"Bitchesssszz."
Elle's slurred speach says it all.
" Zebra, how's Zoo? "
I slapped Brit playfully.
"You owe me big time. Sister asked me if you were sleeping at the dorm since she's not seeing you anymore at the lobby. I swear. If you so ask another week full of lies I'll forget you even existed Brit. "
I got my notebook and tried writing something for my lit when Brit eyed Elle and nudged me by my elbows.
"Give her that. She's been crying like a banshee. Love issues. " Brit stood up, still cuddling her red cup like a new born baby.
True enough.
She reeked of alcohol. Dazed and Confused.
"Yay. Girls night out! "
It was Brit handling me a cup.
" I don't drink. " I pushed it away.
"Come on. Loosennn Upppp. "
"Brit. Come home already. I want to go to heaven and not swim in the fiery pits of hell. My lies for you are already due, my guardian angels are now having a headache. "
"Or dare."
"No. "
"Just one teeny tiny si---"
Brit's hand holding the cup was gently flipped off by a hand behind me.
"She said no, Brit."
He sat next to me. We haven't talked since last night. I never knew he'd be here. I don't know what to feel.
"Mansonella ozzardi can cause arthralgias, headaches, fever, pulmonary...symptoms...pruri---what's that again? "
Thanks Elle.
Her voice boomed. Memorizing things like she should. It's finals week next week and yes sister. Even when we're broken we still have to study.
I haven't seen Brit since she excused herself to pee. After sometime in her drunken skit, Elle dozed off. I just sat there with him in total, deafening silence.
" M. ozzardi "
I haven't noticed Bran opening his notes. More so, I never expected he'd talk to me like nothing happened.
"What ?"
"Where does it reside?"
"I haven't read that part--"
"Think Zeb. I can't think for you. "
What. Did. He. Just. Say?
"I love you. Really. You should've known that by now but glitz and gold aside. Finals is next week."
"It's best if you use unicorns and rainbows as metap--"
" Lit can wait. Study these and the table I made for tissue nematodes. When I come back I'll ask you questions. And yes, flirting aside. One mistake. One kiss. "
"No flirting. You just said it! "
"No flirting. Just studying. " He walked out and excused himself to make some Coffee.
