Siv walks along side with Brigit, an odd contrast in height and build. "He's cute," Siv says noticing Brigit checking out a fellow./Brigit blushes as only a redhead can "Shhh Siv, chill out okay. Yes, he is, but if he hears you I'm dead?" //"You're not dead, you're just embarrassed" Siv counters "But fine"

"You're going to get a reputation, Siv. Girls are brutal" Brigit warns//"Don't i know it," Siv says with a sigh "Yes, I'm already being called them. But you know? To hell with them. I"ve not done anything to be ashamed of, and even if I did..." A set jaw "I"m not sure shame would be a part anyway"//A smile from Brigit atthat "Easy to say, but we have to LIVE here at school, and getting shut out? I mean, it's a no win...have a V card and you get mocked, lose the V card and get called.. you know."//"Well," Siv says "Not for me. I'm a flirt. There, defined myself, and it fits. I like lads. " //"And one more than another I bet." Brigit says "That lump you're always grousing about"//"WShat? I don't ALWAYS grouse about him." She thinks "Do I?"//"You TOTALLY do. Older guy, rival school, doesn't text enough, doesn't spoil you enough... you are so into him" Brigit says//"Please, he's into me.." A beat "Figuratively speaking.." so far but now Siv blushes "Well, lately he and I have been getting serious..."

"HOW Serious?" Brigit asks, she can't help it.

"Well... serious, but not all the way serious..." Siv says wondering if she should say even that much.

The two move on, unaware that two girls are peeking around the corner, "Did you hear that?" One says //"Yup. The bimbo's serious with a guy at a rival school? Now, if somehow our routines get slipped to that other school..."//"You wouldn't"//The other girl ignores "They'll blame her.. she won't just be a slut, she'll be a back stabbing slut."//"Well, what about our wins?"//"Oh, we can change it up... just have to make sure everyone things Siv King, is a skank who would betray her own school just to open her legs."//"Oh wow, you really don't like her."// "What's to like? She's white trash ...I hear her dad's a trucker and her mom rumps around the woods working to clean up parks or something. Her accent maybe different, but she's just a stupid bimbo redneck and I don't want her on our team"

"I don't know about this..."//" Sure you do, you don't like her either. She flirted with Johny, who doesn't flirt with you. If she's out of hte picture..." //"WELLL.... I guess. Maybe just a few secrets slipped?"//"Okay, that should be enough" And the two walk off with a plan.

Whether or not a sluagh lad overhears this or not? That's another matter.
