Chapter Thirteen: Mia

I finally got around to calling my mom, and I made the mistake of telling her about the incident with the spilled iced tea. She was horrified and demanded that I tell her if anything else happens. “Yeah Mom, of course I’d tell you if something else happens; that guy was a total jerk.” She lectured me for about five more minutes before I said, “Listen, I have a class right now, so can I talk to you later?” There was a pause before she said, “Mia, I literally have your schedule in front of me right now. I’m the dean at your college, are you really not able to come up with a better excuse? You should just go, I don’t want to talk to someone who doesn’t want to talk to me.” I was so shocked that all I could manage was, “No Mom, umm...” before she hung up on me. I felt terrible, and resolved to visit her in her office as soon as I got the chance.

I found Aria and Claire sitting on a bench and they invited me to join them for lunch. I gladly accepted, and we were soon on our way to a pizza place just outside of campus. I realized that I hadn’t yet been to Savannah’s cafeteria, and when I said that out loud both my friends started laughing. “You’re such a freshie, it’s kinda cute,” Claire said, and Aria said, “We don’t go there because it’s disgusting and overpriced.” I frowned slightly; if wealthy people like Aria and Claire found it overpriced, who did eat there? “Plus, there are no vegetarian options,” added Claire.

Both girls passionately reminisced over the time they had staged a protest outside the cafeteria doors, and about two dozen students were almost suspended. “Sarah Abbot’s father is a big shot lawyer though, and he threatened to sue the school if they suspended the students, so that was pretty cool,” said Aria happily. I worried about my mom, having to field such threats from lawyers, as well as dealing with protesting students. “I thought it was because Vince Linguini’s dad is in the Mafia, and he sent a death threat,” said Claire. Oh God, now Mom had to deal with mobsters too? What is this school anyway?

Aria was indignantly stating that not all Italians are in the Mafia and Claire was reminding Aria that she was only a quarter Italian when I interrupted them. “Who’s Eric Cage?” They both fell silent and Aria looked like she had swallowed something unpleasant. Claire looked at Aria before saying, “He’s an awful- awful guy. He’s in the year above us; why do you ask?” She threw a tentative look at Aria while she said the latter part. I decided to tell them exactly what happened, leaving out the crazy sex dream however. We were seated at a table in the pizza parlor and I hid behind a menu when I told them about how he had looked down my shirt.
