“Ummm should we leave” Pepper laughed as she saw my body’s reaction.

“Yes,” Abby and I screamed in unison.

“Yes,” Ivy joined in. “Pepper go pop some popcorn and bring it to me then lock the door” Everyone stared at Ivy.  Ivy just shrugged her shoulders.

“Hell, I’m not leaving” she informed everyone.

“Did we just see what we saw?” Pepper screamed at me from the sink as she was brushing her teeth. I was in the shower washing my hair and still in complete bliss of last night and earlier today.

“Yup” I answered with a smile.

“What happened with you and her?” Ivy walked in and sat on the toilet pulling out the gel and began to do her hair. I kinda froze, I couldn’t tell them but the answer to the question involved what happened to me a week back. I just buried my head into the hot water.

“Corrine will you get out of the fucking shower already” Ivy hissed at me. “If we are going to go out tonight we need to rush this along.” I poked my head out and looked at them.

“Yea Abby will be back any minute” Pepper winked at me.

“I have to do something first,” I exclaimed wiping some of the water out of my face.

“Like what?” Pepper asked.

“You know what” I answered them pulling the curtain back.

“She has to break up with Janey” Ivy made the announcement.

“So you really are going through with this?” Pepper asked seriously. I turned the shower off grabbing a towel behind me and stepped out.

“I’m in love with her, I have been since I was 14 years old” I took a deep breath at the confession. “I don’t want to waste anymore time and it just felt like I was wasting my time with Janey.” I walked to the door, turned and looked back at them. “I don’t love her, I don’t see us in the future being old and happy, and she was a contemporary fuck” I was blunt but it was true. I turned on my heels and jetted for my room to get dress and do this break up thing while I still had the balls.

“Corrine I’m glad to see you have this conviction and hope that we can no longer call you an ‘opportunity fuck’” I heard Pepper call out to me.

“A what?” I turned around to see both of my friends give me the ‘oh fuck’ look as the name flew out into the open air. “An opportunity fuck?”  Ivy walked out of the bathroom taking center stage.

“Yea, Corrine, you are an opportunity fuck” She crossed her arms and peered back at Pepper. “When you weren’t with Abby you would let anyone who showed you interest fuck you, well you fuck them” I thought for a minute as I stared at them.

“Okay okay you are right. I’m an opportunity fuck” I agreed then turned around and disappeared in my room. Ivy and Pepper looked at each other nervously.

“You better be glad she got with Abby last night or she would have killed us both” Pepper took a spit into the sink and began washing her mouth. “And because you know I’m like the token black she would have killed me first and in the first five minutes” Ivy rolled her eyes as she walked back into the bathroom.

“There you go with that ‘I’m Black’ shit” Ivy flopped more gel into her hair. “You aren’t the only fucking minority here, remember I’m Asian so that means if some scary shit went down we would both die and Corrine would be the only one running in the dark woods with our blood on her shirt, the only fucking survivor.”

“I heard that” I exclaimed walking back into the living room to grab some of my clothes from the folded pile on the sofa. “I’m not a virgin so I would die too” I defended. “And I’m gay so that places me as the minority too”

“But still if some scary shit went down you are the one that would most likely survive.” Pepper added in.

“No, Corrine is right” Ivy jumped in. “I think this would be one of the scary movies that no one would survive.”

“Yea but then there’s Janey, she’s blonde and if you notice the blonde survive.” Pepper informed causing Ivy and me both to ponder.

“But Janey is gay too” Ivy went on. I just shook my head.

“That doesn’t matter she’s blonde she will survive. I would die in a fucked up way maybe mid way into the film. Pepper, depending if she is Janey’s best friend may live but she isn’t gonna want to be alive after all the shit she will endure. And probably at the end she will just bite the dust when the mass murder comes back for one last breath to plunge a night into her heart after he got shot like 5 billion times. And you, since you already mention you are Asian you would die in a way that was pointless and stupid”

“Go ahead and tell us how” Ivy rolled her eyes.

“Well given the circumstance of all the movies we have seen over the years, most likely you would be running in the woods and get a chandelier dropped on your head by a killer who we just saw miles away from you in the last frame.” I finished Pepper and Ivy just stared at each other.

“That’s stupid” Ivy spat out. Pepper raised a finger and smiled.

“And pointless” Pepper took a step forward. “So Janey is our only survivor, agreed?”

“No, not really” I said after awhile.

“Why you say ‘no’? Ivy asked.

“Because I’m about to kill her off” I exclaimed walking back into my room. “Hey guys, this could get messy, you might have to go to Peaches without me, just tell Abby I’ll catch”

“Messy?” Pepper bit her lower lip. “You want to take the kitchen knife?” I just smirked.

“Depends, are you asking that because I’m white?” I asked her and she nodded.

“Come on, we watched enough horror flicks to know that ya’ll grab the stupid weapons to only drop them when you need them the most” I just laughed walking back to my room and closing the door.

Shit, this was hard. This was really hard as I waited outside the library for Janey. I couldn’t bring myself to go inside so I just called her and told her I was waiting and would see her when she got outside. It was 5 minutes but it felt like forever. Fuck it felt like forever. Yet, after a moment the large brown wooden double doors opened and out walked Janey in a loose pink sweater and tight white jeans. Her hair was tied into a pony tail and had a pair of her reading glasses still on. She smiled as she ran down the steps to me attempting to jump into my arms but I pulled away and just stared at her.

“Hey, you have been so distant lately” She moved her arms around my neck.

“Yea, I know. I’m sorry” I noticed all in an instance that I couldn’t look her in her eyes and couldn’t figure out why.

“I’m sorry, isn’t going to cut it” Her arms wrapped tighter. “Kiss me to make it all better” She moved her head up to capture my lips but I moved back.

“Janey, I can’t” I croaked out then swallowed and moved my eyes to hers. “I’m no longer allowed to kiss you anymore” Janey furrowed her eyebrows at me. She dropped her arms away from my neck and just stared.

“Corrine, this isn’t funny” she exclaimed.

“Janey, do you love me?” I asked bluntly.
