    Nickie   poses,   “ I ’ m going to pretend to be someone else this weekend, ”   she says adjusting her boobs.   Her long glossy locks are pulled into a messy bun   at the top of her head which brings her height to nearly six feet.
    Pookie   and I look at each other.     “ Alright Ms. somebody else, let ’ s get   outta   here, ”   He says.   Sarah and I pick up our purses and link arms with   Pookie.     Nickie   put ’ s on Jackie O glasses, picks up a neutral colored coach satchel then leads the way out of the dorms.   I tug at the top of my dress that ’ s showing way too much cleavage and run my fingers through my hair.   I feel self conscious without the safety of my bun.     We watch   Nickie   strut ahead of us with more confidence than I ’ ve ever seen.
    “ I bet I know who else will be using their inner whore for good this weekend, ”   Sarah says motioning to   Nickie.

    Sarah spots Tucker talking to the debutant in front of the administration building. He see ’ s Leila walking by and his eyes widen but she ’ s so busy adjusting her clothes that she doesn ’ t notice him watching.
    “ I ’ ll catch up in a minute. ”   Sarah says breaking away from the group and walking over to Tucker.   She steps in front of the girl he ’ s talking to, takes hold of his arm and pulls him away.
    “ Bitch the girl mumbles. ”
    “ Ho   don ’ t   make me peal   yo ur   cap, ”   Sarah says pointing at the girl with two fingers and a thumb in the shape of a gun. The debutant scoffs and walks away.     “ I heard someone say that in a movie, ” Sarah says,   “ was I believable? ”
    “ I suppose you were believable since she walked away.  
    “ Why are you talking to her anyway? ”  
    “ She ’ s in one of my classes, ”   He says,   “ and you were a bit rude. ”  
    “ Whatever, we ’ re going to be at Tyler ’ s party tonight. ”  
    “ You know Amy keeps popping up everywhere I go and I ’ m sure Leila doesn ’ t ’   want anything to do with me after what happened with Mike. ”  
    Sarah yawns and moves her fist back and forth as if she ’ s jacking off.     “ Amy ’ s a troll. I see the way you look at Leila so stop acting like a woman and come to the party.   This is the last time I ’ m going to intervene on your behalf. ”  
    He folds his muscular arms and looks down at Sarah.     ” I would give you a   noogy   and a   wedgie   if you weren ’ t wearing that flimsy dress. ”   Leila is almost out of sight and still fidgeting with the dress.     “ Who ’ s that guy she ’ s with and why is she dressed like that? ”
    “ I guess you ’ re going to have to come find out. ”
     
    Chapter 7
              At night San Francisco becomes a different world .   When the tourists are all tucked away in their respective hotels the natives go wild.   We forgo our plans to see the sights of the city opting to hit nearly every bar, party and club in town instead.   Our first stop is a Latin bar called   Alegria ’ s   in the Outer Mission area.   The minute we walk through the front door Sarah spots someone she knows.   The guys name is Topper.   He ’ s lanky, wiry and unkempt with greasy brown hair that stands straight up on his head.  
    Sarah   looks apprehensive as she approaches him.     “ Everything alright Topper, ”   she says as she slowly walks towards   the place near the front door where he ’ s standing.   Topper is jiggling change in his pockets and looking from side to side as if he expects to be abducted at any moment.   He has wild   tweaker   eyes that freak me out.
    Nickie   whispers in my ear,   “ He ’ s on something. ”
    “ No shit, ”   I say   “ How does she meet these people. ”
    “ What are you two saying back there, ”   Topper says moving towards us.
