noticing.
    “ Yeah I’m fine. Why?”
    Logan glanced to Sian then back to
me, which I knew meant ‘because she’s here’.
    I just shrugged as if I didn’t
care.
    Logan stared at me for a couple of
seconds, and I was getting lost in his eyes when he mouthed ‘ok’
and turned back to what Pike was saying.
    “ So how was the race?” He asked
Logan.
    “ It was cool. Jez won.” He beamed,
his eyes lighting up. “Chase and I got a really good spot at the
track”
    “ You went to see the dirt bike
racing?” Sian asked me, like I was insane.
    “ Yes. My Dad got me tickets for my
birthday.”
    “ You
actually wanted to go?” She asked in disbelief.
    “ Yes. I did.” I replied like it was
nothing.
    “ Ew. All that dirt. Didn’t you get
muddy?” Her nose wrinkled, and her mouth turned down in
disgust.
    “ Yes, actually.
I was covered in mud. Head to toe.” I told her with a smile.
    “ Oh my God. In your hair too?
That’s totally gross.” She held up her hands like she wanted to
back away.
    “ Yeah, it was in my hair. All over
my clothes… and under my nails.”
    Sian gasped in horror, and I could
hear Logan silently chuckling beside me.
    “ That’s
disgusting.” She shook her head, her curls swaying. “I wouldn’t be
caught dead around all that.” She snorted.
    “ It was totally awesome.”
I emphasized the word. I don’t think she realized I was mocking her
because she turned her attention to Lex.
    “ Baby, give me some quarters.” She
said, holding out her hand. No ‘please’ or ‘thank you’
either.
    Lex gave her some coins from his
pocket and she kissed him on the cheek before clicking on her heels
over to the jukebox.
     
    “ She’s driving me nuts!” Lex said
suddenly. “She doesn’t do anything other than her fucking hair or
nails. Oh, and she shops.” He groaned. “But, she’s a great fu…” He
paused mid sentence, looking to me, realizing I was with
them.
    “ Don’t mind me.” I said, waving
away his concern that I was sitting there.
    “ She’s good for…
other things, but that’s it. She’s beginning to get on my nerves.”
    Stu was about to say something when
Justin Bieber’s ‘Boyfriend’ sounded out over the speakers and Sian
took her seat between Lex and me.
     
    “ Seriously?” Pike asked.
    “ What? Justin is
awesome.” Sian said, like he was an idiot for not liking the music.
“Please tell me at least you like Justin.” She asked me.
    “ Um… Not so much.” I
replied.
    “ Hey Chase.”
Pike said, suddenly remembering I was there. “Why don’t you choose
something you like?” He smirked.
    I could tell he wanted to start
something. Possibly between Sian and me, or cause more of a rift
between Sian and Lex.
    I got up and started to walk
away.
    “ Don’t you need money?” Sian raised
an eyebrow at me.
    Oh, she expects me to sponge off the
guys too. I don’t think so.
    I jangled my pockets, the sounds of
coins clinking together, as I turned away.
     
    Choosing my song, I moved back to
the table and I instantly knew I’d been the topic of conversation
because they all stopped talking.
    Lex looked bored, Stu and Pike
were trying not to smile, Carl looked happy and Logan looked
annoyed. At least he stuck up for me… I think.
    “ What. Is. That?” Sian said in
horror as ‘Best Of You’ by the Foo Fighters started.
    “ You don’t like Foo Fighters?” I
asked, like it would surprise me that she didn’t.
    “ Uh… No !” Her tone implied that I was stupid for even suggesting
it.
    “ Oh. That sucks.” I
smiled.
    The waiter appeared with our
drinks followed by another waiter with the huge cheese pizza we’d
ordered.
    It had only touched the table when
Stu and Pike went for their slices; followed by the other
guys.
     
    “ Oh my God! You
guys are animals!” Sian whined. “You could use a plate !” She
looked round and when she didn’t spot any, I swear she turned
white. “Please tell me there’s at least some cutlery.”
    “ No,
