Lame tales

“Get a room!" Molly yelled jokingly, seeing Katie and Jazz in an embrace.

"Shut up Molly." Katie began. "I just got here and was saying hello." Katie defended, after a little hug with her boyfriend. "At least we have the decency, no, capacity, not to kiss at school. That's just eww, and the people at school only have meaningless relationships." Katie finally finished.

"Are you done? Seriously? Am I interrupting some speech of yours?" Molly exacerbated, at Katie's long winded speech.

"Oh, and in case you didn't realise, you guys don't kiss at school because you go to different schools!" Molly added.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Katie said, scratching her head.

"Yeah, I'm only dating Katie for her brain!" Jazz joked.

"I love you too." Katie added, seemingly oblivious.

"So are we gonna catch this movie? Or stand around talking about Katie's extensive knowledge of the obvious?" Molly asked, heading towards the cinema.

The movie was average, the trio only laughing about every minute. It was some new film about all the other films out at the current time. You know, those ones that completely bag the shit out of all those lame ones. There was a scene about Twilight, where the vampire was allergic to blood. Then a spoof on Avatar, where all the people were purple. One about ‘Finding Nemo’, like when is the fish gonna get found?

They walked out of the cinema, three out of a total of about 5 people.

"You still have your drink?" Katie asked Molly, seeing Molly still carrying her half gone coke, 3 cookies and a doughnut. She was working on a 'balanced lifestyle'. Oh, and it was a diet coke of course.

"Yeah I'm like a camel!" Molly retorted.

"Camel? Attractive Molly!" Jazz teased.

"I think so..." Molly stopped, as someone crashed into her.

"Argghh!" Molly exclaimed, as her drink went up in the air, coating her and her spiller in dark bubbly goop.

"Watch where you're going." The guy said.

A group of his mates laughed behind where he stood.

"Me? ME?! What the hell?" Molly retorted.

The group of guys laughed, then walked away, leaving only the culprit behind. Molly gave one of her greasiest looks ever.

"Oh god..." The guy began.

"He's not gonna help you." Molly interrupted.

"Oh no, that's not what I mean. I'm so sorry I walked into you. I'll buy you another drink, here come." He said, grabbing Molly's hand and leading her to the counter.

Jazz and Katie took a seat near the stairs, exhausted from sitting through the whole movie.

"Let go of me. Please." Molly said, as they reached the counter.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot I was holding you."

"And another thing, why are you being so nice now?" Molly asked.

"What? Oh yeah. Sorry. It was my mates, they're tough. Or so they think." The boy explained. "I had to act like that, I'm really sorry I treated you like that." He finished.

Molly nodded, "Righttt..." She wasn't really convinced, or couldn't have cared less.

"What drink do you want, ah? Sorry I don't know your name" The guy asked, when they'd reached the counter.

"How silly of me. You cover me in goop, and I forget to tell you my name." Molly was still pissed that this guy had wrecked her 'balanced diet'.

"I'm Lachlan by the way." He seemed undeterred by her disgust in him.

"I'm Molly." Molly said, seeing as she couldn't shake this guy away. He was like a piece of hair that got stuck on your clothes, that you couldn't get rid of.

"What do you want?" The server lady asked, in an I'm-already-bored-of-serving-you tone. So much for customer service.

"A diet coke." Molly answered. The server rolled her eyes, as if doing her work was not part of what she was supposed to do.

Molly grabbed the coke, when the server eventually realised that coke didn't mean popcorn, chocolate or a spoon. She then began to walk away.

"Wait!" Lachlan yelped, realising she was leaving.

"What?!" Molly exacerbated.

"Well," Lachlan began, working for time. "You really don't need diet coke, like, you're pretty enough."

"Ah, what the hell?" Molly began. "Thanks for everything, but I gotta go." She gestured at Katie and Jazz sitting on a seat, playing pong on Katie's new iPod touch.

"Oh. You already have a boyfriend." Lachlan said, seemingly deflated.

"What are you on, tool? I point to my best friend and her boyfriend, and you get all emo on me." Molly explained. She kept walking to Katie and Jazz.

"And I have the diet coke, to keep a balanced diet." Molly laughed, picking up her cookies and doughnut.

Lachlan laughed. "Balanced diet. Hehe, I get it."

"Way to wreck a mood Lachlan." Molly laughed at his lameness.

"Time to go?" Jazz asked.

"Yeah, if we wanna catch the bus." Katie replied.

"Say goodbye to your little lost kitten, Molly. You can't take him home." Jazz joked.

"Hehe, shut up." Molly turned to Lachlan. "Yeah, sorry. Gotta go. It's been, interesting."

Katie and Jazz were already walking to the exit.

"This may seem a little forward," Lachlan said.

Molly interrupted "Forward? You covered me in coke. I think we're passed forward."

"Okay, can I have your number?" Lachlan asked, really fast, like ripping off a bandaid.

"Run!" Katie yelled, as Molly finally got to the bus stop.

"Me? Run? Easy, it's you who couldn't." Molly puffed at Katie, teasing her lack of running experience.

"SlAaP!" Katie hit Molly on the arm. "Actually, I went for a run this morning. I even took a video, to prove it." Katie grabbed her iPod and showed the video. It was two minutes of puffing, tripping over stray rocks, twice walking into fences and once running into a parked car.

"Well, maybe you're not destined to be a runner." Jazz put his arm around Katie's waist, "But you can show us how you swim." He added, as they disembarked from the bus, in front of the pools.

"Remind me why we are going swimming." Molly said, worrying about her inch-thick eyeliner.

"It was your idea, remember?" Katie answered.

The pools were pretty full for a weekend, even though it would have been obvious to any idiot that weekends were packed. The trio found the change rooms, and separated.

"No Katie, this is our one." Molly said, grabbing Katie before she followed Jazz.
