Donna Pinciotti was feeling very frustrated. In some ways she had no right to be, she had a good, if a little weird, group of friends, a father who loved her and a boyfriend she adored. There was just one problem, her new roommate Jackie Burkhardt.
It wasn't that Donna hated Jackie... it was just that... she could kind of be... annoying, very annoying.
In truth Donna had once hated Jackie, but after the last few years of Jackie being Donna's only female friend she had grown fond of her in a way. But she didn't want to live with her!
Unfortunately for Donna, through a series of unfortunate circumstances, that was exactly what was happening. So far Jackie had redecorated her room, throw some of her favourite clothes out, and had plastered a variety of posters that Donna did not in the slightest bit care for. And she was constantly playing irritating music, and making comments about her looks, or her clothes, or something. It was like she was trying to find Donna's flaws and point them out for her own amusement.
The main thing that had kept them friends for this long was the fact that Donna could get away from Jackie but that was no longer an option. Her room had been Donna's place of sanctuary and now had been invaded by this irritating brunette. It had only been a few days and already Jackie was on her last nerve. It wasn't going to take much more for Donna to break.
On this particular day Donna was in a bad mood already. She had had a fight with her boyfriend Eric over yet another insignificant little thing. Donna loved Eric, but he did have a tendency to find a way to make a dumb ass out of himself in new and interesting ways each week. She sometimes thought to herself that he should have his own show, but right now she is very angry with him.
When she got home her father had been no help, as usual. She had thought about trying to explain what was wrong, but she didn't really want to discuss her boyfriend trouble with her father. And in any case, tonight he was going round the Forman's house to play cards with Eric's parents and she didn't have time to talk to him much before he left. When she got to her room she immediately went to escort Fez out of her closet and kicked him out of her house. Fez was a loyal friend who she was very fond of, she just wish he'd stop trying to see her naked. After five years it was getting very old.
On the bright side no Jackie to be seen so Donna lay on her bed for some quiet contemplation and decide what, if anything, she should do about her boyfriends latest mess.
But the second she lay down Jackie entered the room immediately going into a monologue of her day at the maul pausing only briefly to tell Donna how horrible that shirt was and how her jeans made her look fat. Finally, Donna couldn't take it any more...
"Jackie, will you please shut up!" Donna practically screamed in frustration. She immediately regretted her harsh tone of voice when she saw the hurt expression on her friend's face. "Sorry Jackie, it's been a long day."
"Sure... whatever... bitch." The last part Jackie had said under her breath, so Donna wouldn't hear her. Unfortunately for Jackie Donna had better hearing than she thought.
"What did you just call me?"
"Nothing."
"Yes you did, you called me a bitch! Don't call me a bitch, bitch!"
"Hay, I called you a bitch because you were acting like a bitch, so don't blame me for just stating facts!"
"Stating facts! You've been acting like a bitch since the day I met you!"
"Oh that is like so not true!"
"Oh that is like so true!" said Donna giving her best Jackie impression.
"What's your problem?" Jackie said glaring at Donna.
Donna had had enough, she was going to take out all her frustrations out on Jackie, "What's my problem! You must know what my problem is? It's you you're my problem Jackie!"
"Me! What have I done?"
"What have you done! Let's see, you come in here yapping about your day and things that I don't care about all the while stopping to insult me. You've been criticising me for years, my clothes, my hair, my boyfriend, my family! And now you've invaded my room, my personal space, and you act like you own the place and I'm the visitor! Is that enough for you or do you want more?"
Jackie was silent for a minute, before she went into a big, long rant, "First of all, I was trying to be friendly and tell you about my day. Secondly this is now my room too, therefore I do own the place, therefore it is my personal space, and therefore you are a visitor in my personal space! Thirdly I've been trying to help you for years. I'm constantly trying to tell you to get new clothes and change your hair and be more like me. And I know you can't get rid of him but you could at least act like your father doesn't exist! And don't get me started on that poor excuse of a boyfriend of yours!"
"Don't you dare say anything bad about Eric or my dad!" Donna growled, stepping towards Jackie menacingly.
Jackie smiled sweetly for saying, "Your father's a pig and your boyfriend's a spineless loser!"
"Take that back!"
"Make me!"
Both girls when now nose to nose, waiting to see what the other would do next.
Donna was furious with rage. How dare this little slut insult the people she loved most when they had been nothing but nice to her. Her father had taken Jackie in and if it wasn't for him she'd be living on the streets. And Eric... well Eric hated Jackie, but at least he tried to be nice to her... for the most part. The point was that Jackie had across the line and she was going to pay.
Jackie was almost 100% sure that Donna wasn't going to do anything. As far as she was concerned Donna was the one who was out of line and she had only been trying to help.
After a few moments Donna, a little unsure of herself, extended her hands to give Jackie a little push backwards. The look of shocked horror on Jackie's face would have been enough for Donna if the brunette hadn't immediately slapped her across the face.
The smacking sound echoed throughout the room. The force of the blow had turned Donna's head sideways. Donna turned her head back to look at Jackie. Her eyes screamed murder and they terrified the brunette.
Jackie pulled back her hand to slap Donna harder, but her hand was caught mid slap and twisted behind her back. Jackie screamed in pain as Donna pushed her face down into her own bed.
Donna had taken self-defence classes in her high school and had learned a variety of techniques to come in handy in a fight. She had a firm grip on the girl's arm and she wasn't going anywhere. She perversely enjoyed the feel of Jackie squirming underneath her, desperately trying to get free.
