The Present

“I thought you stopped talking to him??”

Jasmine had decided that with how upset Vicki and Sabrina had been about the first girl jumping into the pool, her doing it would’ve been frowned upon by them. So she had taken option A. Which meant that she needed a second person.

“Come on K… I need your help!” Jasmine looked at her fellow sophomore and probably the closest friend she had. Kimberly-Jane (or as she preferred to be called, KJ for short) stared back at her disapprovingly. She was the only one else in the world who knew about her relationship with Sir and had never approved of how casual Jasmine was about it.

“Jaz… this whole thing is weird! You won’t even tell me who this guy is. You tell me you’re frustrated with the whole relationship and that you’re breaking up with him. And now you want me to do who knows what to you in the bathroom?”

“K! Please…” Jasmine pleaded with her friend. Under normal circumstances she knew KJ would’ve refused on the spot. But she’d also been drinking tonight and drunk KJ was a lot more receptive to crazy ideas.

“If I do this you have to tell me who he is.” She brushed her blonde hair back out of her face as she sat back defiantly.

“You know I can’t!”

“Then no deal.”

Jasmine looked around the party in frustration. She was starting to regret her decision not to just jump in the pool.

“Ugh fine. But not here. I’ll tell you tomorrow at brunch.” KJ stared at her intently and extended her hand with a pinkie outstretched. Jasmine took it with her own and the two friends stood to make their way upstairs.
