Saltshaker

Kayla flipped through the TV channels for the third time, knowing the search was futile. It was the middle of summer; the only thing on right now was game shows.

Getting up, she went to her bedroom and grabbed her notebook. Tom had been on her mind the last few days, and she'd wanted to go over some old journal entries to figure out what she was thinking when she decided not to inform Tom about Fred.

When Robin poked her head into the doorway Kayla noticed her arms and legs looked tanner, so maybe she'd been lying out in the sun.

"What are you doing?" Robin asked as she breezed past Kayla, her blond hair swinging behind her.

"Nothing. Just thinking, is all." Kayla closed her notebook and placed it on the nightstand.

Both girls headed for the kitchen, and Robin took a seat at the breakfast nook, folding her arms over the glossy cedar table.

Kayla leaned back against the kitchen island. "Well, i thought about it. I really want Tom back. Even though i'm not sure he even broke up with me in the first place. He's just been giving me the cold shoulder."

"What about Fred?"

"We're just not right for each other."

The front door opened. Kayla looked down the short hall and saw Cheyenne. She looked stunning as usual. She was in a pair of faded jeans, a black Van Halen T-shirt, and black boots that reached her calves. Her hair flowed around her shoulders and layed against her chest. Her eyes were hidden behind chunky dark sunglasses.

Cheyenne took a seat on one of the barstools at the island, kicking her legs back and forth.

Kayla grabbed an orange and sat down at the table, leaving Cheyenne alone at the island. "So," she began, squeezing the orange in her hands, "I was thinking maybe i'd talk to him tomorrow."

"Talk to who?" Cheyenne asked.

Kayla took in a deep breath. Apparently Cheyenne was still mad about the accusations she had made about-what was his name? Oh yeah,-Glenn.

Cheyenne sauntered over from the barstool and plopped down next to Robin. She took the saltshaker from the middle of the table and spun it between her fingers.
