That night Amanda sat in her room on her bed as she furiously dialed
Miranda's number. She was still upset over the Harry thing 'what a fucking
baby' Amanda screamed in her mind as the phone rang. After three rings the
phone was picked up.
"Hello"
"Hi is Miranda there?"
"Speaking."
"Hey it's Aje,"said Amanda.
"Hey, okay details now all about you and Mr.Senate, or should I say Harry?"asked Miranda in a lovey voice.
"You can stick with Mr.Senate,"said Amanda getting off her bed and pushing the door to make sure it was closed. Once she double checked the door she walked back over to her bed and flopped down on her back.
"Okay now stop stalling tell all,"said Miranda.
"All right, New Years Eve Karen, Jessica and I went to Runaway cause it was a good deal. Anyways I lost Kare and Jess then found them in a booth with these two guys they had been dancing with so I made my way over to them and by chance who was sitting there with a big blond tramp on him, Harry,"said Amanda.
"Ah, do I sense jealously at this part of the tale?"asked Miranda teasingly.
"No, but anways I said hi and blah blah blah. Anyways Harry looks mesirable with this hoe on him so I showed her up and got him smiling which pissed her off so everyone left except for him and me. And we did a shot, he took his outta my cleavage,"said Amanda.
"Lucky little bitch,"said Miranda.
"So anyways we got talking and I threw my legs over his lap and some how blurted out I was attracted to him. Then he kissed me,"said Amanda.
"Well who wouldn't want to,"said Miranda.
"So he told me he was attracted to me then we started making out and at this point I'm up straddling his lap,"said Amanda,"Then he starts fingering me."
"Was he all up and to attention?"asked Miranda.
"Yeah,"said Amanda,"So after that he says to me, I've got a hold of him and he can't think of being with anyone else but me. THen at midnight we kissed again but reality I guess musta set in cause I bolted."
"You dumb girl,"said Miranda,"Anything else happen?"
"Yeah when we were leaving some guy said something to me and Harry went ballistic and threw him up against the cab. Then I tripped and hurt my ankle and Harry took me back to his friends' house with Karen and Jess,"said Amanda.
"Did you guys' hook up?"asked Miranda.
"No, we just slept on the couch together,"said Amanda.
"Ah,"cooed Miranda,"So that's why Mr.Senate has been acting weird, he's in love."
"Yeah that's the bitch. I went and confronted him about that today, like to find out what the deal was and he starts ego tripping on me that what happened never should have and we can't have anything because he might loose his job and bullshit."
"That bastard,"swore Miranda,"What did you say?"
"I just told him to grow up,"said Amanda,"Then left."
"That fucking asshole,"said Miranda.
"I know, like he says all those loving things to me in the club then pulls that shit,"said Amanda.
"Wait, in the club we you guys first kissed did he kiss you or did you guys just like kiss each other?"asked Miranda.
"Well I guess he kissed me, I was leaning on his shoulder and he put his fingers to my cheek and pushed my face around and our lips just met,"said Amanda.
"Then that means he wanted to kiss you,"said Miranda.
"Well whatever he's being an asshole now,"muttered Amanda.
"Ah, Aje, don't worry about it,"said Miranda.
"I'm not,"pouted Amanda.
"To be dead honest with you,"said Miranda,"You and Harry would make a cute couple, I think that's what he needs, a young girl to show him life."
"Well he can go find another young girl,"pouted Amanda.
"As I said don't worry about it,"said Miranda.
"Whatever, I'm gonna go now,"said Amanda.
"Kay girl, but don't get worked up over it. See ya tomorrow,"said Miranda.
"Yup,"said Amanda,"See ya." Amanda hung up her phone and pulled open her nightstand drawer, she searched through the drawer and pulled out her pack of cigarettes, she was vowed to quit on New Years but she kept a pack around for those times she just needed one like now. She pulled out out and found a lighter, slamming the drawer shut she walked out of her room and quickly and heavily through the living room then throught the kitchen where Scott was. She pulled open the sliding doors for the backyard and stepped out to the cold Boston air. Immediately she lit up the cigarette and took a deep drag.
"AJ,"said Scott stepping out and looking disapprovingly at her cigarette.
"Don't start, please not now,"said Amanda,"I don't wanna start a fight." Scott bit his lip realizing something was hounding his daughter and she was not happy over it.
"Okay, are you all right?"asked Scott.
"No,"huffed Amanda,"I hate guys, they can all go to hell for all I care they're all fucking retards spewing out bullshit to the world."
"Well not all guys,"said Scott.
"You're right, I think the only guy a girl can rely on is her dad,"said Amanda biting her lip. Scott smiled at her comment.
"Sweetie, any guy that makes you upset or angry you either care deeply about but if he upsets you he isn't worthy of you,"said Scott. Amanda looked at him taking the words he said. Scott watched thinking she was processing what he said and was applying it to her situation.
"Sweetie?"asked Amanda doubtfully as she raised her eyebrow. Scott snickered slightly and smiled.
"When you finish with your deadly little friend there why don't you come in and do your homework,"said Scott.
"Yes boss,"said Amanda sarcastically as she smiled. Scott nodded and shut the sliding door. Amanda sighed and leaned back against the house, 'I just gotta get Harry outta my mind' thought Amanda,'He has no idea what he's giving up.'

Harry sat on his couch staring at the ever changing television screen, he couldn't keep his mind on it all he could think about were the words he had said to Amanda. He knew as each one came out he deeply regretted it more than the last but he couldn't stop himself it was like the the part of him telling him this was dangerous just took over. Too many things were at risk, it was a loose loose sitituation, they'd get caught he was sure of it. And if they were it wasn't only him who would loose she would too, she'd have that reputation, her relationship with her father would be altered and she herself could be changed by it and he didn't want to see that happen. 'If only I hadn't walked into Scott's office that first day she would probably just be an empty face to me, just another student who's mind I'm responsible for, and need to mold in nine months' thought Harry as he ran his hand through his hair.
Sighing he got up and walked into the kitchen, slowly he opened the fridge and pulled out a beer. Opening it Harry threw the cap in the sink then pulled open one of the kitchen drawers, digging through paper and such he pulled out the pack of cigarette he had bought when Ronnie had been there. Without thinking he pulled one out one and grabbed the lighter from the drawer. As he held the cigarette between his lips he brought the flame of the lighter up to it and lit the cigarette. He watched the smoke smoothly and effortlessly rolle through the air. Tapping off the cigarette ashes in the sink the silence of his apartment was broken by the shrill ringing of the phone. Harry threw the cigarette into the wet sink and trotted off with his beer to answer the phone.
