The night after the party, a certain Serket is sitting in her hive. Normally she would be being the "blah blah huge bitch" that she is, but tonight is different.
She thinks to herself about a boy. A boy named John Egbert. And how he didn't talk to her that much at the party. It was like he was in a different world, perhaps ignoring her. She saw where his eyes were, looking straight at the other Lalonde. What was her name? Roxanne? No, wait, Roxy. So close.
He was looking at Roxy. And not at HER. What does Roxy have that she doesn't? Is it because she can act like a stupid drunk girl? Roxy doesn't share John's love for Nicolas Cage like she does. So why does he like her so much? "Ugh!" Vriska yells, frustrated. Just then she gets a call on her husktop. She opens it, and it's Terezi. Oh god, what does she want?

Vriska closes her husktop and sighs. Terezi is no help. She just loves to tease her and make her feel worse about situation. She doesn't know if Roxy likes John, but she wouldn't rule it out.
Vriska goes over to her window and looks outside. She sees Equius, her neighbor, sitting inside working on his usual robotic stuff. He's lucky he doesn't have to worry about feeling flushed for anyone. All he has is his moirail, Nepeta.
Oh god, what if John just wants to be pale instead of red? Or in human culture, just friends? She grabs one of her precious eight balls and breaks it in frustration. "WHY, JOHN EGBERT? WHY AM I FLUSHED FOR YOU?" she screams.
She looks outside again and sees Equius looking at her through his window, raising an eyebrow. She glares at him and he turns away. Tears start to form in her eyes as she sinks to the floor.
What did she ever do to deserve this?
