Party my ass.

I hate when my neighbors throw parties…

I haven’t been to one in ages.

Oh! Maybe that’s what we should do this weekend for our date. You know how we were talking about it, maybe we should go to a frat party! My roommate Stella is dating a guy in one.

Not really, but he doesn’t need to know that.

Uh, sure. We could do that.

Yay! There’s an Anything But Clothes party on Saturday. I’ll have to start planning my outfit. Yours should be easy, LOL you won’t even need a shirt.

Cool.

Do you think your brother would come?

Which brother? I have 3

I roll my eyes. He’s being purposely obtuse.

Drake, your twin???

Oh yeah, him. I can ask.

Good, ’cause I wouldn’t mind being in a Drew and Drake sandwich.

WHAT????

LOL I’m kidding. I just wanted to see what you would say.

Oh. Ha ha.

I’m picturing your face right now, and I’m dying laughing.

I bet you are…sassy girl.

Sassy.

I shiver, delighting at the nickname.

Wanted by many. Taken by none.

Looking at some, waiting for one.

“You’re goingto a frat party with Daisy tonight,” I announce as I hop into the cab of the truck with Drew behind the steering wheel.

“I am?”

“Yeah.”

“Uh.” He buckles his seat belt and puts the key in the ignition. “Why?”

“Because she wants to? Because she hasn’t been to one in a while and thinks it’ll be fun.”
