Chapitre Quarante Cinq
Monthly girls nights were the best nights for everybody involved. Those people were Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, and of course Alexander. When Alex had first started working at the school, the girls never even thought of asking him to come to girls night. However, the Schuyler sisters soon came to realize that such a raging homosexual must be included. Tonight was a special night, however.
Although her relationship with Eliza had been public for a couple months, the group had finally decided to let Maria Lewis into their monthly affairs. This only happened, however, after the two girls had signed countless documents officiating that they would not, under any circumstances, act too cute of couple-y. Even with all of the papers, nobody believed that they would follow the rule.
Alexander, funnily enough, arrived at the same time as Maria. He had always had mixed feelings on Maria. For the most part he liked her. She was very pretty and had a very... alluring personality. Her personality was naturally flirty, but she wasn't some kind of serial romantic. Alex had no doubt she was fully devoted to Eliza. She just had an interesting way of acting around others. He tried his hardest not to judge her, though. He knew she had a hellish relationship with some man named James Reynolds. Those types of relationships can change a person.
He said hello to Maria and they both walked up to the house. The Schuyler sisters were the only people in their friend group who could afford an actual house. They realized sometime midway in the year that, with the rent split between the three of them, they could pay for it. Maria and Alex were invited in by Peggy, but Maria soon left Alexander's side as she dashed up to Eliza.
Tho two women hugged, while the other three who were present simply started at them, eyebrows cocked. Neither of the two noticed, until Angelica cleared her throat, pulling one of the contracts they had signed seemingly from out of nowhere. They turned their heads sharply and jumped away from each other, both blushing. The other three laughed at the two, and then everybody got on with regular girls night business, rule by rule.
Rule One - Nails Must Be Painted
The first item of the agenda is always nail painting. They always picked a monthly color, and everybody painted their nails that color. This included, as of late, Alex. This month's color was gold. They went in the normal train of painting. That is, with the exception of adding Maria into the mix. That is, Peggy paints Angelica's, Angelica paints Alex's, Alex paints Eliza's, Eliza paints Maria's, and finally Maria paints Peggy's.
Typically this time would be filled with gossip, and updates on life, but with the added time of having Maria there, they decided to interrogate the newcomer, much to her girlfriend's displeasure. All of it was (mostly) harmless, however, and Maria found it amusing. Specifically how protective Alexander acted.
Rule Two - They Watch Mean Girls, and ONLY Mean Girls
No other movie would be accepted. Nobody complained, though. Mean Girls was and is the best movie known to all of mankind. No other movie beat it. It was iconic, artful, and a majority of the group knew the entire script by heart. That is, minus the newbie, Maria, and the cinnamon roll, Eliza. But them again, a lot of the humor went over the latter's head.
Rule Three - No Real Food Can Be Consumed
The last rule, and possibly the most important rule, is one none of the girls will turn down. I mean, you would have to be crazy to turn down ice cream, huge candy bars, and more popcorn than you could even imagine. It didn't matter if all of them felt slightly sick the next day. What mattered was the full tubs of rocky road consumed. If every other part of the night didn't have Maria sold on joining girl night regularly, this did.
And by the next day, they all have sugar rushes and stomach aches from the sweets. They have headaches from blaring music and dancing to it all night. They're sleep deprived and their nails are gorgeous. And they can't wait for next month.
I wish I could do this with my friends. Like, can you even imagine? Also, please scold my friend Elizabeth for never watching Mean Girls, because I honestly find that appalling.
