| Author: Reena Email: [email protected] Rating: uh, average, PG15 Michael Guerin had, indeed, described it perfectly. Movies with guys they thought were hot. Talking about their boyfriends. Eating ice cream. The following is an actual excerpt of what happened in the "chick space." The Ben Affleck film had already been watched and discussed. It was confirmed among the four girls that he was a "supreme-god-babe." Only Liz Parker affirmed that Matt Damon was hotter than Ben Affleck. Maria DeLuca, Isabel Evans, and Tess Harding thought she was crazy. They were all in agreement, however, on the "eye-candy" factor that Freddie Prinze, Jr. held. It was time for more serious topics. And that required ice-cream. So, the four girls were sitting downstairs at the bar in the Crashdown, spoons in hand, passing the carton around. "Tess...what's it really like living with Chia Head?" "Maria!" "Chia Head?" "Oh, can it Liz. Come on, Tess. Fess up." "Why did you call Kyle 'Chia Head.'" The other three girls replied in unison, "His hair." "Someone started calling Kyle "Chia Head" in fifth grade." "Maria? Liz? Why are you two laughing?" "Yeah, what's so funny? We were all in class together..." "Yeah, Ma-ria...what's so funny?" "Oh, shut up, Liz. Fine. I'll tell you. I started 'Chia Head.'" "I should have known." "Come on, Isabel. You saw that hair. It just screamed, 'Cha-cha-cha-Chi-a!'" "Okay...I still don't get it." "What?!" was heard from the other three. "From the "Chia Pet" commercials?" "Um, Tess. Like, we knew you grew up with "Mr. So-not-of-this-Earth" and all, but you did watch T.V., didn't you?" "Okay. It was this terracotta animal that you would put seeds on, and water and it would grow. Then they came out with people, where the plant would grow on the heads." "Thank you for that one, Lizzie. See, Tess? Chia Head!" "But his hair-" "Maria probably scarred him for life." "Yeah, Isabel. Like you don't undo Alex's top button every time you see him." "So...I'm just trying to help his fashion out." "Well, you've scared him straight into the t-shirt section." "This coming from a girl who's guy wears like two colors." "Except for that shirt he wore at your party, Isabel." "Which shirt?" "Oh, that's right...you weren't there. It was this thing. Ugh! It totally looked like it came straight from Kyle's closet." "Maria!" "Liz. Stop with the "Maria!" I. Know. My. Name." "Well, then stop being so mean." "Mean? Mean? Puh-leeze. You get Max. Sweet, adorable, puppy-dog Max. Who knows how to dress. And Isabel...gets our version of James Bond...well, sort of..." Liz snickers as Tess and Isabel look at each other saying, "What?" "But me and Tess...yeah...we get 'Clueless Space-butt' and 'Chia Head.'" "I still think I'd take Kyle over Michael any day..." "Yeah, you would take 'The Stalker.'" "Huh?" "Nevermind." "No, Liz...I want to hear this." "Oh, no big deal, really. He just, like, followed us one evening when we were searching for clues about your guys' past." "But he's better now." "Yeah, even you have to agree with that, Maria." "Oh, don't get me wrong. I like Kyle. I really do. He's funny. And yeah, he's so not "stalker" anymore." "Kyle's really matured a lot lately." "See, Tess. You even get the Liz seal of approval." "What's that supposed to mean, Isabel?" "Okay, guys. Let's not do this. This is the first time I've ever really had friends. Can we not fight?" "Sure." "Fine." "Parker. Evans. Drop the attitude. We have ice-cream to finish and our men to bag on." "Speaking of hair, Maria. How can you call Kyle 'Chia Head' when you're dating a wet basset hound or something?" "Oh, believe me. I want the spikes back, too. But Spaceboy and his hair..." "He's protective of it." "Really?" "Oh, yeah. He's always been funny about his hair. The first time he did that spike thing, Max laughed. Let's just say, Max never commented on Michael's hair again." "I would have never guessed." "Trust me...he has complexes about the weirdest things." "Like what?" "Spiderman. Metallica. His hair. His art. The way his eggs are cooked. His books. The list just goes on and on." |
