they’re in college, they’re of age.  That makes them fair game.”
         “Whatever - do what you want.  Just try to keep the noise down.  These walls are thin as paper.”  The last time I crashed here, he kept me awake half the night.  His headboard kept banging against the wall.
         “Hey, I’m putting a roof over your head, and not charging you a single dime.  You can get over it.  I have needs.”
         “Yeah, well I have classes.  At least put a pillow behind the headboard.”  I turn around and head back to the bedroom.  I stop at the door and turn back around.  “And if she’s a screamer, like that one girl was, gag her.”  I swear, that girl was so loud she could have woken the dead.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER 14
    KARMA
     
         “Of course I like it, Anna, but how are we supposed to haul it?”  I ask, as I stare down at the leather sofa.  “It’s not going to fit in the trunk of your car.”  We’re at the Salvation Army, shopping for furniture for our new townhome.
         “Don’t worry about it.  I’ve got it covered.”  She holds her hand out to me.  “Just give me your half.”
         I sigh and shake my head.  She’s impossible.  “Fine,” I reach into my pocket and hand her a twenty.  She claps her hands together, and does a little dance.
         Okay, I have to admit, the Salvation Army is pretty awesome.  We’ve found two side tables, to go along with our leather sofa, and a dinette set.  Thanks to our parents, we still have enough cash to get new beds and mattresses.
         After the guy helping us, puts sold stickers on all of our furniture , we head back out to Anna’s car.  She still hasn’t told me who she texted earlier.  The bitch!  I know her - she’s up to something. 
         “Are you going to tell me who’s hauling our new furniture, or not?”  I ask, as I click my seatbelt.
         “Or not,” she says evasively, as she starts the ignition.  “So, did you ever find out how you did on that test?”  She looks back over her shoulder, backing out of the parking space.
         “Ye ah, I got an eighty-five.”  I’m actually really proud of myself, for that one.  I had been torn all to pieces during the whole test.  I’d rushed through most of it, not even reading the questions all the way through.
         “You go girl!”  She holds her hand up to me and I slap it.  “I think that calls for a celebration.”  She turns the radio on, and begins dancing around in her seat, singing along with the song.  She can’t sing for shit, and she looks so funny.  I burst out laughing.  God, if feels so good to laugh, again.  It’s been so long.!  “Are you going to sing with me, or just keep laughing at me?”  She blinks over at me with wide eyes.  I reach over and turn up the volume on Fifth Harmony’s ‘Miss Moving On’ I belt out the words at the top of my lungs.  Hey, this is my new theme song.  Yeah, I can’t sing either, but I don’t care.  I’m having fun!
         This has been the best day I’ve had in awhile. We stopped by Dairy Queen, on the way to our new townhome, and got a Blizzard.  There’s just something therapeutic about ice-cream.  It makes me feel like a little girl.  “Ouch!”  The only problem with eating ice-cream too fast – brain freeze. 
         Anna sticks her spoon in her mouth, and shuts off the car.  “You ready for this?”  The entire back end of her car is full of all of our stuff.  I still can’t believe we got it all to fit.
         I glance back over my shoulder and groan.  “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
         She nudges me with her elbow.  “Come on.  It’ll be fun.  Plus, when we’re finished , we won’t need a workout for at least a month.”
         She has a point.  T his is definitely going to be one hell of a workout.  I hear a truck as I climb out of the car.  The back of it is full
