The High School

"Yea...i just do it for the pain....No pain no gain"he said smiling back."Marilynn huh? nice name any nick names i can call you?"he asked"Like mary...or Maril...or somehting of that nature?"

She cringed. "My grandmother calls me Mary. I like Marilynn, or.." she thought for a second, as she reached into her back pocket. "Nope Just Marilynn." she grinned, pulling out a silver cigarette holder. SHe opened it, and pulled out a black clove. "I'm addicted to these things." she smiled, offering him one.

Joe's eyes widened."Where'd you get these?..I haven't had one of these....well....since I got out of juvi..."He said pulling out his lighter and lighting it taking a biiiiiiig drag, and letting it all out at once.

SHe laughed. "Can I get a light" she asked, sticking the cigarette into her mouth.

"sure here mary" he said with a wink handing her the lighter."Don't burn yourself" he said laughing.

She laughed lighting her cig, than handed it back to him. "I get them from the Cigarette Store down the street, 6 bucks a pack." she grinned and leaned on the school building.
"So Joe, what are you doing tonight?" she asked, taking a drag.

"Nothing, why?"he asked getting more interested in this girl then he thought he would. He put his lighter back in his pocket and took another large drag from his clove.

She handed him a flyer. "Im having a show behind the Pub, two blocks from here." she smiled. " You look like the kind of guy who would like what we play." she smirked blowing the smoke into the air.

~is it like after school or something?~
"I'll be there"he said with a wink."so...can you pick me up?...i kinda dont have a ride anywhere...and i live about half a mile north..."he said writing down his adress on a piece of paper and hands it to her.

*Nicole walked inside, nearly tripping over her Adios as the string hung out. She looked around to see if anyone noticed and continued walking along, stopping to talk to her friend Bubba in the main hall. She unnoticably rubbed her tummy as she spoke to him*

"Yeah sure, after i get my T-Bird fixed." she smiled. "I actually might take my van though." she took the paper.

][the show is after school, but its school time now.][

She moved her bangs, before taking another drag then looked at him. "Love your hair by the way." she smiled. "I was thinking about changing mine up a bit."

"thanks alot, i like yours too."he said.~got to go~

][rawr][

~what?...lol~

"So, when I come to get you, do I honk the horn or come to the door?" she asked with a smile. "I dont want to scare your mother, although with hair like yours, she'll probably not be to surprised." she grinned

"Just come to the door and ask for me, my parents are dead but don't worry, i got over it long ago, I live with my grandma"he said.

She dropped her cigarette on the ground, as her jaw dropped. "Im sorry." she said sadly. "My father died last year." she told him, rubbbing her neck. Then she paused and looked down at her cigarette, soaking in a puddle.
"*uck," she hissed

"Well I'll be ready when you get there."he said

(((Great, I guess I'm out since no matter what I get stuck)))

][what are you talking about ella?][
