[center] - Xanthus - [/center] When was this silly little game going to end? He needed to talk to Lily again. He didn't have much time left. [i]Tick...[/i] [i]Tick...[/i] --- [center] - Lily - [/center] She was smiling and laughing up a storm with Carmen, watching everyone. It was nice just being there surrounded by people like this. For once she felt a part of the crowd again rather than some outsider. She'd have to thank Carmen one day. Someday. Probably tonight. Lily giggled at herself and looked around the area. She smiled at Matt as he gave Leroy a hug and waved at him when his line of sight came to her's afterwards. She mouthed a little hello and then returned to talking to Carmen. What they were talking about... Shoes? Wait... When did the conversation move to shoes? Lily was just about to tell Carmen she didn't like to wear shoes when she realized what they were even talking about. [b]"Wait... When did we get on the subject of shoes?"[/b] Lily asked and then giggled at herself again. All the same, this was fun. She hadn't even noticed Xanthus watching her from across the lounge. --- [center] - Maria - [/center] She shook her head and began to collect the numbers again just to pass them out again. These kids were being too safe. What happened to all the nitty gritty stuff they used to do when Maria was young? #5 and #6 go make out in the pool. She chuckled at the memory. #5 was a skinny guy with thick rimmed glasses and #6 had been Lucy Grange, the hottest girl in the school. Maria chuckled again. Didn't they get married? She shook her head and continued on, eventually passing the numbers back out. [b]"Only a few more rounds, guys and gals. After that, it's free time!"[/b] She shouted, smiling as the passed out the numbers.
