SILLY LITTLE LIFE
CHAPTER EIGHT
( prompt: "I love you." )
"I don't understand boys," Pip said casually, walking beside Angel with her hands stuffed in her pockets.
Angel couldn't have agreed more, though she resigned herself to simply nodding and taking a deep pull from her cigarette.
"I mean, I have no room to complain. Race is great, of course he is, but he's confusing sometimes," Pip said, and then shrugged.
"Spot's confusing, too, sometimes," Angel said, sympathizing with her friend. "Just the other day, I swear, he looked positively livid because some new kid was sneakin' peeks at me on the way to the Distribution yard. I mean, come on, we've been through hell together. You'd think he'd quit being jealous after all this time."
Piper nodded her agreement. "Race does that sometimes, too! It's obnoxious!" she exclaimed and then took the cigarette from Angel when she offered it up. "I think all boys have an inferiority complex born in them. Honest to God."
Angel snorted. "Since when did you start using words like 'inferiority', Pip?"
"Since I started hanging around the Mouth."
"Ah. That explains so much."
Piper gave Angel a shove. "Just 'cause all of us ain't been brought up by no hoity-toity rich bitches don't mean I don't know big words!"
Angel smiled. "What does the word 'cynical' mean?"
Pip shrugged, after a moment of thought. "Dunno. You?"
Angel grinned. "I love you, Pip."
I am the worst possible person on FFn to date. :) I got you all excited for the Conlon baby, and then this. Don't you all just hate me? xDD. Well, anyways, I like this one. I thought it'd be fun to play the quote in a different direction. But don't worry, zee fluff is coming. I promise. Now I'm off to continue reading HBP ( which I've read 75 times all ready... )!
Sidenote!: Anybody else think Pip was right? Do ya think Angel's cynical? xDD I think she is, a little bit. Or, was, I guess. :) it's fun to confuse friends with big words.
CTB!
