Chapter One.. Rita flipped from channel to channel. Britney Spears. Flip. Backstreet Boys favorite videos. Flip. '900 channels and nothings on...well, I guess if worst comes to worst I can watch cartoons..' Flip. 'Oh goodie, Tom and Jerry. Nothing puts me in a better mood then watching cartoon violence.' she thought bitterly. Suddenly the telephone rang. She looked for the phone and after about five rings she discovered that she was sitting on it. 'So THATS what that was.' she thought with a smirk. She pressed the answer button on the phone and lifted the reciever to her ear. "Hello?" "Hey Stupid." a cheerful voice answered "Hey Ugly." she said with a grin. Only one person she knew could get away with calling her names. It was James, one of her closest friends. "What took you so long to answer the phone?" he asked "I had to find the damn thing" "Where was it?" "I was sitting on it!" He laughed at her reply "So, what do you want? yourewasting my precious cartoon watching time!" "Cartoons? Cool! whats on?" he asked with mock enthusiasim "Some stupid Tom and Jerry cartoon...but we're getting off the subject..why the hell did you call me?" "Umm...wait...give me a second to remember...oh yea! Fred's throwing another party and he and Nicky wanted me to ask you if youd come." "When is it?" "Tonight around 6." She looked at the clock. It was 4 o'clock now. She had two hours to get ready (which she could do in 15 minutes) "ok..can you drive me?" "Sure. I gotta go now..see ya around 5:30 ok?" "Ok. bye." They both hung up the phone at the same time. She turned her attention back to the tv and tried to follow the plot of the cartoon. To Be Continued
