Chapter 18

“Chasity, I can’t find my hair dryer. Can you check my closet and see if it’s in there?” Sidra called out.

“Sidra, it’s not in there,” Chasity replied dryly. “I already checked after you asked me the first time.”

“Are you serious?” Sidra yelled, “It has to be in there!”

“Why are you yelling at me?” Chasity objected, frowning.

“I’m sorry, Chaz. I just hate packing. I always feel like I’m forgetting something. It drives me crazy,” Sidra sulked.

“Will you calm down, girl? We’re only going to be gone for a few days,” Alex interjected with a laugh, dropping her book bag. Chasity was giving her a lift home.

“I know that, Alex. I’ve been up since seven this morning; I’m tired and I’m irritated.” Sidra rubbed her hands over her low ponytail. “I need coffee.”

“Oh no, the last thing you need is to be irritated and wired,” Alex pointed out.

“All right, fine,” Sidra sighed, sitting on her bed.

“So what time are we leaving, Chasity?” Alex asked, grabbing a bottle of juice out of Sidra’s mini refrigerator and taking a drink.

“In a few minutes. Is that all you’re taking?” Chasity pointed to Alex’s bag.

Alex shook her head. “I’ve got a duffle bag back at the room.” A grin blossomed on her face when she heard the rap on the door. “Uh oh.”

“Crap,” Sidra moaned as her mother walked into the room, surveying her daughter’s open suitcase and the clothes scattered on the bed.

“Um hmm,” Mrs. Howard laughed and pulled her daughter into a hug. “I knew you wouldn’t be ready, Princess. Finish up and introduce me to your friends.”

“Oh sure. Mama, this is Alex, she’s nice but bossy...and nosey,” Sidra joked. “And this is Miss Chasity, my roommate.”

“Hi, sweetie. Are you a new roommate?” Mrs. Howard asked, puzzled.

“No. I’m the same one that she complained to you about in the beginning of the semester,” Chasity confirmed.

“This is the snobby, ignorant witch?” she asked, looking at Sidra.

“Yep,” Chasity validated, shooting Sidra a side glance.

“Mama,” Sidra exclaimed, mortified.

“Never mind. Give me a hug, sweetie,” Mrs. Howard said with a wave of her hand.

Chasity wasn’t big on hugging people, but she found herself wrapped in Mrs. Howard’s ample arms.

“And as for you, young lady, when I called half an hour ago, you said that you were finished packing.”

“I did?” Sidra stalled.

“Don’t play with me, child. Throw the rest of your things in that suitcase and close it. We have to go. I told your father and your brothers not to eat until we came back. The last thing that I want is a bunch of hungry men in my kitchen.”

“Okay. Chaz and I need to get on the road too, Mrs. Howard,” Alex said, tossing her empty juice bottle in the trash. “Have a safe trip.”

“See you, girl,” Sidra said, hugging Alex and then turning to Chasity, arms stretched out ready for a hug.

“Nope,” Chasity teased, backing away. “You called me a witch.”

“So mean,” Sidra laughed as she shut the door behind her friends.

“Don’t take forever,” Chasity cautioned.
