Riana cackled. "The night owl? That's a new one."
I smirked. "For a gothic girl like you, it's probably cute, huh?"
She grinned, kicking her boots onto my bed. "Maybe a little."
Riana and I have been best friends since high school. We even went to the same college, graduated together, and now we're both broke together—true sisterhood. She's like my long-lost twin, except she looks like a hot vampire bassist, and I look like… well, me.
