Chloe

“You can stop checking your phone now,” Morgan teases as we pile around our living room table and each snag a piece of pizza that Stacy had flirted out of a guy in one of her classes.

“For real, Clo, you never pay attention to your phone but you’ve looked at it like ten thousand times tonight,” Stacy adds.

Morgan nods along, carefully picking all the veggies off her slice of pizza and popping them into her mouth.

“Are you seriously not going to eat the rest of that?” I ask, gesturing toward her stripped slice of pizza ignoring their taunts about my phone. “I feel like that should be a crime of some sort to maim a pizza like that. Stacy, can we call the cops on her for this?”

Stacy giggles, sucking mozzarella off her thumb. “If it isn’t against the law, it should be.”

Batting innocent lashes, Morgan just shrugs. “I’ve got a car show tomorrow. I don’t want to get all bloated. Did you know tomatoes cause bloating? I’m going to start cutting out caffeine, too.”

“Oh please,” I say. “You’d die without your morning coffee. I saw you that one day you were in a rush to get to work and didn't have time for any. You were like one of those horror movie zombies, murderous and sluggish all at once.”

“Coffee has caffeine?” Morgan asks, panic-stricken.

With a roll of her eyes, Stacy reaches over and snags Morgan’s abused pizza slice, taking a big bite and smirking at me from across the table. “I guess that leaves more for us.”

I laugh and nod, nibbling at my own pizza before again being consumed by my phone. I slide through the lock only to find that I have no new messages.

Morgan pensively gnaws on something for a second before spitting a half-chewed piece of pepperoni on her plate, frowning at it. “I thought you were a pepper!” she cries as though it personally offended her.

Stacy wrinkles her nose at Morgan but turns back to me. “Okay, you’ve got to spill it, Chloe. What’s going on? I’ve never seen you like this before. Are you waiting for a man to call, or something?”

“What? No! Of course not!” I sputter, shoving my phone into my pocket and trying to pretend my face isn’t turning candy apple red. “That would be crazy!”

Morgan and Stacy just look at one another, shake their heads, and frown back at me. I feel suddenly like I’m in the principal’s office getting a lecture. Stacy is going to be good at that once she graduates from her teaching program. Her look of disapproval will be enough to strike fear in the hearts of third-graders everywhere.

Stacy sighs dramatically. “Somebody is protesting too much.”

“That means it’s time for the truth serum,” Morgan squeals, leaping up to grab the bottle of Merlot I bought on the way home.

I bury my face in my hands.

Ugh. What am I doing right now?

Donovan’s not going to text me back.

Why did I have to send that dumb dinosaur
