Zam and Viv notice that I look a little
upset. "What's wrong?" Zam ask.
"Seeing anyone kiss her would make me
sick, but him kissing anyone..."I shake
my head, I won't cry, not now, but I
can't help wishing I was in her place.
I guess that's just what love does to
you, not to mention she's a bitch
anyway.
"Let's ride," Viv gets on her bike, "Be
happy, you were fine before, don't get
upset about it." She wrinkles her nose,
Yuck."
We all get on our bikes, and head in
direction of the Corner Store. The
store is at the corner of the street,
two buildings before it is the Scoop,
the ice-cream place. There's a bike
rack out front, already half full. We
put our bikes there and walk in. The
cashier is Andy, he's four years older
then me and he's funny. His father, Mr.
Titus, owns the store. Andy laughs, and
someone laughs with him.
"I know that laugh," I stage-whisper to
Viv. "Zac!" I walk up behind him and
poke him.
"Hey!" he makes one of his weird faces
and smiles, "Hi! How are you? Whatcha'
doin'?" he grins, talking quickly in a
strange voice.
"I'm fine, how are you? Anything
interesting happening today?" I talk in
another strange accent. We're just
weird, we talk and act strange all the
time, Shannon calls it "hyper active,"
it seems to run in his family, and its
fun and funny.
"I thought you were home, with Tay. Is
Dad home yet?" he asks.
"I was home, but I left the minute Sara
got there. No, when I left Dad wasn't
home." I reply.
Zac looks annoyed. "Sara? Oh, good, now
I'm defiantly not going home." He
pretends to gag, "She doesn't like me, I
don't like her, or being ignored,
either, and I don't want to see
anything..." he looks disgusted. Rick
walks up. He smiles and takes a sip of
Snapple "Rain'
"What don't you want to see, Zac?" he
laughs. "Sara trying to screw my
brother. She won't leave him alone, I
hope he doesn't do anything with her..."
Zac looks serious now.
I'm going to be blunt-although Sara is a
year younger than Tay, he's a virgin,
and she's not.
Rick looks a little sick, "Oh, well,
I'm going over there anyway."
"Good luck," Zam sighs. Rick looks a
little sad, "Some best friend, I'm
being dumped for a girl." Andy chimes
in, "And a bitch at that. Girls should
hang out with the guy's friends, and
vise versa, it always works better that
way."
Rick nods in strong agreement. His
girl, Julie, is friends with me and Tay,
and the rest of Rick's crew. I nod, I
think Andy's right. I think what I
thought before, it's good that me and
Taylor are friends. You're more likely
to go together better if there are more
than just romantic ties, and if your
relationship falls apart, you're more
likely to stay friends if you were
before you started dating. I pinch
myself and make myself wake up from my
daydreams.
