Shane’s eyes bore holes into the family table as Carmen, who sat face to face with her studied what was left on her plate.

Brody made a mental note of their actions and paid most of his attention to Moira, who sat beside Carmen.

Mrs. Morales and Connie cleared the table of unused plates of food, Patrice looked at all the other teens and immediately felt the tension building.

P: "Well, I suppose I’ll go see to the kids." She bit her lip to stifle a laugh while walking out of the kitchen.

Brody rubbed his chin and looked over at Shane. B:" So…Shane when did you and Carmen become ‘friends’. Shane played with her food a bit longer, a smile growing on her face.

S: "Well…it actually only took two days."

Na: "Well that’s unbelievable." Shane head jolted to the left as Naomi came towards the table, a college book in hand.

Shane grinned, "Not if you know how fast she moves," she smiled, Carmen’s leg unnoticeably moved between hers. Shane felt a sharp pain flow up her shin. C:"I never heard you complain," Shane rubbed the sore area on her leg, smiling to herself. ‘Definitely hit a nerve.’

S:" How could I." She winked. Naomi and Brody smiled, B: "Moira was Carmen the same with you,"

M: "Uh…-"

S: "Nope."

Moira folded his arms as Shane snickered. B: "Jon wasn’t kidding Naomi."

Na: "You’re telling me."

Shane helped the dishes that where being washed by Naomi. Na: "You really don’t-."

S: "I ate her too." She removed her jacket do to the heat coming from the stove. Naomi looked her up and down as she rolled up her sleeves.

Shane stopped as she felt Naomi’s eyes on her, "What."

She smiled, "Nothing you just remind me of my boyfriend." Shane’s heart thumped loudly, this wasn’t the  first time she was compared to someone’s boyfriend. S: "That’s…Nice."

Shane laughed a bit as Naomi dug into the soapy, hot water, "So, planning on going to college,"

S: "No, I barely made it through pre-school."

Naomi nodded; Shane kept stealing glances at her. She has the most beautiful light brown eyes she’d ever seen.
