apologies and shut up quickly.
    “Hey, where’s my drink?” Peyton asked impatiently.
    “It’s coming,” I said and pointed in the direction of Tommy slowly walking to our table. Every single girl at our table mouth dropped in response to seeing Tommy, as did every girl he walked by. It was like watching him in slow motion, like they did in the movies with bright lights glittering all around him and the song ‘Oh Yeah’ from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off playing in the background.
    “Dibs!” They all shouted. Even Kelly, Nate’s girlfriend, who you could tell it hurt his ego a little until she nudges him playfully in the ribs saying “Just kidding honey.” She looked at me with wide eyes and I just cracked up. Too bad Tommy was more into the homies then the hunnies, but I’d let them figure that out on their own.
    I was ready to get a bib for Peyton she was drooling so much. “Hey Peyton, you got a little something right here,” I said gesturing to her mouth.
    “Shut up,” she muttered, I just laughed. I’ve never seen Peyton so caught off guard before. I don’t think she even knew what to do. After a second she was back to herself. She stole a chair from another table, sticking it right next to her. If she would have put it any closer it would have been right on top of her.
    After the introductions we sat down and Nate right away started a conversation with Cole. I was thankful for that, because at the moment I wasn’t in the mood to strike up a conversation. Peyton was trying every dirty move she knew on Tommy. Wow, she really could be a slut sometimes. I wanted to say, “hello, these are ears not trash cans.”
    I grabbed a cigarette out of my purse and when I looked up I saw Logan was outside again and staring. As I watched him I could tell he was more or less keeping an eye on Cole than me. Sizing up the competition I guess you could say. Although Cole’s not really competition because I was pretty sure I’d never see him again after tonight.
    After a few minutes Tommy looked at me then at Peyton and said, “You know you guys kind of match.”
    “She copied,” we both said at the same time.
    Cole looked over at me, but Nate drew his attention back to him.
    It was soon time for last call so Kelly asked everyone what they wanted. Cole volunteered to get the drinks. Everyone handed Cole money, but he refused and insisted on buying for everyone again. It was nice of him to do that, but it made me feel like he was trying to impress me with the possibility he had money. I actually can’t stand when people flaunt their money.
    Peyton volunteered to help Cole. I was surprised she would waste one minute of time trying to get in Tommy’s pants. I guess she started to notice he wasn’t really responding to her come-ons and she had to clear her head to come up with some new material or try her luck on Cole.
    After they left, Tommy leaned over to me and said, “Your friend kind of scares me.”
    It took everything I had to not bust out laughing, but I kept it cool with a little chuckle. “I’m sorry. She does tend to come on a little strong when she sees something she wants. If you want I can tell her to back off if she’s not your type.”
    “Thanks, don’t get me wrong she’s hot, but a little much. I also kind of like my girls a little thicker,” he said gesturing his eyes towards Jessie. Jessie was another one of my really good friends. She had medium length hair, brown with blond highlights. She was only about five four and definitely had curves. She knew she wasn’t skinny according to society’s standards, but she was happy and loved her body. She was also kind of a plain Jane. She didn’t wear a lot of makeup and dressed in what made her feel comfortable.
    I was a little taken off guard when Tommy mentioned Jessie. Tommy saw the confusion in my face and asked, “Is there something wrong with her? Did I say something wrong?”
    I quickly corrected him. “No, No, she’s great. Perfect
