= MATT =

Her?

No.

Her?

Nope.

Maybe her?

Definitely not.

...her?

Not a chance.

Mandy giggled.

"Prowling the savanna are you?"

I smiled back at her.

"Something like that. Hoping to pick off the weak ones."

"Niiice. Pass me the acid?"

Mandy Sween, she was good looking, even in goggles. Blonde hair, amber eyes, had a penchant for short shirts.....

Mandy? ....Yeah right. I sighed and gave her a small blue bottle on the tray, hoping it was acid.

"What's up? Science make you this depressed?" That made me smile again.

"I don't seem to have a chance with any reasonable looking girl in tri-state area, that's all."

She nodded. "Homecoming?"

"Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Having a real date would be nice for once."

She nodded again and poured the small bottle into our beaker.

"Yeah, I was pretty desperate until I found Tim. He's such a great guy."

I think she threw in the "great guy" part so I understood I didn't have a chance. Thank yoooooou Mandy.

She began to stir the beaker and look around the room.

"Cassie doesn't have a date, I think." Mandy pointed to the girl two tables over.

I had to bend backward in a very awkward leering position to see the girl Mandy was pointing to. She was a bit shorter than me, very long braided hair. Big brown eyes, little nose, complection somewhere between chocolate and caramel.....

You know it's bad when you compare a girl to food product. She was cute, and honestly, way out of my league.

"Something tells me, she's uh, what are the words I'm looking for? Not interested."

She slipped off the goggles and gave my shoulder a playful punch. I say playful only because she was built like a twig and she could have actually been hitting me, but she was smiling so I assume it was good natured. " Don't be so sure. You've got amazing blue eyes. "

That made me smile. Everybody loves the eyes. "Yes, I do have eyes. I shall woo with my power of sight."

"Shut up Matt! No really, I mean, you're in football now right? I mean, not that I noticed, because noticing things that aren't Tim make Tim mad, but you've gotten a pretty nice upper body from it. "

I have? "Why thank you."

"No problem." Suddenly she smirked. "Or..." Her eyebrow cocked, " you know who is free." Mandy's eyes darted to the far back corner.

I almost looked until I figured out who she meant.

"Oh very funny. Get back to work."
