We were bent over, trying to stop laughing.

“Aly,” Mandy said, tapping on my back, “Hey?”

I finally caught my breath and looked at her.

“Hey Mand. Whatsup?” I smiled at her.

“Nothin..what’s so funny?” she asked.

I turned to Nick, who was standing next to me, and we both started laughing again when we made eye contact.

Mandy stood in front of us, a confused look on her face.

“Aly?” she asked, poking my shoulder.

“Tom broke up with me,” I managed to get out between bursts of laughter.

Mandy’s eyes became very wide.

“OH.MY.GOD! Are you okay?” she asked.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” I said calmly.

“OK,” Mandy said, “Well, we should probably get to class…see you later Nick.”

Oh, mayn! I forgot Nick wasn’t in my english class! Oh well.

Mandy and I headed off to 3rd period.

We entered the classroom and sat in our desks, right next to eachother. Blair was on my other side, Carly behind me, Jordella in front of Mandy, and Steph was in Nick’s class.

But the rest of us had some serious talking to do.
