* Miya reappears with her in the boat house. Nobody's using the television right 
now. She smiles sheepishly. "Okay, um."
<Miya> Thanks for going to the basketball thing.  I know you didn't want to.
* Claire switches games in the SNES. "It's ok. I had to read the book anyway, so 
it's no big deal."
<Claire> But that guy... 
* Miya blinks. "What about him?"
* Claire sighs. "It's that Alex guy. One of them, anyhow. He seems to have 
something against me, and it's starting to get irritating."
<Miya> ... Which one?  The one with the red hair or the one with the yellow 
hair?
<Claire> The blond one.
* Claire starts up Zelda.
<Miya> Oh.  I was pretty sure he didn't like me, but then he said he'd help me 
with the reading, if I wanted?
* Claire shrugs. "Seems like the opposite to me."
<Miya> I dunno.  I guess it doesn't matter too much.
* Miya smiles suddenly. "I beat him at basketball!"
<Claire> ( Didn't he sit that game out? )
<Miya> (No, that was Sally.)
<Miya> (It was Miya and Alex D. vs. Eric and Alex W.)
<Claire> ( Oh )
<Claire> Oh? Congratulations.
<Miya> Um, yeah.  Anyway, I guess I'm gonna find out where Harry's room is.  
I'll, um, bring my book here and read while you play later, okay?
<Claire> Sure. I can help you out if you need it.
<Claire> See ya.
* Miya smiles nervously. "Thanks. I hope you win!" Flicker and gone.
