That Which is Unexpected

When I was seventeen, I flirted with one of Cheza’s friends, one that had a crush on me. Cheza got angry and then Tia helped her set up an elaborate revenge plot that involved getting everybody drunk, slipping me a roofie, Jason hooking up with Cheza’s friend because he’s an opportunist, and a hungover wake-up call that meant Cheza shouting at me saying that I got trashed and then raped her friend who was now in her bathroom crying and wouldn’t come out. She continued by saying “What the hell is wrong with you!? You don’t flirt with your sister’s friends and you certainly don’t rape them!”
Naturally, I started freaking out and asked Cheza what I should do. She responded by saying, “You should learn your lesson and stop flirting with my friends so I don’t have to set up this elaborate fake rape plot again!”
Jason started dying in the hallway saying, “CT, you should see your face!” along with Tia, who was laughing so hard that she just kept repeating, “I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!”
