Gabrielle sighed and held her hand out to help her friend up "Get up Shaz, I just folded those"
Shaz responded by plucking a skirt up off her head, tossing it at the wall and then clambering to her feet "Well I just thought I would make one last effort at not letting you go back to that bloody school" she said, pretending to sound exasperated.
"Not much throwing me clothes all about is going to accomplish" Gabrielle said, gesturing to the mess. It looked as if her trunk had just exploded across her room.
Shaz picked a bra up off the lamp on the bedside table and a shirt off the floor and dropped them into the trunk "I know" she said, "I was just having a giggle."
Gabrielle snorted "It looked like you were having a seizure" she said. She opened her closet door to grab more clothes for the pile that was already accumulating on the floor
Shaz giggled and fell backwards onto the bed. "God I’m starving" she groaned "D’you have any food?"
"Yeah" Gabrielle poked her head out of the closet "There should be something, ooh there may be cake"
Shaz hopped up of the bed exclaiming, "I love cake!" as she flew out the door, bound for the kitchen.
Gabrielle shook her head at her friend’s antics but followed her downstairs a few minutes later anyway at a slightly less enthusiastic pace.
"Ooooh lookie" said Shaz as she riffled through the cupboard, "Toast!"
"Toast?" asked Gabrielle, she plopped down at the kitchen table and propped her feet up on it. "It’s almost three o clock what d’you want toast for"
Shaz giggled "It’s never to late for toast" she explained dropping some bread into the toaster
"I think you’re nutters"
She turned around and saluted Gabrielle saying "Ta" and then laughed going back to her toast.
Someone rapped lightly on the backdoor, Gabrielle turned around and saw George standing there waving at her, looking bored. "Let me in would you" she heard him say through the glass. She nodded and got up to push the door open.
"Where’s Paul?"
"Eh" he shrugged closing the door behind him, and dropped into a chair "something about some bird"
"Ooh, who?" asked Shaz spinning around and rubbing her hands together gleefully "Come ‘ead and tell me Georgie, so I can tell everyone else in Liddypool"
"Dunno" he shrugged "What are you making Shaz?"
She sighed at his lack of enthusiasm about gossip "Toast" she replied dully
"Toast?" he repeated looking bemused "er…isn’t it a bit late for toast?"
"That’s what I said" said Gabrielle nodding knowingly.
Shaz sighed exasperated "You just don’t understand toast" she said "It’s one of those things, d’you know what I mean"
"Yeah" he laughed softly "Hey Gab, make us a cuppa will you"
She pushed him in the shoulder playfully and he grinned "Get yerself you lazy git" she laughed
Shaz’s toast popped up and she made a delighted squealing sound before she buttered it and came to sit with them.
"Are you done packing yet?" asked George "Paul said we should meet up with him and Dot at the cinema later"
"Oh" said Shaz, she swallowed a large mouth full of toast before continuing "Is that who he went to meet, Dot?"
"No Dot’s his girlfriend" he explained
Shaz’s face contorted in confusion "What? Who’s he gone to see then if not his girlfriend"
"Christ Shaz, I don’t know. Some other bird I guess"
"Ooh, so Paulie’s like that aye" she chuckled and winked noticeably at Gabrielle who rolled her eyes "You two must get along great"
"Yeah I guess so" George shrugged
Gabrielle laughed "Speaking of birds how is your quest to get fucked going?"
George brightened at this "Oh it’s going quite well actually" he grinned "You know that red head John was with last night?"
Gabrielle and Shaz looked at each other and nodded
"She sucked me off this morning!" he said gleefully, except he said it more like someone would say ‘oh I found a quarter’
The girls stared at him for a few seconds and then broke up into laugher. George just watched with a bemused look on his face as Gabrielle fell out of her chair and started crawling towards the wall to prop herself up. Shaz just kept laughing and trying to form words and breathe with no avail.
As soon as they calmed down George sighed "Are you done?" he asked
They all just looked at each other and started giggling madly.
Gabrielle cleared her throat from the floor "Wait a minute, let me just get this" she grinned, "Oh god!" and collapsed into laughter against the wall again "Oh god, I don’t even know, that was too good"
"How old was she mate? She must have been like, seventeen" giggled Shaz, as she elbowed George suggestively
"Yeah" George laughed "That was the best part!"
"But you just got sucked off, you didn’t make it with her right?" Gabrielle asked, she crawled back over to the table and sat cross-legged in front of George.
"Farther then you’ve gotten" he grinned giving her a hand to help her up.
"Hey" Gabrielle laughed "I’m a good girl, remember."
"Then why did you tell me you were worried you might die a virgin?" asked Shaz, she cocked her head to the side and watched with glee as Gabrielle’s mouth fell open and George dropped his head into his arms laughing.
Gabrielle sputtered "Well it’s true" she said at last
"Don’t worry about that Gab" said George "I mean, you’re at an all girls school there must be some…" he trailed off suggestively
"George!" she hit as hard as she could and tried not to start laughing along with him.
"I’m just pulling yer leg Gab." He cleared his throat and patted her hand while she sat there half seething half smiling "No really, it’s okay… Paul was saying something…"
"No, I don’t want to know" Gabrielle clapped her hands to her ears and shook her head "I can’t hear you" she said shaking her head
