CHAPTER TWELVE
IZZY
Me: I’m requesting an emergency meeting tonight. I need to get drunk.
Meghan: Well smack my ass and call me Skippy. I’m down.
Katelyn: Me too!
Steph: FuckBalls, I can’t. Stupid work function tonight. I don’t need to learn how to fucking bond with my coworkers. I see these twatwaffles every day.
Meghan: Boo! Coworkers suck!
Katelyn: Meg, you don’t even have any coworkers. You run your own business.
Meghan: Boo! Katelyn sucks!
Me: Meet me at The Booze Hooch at 7. And plan on getting rides home. We won’t be in driving condition.
Meghan: Oh, shit. This is serious. Everything okay?
Katelyn: Jackson can give us all rides home once we are sufficiently Monday Drunk.
Steph: I’m going to go all Milton on this joint and burn it to the ground. I can’t believe I’m missing a Monday Drunk! That’s my favorite type of drunk.
Meghan: Girl, if we are aiming for that level of inebriation, we might still be there when you’re done with your work bullshit.
Katelyn: Truth.
Steph: Okay, I’ll check in with you guys later.
Meghan: If we don’t respond, assume we are still drinking.
Steph: Can I get a hint as to what this is about? Since I’m going to miss the big ball drop?
Me: It’s about Zach.
Me: I saw him today.
Me: At the office.
Me: BECAUSE HE’S THE NEWEST PLAYER FOR THE SLEET!
