From the second I was born, this has been my path.

“Dude, you’re kidding me,” Ward says as he walks out of the bedroom. “He fucked her? No way. He really went for it and she let him? That’s nuts.” Ward comes closer to me and points to himself and then to the door. He’s got to go. “I hope he doesn’t catch something. His dick will look like a shriveled-up hotdog.” Ward then bursts out laughing. “Yo, mini hotdog! That’s great!”

Ward leans down and kisses my cheek.

He turns and he’s on the move.

“No, it’s good,” he says. “Mila is just being her normal nerd self. Studying these books with all words.”

He shuts the door behind him.

I’m tired and grumpy and… you know what?

I lift both middle fingers and wave them at the door.

“What are you doing here?” Violet asks. “No offense. You need sleep. You look like hell.”

“You look like hell spit you out,” Ruby adds on.

“Hey, thanks to you both for that,” I say. “Sorry I needed to get out of my dorm for a minute.”

The smell of coffee and sugar lingers in the air.

We sit by the window at the cafe and I know, no matter how much coffee I consume I’m going to doze off soon. My body needs sleep. Even a nap.

“Did you actually go to that party last night?” Violet asks me.

I shrug my shoulders.

“Well, Ward was there,” Ruby says.

Her tone pisses me off.

She really hates Ward. And I mean… she hates him.

Violet has told me a bunch of times it’s because Ruby cares about me.

She’s being protective.

I’m not sure what that means.

Ward might be a college jerk but he’s harmless.

“I went out with my boyfriend,” I say. “That an issue, Ruby?”

“Nope. I stayed in.”

“I bet Gabriel was in too, huh?” Violet asks.

“Don’t be weird about it,” Ruby says.

“Hey,” Violet says, lifting her coffee. “Cheers to us. We all got some action last night, right? It’s about time we empower ourselves to enjoy pleasure.”

I glance at Ruby. “Wasn’t Violet a virgin like fourteen seconds ago? Now she’s giving speeches on sex?”

Ruby snorts. “I mean… cheers…”

They touch cups.
