Later in the week, I'm sitting in math class, bored as hell. I'm writing my name over and over on my notebook when I should be asking myself, what is the square root of pie and cubed eighty million?

Suddenly, just when I start to go into a stupor, a piece of paper is thrown on my desk from behind me. As quietly and minutely as possible, I open the paper.

I'm bored as hell. You? -Carrie

I smile to myself and scrawl a reply, before passing it behind my back to her.

Same here. I hate math, but not as much as history. -Marion

A minute later, the note is back.

So, judging by your grudgingly pleasant mood, you and Indiana Jones are no longer scrapping? -C

Nope, and I'm rather proud we were able to get over ourselves. -M

You were the one who thought your life was under a hostile takeover, not him. -C

Maybe so, but he didn't like me much either. -M

But now he does! -C

Well, I guess. But its more of an acquaintance like relationship. Not particularly close. -M

That's what you say now...-C

I barely know anything about him! We just met! -M

Who cares? He's cute, isn't he? -C

Only slightly. And I wouldn't call it cute. I would say...classically handsome. -M

Wait, he has a beard? -C

EEWWW!! NO! But... I don't know. He looks like those action heroes we read about in Robin Hood and whatnot. -M

Except he's a nerdy archaeology professor. -C

Of course. -M

So, have you two talked since the suds incident? -C

Well, yeah! We've had a few friendly conversations. -M

But I mean like really talked. Like...close friend conversations. -C

Not really. I've got a busy life Carrie! My father's losing it, I'm losing it, I don't need another distraction. -M

Please spare me from the dramatics. Just get close to him. He may prove to be a valuable friend. -C

And you won't have a problem with it if I start ignoring you completely because I've got him? -M

Well, then I'll just have to kill both of you. Don't get in too deep, Marion. Lord knows what would happen to the world if Marion Ravenwood fell in love! -C

Whoa there!! I'm not falling in love any time soon! Not even getting into a dating relationship! Just friends! -M

You just wait, my pallie. -C

I crumple the note up as the bell rings, dashing out the door and running home.

I re-read the note several times when I get to my room, completely analyzing it.

I come to a conclusion.

My best friend is completely insane.

Just wanted to explain why I only have two shorts up today. I suck, but seeing as I've been do me so well, please feel free to forgive me. I am working on new shorts, but I'm having a spout of writers block today and my muse will not permit me to write another short. Sorry!
