Who: Lucy Nash and Vanessa Steinborn What: An uncomfortable conversation Where: Vanessa’s room When: Day 28, a little after noon.
Lucy was anxious. She didn’t like confrontation, and she knew that with Vanessa it was going to be bad--- which was primarily why she’d set up drinking and mattress races with Scotty, so that she’d have something to do other than dwell on what was about to happen.
She was more than thankful that Vanessa wanted something as easy to make as spaghetti. Lucy was used to cooking for herself and her father, but she was admittedly not very skilled and her only basic abilities were supplemented with pre-cooked items from the grocery. She hadn’t really even attempted to cook much here, living off of what others had extra, or basic things she could through together from the fridge or snacks.
Two bowls of pasta with sauce and hamburger and two glasses of Lemonade were situated on a baking pan she’d found to use as a tray. She hadn’t been in Vanessa’s room (they seemed to spend most of their time in hers) but she knew about where it was.
She used her foot, kicking her door by way of knocking, before she called out. ‘Vanessa, It’s Lucy. I’ve brought food!”
