I kept my head down, my forehead resting on my elbow, my fingers lying flat against the keyboard of my laptop. “No, I mean it. Actual shit.” I raised my hand in a middle-fingered salute and opened one eye to face my accuser. Said accuser, Kendra Fletcher, peered at me with her wide brown eyes as she popped a Twinkie in her mouth. “It’s been a long day.” When I lifted my head, paper stuck to it. Kendra laughed and reached out to take it off. Popping the last bite of Twinkie in her mouth, she flipped the paper. “Kelo v. City of New London. Hmm, sounds juicy. Any sex scenes?” I snatched the paper back from her and added it to the ever-growing pile next to me. “Oh yeah. I found my new book boyfriend to be sure.” “Please tell me this is work related, not class related. ‘Cause I know I didn’t brief that one.” Darby Gaines plopped down in the chair next to Kendra. He put an arm around her and gave her a big, slobbery kiss. Kendra squealed and slapped at him. “Ugh. Not enough coffee yet.”
