TRACY
I sigh as I plop down on the bunk I’m sharing with Leslie.
“Can I come in?” A painfully familiar voice asks for permission.
“When did you ever ask permission from a nobody?” I scowl.
“You know I’m nice.” Eric declares cockily as he lies next to me.
“Before.” I deadpanned.
“Ouch.” He dramatically acts as he turns around so he can face me. “So you’re Elsie, huh?”
“Yes and sadly, you’re EJ.”
“You sound so depressed. Aren’t you happy to see me?” He annoyingly beams.
I just whimper as I turn my back to him.
“Now that’s not nice.” I can hear him smiling.
Ugh. Why is he so bubbly?
“Anyways, I just wanted to make peace since you’re apparently a childhood friend of mine.” He earnestly clarifies.
I turn to face him and make a face, “Seriously?”
“Yup. Oh, and those facial expressions of yours didn’t change.” He smiles sincerely.
Sigh. For the sake of EJ, “Fine, EJ, I’ll be your friend again.” I tiredly say.
“Yay! Elsie’s back.” Eric jumps off the bed and then tugs me with enough force to make me sit down.
“What the hell?” I call.
“Don’t you want dessert?” He innocently asks.
“Fine.” I huff as I get up and go get those guilty pleasures found at the bar.
“So, is the news done sinking in your closed mind?” Leslie sits next to me on the sofa, enjoying her own bowl of ice cream.
“No.” I state but add, “I mean yes, but,”
“But what?” Des joins us, occupying all the space of the sofa.
“Jeez Des, lay off the sweets!” Leslie warns as she pushes him to gain space.
“But,” I continue, “I just don’t like it.”
“Why?” Les asks with a mouthful.
“I miss EJ, not Eric. In fact, I hate Eric. Is that too much to understand?”
“Backstabbing your old pal, I see.” Eric smirks as he joins us.
I just stick my tongue out like a child to annoy him, which he also does.
“You guys are cute.” Peter laughs as he ruffles my hair.
“We kind of are,” Eric says as I dodge by saying no.
Dana, rolling her eyes, and Denrie join us at the living room too.
“What are we all doing here?” I burst out.
I was alone at first and now almost all of us are gathered here.
“Chill there, Hulk. We’re just going to watch a movie.” Denrie explains.
So she talks.
