wander off on her own at that point considering how bored she was with the current company
"Well... this should be interesting..." Daisy commented before plopping herself down in a random armchair.
"Wow... hmmm bitch of the century... Shelby or Marissa..." David questioned
"Yea, the jury is definitely hung on this one." Ezra agreed
"I think I'm gonna like that one." David smirked before attempting to sit down next to Daisy. ATTEMPTING of course, as usual, resulted in a painful rejection involving her elbow and his stomach.
"You guys, this is horrible, one Shelby is hard enough..." Juliette sat down too, "Not that I mean anything by that of course Shel..."
"Yea well, let's just see how long her attitude lasts. She doesn't know who she's messing with..." Shelby spoke through gritted teeth.
"Yea, and she doesn't care." Kat laughed, knowing the type all too well.

"Over here!!! no no! Meat what are you doing Dude, the basket is over there!!! The whole objective is to make it IN" Auggie scolded Scott for screwing up his game.
The two were paired against a couple other guys from their math class, this was a crucial game considering the loser was forced to clean the other's dorm room's bathrooms for a month. So far, Auggie and Scott were about as far from winning as Cambodia is from becoming the next great world power.
"Well if you learned how to pass right, my throws wouldn't be a problem!"
"Meat, Step off or -"
"Or you'll what?"
"GUYS!" the other two guys had had enough of the argument, "Are we playin or what?"
"What's your problem"?
"Yea, can't you see we're having a conversation?"
"I can see that, but in case you can't SEE the point of playing basketball, it's to actually PLAY"
"Yo man.. Why you gotta be like that" Auggie stepped forward as did Scott. Next thing you know a fight began. It was clean, just fists, and quite amusing for Marissa who'd wandered her way into the little side show. A ball came flying out of the rampaging fists and rolled to a stop by her feet.
*Hmm basketball... not my sport of choice but what the hell* she thought to herself.
With barely a stretch she sent the ball flying and watched it sail smoothly into the net.
"Hey, who shot that?"
"Whatever man, lets go, I don't want kitchens " The two guys called for a rematch at that moment and left, leaving Auggie and Scott hands on knees breathing heavy from the exertion.
" Sorry meat, I was dealin my own house"
"Its cool Aug, we should get to group."
"Oh god not you two too"
Both guys glanced up surprised by the sound of an unrecognizable female voice. Before them stood Marissa, hand on hip, stylish black sunglasses, darkly tinted masking her eyes. She had her normally curly black hair, straightened and pulled back into a claw clip. Marissa was wearing a fitted black turtleneck sweater and dark denim jeans, she wore black dress boots, and possessed a deep olive complexion, typical for most Italians. She wasn't a super model, but she was breath taking. Marissa was no doubt a pretty girl, but more than her actual looks, she had a classiness, an allure to her that was incomparable to most, it was in the way she carried herself, in the way she smiled, and in the way she saw the world. Her cavalier attitude towards most of life added to her appeal. She was constrained only to the confines she'd created for herself, no one else's. That was the reason behind her charm. She'd never be a model, but only cause she didn't want to be, not for lack of beauty or talent, maybe for lack of height being that she was only around 5'5...
"Us too what?" Auggie managed to stammer out
"You're heading for that quaint little shindig they have goin over there?"
Immediately the boys picked up on her accent and figured this must be the newbie. Conveniently, Peter had neglected to mention she was gorgeous
"Group?" Scott offered
"Yea whatever, I'm just not in the mood to bask in other people's issues I guess"
"No one ever is"
"So you're sayin its a unnecessary evil?"
"Something like that" Auggie answered.
"I'm Scott, and this is Auggie" he stuck out his hand and she shook it with a smirk
"Marissa"
"We should uh, probably get to group," Auggie stammered out
"Nah, I'm not really feelin "group" right now, I think I'm gonna go for a walk"
"Don't you wanna meet everyone?" Auggie asked
Marissa laughed
"Oh I've met them... God help everyone if there's anymore "cliffhangers"
"How'd first impressions go?" Scott asked
"Oh they went... somewhere. I think I've already made some questionable relationships. You know, just setting the foundations"
"Uh oh"
"What?"
"This sounds familiar" Auggie sighed
"So I've heard, but don't worry, Shelby and I don't have that much in common. I'm much more human and much less into exploiting myself. We might both have attitude complexes but mine's an self created personality trait, hers is a serious character flaw"
"Theres a big difference?"
Marissa laughed and lifted her sunglasses up onto her head for the first time revealing her deep, dark eyes, full of laugh lines and a softness previously unnoted. Also, revealing old bruises.
"Ouch" Scott said
"Yea yea I know, it looks bad but really it's not so horrific"
"I guess."
"Lighten up Auggie. I'll tell you what, I'll go to your pathetic little share time thing if you let me play later"
"What basketball?" Scott inquired
"Sure" she replied
"Psssh... Anything to get a new partner" Auggie joked and Scott playfully shoved his shoulder.
"Now now boys, lets be nice to one another"
Marissa led the way as the three headed back to "group"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and DEFINITELY will be used against you once they throw your sorry ass in front of a jury my friend, if you haven't sold enough crack to the local elementary schoolers and therefore cannot afford an attorney, some dumbass will be appointed to you by our wonderful lady justice, yadda yadda, you've heard it enough Ernie I don't feel I need to go through the whole speech anymore." Bosco ripped the man off the hood of the car and threw him in the back as an exhausted Faith watched slightly annoyed from the front seat.
"Was that necessary?" she asked him as he sat back in the driver's seat
"What,? I'm not allowed to do my job anymore? I thought my purpose was to protect and serve, if I have been misguided in any way let me know Faith"
"Boz... don't you even think about starting with me right now"
"How am I starting with you, you're the one whose tellin me how to do my job"
"I wasn't telling you how to do your job! What the fuck is wrong with you Boz. Knock it off or I'll tell the captain I don't think you're ready to be back."
"What the fuck, not ready to be back, what is that shit. Just back off faith. You hungry? I'm hungry, Ernie you hungry? You ain't gonna be eatin nothin good for a while so you might as well get somethin"
"Fine."
"Fine"
"Good"
"Excellent"
Faith Yokas glared at her partner and then smiled in spite of herself. The two left Ernie in the back seat and entered a local convenience store to get some snacks. Faith had gotten her radio tangled in the seat belt and had left it in the front seat. Neither one of them heard the speaker crackle on to call in back up and neither one heard why.
~~~ you like??? yes no?? enough of a cliffhanger for you?? REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!hahah~~~~~~~
