Checking out this "Mountain Lake"

[Christine Bowen]

"He likes you." Christie said "He really does. And this was a favor. Thats all."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Weird damn favor to ask someone."

[Christine Bowen]

"Yeah, it was." Christie admitted "but I had to sell my dad the idea I was having sex with him. With Alex."

[Brigid Plunder]

"And people think I've got a weird relationship with my parents."

[Christine Bowen]

"Its complicated." Christie said.

[Brigid Plunder]

"Yeah, that's what you keep saying."

[Christine Bowen]

"Yeah, anyway, the short version is that I knew it would piss off my dad, if he thought I was banging Cassiel's nephew. And Alex is a chill guy, so he helped me set that up."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Why... why does anyone have to be banging anyone? We're in high school!"

[Christine Bowen]

"Which is why I'm not actually doing it." Christie said "Duh, that would be gross."

[Brigid Plunder]

"...well okay. Just... you can see where I'm coming from, right?"

[Christine Bowen]

"Oh, totally." Christie said "Um, I know this is weird, but do you mind if it keeps being a rumor that Alex and I are hooking up? No physical contact of any kind, I swear, but like, I'd go to his room to watch a movie once a week or so."

[Brigid Plunder]

"...what, so Haley can just keep giving me crap about it?"

[Christine Bowen]

"So my Dad can keep thinking its going on. He's going to be checking up on me."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Meanwhile, I get to look like an idiot for wanting to date him."

[Christine Bowen]

"You would anyway." Christie said "No offense, but well....y'now."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Great. Just... great."

[Christine Bowen]

"Hey, if you aren't cool with it, thats ok."

[Brigid Plunder]

"I guess I just... need some time to cool down."

[Amanda Weinrich]

"Ok." Christie said "I'll catch you later." she headed off, possibly to find Alex.
