Week 17: Monday
Who: Ita and Jillian What: Boy talk and ice cream - couldn't get more girly than that Where: Ita's room When: After classes and dinner
Ita was more than a little excited about ice cream with Jillian tonight. She and Jillian had really hit it off, and she was glad she had made such a good friend so soon. It would have been very lonely for her if she hadn't made a good friend this quickly - she was used to being so busy socially that she had zero time for much of anything else. And while she had kept herself quite busy socially, they were fleeting introductory meetings for the most part - totally different from the friendship she had struck up with Jillian.
During her mid-day beak, she had baked some brownies - just the Betty Crocker box kind since she didn't really have time for genuine homemade - and had even dusted some chopped walnuts with sugar and cinnamon for sundae toppings. Everything else she'd bought and was waiting in her room. She'd even managed a blender in case they decided on frappes or milkshakes (depending on your home region). There were bananas for banana splits; toppings like strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff, and caramel; rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, crushed cookies, and M&M's; whipped cream and cool whip. Really, there was enough for an entire ice cream social. Not that Ita hadn't seen teenage girls capable of demolishing the entire stock in a single night. She just figured it was unlikely.
After classes and dinner, she stopped by the kitchen and picked up the last few things - the cartons of ice cream she'd bought. Tri-flavor (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate), cookie dough, and mint chip. She figured that Jillian had to like at least one of them. Personally, she preferred the vanilla as a clean palate to start from - once she started adding toppings it would be incredible. She hurried back to her room and stuck them in the fridge until Jillian arrived, which should be any minute. Her mini fridge had a less than awesome mini-freezer, and it would work until Jillian got there. Then she changed into a cute short and tank pj set (Playboy bunny all the way), and set the TV to a music station. This would be fun! Like a sleepover, but not quite.
Every time she heard someone walk by, she would bounce up from the bed, and make her way to the door, only to be disappointed when they walked by. Finally, someone actually stopped at the door, and before they could even knock, she opened the door. "I'm so excited! Everything's already, but we should hurry or the ice cream will melt." With that, she reached out to grab the other woman's arm, with the intention of pulling her inside.
