During that first visit of Melinda's Ebony was still living in the house and she couldn't resist being a shit. Ebony never could resist her tendency towards mischief. She came to us all with the plan. We'd call her bad names in front of Melinda, but only if John or Edward were present. Outside their presence we'd be nice as pie. Edward and John could be depended on to be asses themselves. They looked for every girl's weaknesses. And, despite Ebony's toughness, that still hurt her. Racism still made her heart ache. Just as they wanted all of our hearts to ache. And, so they played that card. And, Ebony found a way to turn it against them. For a while at least.
