The school day started off a little rough, I could never understand advanced math, but I managed to pass. At
lunch I spotted Nate sitting alone at the table "Hey James," he said, "heard you had a sleepover at Claire's
last night. How was it?"
I responded "A little different, me and Claire got a little serious last night."
Nate looked around "Keep it between us, okey? Don't want you know who to listen in. You know how he is."
I nodded understandably, I know two fictional characters that had this kind of problem. One is Popeye, between
his girlfriend Olive Oyl and his nemesis Bluto, and if your a movie buff George McFly with his girl Lorane and
Biff Tannon, for me it's the school quarterback Butch Maris, who thinks that Claire is meant to be his.
"Oh, are you still insterested in Ashley?" I asked.
Nate nodded "Yes, I am."
"Claire is moving today," I said "There's a housewarming party tonight, and Ashley is going to be there, can
you invite 3 others to come?"
Nate says "Yeah, 3 others? Oh yeah I get it, Heather, Kelly and Lisa. I know just the ones. Don't worry, one
of them won't be Butch. What's the address?"
I showed him the address Claire's mother gave me and he said "Okey, I'll be there at 5."
I smiled "Thanks Nate."
He replied "Anytime."
