Part 3

We are having a movie night at my place. We are watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre upon Lydia's request and she's covering her face with a pillow.

"I don't want to see tell me when it's over." she requests. The sound of bones cracking come from the TV and she grabs my arm, her nails digging into my flesh.

"Ouch bitch what the fuck" I exclaim, she pulls away. "It sounds painful." she says in an apologetic voice.

"Shut up, both of you" Nat yells at us, obviously annoyed. Lydia and I look at each other for a brief second. "I know it sounds painful I hear it too, I didn't need you to help me empathize more by hurting me too." I raise my voice on purpose. Lydia tries to hide her smile as she says, "It was a reflex I just grabbed the closest thing to me." Lydia's voice also unnecessarily high.

"That would be the pillow IN YOUR HAND!" I take the pillow and throw it "accidentally" missing Lydia and hitting Nathaly. She glares at me and I smile apologetically.

The door opens and Kairo walks in with another guy, who I'm guessing is his friend, Kia. He turns the lights on and Nathaly and I instinctively hiss like vampires would at the sun.

"Guys, this is Kia. Kia this is Lydia, Nat and Adrianne." he ignores us.

"Hey" Lydia smiles at Kia politely. "Hey, Kia, can you turn the lights back off." I say and Kia nods and moves to go but Kairo stops him. "I actually want to make something to eat first." he lifts up two packets of ramen noodles.

Nathaly groans as she pauses the movie. "Can't you do that in the dark?" I ask Kairo and he gives me a disapproving look.

"Can you just do your shit so we can get back to the movie for fucks sake." Nathaly exasperates.

"They're not always like this." Lydia says to Kia apologetically.

"Yes, we are." I retort and Lydia flips me off. "Well, they grow on you. I promise." she tells him.

"No, they don't." Kairo says from the kitchen and Nathaly throws him with a pillow but he catches it and throws it back to her. "We don't have to grow on you. We're awesome, aren't we Kia?" I look at him.

He laughs nervously. I raise one eyebrow at him and he stops laughing. "I mean, I don't know I just got here."

"How is your first impression of us then?" I cross my arms. He starts fidgeting with his phone looking at Kairo in the kitchen for a rescue that won't come. "Uhm..." he starts. "Stop it, Adrianne." Lydia scolds.

"Don't mind her, she loves intimidating people." she reassures him. I pout.

"Particularly, men." Nathaly adds and Lydia nods in agreement. "No. She's just an ass." Kairo sits down.

"A fucking bad ass." I say. "With a fat ass." Lydia adds and we high five.

Kairo looks at his phone. "There's a party on the first floor, want to go check it out?"

"Fuck yes" I exclaim getting up from under the blankets. "Come on, get your asses up." I tell them and the bitches groan in unison.

"Cocktail dude might be there." I say. Nat and Lydia immediately get up at the mention of Travis and I smile proudly.

"Let me change out of my PJ shorts quickly. Two minutes" I lie through my teeth knowing I'm emerging in a whole new outfit. There's no way in hell I'm going to a party with this T-shirt.

I put on a tight fitting, black cropped top with hooks in the front all the way from under my boobs with a pair of mom jeans, an unbuttoned plaid shirt and my favourite sneakers. I go out into the lounge area. "Do I look gay enough?" I point to my plaid shirt.
