It was the beginning of the Fall semester. Morgan, a 23-year-old college student awoke to a nasty hangover in her dorm room bed. Her head pounding from the night before, she recalled briefly what her dad told her years before he had passed "Don't headbang too much at those crazy rock shows! It'll fall off one day, you know! You gotta keep your head on straight, so you can use your noggin' in college!" If he only knew the kind of "Rock" shows she was into. Morgan let out a slight chuckle and got ready to go to class.
On her way to class, she took a detour to meet up with her sister Peyton. Not old enough to drink but young enough to do burnouts in her self-modified truck. Being 18 and on the shorter side of height for her age, Peyton is not your typical goth girl. She's still getting the hang of college life and is eager for her big sister's guidance. As Morgan walked up to check in on Peyton, she saw another girl walking with her.
"C'mere you little cunt." Morgan said as she proceeded to give Peyton a huge bear hug. They both smiled as they embraced. "Who's your new friend?" Morgan asked. Before Peyton could respond - "Hi, I'm Sabrina! My name is Sabrina! I um just want to say I'm a huge fan of your music Morgan, OMG I'm fan-girling! Ok, that did not sound weird at all. Hahahahaha!"
Morgan suddenly raised her voice: "Are you her friend or not!? I could be spending time with my sister before class which is starting in about 10 minutes or do you want to waste more of my time?" After a brief pause, Sabrina said quietly: "I'm sorry, no I'm not..."
Morgan more calmly responded: "We can do photos, sign shit - whatever, just leave my sister alone after this, do you understand?"Peyton took a few photos of Sabrina standing awkwardly next to Morgan.
As Sabrina walked out of earshot, Morgan and Peyton both burst into laughter.
"You gotta stop telling people that I go to this school dude! Ha-ha!" Morgan said to Peyton.
"But you're famous! Ha-ha!" Responded Peyton.
Morgan yelled out loud: "I'm TikTok famous, bitch! Ha-ha-ha!"Little did they know that Sabrina had heard everything that they said...
