The List

Julie flipped through the channels, she then noticed a dark figure headed towards her door. The figure glistened under the porch light and Julie squinted realizing it was one of her old friends Maggie.
"Hey Julie, can I umm sleep over tonight?" Maggie asked.
"Sure , Maggie most definitely, I never see you now, especially since the summer ended."
"You're so right." She replied walking inside the corridor peering around the Mc Doug’s Victorian inspired living room.
"Are your parents home?”
“No, they went upstate to my grandmother’s.” Julie smirked
“What about your brother?”
"Corey? He's not home yet he's out, he'll be back soon why is there a problem?
"No , just wondering". Maggie said fixing her hair in the wooden mirror near by.
"So Maggie, what's first? You want to watch a movie upstairs in my room?”
" No, I was just thinking we can sit down here and hang out," Maggie said patting the head of the leather couch. The two sat for a while watching the TV. in silence. They then heard footsteps approaching the house. Maggie's ears perked up
"Shhh , turn off the TV Julia" she said while fixing her clothing.
"Yeah those joggers are definitely going to charge in this room".
"Oh joggers?“ Maggie giggled. "I'm so silly" She then got off the couch and began to yawn.
“It’s like 12:30 isn’t it to late for Corey to be out with the guys?” she said glancing at the clock.
“ With the guys? When is Corey just ever out with the guys” Julie replied sarcastically.
“Yeah, he is quite popular now, I guess.” Maggie replied looking down at her shoes.
Rubbing her belly, she then walked into the kitchen trying to find any food she could. A shiny red Doritos bag awaited her, and a crumbled piece of paper lay beneath it. The paper was filled with telephone numbers and various names. Maggie recognized the names they were girls from the Senior class.
“What ya doing, Maggs? Julie said walking over to Maggie’s side.
“Oh, I guess you found Corey’s list “ she said giggling.
“What list?”
“You know, all the girl’s he’s talking to now they‘re so gullible, they all fall for his same old lines, pathetic right?” Remember to turn off the lights when your done” Julie said while leaving the kitchen.
“No problem”. Maggie said quietly.
Maggie’s eyes scanned the paper one last time,
“Yeah so pathetic.” she whispered.
She left the paper on the counter and then turned off the lights, leaving a dark kitchen behind her.
