Goldberg was sitting at his usual booth in the back of the Cyber Diner, a popular restaurant near campus, where he spent most of his afternoons. He'd cruise the web, while sipping a Root-Beer float and munching the Diner's famous chili cheese fries. It combined two of his favorite things, chilling in the Eden Hall chat room and eating. The oddest part however was no matter how much time he spent in the chat room, he never actually said anything and nobody ever talked to him.
The scene in the chat was much the same that night as it was every time he was in there. The group was a buzz about how Terry Dalton was cheating on Xander Patterson, when Sherry entered and declared her love to Frank Grossman, not knowing Xander was in the room. It was an internet version of Jerry Springer and Goldberg was loving every minute of it.
The bell on the door jingled and a young couple walked in arms linked and giggling. Greg recognized one of the laughs as that of Portman and looked up from the screen long enough to catch his friends' eyes.
"I thought you wanted pizza." Elizabeth said to her boy friend as they walked toward Goldberg's booth.
"Come on now Lizzie, you know you'd rather sit here and split a milkshake and be all romantic like." Portman dropped an arm around her waist. "Beside the wait at Luigi's was forty minutes long."
"I could've waited, it would've been fun. We could've played tic-tac-toe, or cuddled or something." She responded plopping onto his lap after he sat down next to Goldie.
"Do you two have to do that here?" Goldberg queried.
"Do what?" Liz looked at him, though she was completely lost in Portman's presence.
"Be all coupley and annoying." Greg sipped his float and looked back at his computer.
"You're just upset cuz you're not in love Goldie my man." Dean kissed Lizzie's cheek.
"Yeah well I'm not the only one, you should see what's going on between Terry Dalton and Xander Grossman."
Liz frowned slightly, something she very rarely did and hopped off of her boyfriend's lap. It seemed lack luster love lives were becoming a common thing amongst the students and an always positive girl like that had a hard time dealing with the depressing situation. That's when she had a great idea.
"I've got it!" She yelled.
Portman raised his eyebrows at her like she was crazy.
"Got what babe?"
"An internet dating service for Eden Hall students only. I'm Kate's sitting at home right now watching TV or playing online bored out of her mind and Goldie you're here surfing the net. So if this is what single kids our age are doing, why not use it as a way to get the nondating part of the student body to meet each other?"
"You know Lizzie, that just maybe a great idea."
~* Again another short chapter, but there's still the Reagan and Luis part of this night *~
