Admiring the Light

Ep. 30

"WINTER DANCE! WINTER DANCE TICKETS ON SALE, ALL GRADES! WINTER DANCE!"

"Ayo, Sport, don't you want tickets? It's even gonna be right before Christmas-!" Natalie would've bought tickets anyway, but she liked having Guinevere around.

"Mmph. Maybe if Jackie were here..."

"And you have now forfeited your choice!" Natalie pulled her sister into the line

"You're going, Sport! Me and you and Lola!"

"I'm not going."

"You'll go, Sport. I know you."

"I don't want to go, Nat. I already said that." Guinevere pulled away with a frustrated scowl.

"La la la, can't hear you, Sport! You want to go!"

"NO, I ALREADY SAID THAT I WON'T GO."

"DUDUDU, I CAN'T HEAR YOOOU-"

"GET IN THE FUCKING LINE, I DON'T WANT TICKETS. I'M STAYING HOME." Guinevere broke into a snap.

"If that's how you want it, Sport! I guess I can't force you."

"Ughhh-"

"Go on, Sport! Go sit down!" Natalie waved her hand with a cocky smile.

"Mmph..."

"That's what I thought, Sport!"

"This is just for you... only for you."

"Sure it is. Mhm."

"Why would I fucking enjoy it? My girlfriend is dead."

"Spend time with meee, Sport!"

"If you faint again, I will take away your gay privileges..."

Silence.

"That shut you up." Guinevere snickered.

"The worst threat you could give!"

"Faint again, and I'll turn you straight!"

"EVEN WORSE!"

"The Perry sisters, of course you're here. Two tickets?" The junior running the counter sighed as the realized who he was dealing with.

"Make it three."

"Three? Uh- 21 bucks."

"21?! Y'all are scamming me at this point." Natalie forked over the money, but she was tempted to just walk off at that point. "What. A. Scam."

"Young man, young man this is a scam. These are LIES." Guinevere adopted the most Natalie pitch that she could.

"STOP BULLYING MEEE. SLANDER, DEFAMATION." Natalie whined.

The sisters glanced back at the table as the guy running it continued waving their tickets at them. "Hello? There's a line?"

"Thank yooou!!"

"Uhm uhm, these are lies, slander, only I matter."

"We respect everyone here! I only enforce respect!" Natalie crossed her arms.

"We respect women here guys, obv-"

"Jokes over, Sport."

Natalie and her sister got their entire corner of the cafeteria to "ooooh" as they walked by. That's all this really was, showing off to the freshman. "Pay up, squeakers!" Natalie picked a random 9th grader to flick.

"Psst, sorry, have a tot." She whispered back down to the girl, taking a tater tot from someone else and handing it to the embarrassed freshman.

"Wait a minute! You're Natalie!" Someone from the other end of the table called out.
