"So, has that wonderful lunch hour made your day?" The red haired
smart guy asked his distressed friend. "What?" Liz turned to him. She had
been having trouble concentrating on stuff around her. She couldn't help
running into a few people, and after those death stares, she thought she
would pay attention but not so far. She just couldn't comprehend why Max
had been so resentful to Derrick. He's never been like that to her other
friends. Of course, none of her other friends had been a guy that enjoyed
being called her husband.
"Are you even listening? I could be saying I want to pierce an
eyebrow here, and you wouldn't even be paying attention!" Alex's red hair
looked even redder with his anger. Liz sighed and replied, "I'm sorry,
Alex. I've just been having a freak show of thoughts go around in my head.
What did you say?" Alex softened his face. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
gone off. I know what you're thinking. I don't know why Max went all Blair
Witch, but you know it has something to do with you, don't you?"
Alex looked over at his pretty best friend. He gave a sigh when she
shook her head no. How could she not know how Max felt? He just wished that
they would just succumb to their feelings and go out already! It was so
obvious to everyone in the world about how they felt to each other. Even
Eva Savealot probably knew that. Mmm, Eva. He thought about her for a
while.
"Now who's spacing out?" Liz scolded, but with a smile on her face.
Probably thinking about Isabel. Liz thought about how two people could
not know how they felt about each other. I wish they would just wake up and
go out already! Someone in their group of friends should. I just wish it
were me, the tired teenage thought.
"Sorry. I would just talk to him on the phone tonight. See what the
deal is, although, I'm sure everyone knows. I know I do." Alex griped as
they went to their last class of the day together. Before they went through
the door, Liz couldn't help but retort, "Oh Alex? About that pierced
eyebrow? I don't think Isabel would be quite attracted to that."
