REQUEST FOR A DRIVE
At 4pm Saturday, the day before my fight with Angie, I text my former roomate Kristin to ask if she'll watch my back at, and after, the fight.
> You there? It's Jenny.
> Hey, wassup?
> I have a 911 tomorrow morning. Can you drive me to a fight with Angie?
> Sure, but, drive where? Why not walk down the hall to her apt?
> Turns out she doesn't live here much. She nannies for 2 dr's in Barrington.
> Get out! So ur jumping her there when she's alone?
> Not alone and not jumping. Mrs Dr wants to watch us fight.
> Double Get Out!! She's ok with me being there?
> I didn't ask but it only seems fair.
> How did this all get set up?
> Angie and Mrs Dr were shopping in S Barrington and I mighta sorta been following them.
> Wow and did you and her start fighting there? Did she say y she's such a bitch about her car?
> Too public to fight there. We didn't get to the car but she seemed like she wants trouble w me.
> Any rules for the fight? You said she played soccer, right? No kicking?
> It's not really a fight wo kicking but that's not a bad idea. Rule is that winner gets a job lead.
> Wow Mrs Dr isn't some perv is she? Did she seem creepy?
> Little bit. She figured out I was following them and doubled back. She's really exotic--Indian or Sri Lankan or something.
> I wonder if Mrs Dr is who convinced Angie to start giving you attitude with the car. You worried about the fight?
> Not really she's a little thing I have like 30 pounds on her. Unless like you say she's gonna do some soccer bicycle kick on me.
> Did Mrs Dr say what kjnd of fight?
> I'm pretty sure she specifically said a catfight. But a catfight can have kick or no kicks, right?
> Sounds like Mrs Dr likes to watch, if you ask me. Your high school catfight with cheergirl Brenda: did you and her kick?
> Ok one when did you hear about that and two WHAT did you hear??!!?
> Oh relax Jenny that was a pretty long soap opera with you and her and Scott to stay on the down-low. And don't worry we all assumed you won the fight. You did, right???
> Not by as much as I would have liked. Don't you DARE tell anyone but we kinda fought until we just sorta stopped. Cuz it was getting too rough, as in too vicious. It was scary cuz we were alone. And yes some kicking but not much. Does that make sense?
> Typical catfight, sounds like. And yes I csn see it being scary to fight alone. Tomorrow will go better.
> You ever been in a catfight?
> Ummm, two weeks ago.
> Kristin?!?!? With who? Who won?
> My bf's psycho ex. She came back from college and was trying to start things up with him again. It was bound to happen so we just got it over with.
> In front of him?? Who won??
> No, just girls watching. Trust me some girls are totally into watching, that's what it sounds like Mrs Dr is like. And yes it woulda got outta control if we were alone but I won in the end--she wsas badass but had no endurance. Or not enough.
> Kristin u go grrl but I wish you woulda told me.
> You seemed "busy" with ur own stuff. Jenny u were following her/them?
> Ya that sounds kinda bad when you say it like that doesn't it? They always tell us to not catfight over guys but until Angie I always assumed that was the only reason TO catfight.
> Well this is over a job. That's a good reason if the job is good enough.
> It is.
> Good. Then I'll pick you up tomorrow. Anything we forgot?
> Just one thing. Are YOU one of those girls that likes watching catfights?
> <<<<blushing>>>> Busted. Is that bad? Does that make you uncomfortable?
> No. I like it.
> U like that I like watching? Or you like watching too?
> Yes and yes. And now I'm <<<blushing>>> too.
> Good. Siya Sunday.
> K. Thanks again.
I should have gotten to bed early that night, but I couldn't stop fantasizing about Kristin's catfight with her bf's ex.
