Do you know why phone companies make their ring tones so annoying? It’s because people won’t answer their phones if something awesome plays. This is why I set annoying ringtones for the people I love, and awesome ringtones I could dance to for the spam calls.
So, when an obnoxious ringtone woke me up the morning after mine and Kimi’s ER visit, I couldn’t ignore it. It was Mrs. Graycort. Can I just say how weird it is to wake up naked in my boyfriend’s bed, and have his mother calling me?
“Hi,” I answered groggily. It wasn’t quite noon, but it would be after noon back home. “How are things back home?”
“Rose Harriet Braedon. I want to know if you’re okay,” she said sternly.
<“Is there a reason we left before Rose woke up?” I asked my sister as she was driving Nate and I somewhere.“Yes. Because if I can convince the tattoo artist to come with me today, I don’t want Rose anywhere near our evil cousin,” she answered.Wait, tattoo artist? “We’re cashing in on your bet today?”“After last night? Yup. I’m mad and I need some form of revenge,” she stated. Nate was scrolling on his phone and ignoring our conversation.“Nate, you’re okay with this?” I asked him.He shook his head. “Not really, but she’s determined. The only thing I can do is
I came home from the restaurant to find a very sleepy and very annoyed Kimia. She was waiting up for me on the couch, and I use the term waiting up loosely. Her eyes were half open, and she looked like she was mesmerized by the television. Glancing at the screen told me that whatever she had been watching had ended some time ago.“I thought she’d be back at her sorority tonight.” Jimmy said. I had to smirk. I wasn’t surprised she was still here. I wouldn’t be surprised if she never went back.I walked over to her, and gently woke her up. “Kimi, love, let's go to bed.”“Rose fucking quit our sorority so I wouldn’t have to,” she murmured.“I know.
Two weeks after I’d gone into heat, Rose and I were wandering around the grocery store. Specifically the aisle that sold condoms, lube, ovulation tests, and pregnancy tests. Nate’s birthday had come and gone, but with school and work, we couldn’t really do much to celebrate other than surprise him with a cake and presents.“So which test do you want?” Rose asked. She was on her phone looking up the effectiveness of the various brands.I shrugged. “No clue. What does the internet say?”Rose pointed to a brand with a pink box, and three tests inside. The picture of the test on the box showed a white stick with two pink lines in the testing window. I looked at another brand that was in a mostly blue box with some pink on it, but the tes
“So, have you heard anything from the Greek council about the queen bitch drugging Rose and Kimi?” Sue asked me during one of our near daily skypes.I shook my head no. “Not since Rose filed the complaint. There just isn’t any proof that someone drugged her juice.” I rubbed my eyes. Rina and I felt so powerless. “Rina is still trying to get some girls to come forward if they’ve seen anything.”“Well, if I know my little sister, she has a plan in place, and the patience to wait for the right time,” Sue smiled.I smirked at her. “Probably. How are things in Michigan?”She grinned. “Pretty great. I don’t have to deal with bi
“Boo!” Heather grinned at me on the other side of the information desk at the school’s library. I was working, and taking advantage of the quiet location to do some of my studying. I had a tab on my computer open to my online biology book, and another was set to my notes.I looked at my former roommate, and gave her my sternest look. I put a finger to my lips, and said, “Shhh!”She giggled, and so did I. “If you could hold the look, you’d have the grumpy librarian look down,” she said.“Thanks. Are you here to visit me, or do you need information?” I asked her and walked around my desk to give her a hug.“I came to visit with you. Can I sit at the des
“I hope you’re not planning on leaving the house looking like that?” Yelena’s grating voice halted me as I had my hand on the door. I was already running a little late to work, thanks to a professor who kept talking past the time class was supposed to end. If I was too late, I’d miss the opportunity to draw Kimi’s blood at her first prenatal appointment.I made a show of looking at my scrubs, and glanced at the group of girls sitting in the living room. Yelena, Chelsea, and their sycophants were holding court, and I was their latest victim. Fun times. “What else am I supposed to wear in a doctor’s office? Louboutin heels, Armani dress, and a Prada bag?”“No, but blue scrubs? Really?” Chelsea commented.I shrug
“Tournament at PLE tonight, and you two motherfuckers are coming with me,” I stated to Nate and Jimmy while they were playing Soul Calibur.“Like hell, I am,” Jimmy stated. “I’m kicking this bitch’s ass.”“Fuck you, I’m seconds away from dancing on your pathetic corpse,” Nate replied.I shook my head. “Guys, I promised the girls they could have the apartment to plot tonight. We need to clear out,” I urged.Nate gave Jimmy a killing blow, and turned to face me. “Why are you giving the girls the place?”“Rina and Rose want to plot the queen bitch’s down
I tapped my pencil on the table in the library’s study room that I reserved for my tutoring sessions, and checked the time. Again. My student was late. I shouldn’t care, because I charge for my time no matter what, and I get my students through the university tutoring center so they track my appointments and make sure I get paid. Still, it was annoying to be stuck here waiting for someone who was struggling with basic math when I could be spending the night with my friends.“Sorry I’m,” a voice called as a girl entered the room, “late.”I looked up and saw Bethany, Rina’s roommate, staring at me in shock. “Hello, Bethany. Nice of you to make it to your tutoring session. You’re taking basic math, right?” I asked, getting down to business.
