Lilith Ashford

After grabbing a bite at cafeteria we went back to our class. The bell rang,, and I tucked myself into the alcove near the water fountains as the crowds of students flooded the walkways. Finally, I spotted Victoria’s high brown ponytail bobbing away and I sprinted through the crowd to catch up with her.

Lilith Ashford

Poked her arm eagerly. “Soooo? Did you get it?”

Victoria (fl friend)

The benches spread over the lawn were almost entirely filled. The sun was out, a few puffy white clouds drifting lazily across the crisp blue sky, unusually pleasant weather for October. We wound our way between the tables as Victoria argued with herself about whether we should walk off campus to get iced coffee.

[didn’t know why they wanted to be friends with me, especially since making friends wasn’t my strong suit. Most people considered me a bitch, either because they’d pissed me off at some point, or they’d talked to someone who’d pissed me off. Being known as a bitch and having a reputation as a partier were really the only two things me and Victoria had in common.]

“Goddamn it, did you really have to be such a douchebag?
