A few hours later, I’ve forgotten just why I felt so irritated today. I’ve also forgotten how to find my way to the bathroom of the Nobler Experiment, so I stop at the bar to ask Tessy for directions. I see her staring at me and she looks over my shoulder, where Sara and Abigail are throwing fries in each other’s mouths across the table. “I’m calling you a ride,” Tessy says.

“Pshhh! It’s a half mile walk!”

Tessy raises a brow. “Show me how you walk to the bathroom, then.” She points at the back wall.

“There it is! See? I found it!”

By the time I stagger back out from the bathroom, Indigo has arrived to collect us. Her dark curls bounce as she struts over to collect her wife and Abigail. “Come on, girls,” Indigo says. “Your electric chariot awaits.”

“Oooh, Babe, did you charge the Leaf?” Sara claps her hands. “We almost never get to drive anywhere, you know?”

“I know.” She and Sara link arms and begin walking to the parking lot. Abigail follows and I fumble in my vest pocket for some bills to leave for Tessy. I approach the car parked outside and I see all my friends waving their arms inside the car.

“What?” I start walking toward the rear passenger door. When I pull it open, Abigail’s hair blows out in the breeze and gets caught in my mouth.

“Other side, girl. Other side! We’ve been yelling.”

“Ok, ok,” I say, slamming the door shut. Abigail screams, and I see that I’ve closed her dark tresses into the door. It seems to take forever to get it back open and tuck her hair inside so I can close the door.

I walk around to the driver’s side and slither into the back seat, pulling the door closed. “FUCK!” I screech. “Now I closed my hair in the damn door.” The girls all howl with laughter, which only intensifies when we realize the doors are child-locked and I can’t even open it from the inside to free my hair.

Indigo is practically crying with laughter as she climbs out to free my long hair. “I’m shaving my damn head,” I say. “Drop me at Rinaldo’s for a buzz cut.”

“Nobody’s shaving any heads,” Indigo says, finally catching her breath.

As Indigo pulls out of the lot, Sara leans her head back on the seat and says, “Wanna hear about a mysterious real estate deal?”

“Always!” Indigo comes to a complete stop at the intersection as if there would ever be another car coming in this town. I roll my eyes as she looks both ways.

Sara starts chatting about a closing in the Realtor’s office in her building and I tune her out until she says, “Wexler Holdings.”

“Wait, what?”

“Looks like he’s buying up the neighborhood,” Indigo interjects. “I did see a bunch of movers loading stuff into the old Espenshade house!”

“Asa bought a house here?”

Sara turns around in her seat and leans on the console. “Something about wanting to keep a close eye on his investments without inconveniencing the college president.
