“I really don’t think you should go tonight.”
I glance at my roommate in the mirror as I brush the final coat of
mascara on my thick, dark eyelashes. “So you’ve said, somewhere around
34 times,” I say good-naturedly.
“I know, but you’re getting ready to leave, so I wanted to tell you
again. I have really bad vibes about tonight, and you know I’ve been right
before.”
Stacie’s right. We joke that I was born without instincts, but it’s
hardly a joke. I’m not sure where the disconnect lives in my body—maybe
it’s the problems I had when I was younger, when I worked so hard to
dissociate from my reality—but that connection seems to have been
permanently severed. I could walk right off the side of a cliff and my body
wouldn’t give me that warning sensation until it was far too late to do
anything about it.
I glance back at my well-meaning roommate. “I also know you think
Kyle is a douchebag, so it’s probably more your misconceptions about him
leading you to that bad feeling than actual bad vibes.”
“Don’t go,” she says, leaning against the wall. “Stay here with me and
we’ll binge candy and watch scary movies together.”
“You know I don’t like scary movies.” I pop the brush back in my
tube of mascara and screw the lid on. Taking a step back so I can look at my
reflection all the way to my knees, I ask, “How do I look?”
“Beautiful,” she says, almost without bothering to glance at me.
“You’re always beautiful. And you deserve better for a first date than ‘come
to my lame frat’s Halloween party.’ That’s not even a real date. The asshole
could at least take you to dinner.”
“It’s fine. I’m sure if we like each other after this, he will ask me to
dinner. At least at a party, if we don’t hit it off, we’re not stuck in only each
other’s company. Like, remember that godawful date I went on where we
ran out of things to talk about over an appetizer? What I would have given
to be able to simply pretend I see someone I know and get the hell away
from that boring mess.”
Stacie watches as I turn around and grab a handful of the white lace
robe flaring out behind me.
Since people have told me for years I resemble Emmy Rossum, I
decided to put together a costume of her as Christine in the Phantom of the
Opera movie when she gets lured to the lair of the beast. I even watched a
video of her hair routine so I could get my chocolate brown curls to match
hers as closely as possible.
“Do you think anyone will guess my costume?”
“Not a chance in hell.”
