"marley!" laurie screams. "why in the world can't you pay me back?!"

marley brushes her short, curly, brown hair out of her auburn eyes, which are rolling like crazy.

"because, i don't want to."

"why not?!"

marley sighs and begins to explain as if she were talking to a child.

"because you see, the money you lent me went to something that was completely necessary for me, so i feel like you were helping me. and there's no real reason for me to pay you back."

laurie glares daggers at her roommate before flouncing off to her own room.

"fine," she grumbles angrily under her breath. she snaps open one of her mahogany drawers. "you don't have to ever know what you're missing."

the first time that laurie sells marley's possessions on ebay, she's really frightened. she's scared the marley will randomly log onto e-bay and discover her missing hoop rings, her new perfume, her favorite books. but, either marley's stoned out of her mind or she's the exact opposite of a materialist because she never seems to notice things missing. she always takes laurie's word for it. like the one time she was looking for her ruby quartz necklace, she had torn up the entire dormitory looking for it. papers were strewn haphazardly around her desk, the sheets were ripped off her bed, and the main room looked like a tornado had hit.

"where's my ruby quartz necklace? have you seen it?!" she had asked frantically, tossing more papers and books onto the ground. laurie winced as a particularly heavy textbook landed on her foot.

"no, i haven't. but that necklace never really looked good on you anyway, why don't you try for something else?"

marley had stopped dead in her tracks and gave laurie one of her most genuine smiles ever before thanking her and rushing off to class sans any necklace whatsoever. laurie had just smirked, packaging the said necklace later that day and mailing it off to some unknown customer in alaska. she had completely regained the money that she had lost, but since marley never noticed, what was the harm in continuing?
