Alison looked at me and then she turned her gaze to Sandra. “I want everyone to clear out right now. The party’s over.”

I saw the guy Sandra had been draped all over look towards her. She gave him a curt nod as if to tell him to just leave. He rolled his eyes at her and left and within minutes our apartment was empty but for Alison and the two of us.

“I’ve had a lot of complaints about the disruption coming from this dorm,” Alison said. “I think you both are aware of the university’s rules.”

“It wasn’t really even a party,” Sandra said, trying the same lame excuse she had used on me.

“No?” Alison asked, with raised eyebrows. “I’m interested to hear why… but not tonight. I want the both of you to report to my office tomorrow morning.”

“Me too?” I asked. “This was not my party.”

I saw Sandra giving me the stink eye, but I completely ignored her.

“Yes, you too,” Alison replied. “This may not have been your party, but it was your apartment.”

Before I could say another word, she had stomped out without giving me the chance to explain. Sandra turned to me angrily, as though I had been the one in the wrong.

“Thanks for throwing me under the bus,” she hissed.

“Excuse me?” I said defiantly. “Why should I take the hit for something you did?”

Sandra just shook her head at me. “No wonder you don’t have any friends.”

I didn’t bother to dignify that with a response. I just headed out the door, but instead of making my way to the library I decided to go to Mom’s. There were some days that… dysfunctional or not, you just needed family.
