Fate and Fury : The June Situation

The sun flooded into Bianca's room bringing with it a promise of resolution.  Bianca stretched and rolled herself up right before looking down at the clock. "9:45!!!" She shrieked, no!  She was only enrolled in 3 classes, those three classes were all on Mondays, wednesdays, and Fridays, her first class, biology, began at 9:30, followed by freshman composition at 10:20 and finally psychology at 11:30.  Today was friday, and Bianca was going to miss biology again and she was going to get dropped. She had already missed 3 days and been so late twice she may have just as well missed and it was only the beginning of October. "Shit, god, how am I going to explain to dad that I wasted his money and flunked out of biology because I can't successfully set an alarm. Yep, your real winner Bianca" she flopped onto her back and pounded her mattress with her fists then took two long, deep breaths, "I'll go tell him tonight, I'm sure I'm not the first freshman to ever screw up, he will understand".  Again she heard gagging coming from the hallway Bianca hurried down the hall and rapped softly on the bathroom door "June, are you ok" she asked through the door "uh, yeah, most have some stomach thing, I felt pretty lousy all night, shouldn't you be in class?" "Yes, I should be, I overslept, looks like I'll be lighter one course this semester..." Bianca waited to hear something more from June but June said nothing.  "Juney, do we have a problem?"  The bathroom door opened and June stood in the doorway with her hand on her hips and her head cocked sideway, her normally soft kind features looking bizarrely flushed and her lips slightly pursed.  "I don't know Bianca? Do we?"  Bianca took a step backwards "woah, June, where the hell is all of this coming from? Yesterday--"June cut Bianca off before she could finish her sentence "yesterday you blew me off again, like you have done every other time I have asked you to hang out since we moved here, has it occurred to you that all I've become to you is half the rent, that you have no idea what's happening in my life?"  "For God's sake June! Yesterday you said a raincheck for the movie was fine, now I'm waiting for you to start spewing pea soup and for  your head to start spinning around, I just can't figure out when you got so mad?"  June raised her finger to her chin cocked her head to the left and cut her eyes up to the right as if she was deep in thought "hmmm, let me see if I can put my - yes, yep I know when it was I think it's when you were screwing your wannabe Kenedy boyfriend in his lame car in front of the entire neighborhood like a 10 dollar hooker." Oh no, she saw. For a few moments Bianca stared at her friend trying to find the right words, and June stood there silently challenging Bianca to defend herself. "Wow, Juney.  I'm really sorry I haven't been more tuned in to you.  I really feel the pressure now that I know your stalking me?! Why the hell would you be watching us? And why is this so upsetting to you?"  June cluck ed her tongue, put her hands back on her hips and finally broke her steely blue eyes free from Bianca's. "Look Bea, I was just pissed you would rather be someone's cheap date than my friend, and I'm not feeling well, I'm sorry, I should have talked to you about it before I got so upset.  I knew you would see Tyler more when we moved here but I guess I'm just jealous about how much of you he's getting, i get tired of sloppy seconds."  Bianca  threw her arms around her friend "oh Juney I'm so sorry! I had no idea you were feeling that way!"  "Well, now you do, so can we have our movie night tonight?" , "Yes! Of course!" Bianca sang " but now I must get dressed before I get dropped from all of my classes, so I'll see you tonight!"  "Ok Bea. See you then...love you babe."  "Love you Juney"  June left the bathroom and Bianca slipped in shutting the door behind her and leaning against it, she thought to herself, Wow that was crazy, that was like certifiably freaky crazy stuff. Aside from June's uncharacteristic outburst and un warranted anger, why the hell was she watching me with Tyler last night. She seriously needs to get a life. Bianca started the shower, although she was a little freaked out about June's apparent split personality dissorder, she was relieved to have resolved the conflict with her for the time being.  Still there was Tyler and his odd behavior to address.
