Sean takes a step closer to Marilyn, he glares up at her, "You talking back
to me?"
"I am. What are you going to do? Hit me?" Marilyn questions, drawing more attention to the small group.
"Maybe I will-" Sean was interrupted by Craig, who stepped between the two; pushing them away from each other.
"Calm down guys." Craig looks at Sean and Marilyn nervously, "Maybe you two should just chill for a while, huh?"
Marilyn pulls away from Craig and walks down the hall, pushing through the crowd of people, and heads to the foyer.
"Freak!" Sean yells after her, "You should have let me deck her." He grumbles to Craig.
"That wouldn't help anything." He responds.
Jimmy smirks, "It would help her face!" He laughs.
"Nice on, Jimmy." Ashley Kerwin sneers, "Why do you dislike her so much? I have English with her, she seems nice enough."

Craig fiddled with the strap of his camera as he waited for the bus. He couldn't stop his eyes from moving over to Marilyn; sitting on the stone railing of the school steps. He really couldn't understand this; it seemed like everyone but him thought that Marilyn was ugly and an outcast, to him she was quite the opposite... she was attractive in his eyes, he had to keep reminding himself that he was dating Ashley.
He could overhear some of Marilyn's conversation. (she was half talking, half yelling into a cell phone), "I don't care if you think gas prices are more important than me because they probably are, I just need a ride home! ... I would, but I don't know the bus routs ... I'd rather wal- ...." She flips her phone shut and sighs.
Spinner laughs, "She talks funny." He's sitting next to Craig at the base of the steps.
"She's from Brooklyn, Spin. I'm sure she thinks we talk funny." Craig quickly turns his head to the street.
"You don't like her, do you?" Spinner asks, disgusted.
Craig laughs oddly, "No. I'm dating Ashley, you know that." He fumbles with his camera.

Slowly walking down the steps, Craig tries to find something to say as he heads into the living room. "... Hey, Joey?" He plops himself down on the end of the couch across from his uncle.
"Yeah, Craig?" Joey Jeremiah sets down the TV Guide he was looking through, "Something wrong?"
"No and yes..."
Joey looks at Craig, "No and yes?"
"... You know that I'm going out with Ashley, right?"
Joey nods, "Something wrong between the two of you?"
Craig shakes his head, "No, but there's this new girl at school. I like her, no one else seems too, but I think I'm getting a crush on her..."
"I am. What are you going to do? Hit me?" Marilyn questions, drawing more attention to the small group.
