Phoebus was completely convinced that Esmeralda had super senses.
"Come on in, lover boy! I have to tell you something!" She shouted just before someone had knocked on her dorm door. Flynn opened the door and walked over to the worn out sofa in the room, flopping down. The room was like every other dorm, simply personalized with scattered clothing, books, food wrappers, a T.V. and an old sofa. And it hadn't been habited for more than a day. Phoebus and Quasi stared at the T.V. from the floor, watching Criminal Minds.
"Tell me, oh wise gypsy," Flynn began, settling himself in, "what has happened?"
Esmeralda smiled from her spot on the sofa.
"Okay so I'm at one of Meg's parties, right, and this guy is totally checking me out."
"Let me guess," Phoebus interrupts, dramatically clasping his hands together. "You flashed your eyes, puckered your lips-"
"I didn't hook up with him, shut up. Let me finish." She smacks Phoebus on the back of his head before turning back to Flynn. "And so I'm innocently standing there and this guy is drunk and he comes over and tries to make out with me and I move over and he makes out with the wall." Esmeralda laughs as if this was the best joke in history. "But he was totally into it! He left like a trail of saliva on the wall, it was bad!"
"That's better than someone slapping your butt last summer," Quasi said. Esmeralda laughed at the memory.
"Oh, and guess who it was?" She smiled. Phoebus and Flynn stared at her, waiting for the response. "Tulio."
Phoebus snickered, "That jackass that cheated on you with Chell?"
"The same one!" Esmeralda laughed, running her hands through her hair.
"Oh, the wonderful adventures of Esmeralda." Flynn joked. Esmeralda rolled her eyes and kicked Flynn's ankle. "Ow! Jesus woman, I was just saying!"
"And that's where you made the mistake," Phoebus said smugly. "Don't speak."
Flynn rolled his eyes as the bathroom door opens. Pocahontas stepped out, towel drying her hair and wearing sweats and a loose shirt that hung off one shoulder.
"Oh good, the gangs all here," She smiled, walking over to them.
"Hey, girl," Phoebus said, throwing a hand up to high five her.
"OH! Pocahontas! Your mail arrived!" said Esmeralda.
"Really?!" Esmeralda pointed to the bedside table where a couple envelopes sat. Pocahontas stopped drying her hair and hurried to get the small box.
"Are you expecting something?" Flynn asked.
"I applied for a contest thing and the prize is for a vacation around the world," Pocahontas explained as she shuffled through the mail. "Ugh! It didn't come."
"Good. Maybe then you won't leave me." Esmeralda joked. Pocahontas gives her friend a pointed look and walked over to join her on the couch. "Hey, don't pout." Esmeralda pats her shoulder, leaning her head to rest there.
"Yeah, plus those things are usually just a joke. You shouldn't stress too much about it." Phoebus chimed. Pocahontas gave him a half smile and sighed.
"You're right."
"Yes, I am," Phoebus replied. "So now in other news, Esmeralda has a job now. At Lunars." Pocahontas, Flynn and Quasi slowly turned to Esmeralda, disbelief on their faces.
"Oh my god!"
"Gross."
"You poor soul."
"Alright alright, it's no big deal!" Esmeralda said. "People get jobs all the time."
"Yeah, people do, not you." Phoebus quirked his lip in amusement and looked away from the T.V. to stick out his tongue at his best friend.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"You're a horrible waitress! You gave me the wrong coffee this morning!'
"So I gave you Caffé Americano instead of Caffé Latte, is that really a crime? Try something new!" Esmeralda snapped. Pocahontas laughed.
"You think they're still hiring?" She asked.
"Oh my god, please apply!" Esmeralda pleaded. "I need you there, it's so boring!"
Pocahontas rolled her eyes, nudging her best friend. "I'll consider it. I need to get money so my dad doesn't have to pay my entire tuition to stay here."
"I can get you money." Flynn offered. Everyone turned to him and stared. "What?! It's not tainted! I may not be the richest or the smartest but I've saved up quite a bit of money these past few years."
"Yeah, but you aren't one to give it all away." Phoebus quipped. Flynn crossed his arms and stuck out his chin.
"I would if there was something in it for me." He countered.
"It's fine Flynn. I appreciate it but I think I should do this on my own." Pocahontas sat down on the rugged floor and the five stared at the T.V.
"Oh isn't this the episode where the kidnappers are some religious cult family or something?" Flynn asks.
"No this is the one where Reed is adorable," Esmeralda answered, sighing contently.
"That's every episode to you," Phoebus said, rolling his eyes.
"Precisely."
