Fandom: Cory in the House
Genre: post-series, AU

Summary: Sophie Martinez wasn't 'America's Angel' anymore. Not that anyone still called her that, except for the occasional drunken frat boy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Cory in the House.
Author's Notes: This is up earlier than usual, I know, but I just really like this chapter and wanted to get it up. Besides, Crystalized Chaos leaves such pretty reviews. I have no willpower apparently.

Chapter Four
Sophie was walking back to her house when she called Jordan.
"Hello?"
"I'm picking up your spawn after lessons," Sophie said, quickly without thinking.
"Sophie? What?"
"No, I take that back! Forget I said that!" she pleaded.
"Sophie, shut up and breathe." Jordan instructed, "What are you talking about? You hate spending more time with Mattie than you have to."
"I think we bonded a bit earlier," Sophie reminisced, then backtracked, "But that's not the point! I know your daughter's music teacher!"
"You know Janine?" Jordan asked, surprised.
"Not her, Newt!"
"You know Newt? How?"
"Grr, he was my Newt first!" Sophie exclaimed, "I should be asking you how you know him, but I already know that!"
"Your Newt? Did you date him?" Jordan asked, "Wait, stupid question, he's older than I am."
"I did not date him." Sophie snapped, annoyed.
"You had a crush on him!" Jordan said happily, "Aww, Sophie. Good choice, he's cute."
"Shut up, Jordan."
"What? I'm not the one calling me all in a tizzy about a boy."
Jordan was enjoying this too much, Sophie decided, "I'm hanging up."
"I'm telling Newt that I know you."
"Don't!"
"Bye," Jordan sing-songed.
"I hate you," Sophie muttered to the dial-tone.
