ODDS OF LOVE: SEASON SEVEN

Episode 20

Luci was trying to make sense of her pre algebra homework in her bedroom. She liked numbers fine and was usually good at them but not these kind of numbers, she thought with a twisted look to her face as she tossed down her pencil on the desktop. She would ask Uncle Spencer but he was in a mood today. He was currently sitting on the porch looking at absolutely nothing last time she had seen him. He wouldn't even talk to Poppy Andrew or Mama Glory. And Uncle D wouldn't leave the bedroom. She really thought her uncles were going cray.

She picked up her phone and pulled up the one website that she had googled and bookmarked on her phone's home screen. The website for Dr. Wallace Wilson who was the one of the few doctors she had seen that actually would do hormonal treatments on kids as young as her. Most she saw only would take them at sixteen. She didn't want to wait that long. She wanted the treatments. She wanted to feel - look - more like a girl. She especially wanted boobs. She wanted really big breasts, she thought as she glanced down in disgust at her pitifully flat chest. It was ok now because a lot of the other middle school girls at Bougie Academy were just as flat but ..... that would change.

She wanted to talk to her uncles about it but they were too spacy now.

Her phone rang. She looked at it and made a face at the phone.

It was Zora. She was seriously so over her since the party. Zora was fire and all with more money than God but what she had pulled on poor Theodore was wrong. Theodore was not that bad. Just different. He could have died.

Her face turned serious. He could have died yesterday. Just like Mama Glory and Uncle D and Nigel and Rebecca. She could have lost her family. She didn't like that.

" Yeah? ," she answered the phone.

" Soooo , " Zora purred on the other end of the line," I am having a little get together after the dance. Of course you are invited, bestie. Especially since you are going with Alan. Nice. He's cute and fourteen. I hear he's pan too. Fire. "

Luci said," I don't think I will be there. Thanks for the invite though. "

Zora laughed in much disbelief. " What? Come on. Nobody misses any of my parties. The last one was so good. " She laughed even more. " That video was so funny. What a loser. I can't believe that geek is your cousin. The look on his face when he fell in the pool ! "

Luci narrowed her eyes. She really really really didn't like this girl. How dare she laugh at Theodore. He didn't really hurt anyone. "That was not funny. He could have been hurt bad ! And Diamond pushed him! He can't swim ! He could have drowned! "

Zora stopped laughing abruptly. Her voice turned cold as ice as she said," It was a joke. Just like him. He really doesn't belong at Barrington you know. He's a loser. Just like that poor charity case Sol Klein. You know you need to be very careful hanging around those losers. They're going to destroy your social life. "

Luci hung up on Zora Mayfield. " Bitch. "
