After school...
"Christabella?" Zephyr asked.
"Yes?" Christabella answered, turning to Zephyr.
"You know that new guy in school?" Zephyr asked carefully.
Christabella suddenly tensed up and nodded and asked, "Why?"
"Is he... good looking? You like him?" Zephyr asked.
"Why are you asking?"
"Oh... nothing just wondering..." Zephyr said.
"Oh... no. I don't like him... not that way..." Christabella said.
"Oh..." Zephyr said, feeling really relieved.
"You jealous?" Christabella asked curiously.
"No! Not at all! Just asking. Heard a lot of girls are attracted to him... you know?" Zephyr said quickly.
Christabella shrugged, "Oh well, he's quite charming actually."
"Huh? So you like him?" Zephyr asked, jealousy and confusion bleeding into his brains and heart.
"Nah, he's not my type," Christabella said, "Why?"
"Oh!" Zephyr said. "Nothing..."
But deep inside, Christabella knows that Zephyr was worried now that his competitor has come and he has to be extra careful and watch his back.

"This is so not cool!" Chrysantha whined.
"Okay, this is twenty third time you're saying that today. Knock it off!" Christabella sighed.
"But really, it's not cool!"
"Twenty- fourth"
"Stop it!"
"You stop it!"
"Fine then! Be that way!" Chrysantha snapped.
"Oh yes, I will..." Christabella snapped back. "Come on, what's so not cool about that?"
Chrysantha turned and said, "The fact that you and Zephyr are married and here comes walking in Kelvin, who flirts with you and it's so obvious he's in it for you."
"Uh huh..."
"You get two guys. Me? Nada!"
"Actually, you have that... whatshisname?"
"Jacky. The nerdy, weirdo Jack from "The Book Club" which is so boring..." Chrysantha said.
"Breathe." Christabella said.
"Okay, and he's following me around! And it's freakin' creepy! Look!" Chrysantha said, pointing at a guy whose hair was out of place and has a lopsided grin and freckles sprinkled all overhis face. He waved at Chrysantha. Chrysantha turned back, "See what I mean???"
"Yeah, he's creepy alright!" Christabella agreed.
"Is that all you can say?" Chrysantha asked with a frown.
"Err... avoid him?" Christabella suggested.
"Argh! I AM AVOIDING HIM!" Chrysantha said angrily.
"Then you're not avoiding him enough," Christabella said distractedly.
"Urgh! Forget it! It's just so not cool!" Chrysantha concluded.
"Twenty-five."
"You're not cool too!" Chrysantha said and stalked off.
"I am?" Christaella said, "OH! That counts too! That makes twenty six!" Christabella called. But Chrysantha was already lost in the crowds.
