Greta wandered over to where Amber-Lynn was sitting, looking bored. She was amidst a group of girls dressed mostly in black, sporting nose rings, and chain-smoking light cigarettes.

« So I was walking by, and I saw him fondling his girlfriend's best friend! I can't believe he would do that. It was disgusting, » one was saying.

« So was this a long time before he started going out with you? » another asked.

« Hmm, maybe a month? »

« Is he still fooling around with her or his ex-girlfriend? »

« He'd better not be. »

Greta waved to Amber-Lynn and moved on.

A young girl was surrounded by a group of boys. When one would impugn her character, she would giggle and hit him playfully. Greta heard one mumble to another, « So, I finally broke down and bought the new album. »

The other laughed, and the girl whirled around angrily. « What did you say? » she demanded. « What did you say about me? »

« I didn't say anything about you, » he replied. The other snickered.

« Yes, you did, » she insisted. « Tell me what it was! »

« Relax, you crazy whore. »

She hit him playfully. Greta moved on.

Meanwhile, Leigh was explaining to Tom that she never meant to hurt anybody. « I never mean to hurt anybody, » she said. « It just happens. »

Meanwhile, Victor was explaining his theory of why MUSH girls were better in bed. Corinne was giggling.

Meanwhile, Jared was lighting his pants on fire.

« … so I says to him, “Don't be fucking with the Aes Sedai!” And he ignored me! » someone was whining.

Greta quickly moved on.

Geoff was looking around anxiously.

« Looking for someone? » she asked.

« No, » he lied.

« She is so not worth your time. »

« I don't know what you're talking about. »

« Realistically, you can either pull yourself together and ignore her, or you can dedicate your every waking moment to making her life miserable. Much as I'd like to see you do the latter, you should be forewarned that she will manipulate a group of men as stupid and delusional as you into fighting her battles for her. »

« Shut up. What do you know? Fuck you! You're just jealous. » Geoff curled into a ball.

Greta rolled her eyes at him. « You're not going to win her back. She's done toying with you. Later, Eeyore. »

Greta moved on.
