| . The next day we find Jennifer roaming the halls just before homeroom the next day. She�s chatting with friends and seemingly happy on the out side. But inside she was feeling somewhat upset�** ho I can�t believe this. I finally get him to talk to me�then he�s not here. ** �Hey, earth to jenn? Are you there?� �Huh?� � You spaced out for a second.� This, by the way, is a mutual friend of both David and Jennifer. Her name is Nicole, One of the smartest, coolest and wildest people in the freshmen class. �Oh sorry. I was just thinking about some thing.� � Ya mean someone right?� **Damn she�s good. ** �No. I was thinking about the state meet.� � Sure anyway, how�d you and DAVID do on your project last night?� ��Oh uh. We did ok. Figured out which mineral were doing.� � Oh really? Which one?� � Yeah rose quartz, David said he likes it because it�s kinda of a reddish pink color which symbolizes passion and love.� She said with a dreamy sound in her voice. � Oh really? Sounds corny to me.� Now of course in every story, you must have a villain, rival, nemesis, or something like that. And Tommy Connrule fit that description perfectly. � You wouldn�t know anything about something truly philosophical like that.� Nicole hissed rather grimly. � Now now Nicole. Don�t get all snotty with me. I may start to like you.� Tommy said this with A LOT of sarcasm. � Hey jenn. I gotta go. Talk to you later ok?� with a nod from Jennifer, Nicole stomped down the hall. � Ohh poor Nicole. She must have had to change her diaper.� Tommy said in a mock baby voice. � Leave her alone Tommy. She�s one of my best friends.� � So don�t mean I gotta pretend to like her.� �What do you mean by that?� �That�s kinda what I wanna talk to you about.� **********************************************************************Next day******************************************************* ** Hmm.i wonder if she�ll talk to me today at school. Is she even here today? Wonder if she�ll be at Stan�s party Saturday? ** � Hey David.� � Oh hey Nicole. What�s up?� � Nothing much, normal stuff.� �Cool. You going to the party Saturday?� � Yeah. I�d never miss one of Stan�s parties.� � Yeah, he knows how to throw a party alright.� � Hey David, can I ask ya something?� �Shoot.� � You still like jenn?� � Maybe, why?� � Well if so just forget it ok? Trust me. David had a puzzled look on his face.. � Just trust me ok? � � Ok, I trust you.� David spent the rest of the day in a kind of suspended shock. He didn�t know what to do or anything. He was like a robot. Not even talking to matt could cheer him up. � Dave man, you alright? You look like something�s wrong.� � I don�t know. I guess something Nicole told me has got me in shock.� � What about?� � Huh� oh nothing. Don�t wanna talk bout it.� � If you say so man.� � I do.� And the 2 of them spent the next 40 minutes staring at the ground and just ignoring each other. t |
