Later that week I got together with the gang. We went to a smoothie shack. It was the first time I had went anywhere with people, much less people I could sort of call 'friends'. Katrina was being more and more decent to me, and she hardly taunted me anymore. I felt like one of the gang.

"You're gonna meet the other three today," Katrina told me as we walked to the smoothie shack. "Jose, Marissa and Rence."

"Rence?" I asked. "What sort of name is that?"

Her eyes went wild. "Don't you dare say that to his face! Don't even say anything about him! God damnit Theodore don't ask about everything fuckin thing! What the hell is the matter with you?"

"Ok, sorry," I put my eyes on the ground.

She sighed. "Rence is really named Lawrence but he hates his name. He's my best friend and don't you ever say shit about him cuz you answer to me! Got it, foo?"

"Yeah, I dig it." I said, trying to be cool.

That made this stupid song pop into my head: trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me. Tell me, why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

Sounded sorta like what I did to my life. I wanted to be cool so I went and fucked it up. I hoped the smoothie was good at least, or maybe some of the other people would be nice to me besides Slum. I wondered why he was called Slum. Oh well, better not ask Katrina or she'll scream at me again.

Being with Katrina made me feel and act different. I used to just look at the ground, now I hold my head high and shoulders back. I used to just sit and act all quiet, now I have something to say. I think Katrina might have been a blessing in disguise. I mean she treats me like shit but at times she's nice. Through her I've gained self confidence, and maybe I'd gain a friend today. I grinned. And then Katrina interrupted my thoughts,

"We here, The-o-dore."

I don't know why, but she always dragged out the syllables of my name.

We pushed open the door and a little bell tinkled. Inside there were a ton of booths. I spotted Cliff and he waved. So me and Katrina walked over.

"Hey y'all," she drawled. "You know Theodore right?"

A bunch of people nodded.

"Well make sum room!"

Everyone slid over and there was finally space for me. Katrina pulled up a chair and sat.

"Meet Jose," Katrina pointed to a Hispanic boy with a practically shaven head, "Marissa," the only word I could think of for her was 'whore', "and Rence." Rence looked pretty normal. He looked laid back, he wore jeans and a normal tee. He was African-American too.

"Hey," I said.

"Hola," the Hispanic boy muttered. He was sitting next to me. "Que tal?"

"Nada," I said.

He looked surprised. "You know espanol?"

"Si," I grinned. "I take it. I don't know much though. . ."

"BIEN!" he cried. "I can teach you. Why don't we meet outside school tomorrow and I'll help you?"

I couldn't believe this guy was being so nice to me.

"Si," I said.

Jose looked very eager to teach me espanol. I wondered why.

A waiter came up to the table. "Wad'dall be?"

I wondered what he meant but Kartina spoke up. "Nine lemonade smoothies please."

He nodded.

Cliff took out a little bottle and grinned.

"Spike!" Marissa shrieked. "I love you!!!!"

And she started kissing him. I wondered it this happened a lot. It was pretty gross, seeing them two exchanging saliva at the table in public. Whatever.

"So," Rence said. He had a deep voice. "What brings you into the group?"

I shrugged and was about to say something when Katrina spoke for me.

"He's iight," she said. "And if we get into a fight, he can help. A lot."

Rence and Katrina shared a secret smile.

The waiter came back with a bunch of smoothies. "Enjoy," he flashed a fake smile and went off.

Cliff stopped sucking Marissa's face and took out another bottle.

"Just pour a little into you drink," he explained to us, and demonstrated.

I guess this was 'spiking' drinks. When the bottle got around to me, I put like a drop in.

"Hey, man, put in a lil more!" Jose said, and tipped like a quarter of the bottle into my drink.

My eyes widened.

"Opps, maybe that's a bit much, man," Jose said, and looked down at the ground.

"That's ok," I told him.

"Here. Theo, I'll take yours, and you can take mine. I haven't put any in yet, plus I like my drinks spiked up." She smiled at Rence. "It'll make it more fun later."

I guess this means she was gonna go have sex with Rence later. I sighed deeply and took Katrina's drink, poured in about two drops of alcohol and drank it.

It wasn't that bad. I guess. At least I think I might have made a friend- Jose. He seemed a bit more like me, and he wasn't so hardcore or violent. I guess I'd find more about him tomorrow, though, in my 'spanish lesson.'

~*~

A/N Hey! Thanks for reading! I'm gonna write about a Spanish lesson, then I'm gonna write another chapter that'll led up to a big fight. Hee hee. Give me sum ideas! Thanks!
