This was now officially her favorite spot. Why? Because no one came out to bother her, and if anyone did, it was Sully. He was a reall nice guy, although he was pretty different. Where he had class and style, she had headphone. Where he had a future, she didn't.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone walk towards her. At first she thought it was Sully, but when she saw a flash of long dark hair her hopes crashed. "Are you lost?" Alex asked the girl.
The girl, Manny Santos, looked nervous. Most people were when they confronted her. "Uh, Alex? Can I talk to you?"
"As long as you stay away from...." Alex paused. Was she just about to refer to Sully as her boyfriend. "...my guy friends."
It looked like the comment stung. "Emma told me something, and I figured I should talk to you."
"Emma? As in Emma Nelson?"
"Yeah. We're not.... friends really anymore. But, She told me that you and Sully Paquet were dating."
Alex felt her hand form into a fist. "First, we're not. Second, that's none of her damn buisness."
Manny looked scared, and she should be, but she still contuined. "I'm just worried. I used to date Sully-"
"Who was he dating at the time?"
"No one, but I admit- I have made mistakes. I went for guys that didn't love me back. When I dated Sully, he wasn't interested in me, he was interested in my body."
"I'm NOT dating him."
"I'm not saying you are, but just if you want to, be careful. Like I said, I made mistakes too, and I don't want to see anyone else hurt." Manny stood up. "If you ever need anyone to talk to about it, you can talk to me."
"Emma can use your "Don't be a slut" lecture even more then I can."
Manny looked down. "I know." She whispered, and then left. This was no longer her favorite spot.
