After school I tried to RUN as fast as I could down to the parking lot where my older sister would pick me up, but trust me, tight blue skirts were NOT made for running in. At least it was semi-long, so I didn't get TOO many catcalls.

            "Lana! Hey-LANA!"

            shit, not again! I thought desperately, trying to pretend I hadn't heard Josh.

            "Lana, STOP!" cried Josh, putting a hand on my shoulder and spinning me around. But him being at least 20 pounds heavier than me, I spun around quite a few times before stopping, dazed, in front of him. Josh laughed at my state, and brushed some hairs out of my eyes.

            "You're so cute when you're disgrunt- disgrunt- confused!" said Josh, his smile faded for a second when he tried to think of a word for "confused". Ha. What an idiot.

            "You're cute all the time," I heard my voice coo, and I was disgusted. where did that come from? I thought disgustedly. Just playing the part, dearie replied a voice in my head, disappearing from sight. Well, don't do it again! I thought sternly after it, then turned my attention to Josh.

            "Thanks, baby. So…do you wanna do something today? Maybe-go bowling? Or-swimming?" he grinned seductively at me. I wanted to barf.

            "Uuuuuuuuuh…no," I said, hardly able to look at him. "I-uh-have homework." I couldn't help looking up to the face of astonishment spreading across Josh's features.

            "Homework?! Lana, are you crazy? Homework is for-for squares!" he cried.

            "Actually, hon, being the most popular girl in school, I have to live up to everyone's expectations of me, don't I? And that includes getting the best grades! And without homework, I can't do that, can I? And if I don't live up to the expectations then I'd be revoked as the most popular girl in school and you couldn't date me anymore! Think about that, Joshie." I said sweetly, patting the side of his face and turning to the parking lot, but not before seeing his look of utter confusion.

            "Uuuuuuuh…" I turned around.

            "Oh, and just so you know-no one says 'squares' anymore, ok, dear?" and with that, I turned and ran as fast as my skirt would let me, though not tripping once.

            I live for moments like those.
