Closer Than My Peeps

A coven of vegans avoid chocolate cake and mozzerella. Meanwhile, Jake and I dig in, twice.

In the bathroom, Chrystal and I laugh at thieves and liars, then steal each others’ cocktails while muttering, “sorry, I don’t drink.”

At midnight, Leigh smokes the pavement and watches me walk out. “Why do you have to leave?” she asks and for 2 seconds I feel like a mom giving the keys to the babysitter. Then I look at her eyeliner and I don’t.

“I have to go to bed,” I say, and I mean it, and I hate it. “I have to wake up tomorrow morning.”

“You do?” she asks. Why do all my friends smoke?

“I do,” I sigh. “I mean, I have to wake up at some point…”
