“Just so you know,” DJ told the others the next morning. “The night security guard is a total perv.”

“What?” demanded Grandmother as she poured her coffee.

“A pervert,” DJ explained. “A degenerate.”

“What are you talking about?”

The kitchen was quiet now and the others were listening too.

“DJ and I went for a little moonlight swim,” Taylor explained as she poured some orange juice. “But we didn’t know the pool was supposed to be closed, and suddenly the lights go on and this slimy little security guard is trying to pull DJ out of the pool and actually coming on to her like if she cooperated he wasn’t going to call the police.”

“He thought I was alone,” DJ explained. And then she told about how Taylor came to her rescue.

“But the guy’s a real lowlife,” said Taylor. “And I think we should tell someone.”

“We most certainly will,” declared Grandmother. “I will call the general and ask him to see that this pervert person is relieved of his duties.” She shook her finger at DJ now. “But no more after-hours swims, understand?”

“Trust me, I have no intention of doing that again.”

“Still, that doesn’t give anyone the right to take advantage.” Grandmother had her phone out now. “I’m sure the general will be very concerned.” She smiled now. “And I want to thank him for having his housekeeper stock the fridge for us.”

“It figures the perv would go after DJ,” teased Eliza after Grandmother left the room to converse with the general. “She’s got that kind of appeal.”

“What a horrid thing to say,” Rhiannon shot back at her.

“I’m just kidding.” Eliza made a face. “Can’t anyone take a joke?”

Casey laughed. “I think it’s funny.”

“You would,” said DJ with a scowl.

“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Casey glared at DJ.

“Just that you used to think for yourself.”

Casey rolled her eyes. “That shows how much you know.” Then she walked away. But as she walked, DJ realized that she was, once again, dressed like Eliza. Probably wearing Eliza’s clothes. When Eliza packed Casey’s bags, she likely threw out all of Casey’s oddball garments, replacing them with expensive designer clothes that Eliza wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with. Poor Casey.

“Why is everything such a competition with some people?” Rhiannon was putting a layer of cream cheese on her bagel. Only Taylor and DJ were with her in the kitchen now.

Taylor laughed. “Not that you’re mentioning names.”

“It just gets so tiring. I mean, it’s so junior high, don’t you think?”

Now Taylor looked slightly hurt. “You mean me, don’t you?”

Rhiannon blinked in surprise. “No.”

“I know I’m competitive,” Taylor admitted. “It’s probably one of my worst faults.”

“Honestly, I didn’t mean you.” Rhiannon looked directly at Taylor.

“Me then?” asked DJ, suddenly feeling slightly guilty.

“No. I didn’t mean you either.”

“But I’m pretty competitive too.”

“Only when it comes to sports.” Taylor laughed. “The rest of the time you’re a pushover.”

“I’m a pushover?” DJ felt offended.

“I meant that in the best possible way. You’re easy to get along with,” Taylor persisted. “Why else would I want you for my roommate? I’m the one who’s difficult.
