"You know what we need, don't you? A celebrity to host a telethon for you. We can get Britney Spears to plead for a cure for Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome." Janet said trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm so glad you can find humor in my misery." Jasmine muttered sarcastically. She sat with her face in her hands wishing she could rewind the last few minutes.

"You know me, humor in all things and if it's about your misery, all the better! Come on Jass, it wasn't that bad and who cares what he thinks of you? I think he's an idiot and you let him know it. What's wrong with that?"

"Not that bad?" she shrieked. " Janet, don't you get it? I just called the man of my dreams stupid'. He'll never like me now!"

"So just find another Man of your Dreams' and be done with it. How great can he be if you find it so easy to insult him? Isn't this the third time this month? And that's with you trying not to insult him. Imagine if you were trying." Janet let out a laugh.

Jasmine saw Troy's jaw drop but she swiftly turned towards the bus. She hid her face in her books while Janet followed trying, but failing, to hide her amusement.

"What exactly is it that you find so appealing in that guy? Let's see, you just called him stupid, and last time you called him morally bankrupt, and the time before that he was a sexist pig...yeah, I may have to fight you for him." Janet said.

"Oh, I can see through all that macho stuff. The real Troy is sweet, intelligent, and funny." Jasmine sighed dreamily.

Janet made a face. "Now I see the problem. You obviously need glasses or a psychiatrist. You're hallucinating."
