Shadow of the Day (Wolf Moon Sequel)

Chapter 17: The Bitchevator

"I'm hungry," Mirah groaned pathetically, flat on her back on her bed, head dangling upside down over the edge with all her black curls and waves hanging.

"An hour ago you were saying how you ate so much today you felt fat," Dakota said, giving her a weird look.

"I have a fast metabolism," Mirah shrugged awkwardly from her upside down position.

"And a red face," I chuckled.

She sat up and groaned, "My head hurts."

"Oh stop your whining and let's get food; that way you'll have one less thing to complain about," I jumped off my bed, going to the bathroom to knock on the door. "Roxanne? We're going down to get something to eat you want to come?"

"No," she said curtly.

"Want me to bring something up for you?"

There was the slightest pause before another 'no' came through the door, only with much less bite than before.

"Suit yourself," I shrugged, slipping on my flip flops. "Let's go then."

"You're going with pigtails?" Mirah tugged on one of my pigtails; they fell way past my cleavage, nearly at my waist tied like that.

"Yes I am, because I'm just that cool," I struck a pose.

"Oh yeah. You're the epitome of cool," Mirah said sarcastically as we left the room.

"Don't hate. You just wish you could be as cool as me," I pushed the button for the elevator and heard the ding as it showed up. And what do you know Rea and Caroline were in the elevator looking like they were heading to a fashion show. While Dakota, Mirah and I were all slumming in pyjama's.

We all got in and went down to the ground floor in utter silence while Rea and Caroline looked at me in distaste. When they got off the elevator ahead of us they immediately started whispering.

"Thank you for riding the bitchevator; please come back soon," Mirah cracked as we followed them.

"Bitchevator?" I laughed, "You need food pronto."

"No really? Hey maybe I can eat Caroline and Rea," she grinned wickedly, skipping after them into the breakfast area. They had vending machines fortunately and twenty four hour coffee and tea which was good for late night munchies like tonight. There wasn't too many people around since curfew was in the next half hour or so but there was a few of us. Wyatt was there, poor guy. He got completely attacked by Rea and Caroline.

"Man I feel bad for the guy," Mirah shook her head at Wyatt, who looked like he wished the floor would open up and swallow him whole just to save him from his two fan girls. "You should go save him," she said, nudging me with a sly grin.

"Nah. He'll be fine," I shrugged, pouring myself a cup of tea before I went to a table, finding Jared and Matt already there. "You guys came down and didn't tell us? Shame on you."

"Aww sorry. I figured you guys were having girl talk or something," Jared teased.

"How does this work?" Mirah whined. "It's not working."

Jared and I turned to look while Matt, who was facing her direction, laughed. She was trying to get the vending machine to work but it clearly wasn't co-operating with her.

"Somebody help me," she pouted.

"I'm coming," Jared rolled his eyes, getting up to go to her. I got up as well, realizing I forgot milk and sugar. But first I really wanted to see Jared try and figure out the vending machine.
