“So how do you know her?” Carmen asked as she sat across the table from Shane drinking a beer.

“Who?”

“Jodie, Alice’s new ‘friend’.”

“We just used to know some of the same people, I didn’t even recognise he at first. She’s changed so much.”

***********Flashback***********

Shane sat at a round table at the back of a club, people watching. She
watched a girl with short hair, three quarters of it was died red, it
was spiked up at the back. She watched as she ordered a drink and
noticed Shane sitting in the corner. She grinned at Shane, Shane
acknowledge her with a slight nod. The girl began to make her way over
to Shane’s corner of the club, Shane found herself spellbound by the
swaying of her hips when she was interrupted .

“Hey Shane you made it, I was sure you weren’t gonna get
here. It’s awesome to see you dude.” Shane looked up and saw the
familiar face of her old friend. Her eyes flashed back to where the
girl was to find she had headed off in another direction.

“Eddy, you doubted me for one second, how could you?” Shane exclaimed in a mocking melodramatic hurt.

“I’m sorry my darling, please forgive me!” Eddy pleaded his voice going up in pitch.

“Oh you two better not start this *****, I’m not in the ***** mood for you twats.”

“Great to see you too Izzy, I had a great trip thanks.”
Shane watched Izzy sit down in the chair next to her, she look tough,
she talked tough but Shane knew inside that she was sweet, generous and
loving. “So Iz what’s got you in such a chirpy mood this fine evening?”

“Nothing”

“Oh so she’s nothing now?”

“Shut up Eddy, I don’t want to talk about this bullshit,
I’m gonna get a drink,” with that Izzy made her way to the bar as Eddy
took the seat next to Shane and began to explain.

“So she’s been seeing this girl for like seven months
now, on and off, she’s hot tempered, but you know that makes her
sexier.” Shane nodded and mischievous grin crossed her face. “Right, so
this girl, Jodie, she jumps to the wrong conclusion and stuff a lot,
now I don’t know details of this exact fall out but lets just say its
not the first. Jodie flies of the handle over nothing, Izzy storms out,
they don’t talk for weeks, then Jodie gets all whiny with phone calls
and stuff and Iz takes her back”
