Chapter 3


Kay lay on her belly on her bed. Her feet stuck up in the air behind her. She eyed Simone sprawled out on the floor. "We are pathetic."

Simone nodded and continued to read the new Cosmo. Kay ripped it out of her hands. "I said, We are pathetic!!!" Simone lunged for the magazine and wrestled it out of Kay's grip. "You may be, but I sure as hell am not." With that, she swatted Kay on the butt with the magazine.

Kay sighed loudly, again. "Let's do something."

"Like what?"

"Anything."

Simone looked at Kay with an evil grin. "Wanna go harass Jess?"

"Race you to the truck!!!" Kay shouted as she bolted out the door and down the steps. She skidded to a halt when she heard her mother's voice. Simone almost ran right into her.

"Where do you think you are going?" Grace wanted to know.

Kay rolled her eyes. "We're just going to get a soda and see who's out."

"Kay, do I need to remind you that this is a school night?" Grace said pointedly.

Kay ground her teeth in frustration. "No, you don't. But save the act, mom. I know you couldn't care less where I went. Don't put up an act for Simone." Kay opened the door and motioned for Simone to leave, Kay followed after her and slammed the door against her mother's nagging voice.


Kay got in her dad's old truck. It was an old Chevy circa 1975ish. It was rusting in places and had a shitty interior, but that was fixed with blankets covering the seats.

Kay and Simone buckled up and rolled down the windows. They headed towards the Box, downtown.

Simone struggled with the radio. "Kay, when are you going to fix this?"

"I told you, when Josh Stapleton gives me my antenna back."

"What? You didn't tell me about this. He took your antenna?"

"Yeah, one day at school I guess. He just unscrewed it and told me that I could have it back when I gave him some."

Simone snorted with laughter. "When YOU gave HIM some? Haha. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard."

Kay grinned, "Yeah, so you know what I told him? I said, Josh the day I have to lower my standards enough to have sex with you is the day Hell freezes over."

Simone laughed, "And what did he say?"

"He goes, Well baby, better get a coat." Kay and Simone busted up with laughter.


They were still laughing when they pulled up to the drive-thru. As soon as Kay pulled up she started yelling. "Hello!!! Anyone working tonight?"


Jessica HATED working the drive-thru, but that's where they always put her. She heard the DING in her headset, but before she could ask them what they wanted they started yelling. "Hello!!! Anyone working tonight?"

Jessica gritted her teeth. "Hi, welcome to Jack in the Box. Can I help you?"


Kay recognized Jessica's voice. "Yeah hang on a second!!" she yelled snobbily.


Again, Jessica fought her frustration, "Take your time." she said sweetly.


Simone tried to control her laughter when Kay began ordering.

"Yeah, Gimme a double cheese burger with ONLY cheese, FRESH, HOT fries, and a MEDIUM COKE!"


Jessica punch in the order, getting madder and madder with each item they ordered. Not only was the bitch yelling at her, she was speaking really slowly like Jessica was an idiot. Jess read the order back to them and gave the total.

"Ok, but you better get it RIGHT!"


Jessica complained to her co-workers. "This woman is a bitch!" Blair, a girl she worked with laughed. "What's she doing?" Jessica rolled her eyes, "Same shit as always."

She looked out the window and saw Kay and Simone pull around.

"Oh, it's my sister!"

She leaned out the window and grinned. "You bitches. I was getting pissed off!"

Kay laughed, "That was the point."

"What are you guys doing?"

Kay shook her head, "Nothing. Mom's in rare form tonight."

Jessica rolled her eyes, "What is it tonight? Concerned mother, helpful mother, or best friend mother."

Kay laughed, "More like raging bitch mother."

Jessica laughed and went to get their order. Kay paid and got her food. She told Jessica she'd see her later at home.
