Odd one out

Chapter 1

Brittany busted into the living room "Dang it! I can't get this stupid door to unlock, its a hassle every time!" She slammed the door, and then slammed her keys on the counter and rubbed her faced, obviously stressed out. "Yo you need to chill, have a drink," Cody offered, noticing her frustration. "Get me a beer, Codes." she ordered "I told you to stop calling me codes," Cody said, handing her a bottle of beer. "I don't care I had a long day..." She said, taking a large swig. "My day was probably longer, I have too get these reports in by midnight." Phoebe chimed in, from the couch. She was sitting cross legged, laptop on her lap, papers sprawled over the t.v tray eating grapes. "What is so hard about writing about space? Seriously, its just a bunch of planets and stars..." Cody says "Its actually a very intricate combustion of the unknown, smart alec... And I'm not doing descriptions. I have to create political propaganda swaying the board on why Pluto is still a planet." Phoebe corrects. "Well don't get all sciency on me, Mrs. Child prodigy," Cody gets defensive "I wouldn't make fun of her if I were you, Mr. Communications," Brittany chimed in. "I don't know why you all think communications is such a bad Major, I think its just fine..." "If you go into a communications class on any given day, it'll smell like weed," Phoebe says, typing . "Hey that isn't true, have you guys ever even been to a communications class?" Cody asks. "No, we're just taking a wild guess because the class is basically for the kids who just want to graduate college for the sake of saying that they graduated college, then they can all live in there mothers basement when their done," Brittany teases. "I had to fetch papers from a communications class once, I was pretty sure the teacher was drunk," Phoebe and Brittany laugh, even Cody chuckled a little bit, but then hid it behind a defensive look. "That's not true, my friends are very slutsecc- successfly- ah, successful." Cody slurs, tipsy. "Really, because I haven't seen Joe not tipsy. Or Steve. Or Nathan," Brittany said. "Speaking of tipsy... Go drink a bottle of water and go to sleep Codes, or your going to be the one smelling at your course tomorrow," Phoebe orders Cody. "You're not my mom," Cody says, cracking open another bottle, "Yes we know, but we still like to pretend," Brittany says, stealing Cody's bottle from his mouth and taking a huge swig. "Hey, give that back!" Cody says with anger, shoves Brittany towards the wall, then stole back the drink. Brittany looks really offended, filled with rage, "This is why Becca cheated on you, Cody! It's because you don't know how to treat a woman right!" Brittany wiped her drunken tears, as she ran away up stairs. Cody looks noticeably offended and tired. Phoebe puts her computer to the side, and gets up to help Cody. She puts grabs a bottle of water and hands it to him, "She didn't mean it, she is tipsy like you. Go get some sleep," Phoebe said, caring. "I swear you guys would make amazing mothers, but please stop practicing on me," Cody said. He took the bottle of water, drank it all in one sitting, and headed up stairs. Phoebe headed back to the couch to finish her paper. 

Brittany, was upstairs crying. Of course, Cody isn't what she was crying about. Everything felt like it was crashing down on her at once. Her board exams were coming up, which stressed her out. Her boyfriend wants to get intimate with her, but she can't give him want he wants because she isn't human. It was about time for her to get more Botox and re-bleach her skin again. All aliens have to every 6th months. She felt insecure every time she looked in a mirror, because she couldn't be herself. And on top of all of this, she misses her parents. She wonders if maybe, Phoebe has seen her mother, since she is into Astrophysics. But she's to afraid to ask because she can't let the humans know who she truly is. But little does she know that Phoebe has the same issue. 

Cody went into his room, and passed out on his bed, in his clothes. He felt like everything Phoebe and Brittany said hit a little too close too home. Because he was planning to do the exact thing that they were making fun of him for. He was just taking communications because it was an easy Major, and so he could say that he went to college. Cody wasn't sure what he was going to do after college, and quite frankly, he was jealous of Phoebe and Brittany because they knew what they were going to do with their life. Cody also really disliked it when Brittany brought up Becca. He never shoved or made fun of her like he did with Brittany, so what she said was irrelevant. The real reason they broke up is because he found out she was cheating on him. Now, it's a sensitive topic, and Brittany knew that.
