Erica couldn't let the circle of people with the power to strip her to grow any larger, so she took a stand. "No, Julie," she insisted as she brushed Julie's hands off of her. "I just want for this crazy day to be over and to start fresh tomorrow!"

Julie looked like somebody had just kicked her puppy. "You do it for your other friends."

"I honestly can't tell if Alicia is a friend or not anymore," Erica retorted. "Trust me, you'd be a better friend to me if you just left me to dress how I like, when I like."

"Everybody has vices, Erica," Julie quipped. "Nobody should be judged for what they enjoy."

Erica pulled out fresh panties and pajama bottoms from her dresser and put them on. "You may not be happy about it, but I honestly don't like being stripped all the time. It's embarrassing." She moved her laptop off of her bed and straightened out the bedding.

"So that's it then?" asked Julie.

"I'm turning in," Erica told her. "Good night."

Julie did not respond.
