A week later Amanda sat in Harry's class playing with her class as she
stared at the worksheet she didn't intend on doing. Flipping the pencil
over she shuffled down farther in her seat, it was Friday and for some
reason she was tired and still ahead of her was dance practice. She looked
over at Karen as she threw a folded piece of paper on her desk. Amanda
unfolded it and read it, "You Going To The Party Tonight?" Amanda
flattened the paper out and wrote down no. She folded the piece of paper
back up and went to give it back to Karen but she shook her head and
pointed to Marty. Amanda lightly tapped Marty on the shoulder and tosed
the folded paper over his shoulder to him. She sat back in her seat
playing with her pencil, she watched as Marty wrote down his answer and
passed it on to Miranda. The note then made it's way back to Karen, she
wrote down something and passed it back to Amanda. "Why?" was next to her
no and over top of Miranda and Marty's yes. "Too tired, I got dance and
I'm already to pass out" she folded the note back up and gave it to.
Amanda looked over and watched as Karen wrote her response then handed it
back to her. "Too busy with Senate huh?Bet you won't be too tired for him"
Amanda smirked as she folded the note back and threw it at Karen. Karen
quickly wrote down something and gave it back to Amanda, "Fine don't come
tonight then Ms.Senate"
"Karen stop passing notes,"said Harry,"Unless you plan to share them with the class."
"Well I could,"said Karen grabbing the note from Amanda. Amanda leaned over and tried grabbing the note back. Karen held it in the far hand and held Amanda at bay with the other hand. Amanda grabbed for the note, she pulled on Karen's arm to drag her closer so she could grab the note. Karen held it up higher so it was out of Amanda's reach. Sighing Amanda let go of her and sat back in her seat.
"Fine, do whatever you want with it,"said Amanda. Karen grinned as she held the ntoe out in front of her.
"Anyone want to read it?"offered Karen holding it up. Amanda quickly grabbed Karen's arm dragging her over, she grabbed Karen's hair and pulled. Karen grabbed Amanda's hair with her free hand.
"Give it to me,"said Amanda. Karen laughed as she shook her head.
"No,"said Karen laughing. Marty turned around and seen the two girls pulling each other's head as Karen tried to hold back the note and Amanda struggling with her free hand to get it. He reached over to Karen and quickly snatched the note from her as the rest of the class watched them. Looking it over, he rolled his eyes.
"God, all this fighting over nothing,"said Marty crumpling up the note,"Nobody wants to know about your feminen itching in the first place." Amanda and Karen both let go of each other's hair and sat kinda stunned as a laugh broke out among the class.
"Well Karen can't help it can she,"said Amanda smirking as Karen sat there red faced.
"Back to work, cause we really don't want to hear about stuff like that,"said Harry holding back a smirk. The class quieted back down as they went back to their work. Amanda leaned over smiling to Karen.
"That was for pushing me in the snow bank,"said Amanda quietly.
"Fine, we're even,"said Karen pushing her back into her desk.

After school Amanda sat in the gym with the rest of the dance team. She sat on the first bleacher, next to her was a small cd player and on the other side were the co-captains of the dance squad. A group of girls stood at the otherside of the gym nervously, it was the first year that auditions were held for the dance squad, it wasn't a who shows is on it way anymore. Signing Amanda sat back and called the first girl up, she was in the tenth grade going into the eleventh grade in the coming year.
"Remember watch this cause you guys are having the final vote on this,"said Amanda,"I'm not here next year, you are." The two other girls nodded as they watched the girl auditioning walk to the middle of the gym.
"Okay, give us whatever you've got,"said Amanda, the team had made up posters and given a song that the girls were suppose to make a minute long routine to audition with. Amanda hit the play button and the music fill the gym.
An hour and half later Amanda walked down the hall to the cafeteria with Miranda who decided to hang around with Amanda for the auditions. They had seen some of the worse dancing they'd ever seen, but along with that there were some girls who really just stood out. Both where tired and they had about forty five more minutes to go.
"So a question of curiousity,"said Miranda.
"Go ahead,"said Amanda knowing full well what it was going to be about, the number one subject on everyone's lips who knew, Harry.
"Do you guys love each other?"asked Miranda. Amanda smiled as she looked off in another direction.
"Yeah,"said Amanda softly.
"That is so great,"said Miranda,"It's good to see that." Amanda looked up and seen Ronnie walking down the hall with Lauren.
"Play along,"said Amanda softly. Miranda looked at her confused slightly but then seen Ronnie and nodded. As the girls came closer Amanda started speaking.
"So yeah remember the brunette we seen him sucking face with outside that Italian joint,"said Amanda,"The one that was like half his age."
"Yeah, but she was gorgous, like how he ever got her is beyond me, he must fuck like a stallion,"said Miranda cluing in quickly to who the brunette in question was.
"Well now she's pregnant I think, I seen them at the mall going into one of those maternity stores and he's all beaming and got his hands on her stomach,"said Amanda,"Looked like he got his daughter preggers."
"Ouch,"muttered Miranda.
"But I don't know what her deal was, she was pissed off that some blonde hag was all over him,"said Amanda,"I tried to listen into what it was about but all he kept saying was how sorry he was and that he loved her no matter what and that his blonde piece of trash meant nothing to him, shit meant more to him."
"Are you serious he said that?"asked Miranda.
"Oh yeah,"said Amanda nodding as she glanced over at Ronnie and Lauren who were listening in. Their expressions tried to hide the fact that they knew who the girls were talking about. Grinning to herself Amanda walked into the cafeteria with Miranda away from the two teachers.
"What was all of that about?"asked Miranda.
"Ms.Cook seen Harry kissing me when he was suppose to be with her, but he blew her off,"said Amanda quietly as she pulled Miranda close to the pop machines,"And the other day she kissed him and he harsh told her to back off and he was in love with his girlfriend, and that was just shoving it in her face."
"But does she know it's you?"asked Miranda.
"Hell no, all she seen was my back and my hair,"said Amanda.
"I'd love to see the look on that woman's face the day she finds out you and Harry are an item,"said Miranda,"I'd shit myself."
"Oh I would too,"said Amanda grinning. The two girls got bottles of water and headed back to the gym. As they got settled into the bleachers the co- captians informed them the worse had yet to come, they had watched some of the girls practicing during the break and unless looking like a monkey on fire was sleek, none of them had a hope in hell. Sighing Amanda sat back and called the next girl up.

Amanda walked into a house full of the smell of pasta. Dropping her bag and keys at the door she went straight into the kitchen where Scott was finishing up dinner. A pan of canelloni sat on the stove waiting to be served.
"Hey Dad,"said Amanda staring at the food,"Man am I starved."
"How was dance?"asked Scott.
"I woulda rather had my right arm ripped off my body and be beaten with it,"said Amanda as she grabbed a plate. Scott served her a plateful of pasta and handed her a fork.
"Thank you, I'm dying of starvation,"said Amanda as she walked towards the kitchen table.
"Did you sign anyone up for the team next year?"asked Scott.
"Oh yeah, there were some who were killer, but more of them sucked,"said Amanda.
"So are you in for the night?"asked Scott as he walked over with his own plate.
"Yeah,"said Amanda,"I'm dead tired."
"But I heard there was a party going on?"asked Scott.
"Nope, well there is a party but I am way too tired to even think about it,"said Amanda as she shoveled in a forkful of food. After dinner Amanda took her plates into the kitchen then went upstairs for a shower and to lay in bed watching TV.
"Karen stop passing notes,"said Harry,"Unless you plan to share them with the class."
