But Sam does concede a few of the spicy ones to the other girl.

"I think she meant me" Tove says "But her funeral."

The nordic lady looks amused as Gonzales pops a spicy one in her mouth

then her eyes start to water

Sam giggles.

"You want that water now?" Tove smiles.

"Little bit" the girl says

Sam gets a tea, and Gonzales gets some water. May took some tea as well, and definitely is going with right stuff

In true teenager fashion, Sam demolishes the food in a matter of seconds. "Good stuff, Tove!"

"Damn, tell me you're at least from Texas?" Gonzales says//Tove laughs "no, i just like spices. "// "I'm good with these, they're great" May says, going at a slower pace than the other two girls

"You ever been to Texas? I've only ever been in Jersey, man. And the city a few times - field trips."

"Once, I got family there... geez that state is huge and hot, burn your a...rear off" Golzeles says

"Bet they have good food, though."

"Really good" She agrees//"Maybe we'll visit sometime" Tove says "You three were looking sharp out there."

"Gonzales is the fastest girl on the team, and May's got a great 2-pointer."

"Working on three pointer" May says with a blush

"Sam can hurl a ball from across court easy" Gonzales says, "And she's hard as hell to get the ball from"

"I mean when you try to TAKE it," The girl clarifies, "She's good on team work"

"Now I know who to bet on" Tove gives a happy chuckle

"Gonzales is gonna be the PG, for sure. Doesn't matter if she's TwoBit sized there."

"If either of you try to pet me, I will BITE you" The little latina warns

May blinks and fights a laugh, but she sure as heck doesn't try

"Oooo, Dalena the Pit Bull Gonzales. Got a ring!"

Dalena sticks her tongue out, but then laughs too

"And May... hunh... the Butterfly, maybe? Like Ali."

"Rgiht, me a butterfly" May blushes at that

Tove looks over May, then "I don't know, I looked a lot like you at your age and I turned out okay I hope"

May definitely blushes

"What? You look fine." Stubborn.

Mutter mumble from May

"Somebody say something? I'll show'm what for."

"What? No.. I mean, no one new or anything I..." May says "It's okay."

"Whatever. You're awesome, and my friend, and good at basketball."

"Yeah, it's basketball, we're there to kick ass and score points, not impress horndogs, who cares what boys think?" Gonzales says

"I care a little bit?" May admits, but smiles with her awkward teeth "But yeah"

Tove is putting the empty paper plates away

"Oh, you and Siv. Boooyyyyysssss."

"Siv is pretty, I'm not" May points out "So... it doesn't much matter."//"I don't know, " Tove says "Tell you what, May, if you promise it won't interfere with your basketball practice of school work, I can teach you some fashion tips."

"You're fine." Glare. "Some people are just jerks."

"Well Uh.. yeah, some are" May agrees, "but...fashion tips? Do you think those would help?"

Tove shrugs "It rarely hurts, but I agree with your friends. It can wait"

Dagmar tugs on her shirt, shrinking into the oversized hoodie a bit. "Don't need no boys."

"Not until I graduate, my cousin? Louisa Anita Angela? She got involved with a guy and dropped out of high school. STUPID, right? "

The last from Danela , of course

"STUPID, yes."

"I mean, I know some girls who got knocked up on purpose. You do that, you can get emancipated, and get SSI and stuff... but a lot of their kids wind up in the system, which ain't good."

Tove nods "It isn't, no."

May blushes "Yeah well, thanks now I'm kind of wanting to avoid boys until I'm 26 when you guys talk like THAT"

"Mission accomplished!" Gonzales offers a fist bump to Sam

Fist bump!
