The Whore

"So, you're dating the whore?" cried Julie as she came into the house. She was in a fit of near rage. She definatly hadn't been like that this morning. She'd been more happy and less... enraged. He knew by the way she was acting that she'd found out about him getting back together with Lyla;

"You only think she's a whore because you and Collette are tight."

Julie sighed, she knew she was biased. But not only because she was friends with Tyra, also because she was pretty sure she was kind of, maybe, definatly in love with Tim. It hurt for her to say.

Silence came next, as Julie was staring at him with big eyes and he almost broke down. "I..." he started. And of course, Coach Taylor walked in, accompanied by Tammi.

"I'm going on a bike ride." she said.

Coach Taylor replied, "Uh... cool." He was oblivious.

Tim wondered when Julie became a cyclist.

A date To R E M E M B E R

He was ready at nine. He told her ten. They were going to meet in the feild where he and Street first met Lyla. They were on their bikes, just leaving the forest. It's where they shared their first kiss. It's where he said, eww, and she laughed and ran away. He kind of forgot about her after that. Street didn't.

And that was ok, the pattern was ok... the pre-junior year pattern. It didn't work anymore. Now he had Lyla.

Did he want her?

He was there for ten, and laid out a picnic.

The date was drab, she was more uninteresting then ever, and it sounded like she was ODing on helium.

Oh god, why was he aching for somebody with half a brain?

Somebody who wasn't some sort of wannabe religous freak.

The virgin, rather then the one the virgin called a whore...

Was he in love with Julie Taylor?

(Awkward) Dreams

"Julie..." Tammi said, entering her daughters room in the middle of the night. She was done playing dumb.

Julie looked up from bed, her mom crawled in with her. She sort of nodded/mhmmed.

"Do you like Tim?" it cut straight to the point.

"Uh.. no." Julie lied, "Are you kidding me?"

She went on, "He leaves his clothes in the bathroom, and he steals from my stash of M&Ms, and he seems to have no sense of style, and his hair is messy."

But Tammi wasn't reassured. "I'm not gunna tell daddy that you have a crush, sweet pea." But she wasn't going to let her daughter date Riggins either.
