Page 12 of Single Girl Rules #BFF

My phone buzzed and Slavanka’s name crossed the screen. I almost screamed as I answered it. “Tell me they’re ready.”

“The rules are ready,” Slavanka said.

“Ah I love you!”

“Yes, okay.”

“Can I come get them now?”

“It is rain weather. You come tomorrow.”

I looked out the window of my dorm. A rainy day had turned into a dark and stormy night. But rain had never stopped me from going to a party before. Besides, Jock #1 was the best of the jocks I’d hooked up with since coming to campus. Tonight was going to be a blast. Especially if I had the Single Girl Rules in my hands. “I’ll come now.”

“If you are sure.”

“Mhm. See you soon.” I ended the call and turned to Ash. “They’re ready.”

“What’s ready?”

I’d been talking about nothing but the Single Girl Rules since they’d magically appeared to me two days ago. How did she not know what I was talking about right now? “The Single Girl Rules.”

“Oh, right. The paper that fell from the sky with angelic music playing that’s full of sex rules?”

“It fell from a book, but yes. I’m going to go grab them. Want to come?”

“No, I need to figure out what to wear tonight. What do you think of this?” She pulled out what I assumed was something she’d stolen from her grandmother for a reason I couldn’t fathom. It. Was. Horrifying.

“Um…keep looking,” I said. “I’ll be back soon.”

“Wait, hasn’t the party already started? We’re going to be late.”

“Of course we’re going to be late. You can’t show up to a party on time. That would be #Lame.”

“Oh. Right. I knew that.” Ash scrunched her mouth to the side and looked at Ghost and Teddybear in the corner.

I laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m taking them with me. See you in a bit. And try to find something with a little less…sleeves.”

“It doesn’t have sleeves.”

I tilted my head to the side. How did it not have sleeves? There was so much fabric. Where was it all going? “If you say so. It’s still a no from me.”

Ash nodded and shoved the hideous dress back into her closet. I’d definitely need to dress her when I got back. Which was fine. I was already planning to. I left the room with my two minions in toe.

“When are you going to tell Ash that you aren’t allowed to go to the party?” asked Teddybear.

I laughed and shoved his arm. “Oh Teddybear. You’re so funny. I talked with Daddy earlier today and he said it was fine.”

“You know I’m going to text him to confirm that, right?”

Damn it! “Fine. I know I’m not allowed to go.” Because of you, you jerk. I still couldn’t believe he’d ratted me out to my dad and gotten me banned from any more parties just because I kept ditching their lame asses. It wasn’t my fault that they couldn’t keep up with me. “I’m just pretending like I can for Ash’s benefit. That poor girl really needs to break out of her shell. I’m gonna get her all ready and then break the news to her at the last minute. By that point she will have spent so much time getting ready that it won’t make sense for her to back out.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.”

I nodded. But my mind was elsewhere. I was running out of time to come up with a plan to ditch these idiots. There was no way I was going to miss the party of the century.

A few days ago I would have just been able to run away from them. But they’d gotten wise to my tricks and swapped their dress shoes out for running shoes. It was dreadfully annoying to not be able to ditch them, but I had to admit that the combination of suit

s and running shoes did something to my lady bits.
