James lets out a low whistle. “I guess that answers the question of whether or not the whole thing will be worth it.”
“Yeah.” I let his words run through my mind a couple of times. I’ve wanted a pop culture column of my own since high school, and only in my wildest dreams would that column exist in a paper like theChronicle. And now I have the chance to gain just that. All I have to do is take down my ex-boyfriend with a set of tasks designed to humiliate him, and hopefully, make him cry.
Okay, that might be a little extreme, but at the very least, I want to make him hate his life for the next ten weeks.
“You have a scary look in your eyes.” Corey scoots away from me.
I push back my own chair and stand. “I need to go somewhere I can think.”
Tessa gently grabs my forearm. “Are you going to be okay? Do you want someone to come with you?”
I shake my head. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m good. Or at least, I will be once I win this competition and kick that motherfucker’s ass.”
“That’s the spirit!” James cheers.
Blowing kisses over my shoulder, I head for the front door. “Thank you guys for everything, you’re the best!”
Corey calls after me, “Make him rue the day you were born, bitch!”
An evil grin spreads across my face. Oh, I will.
#LANAVSSETH
This is the very beginning of the #LanavsSeth channel.
@Jamesjoined #LanavsSeth along with@Corey,@Tessa,@Rob, and@Lana
JAMES:Let’s get down to business...
TESSA:To defeat the Huns!
COREY:To defeat Seth Carson!
LANA:OMG why is this even a Slack channel?
COREY:Because you need to come up with ways to torture your ex and who better to help you with that than us?
LANA:Okay fine. I could use some help. What makes a guy ready for a relationship and also what would make a bona fide player cry?
ROB:Deleting Tinder.
JAMES:Erasing all his booty-call numbers.
LANA:Could I get away with making that one task? To extend the opportunities for torture?
COREY:Totally.
LANA:Okay, what else?
TESSA:He should have to get a pet.
And keep it alive for the duration of the competition.
COREY:What about getting real furniture and more than one set of sheets?
JAMES:Make him go on a date with the same woman more than once.
COREY:And no sex!
