          I looked at my appearance in the large mirror as I finished changing for the party tonight. I wore a simple green dress that reaches to the middle of my thighs, it was covered in small white and yellow flowers. I supported it with an oversized matching green zip-up hoodie I stole from Fez's room months ago, along with sneakers and my usual array of rings and necklaces. I walked out of Maddy's small bathroom and step into her rather large bedroom. I sat on a small ottoman, crossing my legs and observing my surroundings. Maddy was looking at herself in her mirror, picking out her nonexistent flaws. Kat was laying on Maddy's bed while BB was looking for something she had lost around the room.

          Maddy and Maybe had always been close. Nobody really knew why, but they were. Somehow, they understood each other. Being neighbors, they grew up together. Maddy grew to cherish her friends and appearances, she was the type of girl to squeal at the sight of a bug, wanting to kill it. Maybe was the type of girl to rescue the bug and show Maddy how harmless it had been, she cherished the small moments in life, she understood how insignificant everything was in the grand scheme of things. They balanced each other out. When Maddy needed a reality check Maybe would be there, and when Maybe needed a confidence boost Maddy would be there. They were each other's Ying and Yang.

          "Do you think my areoles are weird?" Maddy asked, concerned. I started picking at my nails while responding with a simple 'no'.

          "But like the edges though?" She continued, not believing my response.

          "Maddy, they're fine." Kat replied, sounding calm.

            "Fine like they're kind of weird, or fine like nobody but me would ever notice what I notice?" Maddy asked, fully turning towards us. BB threw a makeup brush on the counter, joining the conversation, "Fine like shut the fuck up, Maddie."

          "Ugh, I'm disgusting. I literally look disgusting." Maddy concluded, pulling her shirt back up. I looked towards her and rolled my eyes, "Maddy shut up you're hot and you know it".

          "You're trippin, bitch. You need to like snap the fuck out of this post- breakup pity party because a) you're hot af and b) Nate's a fucking loser." Kat added.

          "He's not a loser. He's a dick." Maddy grumbled.

          "All dicks are losers." I pointed out, looking between the two.

          "Look bottom line, you need to walk into this party tonight like your pussy costs a million dollars." BB stated, blowing out her smoke and walking towards the closet. Maddy added, "For real, I'd settle for 50 grand." We all laughed along before BB finished, "50 grand is a million dollars."

          "Y'all got high standards. I'd settle for like 4 corona lights and non-rapey affection." Kat replied, twirling the mirror around in her hands.

           "That's kinda depressing." BB pointed out.

            "well to be fair, that's hard to come across these days." I replied with a huff, blowing a small stand of hair out of my face. Kat looked at me, understanding my point. While I'm not a virgin, like Kat, I don't have years of experience like Maddy and BB. I'm no prude, but the guys I've met at my school always seemed to repulse me, with their ego's fueling their terrible life decisions. It's hard finding someone I like enough to fully commit to, so I usually get so fucked up I don't even care who I'm with for the night.
