Killer Efficiency

First off, www.hyperboleandahalf.com

Best way to kill time ever. Absolutely hilarious and spazzy. Just like me. (highlights being the cake and fish post)

Anyway, onto our scheduled programming.

"You're breaking up with me!?" she screamed at her phone.

Zoey is furious beyond all comprehension. She thought things had been going great! She had finally gotten him to kiss her at the meteor shower after years of crushing on him. It certainly didn't help that he was her next door neighbor. She had spent most of eighth, ninth, and tenth grade living in constant fear of the friend zone as they hung out almost every day. He, blissfully aware, while she suffered silently behind her smiles. And even after he finally kissed her, it had taken him weeks to actually ask her out! Weeks! How stupid could a guy get? Obviously really stupid if he's going to break up with a super awesome girl (such as herself) after two whole months of going out. Two WHOLE months.

He muttered some condolences gargled by nerves and static which made it sound like he might've actually explained his reasons during her furious tangent,. (Not that they really mattered)

Then he said the words that brought her out of her raging reverie. That fatal sentence that ends with "just friends." Without thinking she screams "I wish you would just drop dead!"

There's a thump on the other side of the line.

"JD?...."

"Totally not funny man, I'm sorry I didn't mean it I was just upset."

"Hello??"

"We can be just (she chokes a little) friends if you want!"

"JD?"

She hears her call echoed by a familiar matronly voice. Then a scream.

Her phone slowly somersaults through the air as her fingers lose the will to hold it. She can feel the blood leave her face, retreating deep within her, taking her mind with it.

What had she done?

So yeah! Girl character! Woohoo!

It was slightly different writing her and if anyone is unhappy at all with the portrayal, I'm open to opinions. So go go go.
