The Female Of The Species (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
PEEKAY It’s like Adam and Branley got married over the weekend and now we all get to watch the honeymoon. “She’ll be pregnant by fourth period at this rate,” Sara says, tossing her books onto the desk. “I mean, I don’t know if you saw, but he had her pressed up against—” “I saw,” I say a little too sharply. Everyone in the room looks at me, and I realize how nasty I must have sounded, because I even have Alex’s attention. I lower my voice. “Sorry,” I tell Sara. “It’s just not cool.” She nods and touches my hand, but I hardly feel it. I might as well still be out in the hallway, watching Branley drape herself all over my boyfriend (ex-boyfriend, dammit). Adam was always casual with me. Some hand-holding at lunch, a peck on the cheek in between classes, a tossed “See you, babe” as we walked out of school. Branley he can’t get enough of. Branley he touches constantly. Branley he won’t be separated from. Branley— —walks into the classroom reapplying her lipstick because it’s all been kissed off by my boyfriend.
