"Hi Tara! How is school going so far? Hi Mandy, Hi Brandy!"and they all looked at me like I was a space alien! I continued"I wanted you all to meet my... friend Michael! He just transferred in and I thought you would like to meet him!"They looked at him, then at me and then they all gushed about how great it was to meet him.Mandy added "Finally we got a QB that might win!" she was rubbing her hand on his arm.Michael turned to Tara "It's an honor to meet you Tara! I have heard nothing but good. If you hadn’t shown me that ID, I can’t even tell you how awful my life would’ve been.’ Teniyah was her best friend and had been for longer than I’d known Laela. Teniyah was a few inches taller than me, and I always said I couldn’t date anyone taller than myself, but when I first met her the first thought that came into my head was that we’d all be the same size lying down. ‘Oh you say that now? Did you really want to get with Teniyah?’ ‘Not after I saw the ring and only after I thought you. For the first time in a long time he had seen her really happy, and then these last few days, she had taken a nose-dive. He felt her pain and wished he could do something to take it from her, but she didn't want to share this with him. Todd knew she had spent the previous night with Tony, and tried to call him at his hotel. Todd knew Tony well enough to know where he would be staying and was surprised to hear he had checked out already. And Todd was not one to pry. If Kelly wanted to tell him. You should be fine.” He paused a moment and Em noted the sound of his fingers tapping his desk. “What time will you be back?”Em turned to Amanda. “When do we return?” She shrugged. “This is a big deal with free liquor, so there will be parties all night which we’ll have to attend. Various industry execs will be hovering, so this is my chance to hob-nob and brown nose. I was planning on grabbing a red-eye back first thing in the morning. We may have to be poured into our seats, but it’ll be.
