Itend not to think before I speak.
“Yellow is really not your color, Anne,” I inform my redheaded
housemate as she enters the kitchen through the opening to my right. “Red
and yellow should only be combined on a hot dog.”
Anne rolls her eyes as she grabs a hard seltzer from the fridge.
“Don’t be a bitch, Saylor,” Cressida chastises. She doesn’t look up from
the chocolate cake she’s icing as she scolds me. Multitasking at its finest.
“Saylor can’t help it. It’s her default setting,” my best friend and cocaptain Emma Watkins contributes as she mixes whatever disgusting cocktail
she’s come up with tonight.
I flip Emma off. “I’m just being honest,” I retort from my perch on the
kitchen counter as I drum my bare feet against the cabinet below the butcher
block. My body is thrumming with excess energy. The last time I missed my
daily run was three months ago, thanks to the snowstorm that hit right before
the start of winter break.
If only extreme weather were at fault today. Instead, there was my
father’s unexpected phone call, followed by a half-hour lecture from my older
sister Hallie to detail the many, many ways in which I did not respond
appropriately to the news that our father is getting remarried sixteen years
after our mother zoomed off solo into the metaphorical sunset.
Actually, lecture is probably the wrong word.
Hallie made it clear my lackluster “okay” wasn’t what our father was
hoping for, but most of our conversation was her going on about how
wonderful it is that our father is finally settling down with an age-appropriate,
stable woman who’s just as boring as he is. I added the last adjective—boring
—in my mind while I painted my nails bubblegum pink and scrolled through
social media on my laptop. I wouldn’t have even indulged the conversation if
not for the fact that Hallie’s eight months pregnant. She’s a worrier, and I
didn’t want sending her into an early labor on my conscience.
“Ignore her, Anne. She’s having a bad day, and she’s drunk,” Cressida
explains, smoothing things over like always—as she literally spreads
chocolate icing.
I shrug because both are true. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong about the bright
yellow top, but I don’t care enough to press the point. I’ve got other things to
worry about, like which sports team captain to bring back here tonight. I’ve
narrowed it down to lacrosse or hockey when Anne interrupts my inner
debate.
