Chapter Seventeen

"Stop smiling too much, you look like Joker with no makeup on," Brandy commented as soon as I walked in the room after talking to Peter for an hour. She was sitting on my bed browsing through fashion magazine.

"Leave her alone, she's allowed to be giddy after talking to her boyfriend." Charlie said not raised her head from the book she was reading.

"Why aren't you on your bed?" I frown at Brandy, she always sits on mine when she's too lazy to climb up hers. I never usually mind coz I'd just sit next to her or sit on her leg but she was teasing me so I want to act like I'm annoyed at her for being in my bed.

Brandy just continued on reading her magazine ignoring me. She waves off a hand gesturing to sit wherever until she's done.

I rolled my eyes, I spoil this girl too much. I noticed that Leah wasn't in the room. "Where is Leah?" I asked, I grabbed Brandy's chair.

"It's Wednesday today." Charlie said like it was supposed to mean something.

"And?" I ask. There should be another end to that sentence.

Brandy smirks, "She's having phone sex with Gavin."

I was close to falling off the chair that I was planning to sit on, "Wh—what?" I stuttered. I had to hold on to the chair to keep myself balance. "No, you must be joking." I say in disbelief. I've known my roommates for over half a year now. Yet I never knew about this, though Brandy and Charlie are saying like it's a routine for Leah to do this on Wednesday nights.

"Phone sex isn't a joke. It's serious business." Brandy stops reading the magazine and stares at me intently. I know she's making fun of me now but she seems so serious.

I look over at Charlie who had also stopped studying to glance towards me. She just pursed her lips to prove that Brandy was right.

I glared at both of them, my neck started to hurt from either glaring at Charlie or Brandy. "How come I didn't know about this?" I say sounding hurt. We always share things to each other and I can't believe I'm being kept off the loop to this.

Brandy and Charlie shared a look and then they both laughed at the same time. Finally, they stopped, it was Brandy said, "Because we were trying to protect your virgin ears."

I could feel the blood rush into my face in embarrassment. Brandy likes to tease me more now that she knows that Peter and I have had sex already. I wasn't going to tell them but Brandy took me to a party last weekend, I wasn't sure if she gave me alcohol or a truth serum because I blabbered that I wasn't their token virgin anymore when she asked me just one question. So, Brandy proceeded to tell Charlie and Leah proudly that their child had grown up into a woman. My roommates are freaks.

I was about to say something when Leah walks in the room. And I could not believe it, it's like I'm seeing her in a totally different light.

Leah probably noticed I was gawking at her because she her eyebrows met in confusion.

"Oh, Lara Jean knows about your sexcapades with your boyfriend on the third-floor fire exit." Brandy answers Leah's unspoken question.

Leah sits on her bed and giggles, "So are we talking about it now?" she said confirming that Brandy and Charlie weren't lying the entire time.

I could feel my jaw drop, in shock. I've heard from my study mate, Beverly, that she had hates going to the third-floor fire exit because she could hear someone having sex in there. It never occurred to me that someone but is my roommate!
