-1 the call-

'Dorian and Julie.. .. Yeah they were so cute together.. and then Jules were legally my sister. Oh and they would have so cute kiddos. They really .. ..! Oh my gawd. I haven't thought that.. that is so .. yuck . They're just kids themselves. Geoey you really has to become all healed up again. This whole doing nothing is not good for you. Cause you spend to much time with thinking and that is bad. That is really bad. And I really have to stop talking to myself. Especially in the third person. Oh I'm so .. ..!` The shrill ringing of her phone shocked her out of her musings. "Geosey Hancock?!"

-Hey sugar it's me!-

"Jules!" Geoey said in total relief.

-What's up? You sound strange.-

"Nothing, you just saved me from myself. I'm starting to become mad. .. Why are you laughing?"

-Sweetest you were already mad before I even went to the Goodwills. So when do you get your cast of?-

Geoey smiled knowingly to the mad comment and answered with great relief: "In two days. Finally! It's really starting to unnerve me."

-You know you would be already running around as if nothing had happened if you had just listened to the doctors advice and hadn't overexerted your knee on the first day! You should really listen to him this time.-

"Jules you start to sound just like my mom!" Geoey accused.

-That woman is really wise.-

"Oh shut it, smartaleck! Let's stop talking about me. Let's talk about you. Cause it's actually you who left me here all on my own. How's the new school?"

-It's .. okay.-

Geoey frowned at her best friends disinterested voice. "What's up bunny?" She had to smile at that last word. Julie and she always use those pet names for each other when they phoned. "Just two days ago you fell all over yourself because you were so happy. What happens? Has this .. Daniel.."

-Dean!-

"Whatever, has this guy anything to do with it?" The sigh on the other end of the phone was enough to answer her question. "What did that bastard do?"

-He's no bastard!-

"He is when you are not happy because of him. So what did he do to you?"

-He didn't do anything to me. He just doesn't come?-

"What?"

-He gave his scholarship back. You know our coach, coach Bombay, he quit he'll become a lawyer now and Dean heard about it and decided he doesn't want another coach and so he stayed at home.-

"You're really sad that he doesn't come, right?"

-Mhm.-

"You're really head over heels for him, don't ya?"

-More than that.- The totally devastated tone in Julies voice nearly made her best friend jump up and run to her to her aid. -But it's okay, I mean I never really had let myself do something stupid. I mean he has a girl. So there is no chance for me. I'm just the..-

"Julie stop it. You are beautiful and if he doesn't see it, it is his loss. Why didn't you try it? I mean maybe then he would have had a reason to stay in that fancy school of yours. And now don't come with the ´he has a girlfriend` speech. I told you times and times again that you can't come in- between an intact relationship. If he goes along with your intentions then you can forget about that girl. Gawd I really want to see that guy who has you so wrapped around his little finger."

-Thank you very much.-

"Was a pleasure ... No darling, you really have to do something about it. I know you are a keeper, but with boys you have to be the enforcer. They're dumb by nature .. .. stop laughing.. .. hey .. .. hello .. .. I'm trying to make a point here .. .. hello-o!"

-Oh sweetheart, you little feminist you.. ..!-

"Oh no... no. I'm no feminist. This whole thing I know from personnel research and experience. "

-Research and experience?-

"Of course. I did a concentrated field study and now I know those things. Well anyways, you interrupted the outpouring of my worldly wisdom... "

-Your what?- Geoey had problems to understand what Julie said cause it was just a pressed out tone. The rest was just giggling and laughing.

"My worldly wisdom... So shut up and listen, you could learn something. No you can learn something. So prick up your ears: If you want a boy to understand what you want you have to give him a broad hit. No metaphors don't say it in a roundabout way. Just do it. If you follow that rules.. .. you have your boy! .. .. What? Julie I don't understand one word. .. You should stop laughing before you try to tell me something." After three looong minutes Geoey finally got her answer.

-Darling you really need to get out of bed. You really start to become crazy. Even in your terms was that crazy.-

"Told you so bunny! Why don't you ever believe what I tell you? When you believe nothing else, then believe me that you and Dorian would be a great couple."

-I love you, sugar, but if you don't stop with that Dorian story I'll never talk to you again. You know I have my hots for the missing Bash Brother! So just shut it.-

"Oh .. that's soo.. ..!" She was instantly interrupted by a loud bang on the other side of the phone.

-For God's sake! .. Honey hang on.. ..-

"Okay?!" She responded and listened in, but she could just hear Julies side.

-God damn it. Don't you Bash Brothers ever knock? You are such a lout! What's up? .. .. Yeah .. .. Oh .. okay. I'm coming. .. Oh shut it Mr. Bash .. Yeah I am angry at you. .. Yeah yeah I'm coming.. .. Geoey-darling?-

"Yes Babe, what's up?"

-The remaining Bash Brother just stormed my room and told me we have practice. I have to go. I'm so sorry.. But well you know practice comes first.-

"Hey remember whom your talking to. Never mind. I'll call you when my cast is off. And I love and miss you, babe."

-I love you too, as I told you before. And don't call me babe. I hate it. .. Okay Geoey give me a call when you're cast-free and remember I'll gonna miss you till you're with me again, or the other way round which is a bit more likely. See ya sugar.-

"Yeah see ya, honey!" Julie disconnected the call and Geoey was once more left alone with her thoughts.
