A car door slammed in the sand parking lot, as sleepy Alaina slowly made her way onto the field wearing a white cami, plaid PJ pants, and running shoes. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and in one hand she held a Starbucks frappucino, in the other hand her sidekick.
Normally, Alaina would be up and running around the field while watching the other sporting events. But after last night: the five mile run, movies with Rachel, and a mud fight with Damien.. she was totally wiped out. Today, she just stood in the middle of the field sipping her drink. Soon, she lay on the grass, right where she was, and calmly watched the clouds.

The morning was foggy outside and a panting Elle jogged her way down to the practice field. Part of her jogging routine was doing a lap around the whole campus + practice field. Her cheeks were filled with color, her hair pulled back loosely in a ponytail. Lying in the middle of the practice field was her best friend, Alaina.
Elle ran over to Alaina and she stopped, observing her brand new blue Nike shox. She had white cropped sweatpants and a light blue sports bra. "What type of coffee is that?" She questioned between breaths.

Alaina let out a small gasp and opened her eyes to the face of Elle. After a short nap, she was feeling somewhat cheery. "Caramel" Alaina whispered; her first word of the day. She lifted herself off the ground and tackled Elle. "You run?" Alaina asked her as she released her and plopped herself back onto the ground smiling.
"Look what you've done to me. I'm not usually like this in the morning.." Alaina added, scrunching her eyebrows.

Elle's face lit up with delight. She snatched the coffee from Alaina's hands and took a small sip,"Yummmmmm." She closed her eyes and licked her lips. Reopening her eyes she laughed,"That was my first sip of coffee all this morning, and after getting up at 6:30 to start running, I deserve some, and I tend to get people all energized whenever I talk with them, its odd."
"So pretty much, yes I do run, do you?" Elle cocked her head to the side and sat down with Alaina.

Alaina snatched her coffee back. "Well .. not to be a snoot, but I AM the captain of the track and cross country team.." and smiley wryly, "You should join.. maybe I'll cut you some slack." she said competitively.
"I feel like going out tonite.. again." Alaina added after a minute or so. |

Elle shrugged nonchalantly at the mention of cross country and track. "I don't know if thats my scene," she replied hesitantly. There was an awkward silence and Elle cleared her throat, her tone changed to nice and cheery as always.
"I feel like going out again tonight too, I want to meet more people." She clapped her hands with delight,"Maybe we could go out to a club or wherever..."

Alaina grinned. "I could go for that. Maybe some shopping before for hott club wear?" she added laughing a little.
Suddenly Alaina squealed, as she was being jump-started by her other best friend, Nate. "Hey cutie.." he stopped. "Oh and hey Laina-Bean." he smiled and jerked back, and Alaina attempted to bitch slap him.

Elle stood there smiling as Alaina was playfully fighting with Nate. "Hey Nater-Tot," she said with a small wave.
Turning to Alaina she changed the subject, glancing at Nate out of the corner of her eye. "That would be awesome, I need new party clothes, plus I just got some money from the dad this week." Elle bit her bottom lip slightly, trying to remember exactly how much her dad gave her. This money was like a secret just between Rachel and her father, they didn't bother telling her mom because she would probably insist on having Elle use it on stupid things.

"Great! Maybe a little malling later on? Maybe this time I will look a little cleaner.." Alaina mentioned, remembering the mud stained dress she was last spotted in at the mall. She tried to ignore Nate as much as possible, knowing that Elle felt a tiny bit uncomfortable, thinking about their breakup a while ago. But Nate being Nate insisted upon joining in on the conversation.
"Where you chicks going tonite??" he asked, wanting to be a part of their social gathering.

Elle laughed at the mud-spattered dress Alaina spoke of. "Well unless there are any convienient mud piles anywhere, I don't think you'll be getting dirty." Elle replied knowingly.
Today, Elle was being extra observant and noticed that Alaina was trying to disregard Nate. She almost felt bad that Alaina had to put up with this sort of thing every time the two were in the same general area, she shrugged it off anyways.
When Nate asked where the two were going Elle was screaming inside don't say where, don't say where, but her mouth wasn't working with her brain. "We're probably going to the mall," she blurted. Her body tensed and she kicked herself mentally.

Nate looked with glee, "I can drive you girls if you wa-"
"Nate I have a car. And sorry but it's a girls night out." Alaina rolled her eyes, and after a brief pause, she added, "Don't you have a party to go to or something?"
"Sean backed ot on me. He decided to bust his brother to the cops instead.. so yeah." he replied, looking down and scratching a red spot on the nape of his neck.
Wide-eyed Alaina first looked at Elle, then back at Nater, then back at Elle, signaling his neck to her.

It was odd, Elle usually never had a loss for words, but in this case she was. Her mouth hung open slightly and she tried to force words out of her mouth, anything to show that she was listening. "The cleavage of the chocolate," Elle spoke somewhat softly for only her ears to hear. There, she did say something, even if it made no sense.
Another awkward silence and she looked at Alaina, then at Nater Tot. "Well...I guess that...you can come if you want." Elle stated as she looked down at her feet. "As long as you don't mind hearing girl talk all night," she replied with a small laugh.

Nate opened his mouth wide. "REALLY?" he asked in a high-pitched girly voice. "Great we can like paint our nails and stuff!" he giggled.
"Ugh.. just stop." Alaina grunted in her true bitchy tone.
After a few minutes of awkwardness passed by, Alaina gave Nate a quik hug goodbye without informing him she was leaving, then grabbed Elle by the arm and practially dragged her to the car. "Okay.. it's getting hot in this joint, bitch. Let's go somewhere else. Well.. maybe I should stop by your place to let you change, first." she said smirking, and glancing at Elle's sports bar and sweat pants.

Elle's arm practically was jerked out of its socket as she was driven away from Nater-Tot. "Ow!" Elle punched her in the arm lightly. Rubbing her shoulder she gave a disapproving look,"You could have just told me we're leaving, no need to nearly maime me." At the mention of her attire she looked down,"Yeah, I guess I should change, but you should too!"
Elle smirked and got in to the passenger side of the car, she shouted to Alaina. "My dorm is on campus, let's haul toosh, betch!" She slammed the car door shut and waited for Alaina to get in.

"I guess so.. alright, well we're outta this joint! Vrooommm" Alaina said
driving off, headed for campus.
