A staircase near the bottom.

Olivia sat on the third step from the top of this one and took a large bite of the sandwich.

Amanda held her buffalo sandwich. "Liv, you know she's stupid right?"

"Don't talk to me, I'll eat where I want!"

"I'm just trying to help."

"Oh, it's you." Olivia tore off the last bit of crust and threw it over the railing.

"She's really stupid ya know?"

"No dip." She shoved the last piece of the sandwich into her mouth angrily.

"She probably is herself..."

Olivia kept chewing.

"Do you want me to shut up?"

"Wo, izh jus roo to talh wih your mouh furr."

AManda laughed.

Olivia swallowed.

"Don't laugh at me."

"Not at you!"

"I wasn't laughing, so you weren't laughing WITH me."

"I was laughing about the statement you made because it sounded a bit funny and ironic and - -- Liv. She's stupid."

"Yeah, well... What if I am!? Oh gawd. Maybe I was a lesbian the entire past two years and I didn't even realize it! NO! Of course not! Though it would explain some things..." She shook her head violently. "NO! NO IT WOULDN'T! It would... BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER! OF COURSE I'M NOT!"

"I wonder why she would even think that? Could be because I'm always hanging around with you... or Rachel, or Kelsi, or Serenity... I hung out with Charlie, too, though! Except, he WAS gay... HA! I know, it's because I'm the only one besides you not paired up with anyone! Well, I can get a boyfriend when-ever I want! Matter of fact... Better soon than never!" She got up and ran up the stairs.

A tall seventh year was running down the stairs that moment.

Olivia, having no idea how to go about this, stopped him and blurted out, "AfternoonI'mOliviaandIneedproofthatI'mnotalesbianwillyougooutwithme?"

He stared at her. "Who the [censored] are you?"

"Olivia I., sixth year...?"

"... You're a lesbian?"

"NO! I'M NOT! AND I'M TRYING TO PROVE THAT!"

"So you're technically using me?"

"Yep!"
