Have you been planning to leave me this entire time?” Mia asks accusingly, and I stay silent.To be honest, the thought came only just now… well, after my talk with Ryan.“Hi Ryan… um, before the whole mess at the club, Mia gave me your number, just in case I wanted to have sex with you… well, not like I want to have sex with you.”“But I’m not saying I don’t want to have sex with you either. I mean—since you were pretending to be interested in me, I’m sure you don’t actually want to have sex with me.”“But I’m not assuming! I hate when people do that. So if you did want to have sex with me, that’s totally fine… but I don’t mean fine like we should—I just mean it would be fine if you wanted to. But if you don’t, that’s totally fine as well.”“I feel like I’ve used the word sex too much, and I’m pretty sure I’ve been rambling, so… do me a favor and ignore

“Oh my God, girl, I hate you. Like, I *seriously* hate you. You're dead to me—do you get that, biatch?” Mia continued her dramatic rant as she drove me and Denise back to her apartment after my discharge. Luckily for us, Denise’s shift had ended about an hour later, so we all agreed to kick off our sleepover early.“Deni girl, don’t you hate this biatch too?” Mia asked, full-on theater mode.They both burst into hysterical laughter as they continue their exaggerated conversion “Yeah,” Denise chimed in, grinning. “She owes me for not introducing us sooner!”I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved her. “Traitors, both of you.”“You said it *Deni girl*,” Mia exclaimed, throwing a dramatic look my way. “Like, seriously, Lexi—how could you keep such a gem away from me?
