             "Someone like me?" I questioned,trying to not show that I was hurt.

            Honestly I didn't like Isaac. OK I did but in a purely platonic way. He was like the brother I never had and it was no secret that Dan also thought so.

               So seeing Scott here, accusing me of harbouring amorous feelings towards his friend was hilarious but him thinking that I was not worthy of someone was not.

               "Yes." Scott said "Plain,average,do gooder,teacher's pet and one who thinks she's perfect and can do no  wrong..."

                "Good to know that's what you think of me." I interrupted, holding my right hand up."I do like Isaac,but in a purely platonic way not that it's part of your business. As for wasting my time here I am not,and you of all people should know that since you are his best friend. Not all the people who help you out want to jump your bones McAllister. Some do it because it's the right thing to do. It's called humanity try it sometime."

                 I honestly didn't know where I got the courage from but I was on the roll and I liked it. I embraced it and pushed him away gently saying," the fact that you rock a lot of colors doesn't mean that green is a good color on you McAllister. "

                  I then escaped.

  
                              . . . . . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

                    The next day I was so jumpy. It seemed to me that every black haired guy was Scott.

                    "Okay girlie,spill!" Liza said,tired of my shifty behavior.

                     I was then faced with the angry faces of  three teenage girls.

                     Resigned to my fate,I told my story.

                     "Wow." Liza said thoughtfully "first Scott,then Isaac,now Scott. Personally I think Scott likes you."

                      "No he doesn't," I rolled my eyes "even if he does that's a weird way of showing it. But I don't even want a boyfriend."

                        "What's wrong with having one?" Nicci asked offended.

                          I then realized that I had said the last word in an offensive way. "Nothing." I said hurriedly. "I just have a lot on my plate. I don't think I'll have enough attention to give to a person you know. Speaking of boyfriends,how're things going with Luke?"

                          "Great now." Nicci said, "I just didn't like how he kept putting his football first and our relationship second so I think I get you Tia."

                            I smiled at her and she returned it. I was surprised when the smile grew and realized that she was looking behind me.

                             Luke.

                              I turned and saw him walking towards our table with his total attention on Nicci. I looked at the two of them and exchanged a secretive smile with Liza. They were totally enamoured with each other.

                              "Hey babes," he said sitting down beside her "ladies."

                               "Hey Luke." We replied. We then left the table,smirking when the love birds didn't notice our absence.
