"Great, effing great," Bry said He looked at Tiff "Do ya think you could not make it so dudes want to beat the snot outtato him "What’s so funny, Sims?"

"It’s just that you’re sorta our tank"

Terran nodded and I put my hand in my face "No WoW talk, Alex"

"What, Hart?"

Never mind Brother

"It’s like World of Warcraft The tank takes the dae so the other players can survive You’re our tank" John

I could tell fro beat up every tiether wasn’t a point of pride

"Argh!" Bry kinda yelled

Mia sla and he looked at her as she cauy could learn to love

"It’s okay, she’s the only girl in a house full of boys How else does she survive?" she asked him, then put her perfectly manicured hand on his arm and he was lost

"She’s just so stubborn" he said, staring at her

Tiff began waving her arht here! I’ht here, Bry And you’re pretty GD stubborn yourself, jackass"

Bry finally woke frolared at her

"Crap!" Jade said, alar for some Psychotic Event to appear

Like usual

I didn’t see anything Huh

"It’s my backpack! I left it at Tulle’s!"

"What?" Mia and Sophie said together I could tell that they thought she had gone temporarily insane

Jade wavered Finally, she relented "Yeah I just got distracted by the cops showing up and not finding that stupid sample" She huffed in exasperation

Tiff asked, "What’s the big deal? That pink thing?"

"That pink thing!" Sophie yelled "It’s a Coach, fashion-impaired"

Tiff narrowed her eyes on Sophie "Ya know," she began, snapping her gum, "you’d do well in hoodies No one needs a zoo lesson"

Oh shit

Sophie was partial to ani cheetah Sophie walked over to Tiff, teetering expertly on her high-heeled boots (designer, I was sure) "A girl that wears hoodies to school and does not, by God, knohat a Coach purse is needs to shut her irl could misplace said purse"

Tiff had blown a bubble the size of her head and swatted it out of the way before answering Sophie "Okay, when you’re not wearing a zoo, and don’t have weapons attached to your shoes, I’onna pay attention Otherwise No"

Jonesy looked on with interest "Is this like, gonna hts?"

They looked at hied

John shook his head "Stay out of it, Jones"

"No way, I think it was just starting to get interesting"

Jade sighed, "I gotta go back into the school It has et into nificantly

Holy hell I sent Jade some hot stuff

Jones saw my face and I shot him a look

Don’t say it

He said it "Got soht up and Bry laughed

Sometimes the merit of Jonesy’s friendship was overrated

Jonesy was nodding in an exaggerated way "I knew you had it goin’ on Hart!"

Tiff piped in, "Don’t you have so, Jonesy?"

His face fell "Thanks for rerinned like a fool, really enjoying his disco toward the school with the gang close behind

"Should you leave your tin can parked like that, Mia?" Bry asked

We looked at the car, like a wind-up toy, out in the ed "We’re just here to o What will it take, five minutes?"

We walked in the double doors, a janitor at the top of the stairs,as he went He looked up Jensen, his na here" His charcoal eyes challenged ours

"I left my backpack in Miss Tulle’s roo fe would

It did He said, "Okay, run in there and get it, but the rest of ya, stay put"

We waited at the bottom of the stairs When Jade was about at the top, I saw her hand corip the s it harder Her face paled and her body shook

I had never moved so fast in my life I think I cleared four steps at a time on my way to her The janitor backed up, not sure what to do I sorta shoved him out of the way and Jade fell backward into ht sheen of sweat on her forehead

"What? Jade what’s wrong?" I asked

The group were all around me and she whispered, "Boys’ bathroo on?

"They’re hurting hi who?

"I’!" Jonesy yelled like a native before war

The janitor hollered sonored him
