"Why did you call me? And shouldn't you be in school?" I say to Miranda.

"No, I'm not going back to school for the rest of the week. I'm gonna watch Lily, keep and eye on her you know?" she says. Sadly, she seems like a better girlfriend to Lily then I ever was.

"Wow, you sound like a great girlfriend." I say monotonously.

She scoffs, "I'm not her girlfriend, it's not even like that." she says disgustedly like that's so off the scale.

I roll my eyes, "Oh yeah, I remembered you tried to tell me that."

"Well, I'm gonna tell you now: she kissed me. It didn't mean a thing. You weren't here, I'm her best friend. It's only logical that she would try to kiss me."

I sigh tiredly, "Anything else?"

She growls angrily, "No, I just figured you'd like to know that she's doing great. She should be awake by Monday, if not earlier."

"That it?" I say.

"No." she pauses, "There's something about you being there and her being here that you don't understand--"

I shake my head, "Don't talk to me about this."

"Well, I am. Lily's like my sister, I don't wanna see her in pain--"

"And that's exactly what I give her right?" I say knowing that the answer's gonna be yes.

"Sometimes yes but I've also known the joy and love you've given her. The good times overpower the bad." she sighs then continues, "After this, I don't want her to be hurt or in pain by you ever again. So I'm gonna ask you to make a decision for her sake. Decide if you love her enough to be with her while you're there. Decide if you can handle the distance."

I think about her words for a second. Do I even know I even know if I can handle this? "Does it always take an ex-girlfriend's mistress to put everything in perspective?" I say making a joke to lighten my mood as well as hers.

She lets out a weak laugh, "I'm not a mistress. Well, not for your girlfriend." she laughs, "Sorry, ex-girlfriend."

I laugh, "So you're actually funny. Listen, I'm sorry for being a bitch. I just really wish I could be there..." I trail off getting sad.

"I'm sure Lily would want you here. We probably wouldn't be in this if you were so I wish you were here too." she says sincerely, I can since it.

I smile, "Well, listen, I'm actually in school right now so..."

"Yeah, yeah, sorry. I'll let you go but I'll definitely keep you updated." she says.

"Okay." I say smiling, "Later."

"Bye-bye." she says as I close the cell phone. Why was I such a bitch to her again? I can't remember... I am such an asshole sometimes. Oh, wait, her and Lily did kiss... but I'm not really good at holding grudges. That's a lie, I can hold a grudge until the end of time. Anyway, I guess while I'm in here I might as well call Erika to see if she'll give me a ride.

I open my cell and look for Erika in my phone book. Found her; I press call, "Hello."

She says picking up her phone, "Hey."

"Hi..." she says hesitantly.

"Let me guess you forgot who I was?" I say.

"Oh, no! It's Roxy, right?"

I shake my head while smiling, "No, no it's too late now. I'm so hurt. I should be fresh in your head."

"I'm sorry, the number through me off—wait, aren't you in school? What school do you go to?" she finally asks.

"King High but I mean, who really needs school?" I say blowing air out of my mouth.

She laughs, "Um, everyone."

"Well, that's everyone not me so I guess I get a get out of jail free card." I say trying to be funny.

She laughs, "Bad girl, hmm?"

"Yeah, just a little."

She gives me a light laugh, "Well why are you calling me?"

"I was actually wondering if you could take me to work... after school."

"Um, yesterday you had a car or was I just dreaming that?"

I shake my head, "No, I had a car but my mom said I can't drive it right now because she's afraid I might kill myself."

"What?"

"Yeah, I don't know, that logic makes since to my mom and my mom only. So will you take me?" I ask, "Please, pretty please. I can pay you gas money if you want."

"No."

Damn, simple and to the point, "Ugh, okay I guess I'll get this pervert to take--"

"I meant no to the gas thing. You don't need to pay me for gas, I'll take you for free."

I smile, "Is my company enough?"

"For now." she says, I think she's trying to be flirty.

I laugh, "For now? Okay, fine with me. So, um will you pick me up from school at 3:30?"

"So you get out at three?" Erika asks.

"Nope. I take thirty minutes to mingle and change into my outfit."

"You could always change in my car." she says again being flirty, man, she's on a roll today.

"I could."

Erika laughs, "I'll pick you up. Just call me when you're ready."

I nod, "Okay, I'll call you later. I guess I better get back to class, I've been in the bathroom for the past twenty minutes. They probably think I have diarrhea or something."

Erika laughs, "Gross. Alright, call me later."

"Bye." I say and she says the same then we hang up.

I don't like Erika, she's just someone new to flirt with and plus she's totally cute but I could never. First, because I'm so worried about Lily; I can't even breath without thinking about her. Secondly, because I know I would wind up hurting her. And lastly, I think I might be slowly falling for--

Knock, knock, "Someone in there?"

"Yeah!" I yell through the stall then slide my phone in my pocket. I open the stall door and see Rachel standing there.

She smiles at me, "Who were you talking to?"

I roll my eyes and walk over to the sink where she is, "When did you get here?"

She looks into the mirror to do her eyeliner while talking to me, "Like an hour ago. Mom told us to come to school.. so you wouldn't be alone."

I look at her in the mirror, "Well, you are gonna be alone, I'm getting a ride from Erika. She's taking me to work."

After Rachel applies her eyeliner she blinks at herself to make sure she's comfortable. She turns around to me, "Hmm, how do you think Lily will feel about that one?"

:::::A/N:::::

Royla... sounds pretty cool, hmmm maybe. or maybe even Rashley? "Rashley Ashley, right?"

soooo Rachel struck a cord with roxy, how do u think that will go? not too well hmm? Roxy's very composed... i'm lying.
