"Hey dude, stop staring at her like that. It's too much. You might make people think she has cast a spell on you or something."

Seth laughed it off, "Nah man, you've got it wrong. I was just checking out the leather jacket she has on. It looks good on her, don't you think?"

"Yeah the leather jacket is shiny and all but hey, I haven't spent the last ten minutes checking her out or grinning like a fool every time she laughs." Josh kicked a stone out of his way, "Why don't you just tell her you like her?"

'I already kissed her and now I don't how the fuck I should proceed next,' Seth wanted to tell Josh that but he stopped himself. Rebecca and him weren't anything yet. They have barely had time to talk all day. It seemed Rebecca has suddenly gotten new friends. Girls had been all around her since morning asking her about Europe and pestering her to tell them all about her hometown, Ireland.

Becky had been patient and calm, much to the surprise of Seth but every now and then her eyes would dart to him, beseeching him to come to her rescue. It was clear she didn't crave unnecessary attention to herself. It made Seth like her all the more. "You're making up illusions in your head man. Becky is just a friend and you know that if she and I ever become anything, you will be the first person to know."

Josh patted on his back, almost making him stumble, "Hope so man. You will need a love expert like myself to teach you the basic things about a relationship otherwise, forget that Becky is Irish and one of the most nicest people you've ever met, she will dump you in less than a second."

Seth scowled hard to him, "I will keep that in mind." Unlike Seth who likes to keep to himself most of the time, Josh was exactly the opposite.

He wasn't a Casanova—that will be an overstatement—but all the same he likes everything fancy, lavish, fun and most importantly anything that has girls in it. One will find Josh everywhere. Be it the party they hold after every school season or a friend's party or be it a special get together—as they call it—where every guy has to pick a girl for himself and later engage in naughty activities afterwards, be sure to expect Josh because he will definitely be there. "What are you going to teach the girls anyway?"

Josh shrugged as if unimportant but there was no mistaking the slight smirk on his lips. "Oh nothing fancy or dangerous. The ladies want to get fit," he winked at one of them who blushed, "Not sure why but I'm certain they think their boyfriends are running behind Mercedes because she's so pretty and fit but I think the guys are being like that because she is related to Snoop Dogg. You know that rapper, don't you?"

"Who doesn't," Seth pointed to a bench as the park came into view. "Thank God, there's a bench. Whatever training you're going to give those girls, I'm not taking part in it."

"Relax dude. I've got it all covered. Leave the beautiful damsels to me." He flashed Seth a knowing grin before taking off and smacking a girl's ass making her yelp. Seth flopped down on the bench and stretched out his legs, groaning. They had come quite a long way from school and home. Hopefully they would be able to head back home before sunset.

Rebecca placed her bag beside his between them as she sat down next to him. "Hey there. Boring, huh?"

Seth shook his head, "Nope. There's nothing more entertaining than watching Josh do his thing. I don't know how he does it but he always makes the girls squirm and giggle. It's pathetic."

Rebecca laughed, "It's not hard to like Josh. He is funny and warm to everyone. He socializes a lot, meet new people everyday and isn't afraid to let you rant to him when the need arises. He's a great friend."

Seth clapped in a dramatic fashion, "Wow, what a compliment!! What I wouldn't do to have you compliment me like that?! I wonder what I should do." He feigned an attempt to stand and go over to where Josh and the girls were, doing Josh's version of yoga. "Maybe I should go there and smack their asses like Josh did?"
