becky's pov ---- setting: carol's then party

The curb was beginning to hurt my ass. Carol told me not to chain smoke in front of her coffeeshop. Heaven forbid anyone sees that she hires people who smoke. I saw Sean finally pull in and I rolled my eyes. He was always so late now. It was the fact that Bennett was an emotional wreck. Boys make no sense. When one of them gets dumped they just all drop their penises and wallow in self-pity or try and get the dumpee out of their beds everymorning. I expected to walk in on Sean giving Bennett head every party I left them alone at to smoke a cigarette.

I stood up and put out my cigarette and he rolled down his window popping out as I walked past him towards my door. "I'm so sorry," He said. "I was-"

"Just shut up," I said. I got in and played with my lip ring. I was pissed at him.

"Becky-baby," He said. "I'm sorry." He gets like a little boy. I looked over at him and gave him a look. He stared at me and pouted a little. I rolled my eyes buckling my seatbelt.

"I need some booze tonight if you're going to be all over your wonder-boy companion." I said.

"Who?" He asked. Boys are retarded too.

"Bennett," I snapped at him. "God, you're like married to him. What the fuck? I thought you said he'd just be a little depressed, I mean Joseph and Spinella make out in the halls all day and birds drop dead when they catch a whiff of how fucking drunk they are with each other and then Bennett loses his spine. I haven't even seen you in a week."

He snorted. "You wouldn't believe this," He said. "But he's got a new girl."

I looked over. Bennett finding a girl this quickly is like a one in a million. I stared at him. "Who? Rachel Powers or someone trashy like that?"

He shook his head smirking a little. "She's obsessed with Sunday Drive," I said.

"So he didn't find a girl," I said. "He found his soul-mate?"

Sean nodded closing his mouth smiling a little. I rolled my eyes. This has to be good.

We sat on a couch looking for her. Jonah was draped over the couch. "I'm in love with her," He said. "She listens to Saves the Day and likes 'In Reverie' I'm going after her."

Bennett didn't say anything. He just crossed his legs and leaned back against the wall ignoring us. He gave up denying his infesting love for Elisa whoever she was. Now Jonah was going on about her to piss him off. I laughed and leaned against Sean. I forgot how mad I was with him. I pressed my lips into the soft spot under his ear. He turned his face and kissed me and I kissed him back eagerly.

Jonah shot up, I heard the couch creak and we both pealed away from each other to dodge a hit. But he was running after a girl. She was tiny. He smiled and she turned around blushing and looking scared. Bennett looked pissed watching him.

"Is that her?" I asked.

"Yeah," Sean said. Bennett was too drawn into them.

"I know her," I said. "Whats her name again?"

"Elisa,"

"She's friends with the Cassandra girl I work with." I said. "She doesn't talk to anyone and is like a mute. Why would he like her?"

Bennett looked over suddenly. "You know Cass?" He asked.

"Do you know Cass?" I asked.

"Well," He ran his fingers through his hair. "I know of her and I know who she is, I've just never been introduced. She's Elisa's best friend."

"Creep," I said laughing. "What's Elisa's middle name?"

He smiled a little. "Shut up," He said. Sean laughed.

"He knows it," Sean said. "Go on."

Bennett sighed looking over at her and Jonah. She was bright red and touching her neck. "She doesn't have one." He said. I rolled my eyes and got up.

"Come on," I said to Sean. "I'm out of cigarettes."

He got up and he moved his hand around my waist and we left Bennett alone against the wall. He waved and stood up going over to her. I leaned into Sean. "He's bad," I said. "He's in love with her."

Sean laughed. "I know."

We didn't go back to the party, we just made out in his car. Something we haven't done in the three weeks since Joseph and Spinella shacked up again. I saw them walking together away from the party. I see her getting pregnant soon, for some reason. I hope she does. I know something went on between her and Sean because he always stares at her.

I bet they name their illegitimate future child something retarded like you'd expect a ditz like her to name her baby when she's... what seventeen? I hope they name it like Peach or Penelope. That'd be a laugh. The poor kid would be smothered by it's parent's relationship.
