Bryanne: Hello? Reina?
Reina: Yeah, it's me. Thanks for answering. Can we talk?
B: Yes, actually there's been something I've her meaning to tell you. And ask you.
R: Uh-oh. Nothing bad, I hope??
B: No, no, nothing like that. By the way, where are you right now? Still in Minnesota?
R: No, hadda get back to New York. I have work tomorrow.
B: Oh, shoot. I was gonna offer to have you over. This is awkward, so I'll get right to the point.
R: Ok. Go.
B: Reina, I need to tell you--or maybe ask you--i don't know--this is awkward--Reina, I can talk to you, and I want to--But just so you know, I'm straight. In fact, I have a boyfriend. More on that later.
R: No, no, no, that's totally cool. I'm straight, too, you know. Well, except maybe this one time at college....
B: <<<<Laughs>>>> Oh, phew, good. Reina, you say some funny things sometimes.
R: Oh, thanks. Funny in a good way, I hope?
B: YES!! Totally. Now, on the boyfriend, 2 things about him.
R: Ok, go, I'm listening.
B: Ok, first. Yesterday when you were over, I felt totally guilty not telling him about you. So I did last night. I mean, not your email address or cell number anything. Just that, we had, like hung out. Ok? I felt like I needed to.
R: I can see that. And what's the second thing?
B: Ok, this is the awkward part. Umm. So, after I, like, confessed to him or whatever, we got into bed, and we were doing it...
R: ....o...k....
B: ....and, umm, he wasn't doing anything wrong, but, I, umm, I was totally not aroused at all. Or not by him. To get turned on, I had to think about our sisters fight video. Or not even just that. I needed to think about watching it with you. Do you understand what I'm saying?...
R: Welllllll,........, actualllyyy......
B:......yes?......
R: So, the whole flight home, I was, like, holding inside my purse the disk with the video to the fight on it. And the whole time, I must have had the guiltiest look ever on my face, because all I can think is, What if security takes the disk and asks me what's on it, or make me put it in a laptop and play it?....
B:.....oh, shit, can you imagine?....
R:.....or, What if walking thru a machine erases it or damages it or something? Well, I make it home, and I run to my bedroom and pop it in my laptop, to make sure it works.....
B: .....aanndd?.....
R:....and it works. And, I, like, I can't stop fucking watching it....
B... I know....that's Like, me, too.....welcome to my world....
R.....so, I watch, and watch, and, I'm, like, I need to watch it with you.....
B:.....is there way to do that?
R: There is!! I figured it out. Look, open what I just started sharing.
B: Wait....wait, oh good!! Look at that!!
R: I know, cool ,huh? So, is now a good time?
B: Yes, and if it wasn't, I'd make it a good time. But, Reina, can I ask you something first?
R: Yes, sure.
B: Have you ever, like, well,....like, what was the worst fight you ever got in with your sister?
R: As in, fighting against her?
B: No, no....I mean, like, you and her fighting one other girl. Or two other girls?
R: Well, there was this one time, so, growing up, I had to finish my senior year of high school at a new public school, because my Catholic school closed....
B: God, that must suck....
R: ....tell me about it. So, anyways, this one bitch in particular is bullying me, or testing me, whatever. So, she and I make an <<<<air quotes> "appointment" at apark after school, cuz We're gonna fight. Except, the bitch's older sister finds out, so she announces she's gonna fight me instead. And then my sister somehow finds out, and now she's gonna fight the other girl....
B: So, did any of the fights happen?
R:....well, so, like, half the school hears, including these pain in the ass boys, who anytime Sherry and the other girl's fight goes to the ground, decide they need to interfere, like, what?, IT'S not a fight if the fights on the ground?.....so that afternoon was total bs...but....
B: <<<<<anxiously>>>>...but??....
R: But Sherry and I have a serious beef against these 2 bitches, so We're not letting them out of it that easy.....
B:.....of course not.....
R:.....so we make arrangements to meet them in our backyard on Friday night. And we have this 2on2 total brawl, where we like, pair off, and I'm fighting not just my bully but her sister, too; and Sheila's fighting not just the other girl, but my bully too....
B:.....hot.....And did you two kick the shit out of them?
R: Pretty much. The original bully got hit somehow and pretty much gave up, so Sherry and I had the sister 2on1 and let's just say we made sure she would remember to never fuck with either of us again.
B: That's hot. I'm hot.
R: I wanna here a story about you our Sheila or both. But first I wanna watch the video.
B: Me, too. Can you start it?
R: Here goes.
B: mmmmmmmmm.....
R: Mmmmmmmm.....
