Brains!

"We should set Tess up with Frank." she said smiling. Agreements came from around the table.

"Only if I am drunk." I said attempting to force a genuine smile. Only Lily said, "Oh yeah for you, it's only if your drunk." She was the only one who really knew.

So the check came and we it took us a while to pay, but it gave time for the conversation to change, but i had already been pulled back and down the way i had come. We got up and outside the resterant Maria came up to me and said "why only if your drunk? Dont you think Frank is cute?"

A sudden but not unfamiliar heat came over me, and my body shuddered. "I didnt mean because he was so ugly that i would have to be drunk! I meant becuase i was disgusting!" I yelled. " I am scared dont you see it in the way i hold my stomache in, how i dont lift my arms to show the sweat marks or how i dont wear short skirts. I could only handle a situation like that if i were drunk, if i didnt know what was going on.:

Bt now everyone was there and listening to me. Maria just looked at me.
