“Ummmmmmmm yes. I didn’t know they were brand new”
“Whether they were new or old, cheap or expensive you
should not have them.”
“Come onnnn. You have to admit I look absolutely
fabulous in them,” she said standing in the mirror as she flipped her hair and
arranged her lips as if she was kissing someone.
“I was going to bring them back…eventually. I just BORROWED them. Why are you so uptight, relax a little. You know, you should
really stop being so stingy and materialistic. At the end of the day they’re
just overly priced frames that doesn't really block the sun that well”.
Skylar flared her nostrils, tightened her fist, and
stared with eyes full of rage. She could not believe what she had heard.
“Wait, what? How dare you STEAL from me and then
negatively criticize the quality of my sunglasses?”
She tried to speak, but Skylar
continued ranting.
“Materialistic?” Skylar shouted as
her eyes widened with disbelief.
“Well pardon me for showing interest in nice things!
And did I hear you say borrow? Yeah right. You mean like how you borrowed my
hand woven Italian infinity scarf. My hand painted Japanese coasters. My
sterling silver name engraved pen set. My turquoise
ring. My Pandora bracelet. My Louis Vuitton cross body bag. The list goes on
and on”.
I think this piece sets up a really goo dynamic between characters. We get a really good characterization of both characters from themselves and from the other character too. We also can guess an age range based on the IG post and the items that were borrowed. Is the other character Skylar's sister or roommate?
