Mr Double's Palisades

Best Friends
Written by Fifteen

"It looks likes Joey has a girlfriend!" one of the women laughed as I followed Joey inside his house. I saw him shudder but I didn't take it personally. We weren't old enough to be interested in the other sex in that way, in fact we were going up to get his basketball.
"No, ma'am," I replied, stopping just inside the living room where Joey's mother was holding a Tupperware party for seven other women. I'm not sure if they were buying much, but they were sure drinking a lot of wine. "We're just friends."
"Sure, that's what they all say!" another woman remarked and this got them all to laughing. I blushed and Joey shot up the stairs to retrieve the basketball. I hoped he would hurry.
"Well, step in here, honey. You're awfully cute!" one of them told me. "What is your name?"
"I'm Susan," I told her as I walked in the room, glancing over my shoulder to see if Joey was back yet.
"And how old are you, Susan?"
"Eight."
"Such a pretty girl," a woman with long, black hair and too much make- up said as she leaned forward in her chair, "and Joey is an awfully handsome little boy."
"He sure is! Takes after his father," a woman behind me said and I looked over at Joey's mother. She was grinning broadly.
"If I was your age, I'd snatch that boy up!" somebody told me. I wondered what could be keeping Joey…
"So would I! Have you kissed him yet?"
"No! Gross!" I replied, not even sure which one had asked the question. It didn't matter, I guess, they all thought my answer was pretty funny.
"Got it! Let's go," Joey said from the doorway about that time. He had the ball and was headed for the door, obviously not wanting to be part of this little interrogation.
"Joey! Come in here and tell my friends hello!" his mother called to him and he walked in, looking down at the floor.
"Hi," he mumbled.
"Oh, so shy! No wonder Susan hasn't got a kiss yet!" someone said. Joey started to turn to head back to the door when his mother started in with the rest of them.
"Joey! Don't go yet, everyone wants to see you kiss your little friend," she told him. He and I looked at each other, both sickened by the idea. It wasn't that he was ugly, they had been right about that, but we were just buddies: Pals who played basketball together.
"Yeah! Give her a kiss!"
"Do it, Joey!"
"Come on, Joey! You can do it!"
"Slip her the tongue!"
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"......(cont)
