"Oh, Ronnie, what was that? Did you feel it? My, god is the world coming to and end"? I almost laughed; she was so hysterical. I had never suspected t...at she could get go carried away. "Don't you know I asked"? She came over and sat on the edge of my bed. "No, Ronnie what was it? Do, you think it will happen again?... Oh, dear God"!She grabbed my arm and squeezed it hard. I felt her shaking as though freezing. When I realized the intensity of her fear, my initial reflex to laugh disappeared.... Now she was walking into a convenience store dressed like this?They arrived at Otis’s place before the others were scheduled. He had a nice home in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Otis took their coats at the door and they were nearly naked … no, Olivia really felt naked, not nearly. Otis gave them a tour of the house, then provided his last instructions as the doorbell rang for the first time. As instructed, both Olivia and Patty opened the front door and greeted the first guest. Otis had. Assumingmy message had been understood and not bothering to waitfor any replies I stormed back to bed and left them murmuringcomplaints about my lack of cool. About fifteen minuteslater I was awoken again, but this time by the creak of mybedroom door. One of my sister's friends was sneaking intomy room. I assumed it was a retaliatory strike of some sortand switched on my lamp to startle the attacker. Standingat the end of my bed was a slim 19 year old brunette, with browneyes, a gorgeous face. Still trying to breath normally I asked if there was any trouble back at the dorm."Just some stuck up bitch trying to make out that she matters in this world."I laughed, "That's pretty harsh, don't you think? What brought that on?"She looked at me to see if I was making fun of her before she answered, "Her roomy let me sleep in their room and this one took exception to it."I didn't understand the situation and I blundered into it, "Where are you staying... on campus or off?"She watched me again.
