Goodbye Normal
confessed.
    “Whaaaat? That is what got her off my back?” she asked genuine surprise on her face.
    “Yup, that was it.” Zoe asserted “I guess the confidence helped. And I used a creepy tone to spice it up. It was kinda fun.” she chuckled.
    “It’s good she tried to bully me.”
    “And how is wetting your pants good?”
    Liz gave forth a short laugh “Because I met you, if it wasn’t for that incident, do you think we would have been friends?”
    “You may never know, our paths might have crossed somehow.”
    “Yeah. maybe.” Liz agreed thoughtfully.
    Without monish the gray sky had turned dark and the darkness started penetrating into the room. The booze was kicking in her system. Zoe already felt her joints weaken, her body swaying and her humor getting better, way better than that afternoon.
    She stood up with difficulty, supporting her back with the couch.
    “Are we going to stay in the dark?” she asked.
    “It’s kinda cooool, everything is just sooo blaaaaack” Liz’s drunk reply made it sound much funnier that they resorted to laughter.
    “I’ll make a quick run on the lights, then will be back in a sec.” Liz’s voice was mildly dry but not as lazy and groggy as hers.
    “Okay” Zoe said.
    When Liz walked to the door Zoe realized that the same observation went for her posture. Liz moved leisurely to the door, switched on the light then walked out.
     The light ray adjustment on to her eyes made her eye itch a little. Zoe walked foggily to the window, aligned the drapers to proper order then threw her blitzed body on the bed.
     She was not sure if she would make it through the stairs without help if she had gone with Liz.
    In about 10 minutes Liz was back with a pizza box on her hand.
    “Where did you get that?
    “I ordered it in the car when coming from the beach”
    “Why did he deliver it this late?”
    “Because I told him to deliver it at this time, and I found it in the kitchen, the poor guy must have gone crazy knocking the door.”
     “I don’t fill hungry that really has to wait.”
    “Neither do I.” Liz accorded dropping the box on the table. After Liz settled, it came to Zoe’s attention that her mother was not home yet, and it was getting darker.
    “Where is your mom?” she wondered.
    “She has organized a function in the art gallery, a lot of guest, so I guess it will take the whole night as usual” her voice didn’t sound as convincing as she wanted it to be. Her eyes were sad, and Zoe thought she had to change topic fast. Her relationship with Margaret has always been on the rocks, and that affected Liz very much. Liz only said something about their business when she couldn’t handle it alone. But she was always trying so hard to keep a smiling face and a- don’t care vibe.  
    “Weeel this is what happened in the cabin with that jerk Josh.” she begun informing Liz who girl-fully lit up and curled on the couch attentively. 
    “So I get in the cabin with Jean,-”
    “Wait wait, is jean the guy Elvin was with?”
    “Yes I guess, if Elvin is the guy Jean was with” they begun laughing stupidly. Then Zoe continued.
     “When we’re inside, we find him engrossed with two white chicks; one was a fake blond another was a brunette. He was busy making out with one while the other was making herself useful by caressing his body.”
    “Woow.” Liz exclaimed.
    “I know, at first I didn’t know if it was him. I was literally praying it was not him. So we let the shock seep in, absorbed the atmosphere for some seconds then Jean coughed. The threesome broke loose and that’s when I get slapped on the face. In my mind I was like, Shiit, what the hell! Seriously dude, this is how we meet again!
    Liz laughed again this time harder.
    “So while am still dazed, Jean goes out and leaves me alone to deal with the jerk ass. Josh comes towards me, his face so sure and abusively bold. It was just insolent, the way he was glaring at me, like undressing me with his gray
