"I doubt it. Maybe they are just too shy to come out and say it." Jason continues to play his PS2.
Morgan growls. "I don't care! It's been two weeks and they still haven't told us."
"Babe, maybe they need more time." He winks at her.
She kicks him in the back, while she sits on the bed behind him.
"HEY!" He yells. "I didn't invite you over so you can beat me!"
She rolls her eyes.
"Hey guys." Victoria walks in. Sitting next to Morgan. "So want game did you decide to play?"
Morgan studies her.
"Oh nothing big. Just Ratchet and Clank." He presses some buttons.
She nods. "Cool." She sees Morgan staring at her in the corner of her eye. "Something wrong?"
"Oh nothing." Morgan shakes her head.
"Oh good. I thought for a moment-" Victoria goes to say when Morgan snatches her arm. Pulling her outside the room.
"Hey guys?" Gabe says as he walks past Morgan pulling on Victoria's arm.
"Don't mind them. Just girl stuff." Jason answers to him. Not taking his eyes off the TV.
"Ahh. Okay." Gabe sits next to him.
"Tell me." Morgan crosses her arms.
Victoria looks at her confused. "Huh?"
"Don't play dumb. I know you two have been going out." Morgan sighs. "Look I'm not judging. I get it. Gabes cute."
Victoria's face turns red. Her mouth open but no words come out.
"Hello girls." Jason's mother walks by them with some laundry in her hands.
Morgan smiles at her.
"Something wrong dear?" Jason's mom looks at Victoria confused.
"Period. She bleed through." Morgan grabs Victoria's arm. "We'll be right back!" She walks off.
"Oh okay!" Jason's mom nods.
*Stacy's house*
"All I'm saying is that she shouldn't have expected to work here if she didn't know English!" Stacy's mom yells in the other room.
"Ugh!" Stacy slams her door shut. "I hate parents."
"Oh tell me about it! My dad last week told me that I won't be getting my $2,000 every month! Instead I'm only getting $1,050! The nerve of that man!" Serena complains as she paints her nails.
Stacy falls on her bed. "Yeah, whatever." She flips through her magazine.
Sofia stares out the window. Not saying a word.
"What's with you?" Serena asks curious.
Sofia smiles. "Oh nothing!"
"Who cares! My life is awful! So who cares if she doesn't feel well" Stacy rolls her eyes. "She's probably pregnant again. Maybe this time daddy will let you keep it." She winks at Sofia.
Sofia stands. Tears forming in her eyes. "I'm going to go home. Bye" She grabs her purse before heading out.
"Such a drag. Oh! Look at these shoes!" Stacy points at some high heels.
"Damn! So pretty!" Serena looks at them too.
*Outside*
Sofia walks down the sidewalk. Holding her arms. "Bitches!" She whispers under her breath. "AHH!" She trips and falls on her chest. "Ow!"
"Hey. Are you okay?"
Sofia looks up to see a girl standing there. "Oh yeah."
The girl holds out her hand. "Here." Her hair was in a ponytail. Strands of her light brown hair in her face. Her camel skin sparkled in the sun, since sweat was running down it.
Sofia takes her hand. "Thanks."
"No problem." She notices Sofia's swollen eyes. "Hey, do you need-"
"I'm fine. Thank you for helping me up. Bye." Sofia walks off before the girl could ask any more questions.
"Weird." The girl sighs as she watches Sofia walk off.
"Hey you coming in?!" Mr. Ham(Deck) stands in the doorway.
"Yeah!" She looks back at Sofia. "Coming dad!" She runs to him.
*Outside Jason's and Gabe's house*
"I'm telling you. Nothing happened." Victoria tries to convince Morgan.
Morgan shakes her head. "I saw you kiss his cheek."
"Ugh! I did it to be nice. It meant nothing!" Victoria sighs. "Why do you care all of a sudden?"
Morgan sighs. "I guess I just am worried about you. I mean after all we are sis-" She stops. Looking away. "Look, if you honestly don't want me to ask anymore just tell me right now to leave it alone and I..." She takes a deep breath as she looks at her. "I promise to drop it. Okay?"
"Okay." Victoria hugs her. "Sister!"
Morgan laughs. "Oh shut it!"
"Hey les-"
"Finish that and I will hurt you." Morgan glares at Jason as he walks through the backdoor.
"Sorry!" He puts his hands up.
Gabe shakes his head. "Hey my mom asked if you needed a tampon?"
"Ahh. Woman hood. The joys of it." Jason smiles.
Victoria laughs. "Yeah. I'll go see her." She walks in.
Morgan goes to walk inside but stops next to Jason. "Just so you know. Us "woman" only have to suffer once a month while you "men" also have balls that can get hurt any moment." She winks at him. "So good luck." She walks inside.
"Can you not piss her off today?" Gabe shakes his head.
Jason shrugs. "She loves the challenges I give her. That's why our love is strong."
"Sure. Keep believing that." Gabe walks past him.
*Monday*
"Okay class. I know you guys have to take a test right now but I have to introduce our new student." Mr. Ham puts his marker down. "Miss Hams?"
"Dad.." She rubs her face. She stands. "Hello. I'm Brianna Ham. But you can call me Bri for short." She looks at her father. "May I sit down?"
He nods. "Yes."
She sits down. A little angry.
*At the lockers*
"So new girl huh? Got a new crush now?" Gabe asks Jason.
He shakes his head. "Nah. I'm taken." He shuts his locker. "Hey babe." He says to Morgan as she passes by.
"Idiot." She rolls her eyes.
Victoria laughs as she walks beside Morgan.
"Yeah. I can feel the love coming off you two." Gabe chuckles.
Morgan and Victoria walk by Bri, who was having trouble with her locker.
"Should we help her?" Morgan whispers.
Victoria stops. "Need help?"
"Yeah." Bri laughs. "I always hated these things." She steps back.
"What's your number?" Victoria asks.
"Oh um. 444. 58. 79." Bri answers.
Victoria gets the locker open. "There."
"Thanks." Bri puts her heavy books inside. "Bri." She smiles at Victoria.
"Victoria. Vic for short." Victoria smiles back.
Morgan stands back. Staring at the other kids.
"That's Morgan. She doesn't like people." Victoria whispers.
Morgan laughs. "I can hear you."
"What? You don't" Victoria smiled.
"True." Morgan nods at Bri. "Don't worry. I had trouble with my locker as well on my first day."
"Which was about a month ago?" Victoria thinks for a moment.
"Yep." Morgan nods.
Sofia walks past them.
"Hey I know her." Bri tells them.
"Sofia? How?" Victoria looks at her confused.
"So that's her name. I met her last weekend. She fell in front of my house. I hope shes okay." Bri stares at her worried.
Sofia walks up to Stacy and Serena. "Hey."
"What happen to you? Did you forget your knee pads?" Stacy laughs as she points to Sofia's bruised knees.
Sofia covers her knees with her books.
Serena giggles. "What a slut!"
"God I hate when they pick on her." Victoria sighs.
Morgan nods. "Honestly she could leave."
They both notice Bri walking up to Stacy.
"Oh no.." Victoria walks behind Bri.
Morgan rushes to them. "What the hell are you doing?"
Bri ignores them. "Hey. Are you okay?" She asks turning Sofia around.
Sofia looks surprised at the three girls standing there. "Um.."
"Excuse me but who the hell are-" Stacy begins to say when Bri cuts her off.
"Hey if you want you can join me at my locker. I don't mind." Bri smiles at Sofia.
Sofia looks at Morgan and Victoria.
Victoria notices Sofia's swollen eyes. "Morgan.." She whispers.
"I see.." Morgan whispers back.
Stacy goes to say something but this time Morgan grabs Sofia. "You know. Shes right. We have like the perfect spot for you in our group." She walks off with her.
Bri and Victoria follow her.
"What the hell just happened?" Stacy slams her locker door.
Serena shakes her head. "Oh she has the worst coming to her." She crosses her arms. "That bitch.."
