Young And Scambitious (A Short Story) - Plot & Excerpts
"I think that's her chili cheese rolls." Alexander laughed softly. They were talking barely over a whisper, in the off chance that their voices carried over to the other end of the call. "It sounds crunchy. I want some." "Ssh. Dinner later." They had each taken an end of the backseat now, Wendy leaning against one door, phone in hand, and Alexander against the other. His knees touched her leg sometimes. Alexander's role in this was over, but he kept hanging around, offering to drive, volunteering various other services. She knew it was because of her, and how she carelessly let slip that she and the boyfriend were going through a rough patch lately. For three days she'd been kicking herself already. Do not open that door. Alexander was always there on the other side of it. Waiting. Watching. She tried not to think about it. They heard Jane, "Elizabeth," order chili cheese rolls. And wait for them. And then walk to what they assumed was Chrysalis' car.
