After The Prom

Part 6

"What the fuck is up with Erin?" Michelle was leaving school with Claire. 

"What do you mean?" asked Claire.

"Well where is she?"

"Doing her history project?"

"Every afternoon for the past week? And at the weekend? I know she's loves them fucking walls but not that fucking much. Either she's got a fella or she's planning on marrying them like that one that married the wall...". 

"The Berlin Wall??" replied Claire. 

"Oh aye"

"Where's James and Orla?" asked Michelle.

"Orla? Who the fuck knows? And James is doing my head in as well"

"Why what's he doing?"

"He's fucking happy....like all the time. It was bad enough when he was just annoying. What the fuck does he have to be happy about? He's a youngfella with an English accent living in Derry"

"I haven't seen him lately...You don't think him and Erin are...??"

"Riding?" asked Michelle.

"No..not like that...like seeing each other?"

"You're fucking funny Claire. She's a rare duck but not that fucking rare"

 "We could ask her? Maybe there's something wrong? We could stake out the library"

"That sounds like a barrel of laughs Claire"
