The Art Of Getting By.

Chapter 3

The rest of the night ended with Hugo and I out on the balcony. It turned out that we actually had a lot in common. Since we didn't hadn't really drank anything Hugo gave me a ride home. I crashed as soon as my head the pillow. Geo came in around 4 and laid down next to me. He has his own freaking key to my house. But I mean I don't really mind considering I have one to his house. He pretty much passed out as soon as he laid down. I think I passed out to because next thing I knew it was 7 am and Geos head was buried in the toilet.

"UGH I'm never drinking again as long as I live" He complained pulling his head out of the toilet. He was really flushed and his eyes were blood shot.

"Geo I hate to break this to you but you say that every time you drink. If you truly meant it you'd stop drinking by now." I passed him a wet washcloth and pulled out his toothbrush and some toothpaste.

"I really mean it this time though" He says gratefully accepting the washcloth. I went and laid down while he finished cleaning himself up. When he finished he came and laid down next to me.

"Where'd you go last night" He asked laying on his side to look at me.

"Well Hugo and I hung out while you were eating that girls face" I say laying to face him.

"Your just jealous that it wasn't you I was kissing" He says laughing.

I wish....

"Why would I want to kiss a terrible kisser" I ask shoving him away. He looked hurt for a split second but he quickly covered it up.

"I'm far for terrible, I can even prove it to you if you'd like" He says moving in closer. But I never got the chance to respond because right at that second Jamie burst into the room.

"I'm never drinking again" she says flopping down next to me, pushing me into the middle.

"Deja Vu" I say rolling my eyes at her.

"I slept with Teddy" she rolled over so I couldn't see her face as she said that.

"WHAT" I say rolling her back over so she was facing me again.

"I know"

"But you hate him and he hates you. How did this happen. Did you secretly like him and not tell me" I ask rapid fire not giving her a chance to answer.

"I-I-I don't know what to think at this point" She says eyes tearing up.

"Well I suggest that we go get breakfast" Geo says from behind me. I had completely forgotten he was here.

"Sounds great. You know where your clothes are, and Jamie you can borrow some of mine" I say sitting up. It took us about an hour to all shower and get dressed and out the door. We ended up at a booth at our favorite diner. Geo and I were in one side of the booth and Jamie on the other. I called Hugo, and he was meeting us here. A boy who looked like he was about a year younger than us came up to the table.

"Hey guys. I'm Randy and I'll be taking your order today" He said to the entire table but his eyes only seemed to be focused on me.

"Hello Randy I'll have a coke with a lemon. This pretty young thing next to me will have a water and she'll have a lemonade. We'll tell you our orders when you come back" Geo spit out with a lot of venom. Jamie and I share a look.

"Are you alright Geo" Jamie asked unable to keep the smile off her face.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just didn't like the way that kid was ogling Gina. She's like a little sister, so I'm not gonna let some punk drool all over her" He says avoiding eye contact looking down at the menu. I felt like some one had just stabbed me in the heart and was just letting me bled out. Lucky Hugo approached the table right at that moment. He slid in across from me and Geo.

"Hey guys. Jamie you looking as cute as ever. Gina you too. Geo we've never met but I've currently heard a lot about you" Hugo says winking at me. Randy came back with our drinks and we all order. The whole time Randy was staring at me and Geo was giving him the death stare while Jamie and Hugo were trying to keep form bust out laughing. That's pretty much how the rest of lunch went. When we were getting ready to leave Randy came up to the table and tried slipping me the number. Although it was fun while it lasted I had to let him down.

"Look Randy, your really nice and all but your a little to young for me and I'm really interested in someone else at the moment. You'll find someone for you. Just don't go throwing yourself at every girl you met" I say. I give him the napkin back and we all head out to the cars. Jamie had to go home so she drove here. Hugo had to go to work so that just left me and Geo. The car rider
