Thanks for allowing me to use your actual names everybody, I appreciate it.
Oh, Ferretchuker, one thing: Please PLEASE don't call it HDC X, that would be horridly lame.
At school, Mahoney and James arrive in the parking lot, they start walking down the sidewalk and proceed into the school, they are about to enter the cafeteria which is where everyone gathers in the morning on cold days when James stops.
James: Question.
Mahoney: What's that?
James: Did Mr. Keller give us homework?
Mahoney: Yeah.
James: What was it?
Mahoney: We had to bring in a completed story.
James: Typed?
Mahoney: Yeah.
James: Shit... I'm gonna go to the library then.
Mahoney: What am I supposed to do?
James: I don't care.
James rushes away. Mahoney turns and looks into the cafeteria, he walks inside and sits at a table by himself. A girl sits across from him, he looks up.
Mahoney: Jennifer, what's up?
Jennifer: Thanks for the ride yesterday.
Mahoney: Yeah... no problem... any time.
Jennifer: Thanks.
A shorter student walks over and sits next to Jennifer, he looks at her and smiles.
Gabriel: Hey, Jennifer.
Jennifer: Um, hi... um...
Jennifer doesn't know his name, Jennifer looks at Mahoney who mouths the word "Gabriel", Jennifer looks back at him.
Jennifer: Hi, Gabriel.
Gabriel: How's it goin'?
Jennifer: Good I guess.
Gabriel: That's good, you live on Pine road, right?
Jennifer: Yeah.
Gabriel: I live like right down the street from you.
Jennifer: Really?
Gabriel: Yeah, I just got Guitar Hero 3 if you want to hang out some time.
Jennifer seems frustrated, but is too nice to say anything to Gabriel.
Jennifer: Sounds great, but I have play practice today.
Gabriel: Oh, that sucks.
Jennifer: Yeah... that reminds me, Mahoney, do you guys have Tech today?
Mahoney: Yeah.
Jennifer: Do you think you can give me a ride home from play practice.
Mahoney: Yeah, definitely.
Jennifer: Thanks.
Gabriel: Oh, cool, there's Tech today? I'm coming.
Jennifer starts to feel uncomfortable.
Jennifer: Well Mahoney, I have to go talk to Mr. Keller about something, thanks again for the ride.
Mahoney: No problem.
Jennifer walks away and ignores Gabriel, Gabriel slides over and looks Mahoney in the eyes.
Gabriel: Dude, she is so sexy.
Mahoney (slightly annoyed): Shut up.
Gabriel: You think I have a shot?
Mahoney (slightly annoyed): Gabriel, just... just shut the fuck up.
