Chapter Six

When I got back into the dorm, there was a note on the inside of the room door from Georgia. Hey, Beck! Achievement unlocked: second date! I’ll probably be out late. Feel free to look over my notes for Math if you need to, I know yours are almost certainly shit. It was signed in her sprawling, sloppy hand and even if I felt a little disappointed that she wasn’t there, at least I could take vicarious pleasure in the fact that Gigi was enjoying herself with the guy she’d had such a good time with.

I threw myself onto the couch, sighing. I had been so anxious and worked up to talk to Johnny; it was hard not to feel depressed and frustrated that he’d been more into the game than me. Sociopaths don’t have the ability to empathize… One of the bits from an article I had read filled my mind with suspicion. Good God, Becky, if being into a damned football game is a sign of sociopathy, then every freaking boy in the frat should have his room tossed to see if he’s hiding a corpse. It certainly reeked enough to cover up the smell of a rotting body.

I shook my head and turned the TV on to have some kind of background noise. I still felt nauseated and in spite of the shower I had taken earlier, I felt weirdly grimy and dirty after the gross smell of the Phi Kappa house. I sat up on the couch and decided that a shower couldn’t possibly hurt; it might actually make me feel a little better.

I walked into my part of the dorm room and grabbed a fresh towel from my closet. If Georgia for some reason came home from her date early — and I could only think that it would be a failure of a date if she did — it wasn’t like she would care if I was walking around in a towel. I brought my phone into the shower room with me and turned on a Nirvana album. One of my friends in high school, a member of the Creative Writing Club, had turned me onto them. Lisa had been obsessed with Kurt Cobain and had said on more than one occasion, “If there’s ever such a thing as a time machine, I am totally going to go back in time to before he met that bitch Courtney and I’m going to get him to knock me up and then I’ll have a little Kurt Junior to myself.” I was pretty sure she was more than a little crazy, but her taste in music had been worth following; she’d turned me on to a bunch of bands from that era: Mudhoney, The Melvins, Sonic Youth, Breeders.

I started the water and flipped through my songs until I came to “Lithium.” That seemed to suit my mood pretty well, and I turned it all the way up on the speaker dock, stripping out of my clothes and slipping into the steaming water.
