>>68156504>A disgusted sigh breaks me out of my thoughts. She's looking at me with disdain.>...When did the appetizers get here?"You aren't over her, are you?"
"What?"
"Baldie, it's written all over your face."
>She transfers one of the faux-bacon-and-cheddar boxties onto her plate, not hesitating to start eating."You cut ties with her - or she cut ties with you, it doesn't matter - a YEAR ago and you're STILL simping over that whiny little bitch."
>She stuffs her mouth with a slightly-too-large bite."You're pathetic."
>I frown. Yeah, this is going about as well as I expected when I saw that Mia was my date. I grab my own and start eating as well."Whatever. That's your opinion. I've been doing pretty well since. Picked up photography again. You?"
"Whaddaya mean, again?"
>It takes a moment, but she puts together the pieces before I can say anything. Shit."Right, you didn't declare any college at graduation. Lemme guess, you dropped out and propped up that sorry sack of shit for three years, right? Bet she never said 'Thank you'. The croco-cunt can't think of anything past her own snout."
>She has a good memory. This is actually getting worse than I expected."Look, Mia. Can you please just answer my question?"
>She huffs, rolling her eyes."Fine. I'm enrolled at at VBU. Going into their graduate program next semester."
>I cock my head. She looks at me expectantly."Y'know, VBU? The business school?"
>My eyebrows raise."Oh. O-oh! I, uh..."
"What? You thought I was stupid? Inco, how the fuck would I have been able to run circles around you two if I was a retard? Actually, don't answer that. Anyone at that school could've done that, you two were morons."
"No! No. I, uh, just thought you'd do something more... hands on. Like a mechanic."
>She shrugs."That's a backup."
>Before long, the dinner arrives. I don't actually know what her dish is called, it's some traditional herbivore meal. I just got penne alfredo with chicken.
