Joey stopped at the Dot to get some food for them. He gave Craig a 20 and said to get whatever they wanted. Koby got down to see how different things would be. They walked into the restaurant. Craig was floored to see Ashley was out on a date. They went straight to the counter. Ashley had spotted them and went over to taunt Craig.
"So Craig," she said.
"What," he knew she was going to start something. "I see that you are moving up," she said.
"Oh really what is that suppose to mean?" he asked.
"Well from young trash to just plain trash," she said looking at Koby.
Before Ashley could say another word Koby cocked back her fist and hit her. Of course she had no clue to what was going on, but that gave Ashley no reason to say that about her. Koby had not looked very strong but she had a good left hook.
"I am so sorry," Koby stated, "Ca me fait chier."
"What does that mean?" Craig asked.
"How do you say," she thought, "oh oui, she really pissed me off."
Craig laughed at her. She tried so hard to speak English but it just did not come out right. It was really funny. A crowd gathered to see what was going on, but Koby just walked off. She did not want trouble with anyone. It was her first day and already she had gotten into a fight with someone. She felt really bad. Ashley got up. She was shocked. She really did not think she would hit her. She did not even think she would say anything back to her.
"Lets go," she pouted.
Her and her date left. Craig felt relieved. It was weird having her there. Koby had a feeling something had happened.
"What was that about?" Koby asked.
They ordered and went sit down to wait. Craig told her everything that had happened to him.
"Elle est jolie, quoi," Koby stopped herself, "Um she is pretty."
Craig just laughed. Koby gave him a mean look. Then they both started to laugh. She really did not like the fact that she could not speak any English well. They got their food and went out to the car. Joey was turned around talking to Angie when they got there.
"Well it is about time you got here," Joey said. "Sorry Joey,"
Craig looked at him, "We had a run in with Ashley."
"I saw she came out upset," Joey stated, "What happened?"
"Koby hit her and she left," Craig finished telling him what transpired.
"Koby," Joey looked at her, "I am glad you stood up for yourself."
"Oui, mais quand même!," Koby stopped herself again, "Oui, but still, I was wrong."
Joey looked at her, "No you weren't at least you knew she was wrong in saying that about you."
Craig looked at Koby, "Joey if you don't mind could we please not talk about it?"
"Sure whatever Craig," Joey said.
Angie asked, "Why doesn't Ashley come over any more?"
"Well you see Angie we aren't friends any more," Craig explained.
"Manny is still your friend right?" Angie asked.
"Yes but she moved," Craig answered.
"I liked her, she let me watch TV with you guys," Angie continued.
"I really don't think that Craig would like to talk about this," Joey interrupted. Craig replied,
"It's fine."
"She was fat,"Angie giggled.
"Do you remember when Emma's mom had baby Jack?" Craig asked her.
"Yes, is Manny having Jack too?" Angie asked.
Craig smiled, "No but she is having a baby."
"Well can I play with it?" Angie asked.
"Any time you want," Craig replied.
"Well we are home any ways," Joey stated.
"Good," She said, "Finally no more riding. I was starting to get sick."
They laughed, and unpacked her things into Craig's old room instead of the garage. It was best that way.
"Tomorrow we will fix up your room better," Craig said, "Just get you some sleep."
"Je vous remercie beaucoup," She smiled, "Um, sorry, Thank you very much."
"Before you get to bed would you like something to drink?" Craig asked.
"Oui, merci, um yes thank you," she was embarrassed that she could barely speak English much less her French getting in the way.
Craig went to the kitchen and brought up some water. He walked in on her while she was undressing. He just stood there staring until he caught himself and looked away. Before she could see him the phone rang and he went to answer it. She turned around and unpacked her sheets and blankets to start off. She made her bed and walked out of the room.
She met up with Craig in the hall. He was upset about something. She took the glass of water out of his hands. She passed her hand over his face as a way of showing he could trust her.
"Craig," she asked," What is it?"
"Nothing," he answered, "that was just Manny on the phone. She made it to her grandparents. "
"Manny as in," she shook her head knowing, "Merci de votre confiance. I mean thank you for trusting me."
"Well come on time to get to fixing your bed," Craig smiled.
"No need Craig," she remarked, "I already did it."
"You are fast," Craig smirked.
"Oui, um, yes," she looked at him, "I must remember not to try and talk fast my English and French will mix up."
"Well get to bed," Craig said.
"Yes, hey I got it right," she got excited, "well I am tired so lets get some sleep."
"Well good night," Craig looked at her.
"Hey, Craig, do you think I could maybe just got with you tomorrow and finish this tonight?" she asked.
"Sure I don't see any problems with that," Craig answered.
He turned and walked away. Koby looked at him thinking to herself how horrible he must feel. She walked back into her room. She unpacked some clothes and some different things to fix up her room. She was tired, so she lay on her bed, and went to sleep almost immediately
