I've Been There, Don't You?

Ruth had a lovely round moon face and when she caught me staring I tried to have a conversation with her with just my eyebrows, but it didn't work. Kendra brushed her hair with sharp wax, Maggie lay on the bed feeling queasy and Lily tried on Rachel's sweaters. Downstairs, the dog hid under the table and curly-haired James ordered pizzas. Ruth went to the bathroom with Maggie who'd finagled some gummies for their first try at getting stoned. She felt bizarre, actually, as if she were outside her body trying to get back in.
