"It's fine, I've gotten over it. Mostly." Shannon lied, she still hadn't forgiven her mother or father for what happened. She laughed "Oh don't worry. I will make up the raunchiest story ever. I mean it will raise eyebrows, cause kids to puke, and wish they tried those moves before," She joked laughing even more. She began digging into the pasta as well, still grabbing a few cheesy bread on the side.
"Sure, that will help in trading off the little creature," Gale said smiling at the nickname he once called his siblings. He pulled out his phone and handed it to her to enter her number.

Matt chuckled, shaking his head. Everyone knew he wasn't that kind of guy, so its not like many people wouls believe the stories even if she did say that. He looked over at her, a bit of curiosity poking him in the back of his mind. "So, im curious," he started, not wanting to sound coeby, but it was going to come out that way anyways. "What is a beautiful girl like you doing single anyways? I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but girls that look like you don't exactly stay single."
Elizabeth put in her number before handing his phone back to him. "Hey, um, before you get going, do want to grab a bite to eat or something? I'm kind of curious about the father of my child," she said with a little teasing smile.

Shannon raised an eyebrow when he said he was curious, most of the time this never ended well. "Curiosity killed the cat you know," She teased though knowing there was more to that little rhyme than most people knew. She stared at him for awhile, holding his eyes in an intense stare before answering. "As my last year in high school, and after all the years partying and hooking up. I decided I would stay single for as long as possible." She didn't want to add the fact that she didn't want to make friends either, this was a one year thing before her freedom from her mother.
Gale laughed, a small awkward laugh. He knew she was joking, but it felt slightly odd still. "Sure, I guess I need to get to know the mother of my daughter." He said placing the child in the baby carrier that was provided and strapped her in. "Do you want to eat at the cafeteria, or somewhere off campus?" He asked, knowing the food here wasn't always the best.

"That makes sense," matt nodded, though he felt bad to hear about how her parents splitting up had affected her so much. He never really thought that parents splitting up was such a big deal, especially considering that his parents had split up. In his opinion, it made him a better person. "I'm sorry to hear about all that. But to me it seems you just need to do what you want to do. Don't let anyone else's actions and decisions influence you. Be yourself and be happy. I understand that you staying boyfriend less is your decision, which is great, but its all driven by someone else's decisions."
Elizabeth looked at him, laughing a bit. "Sorry if that sounded awkward?" She said as she took the carrier from him. "There's a sandwich shop on campus, actually. Would you be interested?"

"So, someone else is making this choice for me?" Shannon said trying to understand what he was saying. "I decided that I shouldn't be distract this year," She said knowing parties and guys weren't off the menu though they were at first.
"Yea, it's okay." Gale said smiling. "There is? I never knew that." He said feeling now that he would have a better place to eat than the cafeteria.

"Not this decision. But you were distracted the years before by being rebellious, right?" Matt asked, raising an eyebrow as he tried to straighten out his own thoughts. "If you weren't rebellious the yeats previous, then you wouldnt be holding yourself back. High school should be the best years of your life, especially your senior year," matt said before taking a bite of food.
Elizabeth smiled, nodding out the door. "Lets go," she said, holding open the door for him. "So, what do you like to do for fun?" She asked curiously.

Shannon thought about that for awhile. "Yeah, I hear you out. But honestly I feel a boyfriend would distract me," She said finishing her bowl of pasta. "I don't feel like I am holding myself back by not having a boyfriend." She said standing by that, she knew she could get any guy she wanted, but right now she really didn't want any strings attached.
(( Oops, she is actually a Junior XD my bad! I totally forgot. ))
Gale carefully carried the baby in the carrier, making sure not to bump or move to fast to wake her. "Uh, I like outdoor stuff. Hiking, horse back riding, hunting." He said trying to think of things he use to do in Russia.

"Yeah...I see your point. Relationships are uneeded distractions. I mean, there is no way I could balance football, school work, and a girlfriend," he admitted, though in all honesty he didn't eveb attend classes most of the time and he nevet did his homework--every good football player had a nerd that insured that they could stay on the team by doing their school work. It was the same way in college. He would never have to worry about school, really. "Okay. So, I don't do school work, but football takes up a good chunk of my life. So I see where you're coming from."
"Hunting?" Elizabeth asked as she raised an eyebrow. She wasn't really a big fan of hunters back in south africa, since most of them used the animal for their coat or tusks and left the rest of them to rot. If they hunted to actually use the entire animal, then that would be one thibg. But hunting down a rhino just to remove it's horn, while its alive, and leaving it there to blead out was a whole other ball game."Would you make use of what you hunted? Or was it for sport?"

Shannon nodded, glad he understood her. "Right, I mean I am not involved with any sports or activities, but I am swamped with classwork," She said laughing at the fact that jocks hadn't changed very much in the last twenty or so years. "So you pay or bully a nerd into doing your homework," She teased.
"yeah, my father would take me hunting and we would use every part of the animal," Gale said remembering the few days he and his dad would go hunting for a year's worth of meat. "I didn't hunt much. Rabbits, deer, squirrels. Mostly deer since they gave the most." he added as he switched the carrier to his other arm, he had forgotten how heavy babies could be.

"Nah. I take my nerd to parties with me and set him up with some hot chicks," matt shrugged. His nerd probably as much tail as any other manwhore in the school. "I have scouts out for me, so I kibd of work the school to make sure that I succeed in every area," he said as he pushed the food aside, feeling like he was about to burst. "There's a party tonight. Would you be interested in going tonight? With me, maybe?"
"Good, " elizabeth nodded, feeling better that they at least used the entire animal. She looked at him, offering out her hand. "Want me to carry the little one for you?"

"Ah, I see. You bribe your nerd," Shannon said finding it all quiet hilarious. "What if there is a subject you like, do you still get a nerd to help you?" She asked wondering if he did have a favorite subject. "And don't you feel like your cheating yourself?" she asked a second question before he could answer the first. "What kind of party?" She asked though she could guess it was a high school party like all those before.
"You don't like hunters that do it for sport?" Gale asked, knowing he didn't do it himself, but he didn't mind it."Sure, just be careful. It's easy to just bang her around." He added as he handed her the baby. He had done that with one of his younger siblings and it didn't end well.

"I do go to forensics, because its a super easy and fun class," Matt said with a shrug. He wasn't really one for math or really any subject besides English or science. "And you already know I go to English, because I love to mess with the teacher. By the way, thanks for coming in early today....she's kind of after my nuts and you kept her from making another pass," he admitted before the waitress came over and put their check on the table. He took out his card, not even looking at the check as he handed it over to the girl and she walked off with the card. "Its actually a college party. Its at the football team's house on campus in honor of their ten to zero winning streak so far this season. Theyre trying to get me to go school there after I graduate with a full scholarship, so they want to impress me and show me a good time."
Elizabeth shook her head. "I've worked at an animal sanctuary, so I've seen the aftermath of people that hunt for sport." She said, gently takijg the carrier from him. "I have gone duck hunting before, though. My dad had me hunt with a bow, and I was oddly pretty good at it. But after that my dad got me working at the sanctuary and I gave it up."

"After your nuts?" Shannon asked wondering what he meant by that. She could only guess. "Oh wait..." Shannon said as the check and his card were already being taken. "I could have paid for half." She said feeling like this was suddenly a date now. "Wow, that is pretty impressive." She said though it wasn't hard for her to get into parties. All she had to do was pout and act blond and maybe put out a little. "Do you normally go with a girl?" She asked.
Gale nodded, understanding that it pained her to think about animals hunted for sport. "Cool, I tried once to use a bow. Wasn't easy the first couple of times." He said remembering how he would miss the target entirely.

"Yeah...like she wants to sleep with me," matt said with a shrug. Sure, the teacher was fairly young and really hot, but that really wasn't his thing. "Well, I invited you. So its really whatever. Im used to paying," he said, being the type that would pay for any of his friends if he invited them somewhere. "And I don't usually take girls, no, because most of them I can't stand to be around, but your kinda cool. Would you be interested in going, even if its with a loser like me?" He asked with a little grin.
"Well....Im not very good with guns. So bow was all I could use," she admittes as she lead him through the school. "Have you met any interesting people here yet?"

Shannon cringed. She shook her head and stuck out her tongue "Bleh," she could never stoop so low as to sleep with a teacher, even if he was the hottest in the entire school, she would feel dirty. "Well, if you need me to be there early or whatever, I can." She said with a big smile. "But I wont be joining in if there you two want a threesome," She tease giggling slightly. "Well, I would love to. Some distractions are needed from time to time." She tried to rationalize, which she always did before going to a party or sleeping with a guy.
"It's okay. I haven't used one since I moved from Russia," Gale said, the only reason was because they were worried he would attempt something he would late regret. "Besides you? Only one other girl. It's hard to meet people here." He said wishing he was better at talking to people, it made it harder with his accent.

"Dang, and here I was hoping you would join us. Though, I've never had such a small group as a three some. Usually I'm going six chicks at once. I'm just that talented," Matt teased, the waitress came back at that very moment, giving him an oddly interested look when she gave him his card back. Well, he supposed that some girls really were into that. "Thanks," he told her as she slipped him a receipt with her number on it and walked off. "Pretty sure she really meant to five this to you," he said with a little laugh, sliding the girls number over to Shannon. "Awesone sauce. Did you want to stop by your place and get dressed in something else? I mean, you look fantastic, but for some reason most girls want to spruce themselves up before a party..."
"Well, maybe I can introduce you to some people. I know how hars it is to be in a new place, especially in a new country," Elizabeth said with a little smile as they came upon a little sandwich joint near the cafeteria, where there were a few other vendors. "You play any sports? "

Shannon laughed "Sorry, I am very selective with who I do and don't sleep with," She said knowing there was a time she wasn't. She stared at the waitress, feeling slightly jealous but brushed it off, Matthew was nothing more than an acquaintance, for now anyways. Shannon raised an eyebrow at the receipt and looked at him. "Uh-huh. Sure you don't want to take that? She seems like a pretty nice girl," She teased. "Uh..." Shannon said looking down at what she was wearing. It wasn't anything spectacular and she would like to change but she wasn't sure she should. She bit her lower lip in thought before answering. "Actually, yes. But it wont take five minutes." She said already picking out her outfit.
"Well thank you," Gale said, feeling better about having her as a partner in this project. "Whoa, how did I miss this?" He whispered to himself as he noticed the other shops. "Uh, I am sure I could if I tried. I use to play football, or as Americans call it Soccer." He said trying to wrap why the other sport was called football instead.

"Nah, I'm good. She's a ballsy girl, though. As far as she knew, you could be my girlfriend, " Matt chuckled as he stood up. There was no point in taking the girls number. He wasn't a player, ans if there was any girl he would going after it wouls be shannon, not some slut looking to get lucky. "Shall we get going then, m'lady?" He asked as he stood up.
"Americans jacked up words for things is kins of confusing, yeah?" Elizabeth said with a little laugh as she opened the door for hhim, using her knee to help balance the carrier as she dI'd so.

Shannon blushed slightly then shook her head. "True, but I am sure we didn't quite look like a couple," She said standing up and grabbing her purse. "I mean, we didn't hold hands or kiss or call each other pet names," She teased. She nodded her head and started heading for the door. "Thank you for lunch." She said over her shoulder.
"Here let me get the door," Gale said when he noticed she was struggling. He grabbed the door and let her walk underneath his arm into the little shop. "Yeah they do, it gets frustrating when I can't think of a word because it means something completely different here." He said following after her into the store.

A wide grin spread across Matt's face as he looked at the waitress, catching up to Shannon and putting an arm around her waist. "No problem, sweetie," he said in the mushiest way, chuckling at the waitresses reaction. He looked over at Shannon as he held the door open for her to walk out, removing his arm from her waist. "Shouldve seen her face. I swear she wantes to skin you," he chuckled. "Do you hate me yet?"
"Thanks," Elizabeth said as she ducked up his arm and walked inside, looking up at the menu. Everything sounded ao amazing, but she quickly settle on a philly cheesteak sandich with cheese and broccoli soup--all of which she wasnt likely to finish. "What do you want?" She asked him, setting the carrier down pull out her wallet
