“Is it still illegal to murder people?”
“It depends on who you ask and how much money you have,” answers
my best friend Nat, who’s also working the morning rush at The Grind
coffee bar with me. “Why?”
“Look at him,” I say, gesturing to the man by the creamer—the man who
is very obviously overfilling his to-go cup and spilling it everywhere. “I
literally just asked him if he wanted me to leave room for creamer, and he
said no.” I sigh, reaching for the rag we keep stashed under the counter for
this very reason.
“I personally don’t think it should ever be illegal to murder a man who
spills coffee,” Nat says quietly from her place beside the milk frother.
Ah yes, I knew there was a reason I asked her. It turns out, lesbians do
tend to give the best life advice, something I learned a few years back as a
baby gay, just figuring out how to handle life after realizing women were
significantly hotter than dudes.
Nat took it upon herself to introduce me around, and explain the politics
of living in a city with a small enough queer population that everyone is
already someone else’s ex—she’s only four years older than me, twentyeight to my twenty-four, but she’s been out since she could talk and loves to
joke that queer years are like dog years and in that case, she’s old enough to
be my cranky lesbian grandma . . . even though she’s really more of a big
sister to me.
We met my freshman year of college, when she was auditing an acting
class that I was forced to take as an elective, despite majoring in event and
hospitality management. She was using it to fatten up her résumé and con
the photography students into giving her free headshots.
We’re opposite in almost every way—sure, we’re both white and queer,
but she has chestnut hair to my blond, her brown eyes could only be called
striking and dark, while mine are a muddy hazel as if they couldn’t pick a
color so decided to just be all of them. Nat’s also got a Hollywood body and
teeth whiter than snow, while I’m a little softer, less flashy. “The perfect girl
next door,” my mom always says, which always just feels like a nicer way
to say “plain.”
But most importantly, Nat has her shit together, and I definitely don’t.
She says it’s a confidence thing, but I don’t know.
Nat’s got the kind of attitude that makes you believe it when she says
she’s going to be a film star someday, even if she does have to keep
changing her date of birth on her acting résumés to make her perpetually
twenty-three, while I’ve been telling everyone that I hope, maybe, sort of, if
the stars align, to pursue my dream of running my own event planning
company.
