Right, so Angela's Memorial Day kind of sucked too. She'd spent half of it trying to keep her grandmother from feeding Abby every random thing on her plate, and the other half vaguely horrified by her little sister's new bikini and tanning obsession. Not to mention the way Brian Krakow kept looking at her.

"I have to call somebody!" she declared, handing the baby toff to her mom and carrying her phone into the house. "It's about, um, school."

To keep from looking like a total liar, she thumbed through her address book and -- eh, it had been a really long time since she talked to Jaye. She dialed the other girl's number.

As soon as her phone started ringing, Jaye muttered, "Oh thank god," and took the opportunity to start walking around to the front of the house. "DO NOT HAVE CAKE WITHOUT ME."

"Thank you thank you thank you," said Jaye upon answering the phone.

"Jaye?" Angela asked. "Um, you're welcome."

A pause.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"I'm at my parents' house," she said, leaving it up to her to figure that out.

And while she was figuring it out, Jaye was pulling the phone away from her ear to see who she was talking to. "And hey, Angela."

"Me too," Angela said, then proceeded to emodump all over Jaye. "I swear my sister is like all over this guy who was all into me in tenth grade and my grandmother keeps trying to feed the baby really weird stuff and I'm sunburned which is unfair 'cause it's, like, 60 degrees here, and -- wait. Did I ever tell you we had a baby? And what's your family doing?"

"...I have no idea," she admitted, thinking back. "Everyone's having babies, I don't even know anymore. And they're being... my family. I'm pretty sure my dad had to have swallowed a bottle of uppers before coming out here, and my brother's kissing ass, and my mom is suggesting new hairstyles on me because this one makes my face look weird. It's down. My hair is down."

"You have pretty hair," Angela protested, with a sympathetic noise. "Unless you put weird streaks in it or something."

No, Angela, you aren't talking to Zero.

"My dad hasn't left the kitchen all day. It's getting bizarre even for him."

"Is he escaping?" Jaye wondered. "That's what I do, but I hide in my room."

"Probably," Angela decided. "That and trying to keep my grandmother from dumping oregano all over everything."

Woefully, she added, "I would hide in my room with the baby, except my sister claimed it like five minutes after I started college."

"You've got a kid, you should be able to take it back," said Jaye, thinking this was totally logical.

"See, that's what I told Danielle," Angela kind of whined. "She's just a brat."

"Noogie her till she stops," Jaye suggested. Again, logically.

".... do you do that with your brother?" Angela was giving it serious thought, here. "Does it work?"

"I can't. He's like a giant. I can't reach the top of his head," she said.

"Freak," Angela commented. "You should just spit in his shirt drawer or something."

"Eh, I could, but he's a good ally against the chainsmoking lawyer. Best to keep his revenge to the stuff he doesn't notice," she reasoned.
