"Funny," Jaz told Mitch with a wrinkle of her nose. "How about you zone out this," she said giving his nose a quick flick," followed by a dazzling smile. "He'd miss me way too much to zone me out for long," she told Lydia with a nonchalant shrug.
Wasn't Lydia supposed to know this? Jaz hadn't been briefed otherwise so she simply looked away and muttered, "only a couple of times and never sober." She looked at Mitch, daring him to say otherwise and reminding herself of her New Year's Resolution once again. God she sucked at resolutions! "Who's Scott?" Jaz asked, happy to have a new topic of interest to distract her from her own problems.
She'd only talked with Stiles over the network but Jaz had noticed the similarities between the guys already, though Mitch was obviously older. "It's very weird," she had to agree with Lydia on that point. Well, that was blunt and Jaz almost burst out laughing - almost. It was more a strangled yelp, in actuality. "He's not that guy," Jaz had to come to the defense of her best and oldest friend. "Weirdly, he knows how to be friends with girls without screwing them," present company occasionally excepted.
