“Must be interesting having that name around here,” a lawyer said to Chesster.
“Yes,” Luxe spoke for him, “Everyone is always challenging him to games of chess.”
“I meant the last name. Furman?”
“This is why we run away from the lawyers,” Ellipses said to me. We shuffled backward out of the circle. I didn’t step very carefully [...]
As a matter of form I asked Luxe why she wanted to work for a judge.
“Oh, I know what you’re thinking. I’m totally passing up four thousand dollars since it’s not technically public interest. But I’ve thought about it, and I realized I can do more Good from within the system than from outside of [...]
Ellipses, Luxe and I met up in Ellipses’s room, which was a few floors below mine in Dag.
“Hipster!” Luxe greeted me from the desk chair. She believed my nickname had stuck and I had trouble correcting her. “If I weren’t madly in love with Chesster I would rape you right now. You look so super [...]
Almost every night of the week Ellipses invited me to go with her to a law firm reception. One after another, firms were begging 1L’s to come get drunk with them for free at expensive restaurants. The food was free too. Supposedly it wasn’t like the weird caviar crap you had to eat when your [...]
Ellipses left a party with a guy later that same week. It was the 19th floor party which happened every Friday in the other law dorm.

The back of the bar was unusually crowded; there [...]
First time here? Start at the beginning.
“I can’t go to Lolita with you guys anymore,” Nicko said. “I’m sorry, dude.”
“You only went to Lolita once with us,” I said, “and it was because I made you meet me there so I could return your laptop.” Nicko used to leave his laptop at my apartment when [...]
First time here? Start at the beginning.
Griffothy got an A, A-, and B+. I got two B’s and a B-. Ellipses and I never talked about it but people said she got 2 B+’s without making any outlines. (She didn’t seem happy, though.) Nicko and I talked about nothing except sex for the week following [...]
First time here? Start at the beginning.
Once we sat down we were just as close to strangers on either side as we were to each other. But I always forgot the outside world existed as soon as I sat down in a restaurant like that. New York was so crowded that it was private. First [...]
