“You know what’s weird?” Parker’s voice broke the silence in the room.
“That it’s two in the morning and you just assumed I wasn’t sleeping?” Mac replied, without missing a beat. The two girls were lying in the dark, both staring at their dorm room ceiling.
“Were you sleeping?”
“No.”
“Okay, so if seasick means becoming ill from being at sea, and carsick means becoming ill from being in a car, shouldn’t homesick mean becoming ill from being at home?”
Mac thought about this for a moment before she rolled over to face Parker’s bed. “I don’t know. But if ‘horrific’ means something that causes horror, then shouldn’t terrific mean something that causes terror?”
“And why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?” Parker turned her head to return Mac’s gaze.
Mac rolled her eyes and pulled her blanket over her head. “Go to sleep,” she grumbled.
Three days before Christmas break began, there were more stressful prospects than finals.
“You’re not moving out for good, are you?”
Parker spun around to see him standing in her doorway. She smiled hesitantly. “Oh, hey, Piz! No, I’ll be back in the new year. Why do you ask?”
He leaned against the doorframe. “Well you’re taking all your posters down, for one. Unless, of course, it’s just that you’ll really miss them over the break...”
She stepped over one of her suitcases. “Oh yeah, actually I’m planning on redecorating when I get back.” She’d been waiting to change everything about her part of the room since... a long time ago.
“Well I’ll have to come see what you do with it then,” he replied. His expression was warm and gentle, and it almost made her shiver; she couldn’t remember the last time a boy looked at her like that.
“Yeah, you will.”
“Merry Christmas, Parker,” he grinned.
“Merry Christmas.”
Parker Lee was fourteen and smitten with the boy next door all over again, and she didn’t mind.
“It would be really easy for you transfer to college here.”
She groaned, throwing the dirty dishes into the sink. “I’m fine at Hearst, mom. I’m happy. I have friends there...”
“Of course. What would you do without them? Seeing as you can never make decisions for yourself...”
“Oh great, this again!”
She stormed out of the kitchen as her mom started proposing she take the semester off then start college in Denver in the fall.
Two days after Christmas day, she was more than ready to return back to Hearst.
“I take it you’re already packed and ready?”
She looked at her bags sitting beside her bedroom door. “Oh gee, what makes you say that?”
He chuckled, “So what’s the count at now?”
“Sixty hours!” Her sister appeared in the doorway, and Parker motioned for her to go away, but she remained there, determined. Parker sighed. “Can you hold on a moment?” She put the phone down, and stalked towards her sister.
“Who are you talking to?” The eleven year old girl knew her older, cooler sister was probably talking to the same person she’d been talking to for the last few nights.
“Taylor, I suggest you get out of the way before I slam the door in your face.”
Taylor waited a moment, glaring at her sister, before resigning and walking away. Parker slammed the door and flopped back on her bed.
“Sorry, nobody in the Lee family can seem to shut up or mind their own business.” She was fully aware that included herself.
“I certainly don’t mind that,” he told her, as if reading her mind.
“That’s what you always say.”
Getting away from her family, it turned out, wasn’t the only reason she was anxious to return to Neptune.
Her roommate was also ecstatic to be back at college and Veronica seemed to be moving past the ordeal before the break. Certainly, they needed a girls’ night a few days after they got back.
“I have to say though, the best part was the look of horror on my mom’s face when my dad dropped the turkey,” Mac laughed.
“My personal favourite was when our cat climbed up the tree and brought the whole thing to the ground,” Parker grinned. The other two girls laughed and continued to chow down on their pizza.
“So no exciting stories from you, Veronica?” Mac wondered.
Parker only knew that Veronica lived with her dad and was close with him. It wasn’t until then that she wondered if she had anybody else.
Veronica just smiled and shook her head. “Unfortunately, no. No falling poultry, or cats, or trees.....” They all laughed again.
“So what movie are we going to watch?” Parker wondered. “There’s Crossroads, Glitter and...”
“Spice World!” Mac and Veronica cried in unison. “That movie is a blast from the past I really don’t desire,” Veronica added.
“And I don’t know if I can deal with Britney Spears, even if it is on an ironic level,” Mac chimed in.
“Well, Mariah Carey it is, then,” Parker declared.
The movie was turned off about half-way through. There was no amount of mocking that could make that experience worth it, they decided.
“Let’s play a game,” Parker suggested.
The other two girls looked at each other. “How are you so energetic at one am?” Mac asked.
“You think maybe it was the Red Bull?” Veronica laughed.
Parker grinned. Despite her suggestion, the girls remained on the couch in silence.
Finally, Veronica broke the silence again. “So, Parker, what’s the deal with you and Piz?”
Mac turned to look at Parker in shock. Veronica certainly was a good detective.
“Veronica knows about us, by the way,” she mentioned to him as they were leaving the radio station together.
“Okay...” he replied, not sure where she was going with this point.
“You’re... okay with that?” She looked at him sceptically.
“Why wouldn’t I? She’s your friend, isn’t she?” He took her hand in his as they walked into the food court to get a late dinner.
“Yeah, it’s just...” She pretended she hadn’t noticed the eye he’d had on Veronica Mars earlier that year, but it was constantly on her mind these days.
“Just....?” He leaned in to kiss her, and whispered, “Tell anyone you want.”
The beginnings of their relationship usually made her nothing but ecstatic, but in that moment, she also felt a tang of panic. This was real and she couldn’t turn back.
By the time she’d woken up next to him for the first time, the panic had subsided.
He was already awake, watching her. “You sleep okay?” His voice was still sleepy and hoarse.
She nodded. Her cheeks felt flushed and the rest of her body was warm with sleep and sex and sweat. “Yeah.... you?”
He nodded and kissed her firmly on the lips. “I was thinking of skipping class today.”
“Piz, I never took you for the bad boy type,” she joked.
“Well I guess you bring it out in me,” he grinned.
She couldn’t bring herself to tell him what he brought out in her.
