Erica spotted me and smiled, but i didnt return one. Why should
I?

“Nice loss.” A girl’s voice whispered into my ear.
I turned around yet again, hoping it was Jessica. “Why thank you Jess.”
“Anytime big guy.” She glanced around me. “Well that must suck.”
“What sucks?”
“Erica showed up.” She gagged.
I laughed. “Well no need to worry, she’s dead to me.” I smiled.
“Whose worrying?”
“Haha, you want a drink?” I put out my arm.
“That’d be nice.” She took my arm and we walked towards the house.

“So where were you?” I poured her some beer.
“Not here.” She sipped.
“Ha ha ha, fine don’t tell me.”
“I was at my friend from a different school’s house.”
“Oh that’s cool.”
“Not really, she just told me she was dating my ex.” She laughed a little.
“Haha, no way?”
“Yes way.”
“Wow.” I couldn’t help but smile. Talking with Jess just felt so good. She’s just so care free, well sort of.
