Two days later

Addy- I can’t make it. I was volunteered to chaperone the homecoming dance. Rain check?

Kettle- :P

Addy- Very mature.

Two hours later

Kettle- How’s the dance?

Addy- I broke up a drug deal in the boy’s bathroom. Then they threatened to ‘fuck me up’ and they were arrested. Fun stuff.

Kettle-Are you okay?

Three hours later

Kettle- You never answered me.

Addy- Fine. Pissed. I don’t like talking to the cops. Saw Trance though. :)

Kettle- He told me. Said they had to bring Radar up there to sniff some lockers.

Addy- The Dog? He was the shit. He also ate my cake.

Kettle- Yeah, Trance told me that, too. I’ll buy you some more next time I see you.

A week and a half later

Addy- I could really use that cake today.

Kettle- Why? What’s wrong?

Addy- They had some layoffs today. Luckily, I’m the one with the highest education here. Otherwise, it would’ve been sayonara Adeline. The seniority bitches are giving me the evil eye.

Kettle- Tell them you have a boyfriend that’ll kick their ass.

Addy- Do I?

Kettle- Do you want to?

Three weeks later

Addy- I’ve been thinking, and the answer is yes.

Kettle- To what?

Addy- To that question you asked me a few weeks ago.

Kettle- If you were a virgin?

Addy- No.

Kettle- No, you’re not, or no, that’s not the question you had in mind?

Addy- Yes and no.

Kettle- I’m confused.
