Near midnight, bellies full of ground beef and fried dough, the girls settled down in Kellyâs theater room. The brown walls and the eight rows of chocolate leather recliners wrapped the screening room in perfect movie theater darkness. Pajama clad and armed with their observation journals, the girls spread out, each claiming a recliner in a different row.
Kelly turned the canned lights as high as they would go. âCan you guys see enough to write?â
âYeah, this is cool,â Mina said through a yawn. âTurn the movie on for background.â
Kelly held up two DVDs.
âYou Got Served or Mean Girls?â
âNobody feel like watching Jessica on the big screen,â Jacinta said.
âOoh you are so funny. NOT!â Jessica said with far less venom in her words than usual.
âGuess that means You Got Served, huh?â Kelly said, sliding the movie into the machine.
Mina yawned again. âSeriously, I donât know if Iâll make it through either one.â
âIce down the back of whoever goes to sleep first,â Kelly said.
Mina fought another yawn. âShoot, just go ahead and ice me down then. Iâll just fall to sleep dreaming about being Marques Houstonâs chick.â
She moved from the recliner to the floor. Stretched out, she laid her head down.
âUn-ah, no you donât,â Jacinta yelled. âThese journals were your idea.You canât go to sleep yet.â
âWriting them at the end of the night was Jessicaâs,â Mina mumbled. âIâll do mine tomorrow.â
Jacinta put her recliner down with a thump, hopped out of the chair, and joined Mina on the floor. She placed a pencil in Minaâs slack hand. âHere we go. Dear Diary, Jacinta is the baddest chick on the planet. I donât know why I couldnât just admit that on day one.â
Mina laughed. âAlright, alright. I canât be turning in my observations with all those lies.â
Jacinta stretched out beside Mina and tapped her pen on the notebook, waiting for the words to make their way onto the paper.
âIâm almost done,â Jessica announced.
âI would be too if I spent half the night barely saying a word,â Mina said. âYou probably already knew what you were going to say anyway.â
âJealous?â Jessica taunted.
âYes. Can you do mine, too?â Mina propped herself up on her elbows.
Jessica pretended to go back to writing to hide the little smile playing on her lips. Her head popped up. âOh, whose house is next?â
The girls grew quiet, waiting for someone to volunteer.
âI volunteer, Cinny,â Mina said, scribbling away.
âThanks, Princess,â Jacinta said. She shrugged. âFine with me.â
âI canât do it this coming Friday,â Jessica warned. âI told you guys, I have a life outside of this soc class.â
âWell, if we do it in two weeks itâs a weekend my aunt will be away. Weâd have to do it at my fatherâs house,â Jacinta said.
Jessicaâs snotty voice returned to action. âI heard you lived in The Cove?â
âYeah ... and?â Jacinta raised an eyebrow.
âOkay, ew, Iâm not spending the night in the projects,â Jessica said.
âOkay, ew, the projects wouldnât want your fake-eye, fake-hair wearing ass there anyway,â Jacinta said.
âGuys, come on,â Kelly said.
