Chapter Fifteen

“And then he said he’d call me,” Maggie said the next day, concluding her story of the date. They were at a café near the university that Ned liked, having a late lunch after finishing the day’s classes.

“Ouch,” Kristina said, wincing.

“Is that bad?” Rory asked, sipping her bottle of Coke.

“Depends,” Kristina said. “If he calls, it’s not bad.”

Maggie shrugged. “It feels like it wasn’t me. I would never do that. Except with him, I did. Ugh, I don’t even know if I want him to call. I don’t even like him half the time.”

“I can’t believe you slept with him on the first date,” Kristina teased, a smile breaking over her face. “Who knew our uptight little Maggie was such a slut.”

“She’s not a slut,” Rory said.

“I’m joking,” Kristina said. “You’re totally the furthest thing from a slut, Maggie. That’s why it’s so funny. It’s so unlike you.”

“Yeah,” Maggie said. “It doesn’t feel real. What am I going to tell Weston?”

“Um, nothing,” Kristina said. “You broke up with him. It’s not cheating. What you do is your business.”

“I feel like I should tell him.”

“Am I getting this right?” Ned asked. “You want to call up your ex and tell him you slept with some other guy a couple days after you dumped him? Dude, that’s cold.”

“Don’t be mean to her,” Rory snapped.

“No, he’s right,” Maggie said. “I’m a terrible person.”

“You’re not a terrible person,” Ned said. “But shit, don’t do that to the poor guy. He doesn’t want to know that.”

“He’s right,” Kristina said. “You’ve moved on. Don’t rub it in his face. And now we can go out with our guys together! We’re going to have so much fun for the rest of the trip. What do you want to do on Friday?”

“Are you sure you want to go out with this guy again?” Rory asked. “It sounds like he kind of took advantage of you.”

“She only had a couple drinks,” Kristina said. “It’s not like she was passed out.”

“I don’t know what I want,” Maggie said, biting into her pizza. She hardly felt it burning the top of her mouth.

“That’s a first,” Kristina said.

“I know,” Maggie groaned. “It’s like I’m not me anymore. I don’t know who I am. I just want someone to tell me.”

“Like Weston did,” Kristina said. “But you have to get away from that. Forge your own path. Claim your destiny.”

“This isn’t a superhero movie,” Maggie said. “I don’t believe in destiny. But it would be nice to know what the hell I’m supposed to be doing. I mean, I didn’t even do my homework for today. I actually forgot my homework. Do you know the last time that happened?”

“Never?”

“Exactly. It has never happened. My life is falling apart. How did this happen to me?”

“Maybe it’s time to fall apart,” Kristina said. “That way you can pick up the pieces and put them back the way you want. A brand new Maggie. That’s what you’ve been saying.”

“I know.” She didn’t know how to tell them that maybe she’d had enough already.
