((That was.... different.))
Karin(and her string bass), Riley, and Marty all met up at the main entrance and exited together to catch the late bus home. The bus ride was uneventful, and each of them dismissed the idea of talking about the downsides of their day. Karin didn't mention Fenrick or drama club, Riley announced that she and Brando were over(and that Brittany was a slut that needed to be sabotaged), and Marty did not bring up his unsuccessful chick hunt or his slap to the face. When asked why his cheek was red, he simply said he headbutted a soccer ball with his face.
They all got off the bus at their respective stops(Marty and Riley left together, obviously) and walked home.
"Ma, I'm home!" Karin announced as she unlocked the front door and went up to her room. She pulled out her homework and began to do it. Calculus seemed like it was going to take forever. She bit her pencil as she tried to mentally work out the solution. She failed. She whipped out her calculator and began to furiously punch in numbers. Ah. Much easier.

Marty pulled open the screen door and let himself in, being careful to make sure the door was closed and locked before Riley was inside. He threw his bag down on the living room sofa and made his way to the kitchen for his stomach was growling something fierce. As he passed the phone on his way to the fridge, a blinking light on the answering machine caught his eye. He jammed in the button and the message began to play:
"Mailbox--one--you-have--one--new--messages."
"Um... Hi Marty... This is Erin... from school. I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. It was stupid of me to say that. ... So that's all. Uh... bye."
"End--of--final-message. Press-one--to-play-back--all--new--messages--Press-two--to-play-back--all--messages--"
"Yeah, yeah, shaddup," said Marty distractedly, as he pushed number five to delete all messages. So he did have a chance with Erin. Sweet, he thought. And he didn't feel guilty at all for having to take off his shirt to swoon her. Today turned out to be a good day after all.
Riley kicked the door and banged on it several times before giving up and going in through the garage. She couldn't stand when Marty did this to her, which happened so often, she was surprised that she hadn't learned to just go through the garage if Marty made it off the bus first. She went to her room and began to tear down all the pictures of Brando on her mirror and began to peruse through her collection of yearbooks, newspaper clippings, etc. to find a photo of Sanin, but she couldn't find one. She found someone that looked so similar to him, however, on one of the pages of her magazines. "Nah," she said, "couldn't be him."

The next morning, a Thursday, came as any other day does. The sun was just beginning to rise as Karin, Marty, and Riley rose from their beds and began their usual morning routine. Marty woke up and ran two miles before hitting the shower, his sister spent a good hour in the bathroom getting ready, and Karin went through two towels to get her hair to dry. Make up was applied, clothes were put on, shoes laced or strapped, bags slung onto shoulders.
All three of them(and Karin's bass) caught the bus and headed to another grueling day of exams and high school drama at [Town/City's Name] High School, [State Name].
As Karin trudged into the school, hauling her bass, one would realize that she was rather well off in the social rankings. She wore an aqua crisscrossed long sleeve baby doll top with a pair of white wide leg slacks topped off with sophisticated black heels. She bid the twins farewell and headed off to the band room.
If Karin was dressed over the top, then Marty was her opposite. He wore a pair of low-rise boot cut jeans that were tight from the knee up and a tight plain white muscle tee. He 'slinked' into the school, his large brass belt buckle shining in the fluorescent lighting. He sort of just loafed around on in the cafeteria with some of his teammates until the first bell rang.
If anybody had learned that Riley had broken up with Brando the day before, everybody would know it now. She was wearing a purple sequined top with a low neckline above a pink frilly miniskirt. To top it off, she had on a pair of fluffy boots that rose up to the knee. Nobody could associate her with Brando anymore. She was clearly out of that 'quarterback's girlfriend' look. Now she was free for everyone to look at. If class elections were held today, she would win whatever she was running for if she just bent over. She looked around the cafeteria, wondering if she'd see Sanin.
