And <strong>my</strong> eyebrows return back to their previous position of trying to recede into <strong>my</strong><br />
hairline. Alexandria is Alice's real name but no one, and I mean no one, ever calls<br />
her that. Not even <strong>my</strong> mother when she's really mad. In fact I'm pretty sure Alice got<br />
it changed after feeling exhausted with the nickname Alexa. Alex didn't bother her<br />
much 'cause it's so close to Alice, but … introducing herself as Alexandria? She<br />
might as well had <strong>just</strong> spit in Katelyn's eye.<br />
When Edward and I look back at each other, his face tells me everything. Something<br />
serious <strong>just</strong> happened.<br />
With four—not so simple—introductions, lines have been drawn. His new girlfriend<br />

Before I can ask him what 'it' means, <strong>my</strong> phone chimes again.<br />
And BTW I swear Kate's not normally like that—E.<br />
I'm sorry, don't you mean 'Katelyn'? :- ) –B.<br />
When he doesn't answer back, I simultaneously smirk and frown. He doesn't need<br />
<strong>my</strong> smart-ass-ness, he's about to get a shit ton of it from Rose and Alice already.<br />
Low blow?—B.
