"Hey Boo" Original Cindy called from across JamPony

"Hey girl, did you get Sketchy home ok last night?"

"Sure, but your super powers could have been useful"

"Let me guess, he hurled and then passed out?"

"Yeah, something like that"

"Gross!"

"Tell me about it. All over my shoes"

Max gave her best grossed out face and leaned back against her locker. It had been a couple of months since her re-escape form Manticore and things had finally begun to settle down, well, except for the constant fights with Alec. It was like Manticore had designed him of one mission – pissing her off. Although she had to admit they did get along ok and they worked together well, probably because he knew that if he didn't she'd kick his arse. Max sighed as she automatically scanned the room.

"Cindy, who's that" she asked as her attention was drawn to a girl on the other side of the room.

"Who's, who?"

"That girl standing in the corner, the one with the long hair"

"Don't know. Haven't seen her around before, she fine though. Why you asking?"

"She started this week and I've been getting the feeling she's been watching me"

"Black helicopter?"

"No they don't work like that"

"Maybe she thinks you fine"

Max rolled her eyes "No, it's not like that, it's something familiar but totally strange about her"

"Look, I gotta blaze but ask Alec when he comes in, she look the type that would get his attention"

With that Original Cindy headed out the door with a package. Max was kept busy the rest of the day by Normal and it was almost the end of the day before Max got a chance to talk to Alec.

"Hey Alec"

Alec cringed at Max yelling out his name

"Shit, what now" he grumbled under is breath before turning to face her

"Yes dear what do you want" he answered back sarcastically

"Don't give me any of your lip, I just wanted to know who that girl is standing by the lockers"

"That would be Cindy"

He saw a flash of annoyance in her eyes

"No, the girl on the other side of the lockers"

"Oh, her, I have no idea"

"Come on, I saw you talking to her the other day"

"Yeah, well, she didn't say much" He turned back to his bike

"Oh I get it, she blew you off. Poor baby, did it hurt?" she couldn't help laughing. Girls were usually all over Alec where ever he went. Maybe Original Cindy was right. "Come on you would have at least got her name"

"I don't know, it was something beginning with T, Tia I think"

Original Cindy walked up to them

"So what's her name"

"Tia, she blew off Alec" Max couldn't help adding the last bit, Original Cindy just smiled.

"I think I like the girl already"

"I don't know, I'm still getting a strange feeling"

They all looked over at the girl and caught her watching them

"Hey maybe she is just checking me out seeing she blew Alec off" Original Cindy said smiling

"Yeah well see you guys at crash tonight"

"Sure I thought you were doing something for Logan"

"No. I did it last night"

"K, see ya then"

Across the room the girl smiled. Even though she was on the other side of JamPony she had heard every word. Tonight she would go to Eyes Only – they had called him Logan and her task would be easier with that girl max not around.
