Once Travis had left, Kaitlin had placed the pizza on the coffee table in the living room where the three friends sat down.
"God this guy was so cuuuute !!" said Anna with her mouth still full of pizza.
"Not really my type of guy but he was kind of cute" Kaitlin agreed.
"Um." Said Laura who didn't seem to agree with the other two.
"Come on Laura, I know you think this guy is pretty good .....aaand you have his number!" Said Anna excited what Laura answered by simply rolling the eyes.
"By the way Laura, do you have anything to drink?" Kaitlin asked
"Look in the fridge, there should be a few beers."
"Who knew Laura the hard worker drank beers alone in her apartment" Kaitlin joked.
"Um...it's just to decompress after a hard day's work...plus I already work out a lot so..." Laura tried to justify herself even though it seemed further and further away since she had returned to her teens.
"Relax girl and hey considering your age and your fit body you don't have to worry, same for the food" Said Anna as she tried to swallow a huge slice way too big to fit in her mouth at once.
"Geez Anna, are you sure your brain hasn't regressed even more than the rest?" Kaitlin joked.
"Very funny, hey just to set the record straight just because I'm enjoying my youth 100% doesn't mean I'm acting completely unconscious." Said Anna trying to sound adult which made the others chuckle more than anything else.
"Anyway I'm really looking forward to this party, I especially hope that there will be other handsome guys like Travis". Anna said excitedly.
Laura frowned "Um we haven't decided yet...and I'm not okay with the idea of going out at all, it's really not safe."
"Honestly Laura you're overreacting, I really don't see the connection between the danger of dice and going out to have fun." Kaitlin replied.
"Yeah for God's sake Laura you keep worrying about the smallest thing, I think those dice have made you completely paranoid too" said Anna with exaggerated exasperation. "I mean we're back in high school so let's make the most of it and leave the dice where they are and everything will be fine". Anna tried to reassure Laura, and then she really wanted to be able to meet Travis again...
"You may be right...it's just that...you'll think I'm crazy, but I have the impression that…that these dice have a soul, and this soul only wants to make the dice roll, which is why we have to be on our guard at all costs, I m just worried for you like what will happened to you if the dices rolls again ? Finished Laura a little embarrassed.
Kaitlin and Anna were so exasperated that they didn't even think about what Laura had just said. "Laura, you're the one we're worried about. Said Anna. "Yeah sorry Laura I know what we've been through today but if there's one thing that could take our minds off of it it's to go to this party and just have fun, then tomorrow we'll go to the magic shop okay?"
Laura was puzzled, she tried to tell herself that it was all her imagination, that everything would be fine until tomorrow but she couldn't help but think what would happen if the dice started rolling on their own? Well ok she was the only one not connected to it but she was worried about Kaitlin and Anna, she really doesn’t wanted to be the only grown up babysitting her two friends.
"Come on Lauraaaa" Anna pleaded.
"Uuuuuuuuh……….well…okay…… I'll make a call to Travis and we'll go." Said a desparate Laura.
"Yesss let's gooo" Anna pleaded happier than ever.
Kaitlin understood Laura's concern in a way, but she really wanted to enjoy her 17th again and a party was the best thing to do. "Thanks Laura" she said with a smile to which Laura replied with a simple "um".
