"The is no greater curve...not the grade curve, not the hip curve, nothing is as dangerous as the wheel's curve. That's what my father used to say." Gita announced while staring blankly into nothing.
"What like a car's wheel?" Interjected Alan with the same smug tongue and obviously inept capacity, that always rubbed everyone the wrong way.
Jane rolled her eyes and began to doodle circles on her napkin with her finger.
She had known Gita Vortumna for two months now, since the first day of school. Jane was always smitten with Gita's philosophical tangents and imagined her as the long lost bff she never had. Alan on the other hand was just a pathetic excuse for a friend, a lost emo-wannebe who always just hung around. He had been sitting with an ipod ear pod hanging out of one ear chanting the months of the year, over and over again.The three were sitting in the well-worn booth at Laini's, their fave after-school haunt. Laini's was a place pent-up with the curse of being located across from a school; where kids sit all afternoon, order nothing but fries, consume the seats, and dismiss paying customers.
The waitress hurriedly walked by, and as she did, Gita pushed her glass of water over, causing it to tumble violently, spit out its contents and crash onto the ground.
Jane was shocked because she saw her do it, "What the f... Gita!!"
The waitress was mortified. Through her humiliation she chose to react by ripping her apron off, yelling obscenities and punctuating her rant with, "I QUIT!"
"What the hell Gita, that was such a bee-atch thing to do!!" Jane whispered as she stood up and tried to push through Alan who was still laughing in a nervous frenzy.
"All I did was spin the wheel! That waitress was ready to change her life, don't you think?"
