UNY Dorm Room, Saturday Afternoon

Apr 12, 2008 20:51

It was Angela's 19th birthday, but she didn't have any plans to celebrate, really. She'd let herself have a caramel latte at work --- ooh, rebellion -- and was now flopped on her bed, trying to do some reading for her women's lit final ( Read more... )

Her phone was ringing, a ring that was somehow just a little more obnoxious than it normally was.

On the other end, Rayanne was chanting. "PLEASE don't already be gone, Chase. PLEASE be lame."

Angela picked up the phone, glancing at it just long enough to see it was an unfamiliar Pittsburgh number. "Hello?"

"She picked up!" Rayanne announced to Rickie. "You take the harminoes, okay?"

Dimly, Angela might hear Rickie asking why he always got the harmonies before the pair started singing.

"Happy birthday to yoooooou, happy birthday to yoooooou, happy birthday dear AngeLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, happy birthday to you!"

The harmonies were very nice.

Angela's response was a happy squeal. "Oh my god, you guys remembered! And you so did not have to."

"Hi!"

"Hi!" Rickie returned. "How's the Big Apple? We're going to go shopping there this summer, right?"

"New York is, um, still here," Angela answered carefully. "My classes are good. And one of my friends from Fandom was out here last weekend, we went up the Empire State building and were totally dorks at the top and this security guard -"

Rayanne cut her off. "Oh my god! We. Totally have to do that. Our semester at CCAC" - both Rayanne and Ricky were enrolled, at least in theory, at the Community College of Allegheny County -- "ends on, like, May 15. And then we will come out there and we will so have a time and you'll show us the clubs where they don't card, right?"

"I can show you them," Angela answered. "I'm not so big on clubbing lately."

She put a smile into her voice. "But you guys should so come out here. I haven't seen you since spring break."

"That's not our fault," Rickie shouted. "You never come home."

"And you were never big on clubbing," Rayanne reminded her friend.

"I've been busy," Angela frowned into the phone. "It's school and work and Marty and ... sorry."

Rickie had one of those weird intuitive leaps he sometimes had. Angela sounded tired and stressed out, too much so for her birthday. "Is that all that's going on, Ange? And you can totally tell me to go to hell if I'm being nosy."

chasingfriends April 13 2008, 01:25:08 UTC

Rayanne gave Rickie a bzuh? face. Angela sounded fine to her.

chasingangela April 13 2008, 01:26:23 UTC

"Rickie!" Angela exclaimed, rolling over on the bed to a more comfortable position. "... I would never tell you to go to hell."

"Nothing bad is going on."

chasingfriends April 13 2008, 01:28:19 UTC

"So something is going on," Rayanne said logically. "because if it was nothing, you would say it was nothing."

"Chaaaaaaaaase...."

Angela sighed. She knew she couldn't keep a secret from those two.

"You have to swear not to tell Krakow," she cautioned. "Or Sharon. Or Danielle. Or, anyone who has ever talked to my parents."

"She flunked out," Rayanne announced melodramatically, hand over the phone mouthpiece. "It's okay, Angela, you can go work for your dad again. Or go be an artist. College sucks."
