Chapter 7
9:30pm
Leigheanna: Wow, I'm so bored. I think I need a distraction. Luckily, the Wi-Fi password is somewhere in a drawer - oh, here it is! Maybe I could Skype the others... no no no, they must be busy organizing a wild party. Hmmm... what about Netflix? No way! I'm more than sure Alaria & Co are using it and don't want me around, so I'd rather not disturb them. Oh! Here! I know how to spice up the night a little bit. I'll try making up some random numbers, like I often do with the others, and play some phone pranks! Haha, let's start!
While Leigheanna is picking a pencil and a paper to start writing down random phone numbers, she can clearly overhear her cousins making noise downstairs.
Leigheanna: What the hell are they doing? I hope they're not throwing a party. Never mind, anyway. That's not my business. So, let's try this: 702-829-7271. Probably it's going to be an elderly lady answering, yelling at me not to piss her the fuck off. But, that's an excuse to play pretend. Let's call.
???: Hello. Who is it?
Leigheanna: It's a man's voice. No elderly lady, luckily. Though, I've never heard this voice. I guess it's time to find out who it belongs to. Hey, just a young woman wanting to have fun...
???: Is this the erotic hotline?
Leigheanna: Something in the way you asked that question hints that you're not being serious...
???: What do you mean?
Leigheanna: I'm bored, here, stuck at my aunt's place with nothing to do... And you?
???: Haha, what do you want from me?
Leigheanna: You don't even look bothered at talking to me...
???: Let's say I was taking care of a particular thing, but then I stopped when I saw the notification of someone calling. Hold on. Is this an attempt of a call date?
Leigheanna: Maybe...
???: You're definitely the mysterious kind of girl. May I ask what your name is, by the way?
Leigheanna: My name is Leigheanna, but you can call me Leighy, L or just the creep that called you on a summer night.
???: Leigheanna is fine.
Leigheanna: You're making progress, aren't you?
???: Haha... stop it. You're almost making me blush.
Leigheanna: I guess your sass won't let you any other chance than not showing your true colors.
???: Those are my true colors, darling.
Leigheanna: You're flattering me.
???: What's the point, then?
Leigheanna: People who flatter me usually get the silent treatment or yelling.
???: You can't give me the silent treatment on the phone.
Leigheanna: Touché.
???: Haha. You're already intriguing me.
Leigheanna: Slow down. Aren't you the one who thought I was calling you straight from the erotic hotline?
???: Excuse me?
Leigheanna: You needn't play pretend, love. I found your number and can call you at any time. Almost any time, better say.
???: Well, I'm usually pretty busy, but I think I can promise I'll find some time to reply your call. Anyway, it's nice to meet such a person like you. Hear you soon.
Leigheanna: Hear you- Hey! You didn't even tell me your name! Oh, come on, I have to call him - what the hell! The phone is already flat! I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow. Now, what can I do?
As soon as she plugs her phone in the battery charger, she decides to go back downstairs to check on her cousins, hoping that they're just watching TV all together. Instead, she bumps into a girl she's never met.
???: Hey, you, move! I guess Alaria didn't even invite you! I'm going to report everything to her.
Leigheanna: Hey hey hey! Hold your tongue, whoever you are! I'm Alaria's cousin!
???: We'll see it now. Alaria! Come here!
Upon hearing the other girl's shrill voice echoeing through the house, Alaria immediately rushes upstairs.
Alaria: Noelle! What are you doing here? You're not supposed to talk to my cousin!
Leigheanna: Can any of you creeps tell me what the fuck is going on?
Noelle: Isn't it clear? You're blocking the way through the toilet!
Alaria: Noelle, I already told you not to talk to my cousin! Speaking of, you, Leigheanna, go back to your room! You aren't supposed to be here!
Leigheanna: Hasn't Kaitlin said "no parties" here? Also, why is your friend so fucking drunk? Auntie also said no-one is supposed to drink indoors. You're going to get into trouble.
Alaria: You can't do this! If you talk, your life will be hell, believe me!
Noelle: Alaria, please take me home.
Alaria: Okay, I guess you're very intoxicated, so I'll have to take you home. You, Leigheanna, just promise you won't tell Kait about the party, or else I'll chop your fucking head off.
Leigheanna: Okay. But with one condition: you either stop being a bitch or I'll personally chop your head off, rather than speaking to her.
Alaria: Deal.
When Alaria leaves with the girl named Noelle, Leigheanna hopes to go back to her room in peace, but, instead, she has to face yet more turmoil from Neva.
Neva: Don't think you can get away with what you did so easily!
Leigheanna: What the fuck are you even talking about?
Neva: I overheard you talking random shit. Were you calling a stranger?
Leigheanna: That's none of your fucking business!
Neva: I'm going to tell Mom!
Leigheanna: Perfect. Tell her. I'll tell her you helped Alaria to throw a party behind her back. This will get you sent to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere, believe me.
Neva: You won't get away with what you did! I overheard you! I caught you!
Leigheanna: Well, I caught you throwing a party, so, we're even...
Neva: Shut the fuck up!
Neva picks her phone and sends Kaitlin a text message.
Neva's message to Kaitlin: "Mom, guess what? Leigheanna had a phone call date with a random guy! I overheard her! Come back home to give her what she deserves."
However, Kaitlin doesn't reply right away.
Leigheanna: You sent it, right, little bitch? Now, tell me what your mother is going to do to me. Is she going to make me your servant? Is she kicking me out of this house? Is she going to beat me up? Come on, tell me, now that you got what you want. Now, it's my turn. Kait will get to know about the party, and you will all end up in trouble. Believe me. And, now, get the fuck off of my sight, before I kick your ass.
Neva: Okay, okay. I'm going to delete that fucking message, if that's what you want.
Leigheanna: Perfect.
Neva: Oh, one last thing. Fuck off.
Leigheanna just flips her cousin off before re-entering her bedroom and slamming furiously the door behind her.
