Well, Dear Diary, i'm back to school! My holiday was great, although uneventful, with one notable exception; i'll tell you more about that later. I only got to see Marie once over break, even though we live nearby; she was on vacation with her family for 3 weeks. Not a bad way to spend a break! We're all back, i've seen Sarah, obviously, and Marie. Tina, amazingly, joined a sorority; she moved out, and Marie has a new roommate i haven't met yet, her name is Andrea. I can't imagine the sorority that would accept Tina, all i can think is that they don't know her very well. They're in for a suprise, i think. Sarah is her usual perky self; very little of her dominant streak slips out in everyday life. I think her boyfriends must be as suprised as Tina's sorority sisters are going to be. None of us currently have steady significant others of any sort; when we got involved with each other at the end of last semester, we kind of let all consideration of others go. We all pledged before we left for break to not get so wrapped up again this semester, which is good. I'm looking forward to it.
Anyway, i should share the one noteworthy event of the winter break. It's kind of out there, though, i should warn you ahead of time. Very strange. It was New Year's Eve, around 3 am, when my private phone line rang. I picked up on the second ring, jolted out of my sleep, which had only begun an hour earlier at 2am. "Hello?" I asked, my voice hoarse from the cheering and celebrating only hours before. An almost giddy Marie said "Hi Kel!" "Marie!!" I exclaimed happily, "what's up, girl?" "You won't believe me if i tell you" Marie replied. "Tell me, tell me now, Marie."
"Well," Marie said, "here's the picture. I'm out here in California, visiting with Tina for a few days, i'm going to catch up with my parents later. Her brother, Chris, is really cute, and i've been flirting with him back and forth, a lot. Well, tonight we all played a game together, Chris, Tina, me, and Tina's new guy Rob. The stakes were that whoever won got served by whoever lost for the rest of the night. Tina and I lost, and now we have to serve." She paused to catch her breath. I interrupted "Marie, you're crazy, why did you play?" Marie laughed "Chris dared me to. You know how i am with dares. Anyway, Tina and Rob are in the other room, i don't know what's going on in there. And i'm in here with Chris." I was confused, i admit it. "Okay, Marie, not to be rude or anything, but why are you calling me right now?" I could not, for the life of me, think of a reason. "Well, Kel, it turns out Chris is a bit of an exhibitionist. As part of my job as his servant, i had to call you."
