"Did you hear?" was Ariel's greeting the next day.

"What?" I ask tiredly. I was up all night wit him and had to sneak home late. I was yawning a lot.

"That Cory Handel was caught dealing drugs yesterday. Didn't take him as junkie." She says bouncy with gossip.

I yawn again.

"Sounds nice."

"Nice?" She asks incredulous. I blink "What am I supposed to say?"

"You're always all over me whenever I have gossip." Ariel almost accuses. I can't believe her. Our argument is the most stupid in history.

"Well I'm just not in the mood today." I snap.

She opens her mouth but doesn't say anything. 

"You've changed." 

Then she turns on her heels walking away angrily.

I blink.

Why does everyone say that now?
