“You’re a crazy person.”
“No. I’m a single girl. For another…39 minutes. Que the flashback scenes!”
Ash laughed. “You’re going to go through all the rules, aren’t you?”
“Is there any other way? It all started on a dark and stormy night…”
“As fun as that sounds, you’re going to miss your wedding, Chastity. Maybe you can reminisce on the helicopter.”
“Shmoopie poo is amazing in every single way. That includes being a very patient man. He’d wait like ten lifetimes for me. And these flashbacks are important. They all led me to him. It’sbasically the story of us. And of you and me! And of single girls all over the world!”
“Okay fine. But make it quick.”
“Yay montage time! Let’s do this damn thing! Where was I?” I cleared my throat. “It all started on a dark and stormy night… Wait! We have to go back even further. Because now that you believe the Single Girl Rules are real, you need to hear exactly how I found them.”
“Chastity! You know I hate being late! I’m going to ruin this dress with gallons of sweat.”
“On any other day I would love to make you run around fully nude, but not on my wedding day. I’m the star today! Now pop a squat and listen up. It actually all started on a bright and sunny morning…”

12 Years Ago – Wednesday – September 4, 2013
“Today’s going to be a great day!” I said as I pulled on my tightest mini-skirt. I twirled in front of the mirror and turned to my new roommate, Ash. “I can’t wait for classes to end so we can go out tonight.”
“But it’s Wednesday.”
“Yeah it is! Hump day!” I froze when my eyes registered her outfit. “What in the actual F are you wearing right now?”
Ash looked down at her t-shirt that was two sizes too big and her baggy sweats. “My first class doesn’t start for another three hours.”
“So you’ll change before that?”
“Yes?”
I put my hand on my hip. “That did not sound very convincing. Girl, you need to show some more skin if you want to find yourself a good bang for this weekend. Try this.” I tossed her my second favorite mini-skirt.
She caught it but did not look very excited. “I’m here to study marketing, not bang randos all weekend.”
I laughed. “All weekend? I like your style.”
“I said Iwasn’tgoing to bang guys all weekend.”
Poor, sweet Ash. I was about to change her whole world. “Get dressed. We’re going to find ourselves some men in our classes today.”
“Umm…change?” She held the skirt in front of her like a shield. “What about your bodyguards?”
“Oh, them?” I gestured to the two burly men standing in the corner of our room staring at us. “Just pretend they’re invisible.”
“How do you expect me to pretend that?” Ash hissed.
Hmm.She had a good point. I was used to Ghost and Teddybear following me around. But they’d been especially annoying ever since I came to college. I’d have to figure out a way to ditch them. In the meantime…they were invisible. I pulled off my shirt and changed into a crop top.
Ash just stared at me like I was insane.
“You’re so silly, bestie.”
She smiled.
