NAZZ

Nazz and Sarah sat on the bed furthest from the door. Snug in their pajamas, the bed was littered with sweet snacks and treats.

     Sarah licked her spoon covered in frosting while Nazz munched on a family-sized bag of chips. Their snacks ranged from apples to cheesecake. "So what did you think of Penny's coat today?" Nazz asked before popping a chip in her mouth.

     Sarah just made a face of disgust at the imagining of the dreadful coat. "That was a coat? What? Did she make it herself?" Nazz and Sarah broke out in laughter. "It was god awful!" Continuing to laugh, it took to the point where neither of them could breathe before they calmed down. Nazz took a breath with a leftover chuckle escaping her mouth. "If I ever catch you wearing anything like that, I'll personally remove you from all social media."

     Over-dramatizing her response, Nazz clasped her hand over her mouth before nearly fainting. "How could you do something so awful?"

     "Keep it up, princess. We'll see how far your dance career goes." Sarah gave an ominous warning.

     Instantly, Nazz backed off with a hesitant smirk. "Jeez. Catty much?"

     Sarah only gave one of her devilish smirks as she unwrapped a piece of chocolate and plopped it on her tongue. "Please. Don't even compare me to a cat. I'm much worse." Taking a moment to chew on her candy, Sarah pulled out a can of whipped cream. "Nazz. You should really do me a favor."

     "What?"Nazz narrowed her gaze towards Sarah as she battered her eyes.

     "Will you go out and get us some ice cream?" She continued to bat her lashes as cute as she could. A younger Sarah could've gotten anything she wanted with those eyes. And if she didn't get it, then all she had to do was scream her head off. This Sarah used more of a flirtatious appeal as an innocent teen. However, she still took the same approach. If plan A didn't work, it was straight to planScare-The-Crap-Out-Of-Them-Until-They-Give-Me-What-I-Want.

     Nazz just sighed and shook her head. "Fine. But I get half of it."

     "We'll see." Her expression went from cute to sassy in a bat of an eye. Nazz just rolled her eyes and climbed out of the bed. With a slow walk across the room, she was finally out the door and in the hall. Nazz made her way down to the dining hall. Only a few people were there for some late night snacks or a cup of coffee or cocoa. In the back of her mind, Nazz was kind of hoping that she'd end up seeing Cody again. No such luck as the only ones present were a group of skiers that had just came in from the cold and a few loners just looking for something to do. Nazz sighed under her breath before she made her way to the counter, hoping they would actually give her what she wanted.

     After waiting a minute or two, one of the workers finally approached with a tired look on her face. "Yeah?"

     "Hi." Nazz spoke in a bright, cheery voice. "Is there any chance I could get some ice cream?"

     The lady made a sucking action with her mouth as if she had something stuck in her teeth. "We've got some bars in the back. Want me to charge it to the room?"

     "That'd be great. Thanks." The lady just nodded and walked to the back of the kitchen to open up a freezer and disappear inside. Nazz waited patiently, not wanting to waste too much time. She knew how Sarah got. No one should ever leave that girl waiting.

     "Nazz?"she heard a familiar voice behind her. Half-hoping it was Cody, she whipped around with a smile on her face. Oh, she slumped. It was just Jimmy.
