Reading Penny & Aggie

Chapter 13

1. "Cyndi screws over half your friends and all you have to say is..." 2. "I have no "Read" on cyndi, because I don't get why she does what she does." 3. "Most people I can psychologize, I can understand. But she's illegible." 4. "It doesn't even feel like she's gone. It feels like this is just another game she's playing." 5. "And she never tries to win. She just tries to make everyone else lose." 6. "Xena seems fine now, or I would have come forward sooner..." 7. "...I'm not saying brandi is capable of this. I'm just... She had an impulse, and we all covered up the consequences..." 8. "...I don't think she did it. I know she didn't do it! But... But I..." 9. "Thanks. I think that'll be all."

1. "Aggie! I didn't think I was going to catch you!" 2. "Buuut you di-id..." 3. "Daddy?" 4. "Please." 5. "..." 6. "(Sigh) I'll be in the car. Do not be long." 7. "The guy said something about lacrosse players? You know any more about what's going on? They're questioning my parents!" 8. "Did you know they're holding brandi? I thought we were just character witnesses! Now we're suspects?" 9. "Oh, ffffruck." 10. "Her dad's lawyering up for her, says it's a race thing, and I gotta wonder--" 11. "Penny" 13. "You had lacrosse with her yesterday, right?" 14. "Pennytheyaskedmelotsofquestionsanditoldthemeverything, everythingicouldthinkofandthesubjectofbrandicameup."

But you had lacrosse with Brandi. She wasn't at lacrosse. She dumped Stan. She was the dumper, and she didn't do this. That's what I told them. Not the Stan part... Nuh, nuh, after you told them she hit that mouthy psycho... right? I'm not a liar, Penny. Oh my God! Oh my God! The one time it would've been useful for you to act like your mom!... What d'you mean? I figured she was just upset, since, you know, she and Stan had broken up... You're not supposed to tell the police things! You're supposed to give them the finger, and paint anarchy signs on their cars! Is that how to be like my mom? So tell me, Aggie, did he scare the confession out of you? Or did he just give you enough attention to make you feel important? But no! No! A few minutes with the feds and you're snitching like Perez Hilton!
