"I heard you had quite a birthday, Abby," Chris Jenks said, throwing a piece of lettuce onto my plate

"Don’t start with her, Jenks," I warned, glowering

Chris s up his round, pink cheeks "I heard Parker is furious He said he came by your apartment yesterday, and you and Travis were still in bed"

"They were taking a nap, Chris," America sneered

Abby’s eyes darted to me "Parker came by?"

Abby put her elbows on the table, covering her face with her hands "This just keeps getting better"

"So you guys really didn’t do the deed?" Chris asked "Daht for you after all, Trav"
