Jennie
In the safe confines of the bedroom I dial her number, then quickly hang up the phone. Crap! What if Lisa hears me talking to Jisoo? That won't do... I type out a quick text instead.
Jennie: Mayday! - I'm in the lion's den. What do I do?
I call information and get the number for the theatre. After I've determined its playing times I check my messages. Not surprisingly, I have a message from Hae-in instead of Jisoo. Jesus, does she go anywhere without him now?
Hae-in: Have you slept with Lisa?
Jennie: No! Are you kidding me?
Hae-in: Why else would you spend the night at her house?
Jennie: How do you know I spent the night?
Hae-in: I'm Confucius, remember? All-knowing.
I shake my head. That girl can't keep her mouth shut for anything in the world. I'm surprised she hasn't broadcast everything to Lisa at this point.
Hae-in: So what are you doing? Do you have the cat?
Jennie: No, Hae-in. I told you I'm not getting a cat.
Hae-in: We'll discuss that later. For now leave some girly shit in Lisa's bathroom. The nastier the better.
Jennie: Nasty??
Hae-in: You know... girly shit.
Jennie: I'm telling Jisoo you said that.
Hae-in: She's sitting right here.
Jennie: Then tell her useless ass to text me back.
Hae-in: She said her useless ass nails are drying.
Pfft... useless nails is right. I've never understood her obsession with those things.
Jennie: Rosé invited me to dinner with the family tonight.
Hae-in: Holy shit that's GENIUS. What do you even need me for?
Jennie: I believe I texted Jisoo, not you.
Hae-in: Does Lisa know you're going?
Jennie: Umm... no. So you think I should go?
Hae-in: Hell yes I do.
Jennie: Should I be scared?
A knock at the door causes me to jump. Holy cow... I completely lost track of time! She probably suspects I'm hugging the commode again. I quickly put my phone on vibrate, slip it into my back pocket, and open the door.
"Hey," I greet Lisa. I feel breathless, and I'm not sure why... I guess all the scheming and plotting leaves me feeling mentally spent.
"Hey," Lisa repeats. "You okay? You're not sick again, are you?"
I knew it.
"No, I'm fine. I was just thinking. The movie starts at two o'clock; if we hurry we can make it."
