Amory rolls her eyes. “You’re such a romantic.”
“Maybe a little bit,” Blake says.
“Come on, babe,” Amory says, “let’s get up.”
Blake’s chest flutters a little as Amory stands up and walks over to the kitchen area. Since when did Amory start calling her babe?
“Are eggs okay for breakfast?” Amory asks. “Or do you want pancakes?”
“Um…” Blake tries to think while Amory is on the other side of the cabin. “Not gonna lie, I think pancakes sound great.”
“Damn,” Amory says. “I was kind of really wanting eggs.”
“Well, why can’t we have both?” Blake asks.
Amory laughs. “You’re so right. Both it is.” She grabs a couple of frying pans and opens the fridge. Blake stands up from the bed and walks over to join Amory in the kitchen area as she checks her phone.
Jenna:Hey, r u okay? I haven’t heard from you in a couple days
Blake ignores the text message for now. It’s true that she hasn’t been texting Jenna as much as usual, but she doesn’t know what to say to her. She doesn't want to continue their strange little relationship, but she still likes Jenna as a friend, and she doesn’t know how to keep her and still break off their sex arrangement. Then again, with Jenna it was always a no-strings-attached kind of thing, so maybe Blake is overthinking it.
Blake:I’m good, sorry. Also, I’ve kind of found someone.
Jenna:Found someone as in a fuck buddy or found someone as in found someone?
Blake:I don’t know yet but I want it to be more than just sex
Jenna:oooo. Get it girl. I believe in you
Blake:Thanks, lol.
Jenna:No problem, just don’t be a stranger, okay?
Blake:You got it
“Who are you texting?” Amory asks, frying some eggs while Blake periodically checks her phone as she makes pancake batter.
“A friend,” Blake says. “Her name is Jenna.”
“Cool.”
“She’s a doctor, too.”
“Of course she is,” Amory laughs. “You know, I can’t remember the last time I had a friend who wasn’t a doctor, a resident, or going to medical school with me. Probably college. Most of my friends then were English majors.”
“Oh, that’s right,” Blake says, remembering details about Amory’s life from when they used to spend all of their time together. They may have been rivals, and always fighting and trying to sabotage one another, but Blake has a good memory. “I forgot you got your bachelor’s degree in English.”
“Yep,” Amory says.
“What made you choose that instead of something more traditional like pre-med?”
“Well, I didn’t know that I wanted to be a doctor when I was looking into colleges, and I’ve always liked writing. Which came in handy when I went to medical school. I’m really good at research papers.”
“I remember,” Blake admits. “I was always so jealous of you when they would use your papers as the class example. I hated it so much.”
Amory laughs. “You and everyone else. The number of snide comments I would get because of that was insane.”
Blake frowns, knowing that she was definitely one of those people. Sometimes she wishes she could go back in time and not be as horrible to Amory as she was. She wonders if Amory now feels the same.
