"Well now what?" I asked.

"We can watch Frozen."

"I'll pass."

"Come on! I listened to Dear Evan Hansen!"

"And? Your point?"

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you too!"

"Well, do you want me to take you home? We don't really have much to do, and you don't have clothes."

"Fine." I walked up to his room and put my uniform back on. I put his jacket over top.

"Nice jacket."

"Oh, this old thing."

John drove me home. I kissed him and walked inside.

"So you fucked?"

Alex. Of course.

"Shut up!"

"So you did?"

"Yes."

The three of them screeched.

"I hate all of you!"

"Love you too, baby sis!" Angie said.

"Well, Alex. Eliza."

"Yes." Alex said. "We did."

"Yeah." Eliza sighed.

"You say that like it's a bad thing!" Alex said.

"I mean it wasn't."

"Good." Alex sighed of relief.

"Was I okay?"

"I heard you through the wall!" Angelica complained.

"Really?" Eliza asked.

"Mhm."

"Oh."

"Well, no one tells Mama or Daddy any of this. Deal?"

"Deal." Angie and Eliza said.

Monday:

Ring. Ring.

School. Great. I brushed my teeth and my hair. I looked at my neck. Shit! I covered it up as best as I could. My hair barely covered it, so I straightened it. I did my makeup. I ate my breakfast. And went up to my room. Time to get dressed. Cornelia wasn't in the room.

I looked at the blue letterman jacket sitting on my dresser. I put on some ripped jeans and a yellow t-shirt. I kicked on some Vans and grabbed the jacket. I put it on while running down the stairs.

"Is that your boyfriend's jacket?" Cornelia asked.

"You mean Mary's older brother's? Yeah."
