Anita stood in front of me, giving me a close up of what she actually looks like.
"Hey," she says first, and I nod. I chew the rest of my lollipop before throwing the stick into the grass somewhere. "You one of Barb's friends, huh?" I ask. Why is she talking to me?
"Yeah, I guess. I don't think I really get their humour yet, but she seems nice, though..." she trails off, as if expecting me to give her an answer to the unasked question.
I sit up. "Well, Barbie's a little hard to get. But, if she gives you an unapproving stare for a really long time, that either means, she's thinking about something you said, or she's letting you apologise. Totally bitchy, but somehow people respond to it." I answered her. She nods.
I hold out my hand. "Carol," I say. She raises her eyebrow, then shakes my hand. "Anita," she replies. "Carol suits you, you know." She says. I chuckle. "Thanks. Mom was a big fan of her show, so she named me after Carol Burnett" Anita nods.
"Anita... you Spanish or something?" I ask. She tips her head. "Yeah, I'm actually from Colombia!" She replies. I nod.
"Anita! You coming?" Ebony asks, strutting from around the corner. "I laugh. "You'd better go. Wouldn't want Barb to see you fraternising with her evil wench sister." I smirk, and Anita waves goodbye.
"Why were you talking to her?" I hear Ebony ask Anita, and I turn around shaking my head.

The bell rings, and I manage to snap out of my sleepy state. I grab all my bags together.
"I need a ride," Barb walks up to me. "Jesus, Barbie, announce yourself," I shake my head. I pull my bag over my shoulder. "And why can't one of your followers give you a ride?" I gesture to her group.
"Cause, Carol, I nee-"
"I can give you a ride," a sweet voice interrupts her. I smile and I thank her with my eyes for sparing me a ten minute car ride with the devil.
"Thanks, Anita." She gives me a look. "Hey, you got your ride, didn't you?" I say and she rolls her eyes. "See you at home," I say, and smile at the two.
