"what ? i didn't even know they stopped being friends." "do you think it's because mariana's hanging out with that junior drugie ?" "rue bennett ?" "nah , mariana's too pretty to be a drugie." "you never know." "wait , do you know why they stopped being friends ?" "who ?" "mariana and brielle." "young ? mariana young ?" "what other mariana is there ?"
oh how fun , gossipers. school.
i kept my head low , so feeling someone throw their arm around my shoulder i didn't know who it was.
"don't worry about them , babe."
i smiled , looking up to see madeline perez.
"it's not fucking nice to gossip." she growled , eyeing the group of people who had said those things before. hearing her say this , they immediately walked away.
"you okay ? what were they talking about anyway ?" she looked down at me , being just a little bit taller than me.
"yeah , me and my friend.. old friend." i told her , but she looked at me as if she was waiting for me to tell her more.
"they were making assumptions about why we could've stopped being friends." i spoke again.
she nodded , "why did y'all stop being friends ?"
i bit my lip , finding it embarrassing that brielle stopped being friends with me basically because i was "boring"
"uhh.." i started , hoping maybe she would let it go but she continued walking next to me.
"i don't know , she left me for some popular kids." i shrugged , trying not to seem like i was bothered by it , however i was. just not as much as i was when it happened.
"said i was "boring" but you know , it is what is it." i mumbled , talking only loud enough where she could hear , if she did that is. we're in school so everyone else's voices were loud and could easily cover over what i said.
"what the fuck ? who is she ?" she grabbed my shoulder , stopping me in my tracks and looking directly in my eyes.
"brielle.. collins." i said her last name too , just incase maddy didn't know who she was , im not sure if she knows a lot of freshman's.
she squinted her eyes , as a way of thinking. "i know who that is , i'll beat her little ass."
i smiled , shaking my head. "it's been almost a month maddy , i'm fine."
she raised my head up , making me look up from the ground. "you sure ? what she did was shitty , mar."
i shrugged , "it's whatever."
"no , we need to do something." she rolled her eyes , again throwing her arm around my shoulder as we walked.
i didn't respond , keeping my head low to avoid the stares of i was getting. it wasn't surprising , i was walking with THE maddy perez. i would stare too.
"at least say something to her." she spoke again , both of us reaching the bathroom.
i sighed , not even knowing what i would say. "or i can." she shrugged her shoulders , making me look at her through the mirrors.
"what would you say ?" i asked. to which she responded , "i don't know.. i'll come up with something."
i nodded , starting to think about things i could say to her.. or do to her. as in like if i should fight her , but i don't know. it seems useless at this point.. right ?
"but seriously mar , you can't let her treat you like that and get away with it. i won't let you." she talked through the stall , just as katherine hernandez walked in the the bathroom as well.
"kat ?" maddy spoke , me turning to her direction.
"oh , hey maddy. hey mar , what are y'all talking about ?" she asked , pulling out lipstick from her little purse.
i knew maddy was going to respond for me , so i stayed silent and turned back to the mirror , as maddy replied , like i knew she would. "mar's old friend dropped her for some popular bitches."
i formed my lips into a line , it sounds pathetic out loud. "the fuck ? why ?" kat turned to me , before turning right back to the mirror and beginning to fix her top , making her boobs more.. see able.
"who knows , but if i wasn't almost eighteen i would beat her ass." i chuckled at what maddy said , as she opened the stall , coming to stand next to me and kat.
"i said we should do something about it." maddy finished speaking , fixing her skirt in the mirror.
"obviously. who is it anyway ?" kat asked , turning her attention to both me and maddy.
"brielle , you know , that one freshman.. the blonde ?" maddy spoke , looking at kat and then back in the mirror , fixing her hair now.
"oh , yeah. i know her." kat realized who we were talking about , "i didn't even know y'all were friends , mar."
i chuckled , i guess it was obvious i was brielles last choice. "yeah because brielle probably left her all the time." maddy rolled her eyes , turning to me.
she's not wrong.
"well , call me if y'all do say something to her or anything." kat said , grabbing her phone and walking towards the bathroom door.
"wait ! i'm gonna come with you." maddy stopped her , quickly turning to me. "text me like tomorrow okay ? bye" she placed a kiss on my cheek , hurrying back to kat.
"bye." i said , even though she was already out the door and probably down the hall too.
i signed , collecting myself and pushing the bathroom door open , walking out.
"oh- hi , sorry." how ironic. brielle collins.
i pushed passed her not saying anything to her, people seeing and almost immediately whispering to each other.
"what the- mar !" i heard from behind me , but kept walking.
you know , maybe i should do something about that blonde bimbo. maybe maddys right.
