Where am I? I go to classes?"

Jill said, "One, Jill's been called out of town on family business and won't be back for four days. Two, horrible cramps. Three, the power's out, so I can't take a shower. You wouldn't want me to come to work gross, would you?"

Angela pursed her lips. "I don't call in sick. That's what antibiotics are for."
