The Sea of Dreams

Chapter 7- 'Sass'

Chapter 7- 'Saturday Sass'

I pressed my cheek against the clammy coolness of the fridge door and let out a long exaggerated sigh. What was it about me that encouraged people to bring their problems to me? It's not as if I could solve them any better than anyone else.

I grabbed a bag of Wotsits from the cupboard, a large bag of popcorn and stomped my way upstairs to my room. I switched on my TV to a random program and sat there staring at the screen blankly.

Why would Sadie want to tell me? We've never been close and I don't exactly try to hide my dislike for her and her, what was supposedly, perfect life. I guess I couldn't have been anymore wrong. Why would her Dad abuse her like that? Why wouldn't she tell another adult? Who is her girlfriend? Most importantly- why did she turn up at mine, drop that bombshell, and then abruptly leave?

So many unanswerable questions were whirring around my mind. So many that it actually hurt to think about it.

I must've been sat there for quite a long time just thinking, because the next thing I know my phone is ringing from under my bed somewhere.

How did it even get there?

i abandoned the half eaten popcorn on my bed and dived towards the floor. I slid under my bed and reached towards the light of my screen, grabbing it and checking the caller ID.

Jason The Hottest Hunk In Da Town

I chuckled quietly to myself. Only Jason would give himself such a name on my phone. I immediately accepted the call and pressed the phone to my ear.

"ARIIIIIIIIIIII MY BABY DOLLLLLLLLL" He screeched in an octave higher than even I can reach.

I shot up in surprise and wacked my head, hard, against the wooden underside of my bed.

"Oh shhhh- ugar, ouch,"

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just that my phone was under my bed and I tried to get it and then you scared me with your girly squeal and I wacked my head and- ow," I rushed out as I carefully wormed my way out of under my bed, butt first.

As I flopped back onto my bed, I waited for him to stop peeing himself with laughter and calm down.

"Oh honey that is first class, I just- oh let me breathe,"

"Okay, okay shut up Jay I know."

"But darling oh my, I can just imagine that little butt of yours poking out as you try to wiggle your way out and omg stop, you're gonna kill me," he rushed out breathlessly.

I groaned loudly so that he could hear, and extracted the bag of popcorn from underneath me.

"So, why did you call?"

"Am I not allowed to call to my amazingly gorgeous bestie just to talk?"

I could hear the teasing in his tone.

"Well, I agree with that statement apart from the bestie bit- I'm not so sure, me and Sadie are pretty close ya see,"

"Oh my god why are you bringing that homophobic bitch up for? You know I hate her more than I hate olives, and that's saying something."

Jason had had problems with Sadie when he first came out as gay, because whereas everyone else accepted it, she would tease him about it for no reason and she was actually quite awful about it. I suppose she's learned her lesson now. I guess that this is just one of the many peices of proof I have to show that Karma totally does exist. I am a big believer in 'what comes around goes around'.
