Chapter: Girl talk

It was odd for Zhalia. She wasn't used to being with Sophie alone. They weren't best friends, and they barely had anything in common. But barely. One thing they liked to both do was discuss boys, but neither of them would admit it.

"How are you? Honestly and no sugar coating." Zhalia's opening words made Sophie aware of how thirsty she was.

"Thirsty." A glass of water was given to the bed ridden girl. Zhalia delicately sat on the end of the bed. Her eyes sparkled with mischief.

"Sooo, what did Lok say?" Sophie nearly choked.

"Why do you ask?"

"It is obvious you two have a thing going. He was terrified at the thought of losing you. He prayed, and now he has to go to Church with you for a month. I never saw him cry, not even when Wind and Rassamov beat him up." Sophie remembered that. It was a normal day; Scarlet was being a bitch, Shauna was kicking Sophie in the shins, the usual. But Wind and Rassamov came out of nowhere and tore Sophie away, throwing her to the ground. Susan pinned her arms and legs while Scarlet slapped Sophie continuously.

Lok would have rode in like a knight in shining armor, but Wind pinned him against the wall, and Rassamov was punching him in the stomach all the while muttering,

"Bet-ya-wish-that-we-weren't-kicked-off-the-team." Montehue came in and tore Susan off of Sophie. Sophie flipped Scarlet to the ground. The strawberry head then ran over, took Rassamov's fist, and flipped him too. She tapped him in the temple to knock him out. Wind disappeared, leaving Lok hacking violently. Blood had started to come up. But of course, the principle didn't dare punish Scarlet. No instead Sophie was punished for flipping her and Rassamov over.

"I remember that." Sophie murmured.

"Who wouldn't? It was the first time you had ever shown any violence. You got to do the saving." A small smile graced Sophie's lips. "So, Sophie, you still haven't told me what Lok said to you." A blushed crept on the girl in questions face.

"Well-he-uh...he said he blamed himself, and he talked about his dead friend. He also mentioned how much he cared about me, so..." Sophie let her voice drop. Zhalia might have been kick ass, but she was still a girl.

"What did he say? Come on, details!" Sophie giggled. She had never seen Zhalia like this.

"Well, he said that he failed me, couldn't bear to lose me, and that he lo- me." Strange as it seems, Zhalia laughed with delight.

"I knew it! Lok loves you! Ha! Stick that in your juice box and suck on it, Scarlet!" Sophie flinched at the mention of Scarlet, but her fear lasted only a nanosecond.

"What do you mean?" the pale girl asked.

"Fia, I'm calling you Fia, Scar wants Lok. She wants him to love her. She was trying to get rid of you tonight or last night, depending on technicalities. But he loves you. So if he loves you, she'll never be able to have him." Sophie absorbed this information like a sponge.

"Besides, now Dante owes me fifty bucks! Loser!" Hey, lack of sleep made Zhalia a crazy person.

"You bet on my love life!?" Zhalia nodded offhandedly.

"Well, Dante said you two were never going to admit your feelings. I said you were. So we made a bet." Sophie caught a loop hole.

"I still haven't admitted how I feel." Zhalia looked at her sharply.

"You do like him, don't you?" From outside the room, you could hear a high pitched squeal.

Ha! Done! Short, but to the point. So anyhow, yeah a storm is supposed to be really bad around here so all of St. Johns county schools are closing. It was picture day and I was going to canter. And I did all my essays that were due today. Oh well, the characters aren't on break anymore.

Sophie: Will you find out what I said?

Lok: What is going to happen at school?

Zhalia: Will Scarlet ever take a hint?

Dante: All for next time! Please review or they're won't be a next time!
