The Seed Is Planted
In high school things are very problematical. To be accepted you have to have all of the following things: money, good looks, humor, and if you're a girl a boyfriend and if you're a guy a girlfriend. I am the kind that needs a girlfriend, and technically after our Cahill 'Truth or Dare' game I had one. I also had all of the other requirements one needs to be considered popular, and therefore I was.
My so-called girlfriends name was Amy Cahill; we had become that during the game. But as I walked throughout the halls of my high school on that auspicious day I wished that I didn't have one and this bro-ha-ha would not have happened.
I was walking and she stopped me. I was completely set on getting to my destination and then I saw a figure in a red Prada sweater dress with black jeans underneath and red and black boots.
"Hey Ian!" it said
I documented the divine voice of Colette Anastasia Swanson-Garcia Shapiro.
"Hey Anya," I responded with a sudden recognition
"How's it goin'?" she asked
"Natalie and I are fine, we're living well without Isabel and Vikram on our own" I told her
"And how's your social life? You know the major things you need to have to be popular! Do you have them all? Did you finally get one? You know a-"
"Girlfriend?" I completed for her "Well-"I started to tell her when Amy bounded up to me
"Hey," she said with her arms around my neck, and that explained it
Anya looked at me as if to say seriously what's going on? But when she saw my face she saw the seriousness.
"Wow," Anya murmured
Amy finally noticed that Anya was there "Hi Anya!" she said, her voice full of merriment
"Hi!" Anya said back to her with mock merriment "Are you and Ian like…?"
I said "Well…" at the same time Amy said "Yes" with all the buoyancy in all humanity.
"Well," Anya understood with shock "Isn't that….." she rummage around her mind for the word "Interesting"
"Well, I'm on my way to my next class" I said
"Which is?" Anya inquired
"Science 3"
"Aww" Amy pouted "Mine is Spanish 5"
"Well isn't that a pity?" Anya shot back with her teeth clenched. Then she turned to me and said "Good. My next class is Science 3; I'll show you how to get there"
Then she grabbed my arm and dragged me to Science 3.
