THIRTEEN, pen15

5. Miranda

   We all sat at the lunch table near Gabe, Jafeer, and Sam. Again, I forgot my lunch money so I wasn't able to buy lunch. Maya had gave me her apple though.

   "Hey, Juney." Sam said in which I smiled in reply then turned to Anna and Maya.

   "Juney, huh?" Anna and Maya said, looking at me with a smirk.

   "Shh." I laughed.

   "Uh Mai?" Anna asked.

   "Anna." Maya replied, eating.

   "Can you get something out of my backpack?"

   "That's like so annoying, Anna." Maya complaining, slamming her chopsticks on the table.

   "Well fine then, don't get it. I'll get it." Anna replied. "I'll get my hands all over my backpack." She said as Maya ripped open her bag.

   "No." Maya said through a grin. "Are you serious? Hell to the no! Are you serious?" Mai screamed. "Oh my god this is Sylvanian Family Hamburger
Wagon!" She exclaimed while Anna looked proud of herself.

   "We should definitely do this tonight." Anna said.
  
   "Oh my god yes!" Said Maya.

   "Beth we have talked about this." Anna started in a southern accent.

   "I have talked about it endlessly to you." Maya replied, following her lead. In the meantime, they had caught the attention of Sam, Gabe, and Jafeer who looked at me but I replied with a shrug.

   "We are eating in public tonight." Anna continued.

   "I don't care. I want french fries in my mouth while you suck on them too." (kill me rn ☠️) Maya said. Then Jafeer interrupted their conversation.

   "Why do you have dolls?" He asked.

   "We don't. These this?" Anna said, obviously annoyed.

   "Yes, these that."

   "That's not a doll. That, no. That's an investment from eBay." Na defended.

   "That looks like a doll." Jafeer said, unfazed. Then Gabe opened his mouth,

   "You're playing with them tonight and everyone knows it. Okay?"

   "Okay?" Maya said mocking him. "Gabe. Like what? What are you, the smartest man on the living Earth? Yes we are playing with them because they are collecter items, so why do you care?"

   "Collecters items means you kinda put them on display." Gabe continued.

   "Lady, you're 13." Sam joined in.

   "And?" Mai said.

   "And you're still playing with dolls?" Sam asked.

   "Uhm, I saw you with a G. I. Joe last week." Anna added.

   "They're ripped, okay?" Gabe said which made me laugh and him also earning a very confused look from Jafeer.

   "Okay but you're admitting that you play with them?" Na asked.

   "I have G. I. Joes, but I don't play with them." Sam replied.

   "Oh my god!" Maya and Anna both said.

   "I'm Sam, I don't think I play with G. I. Joes." Anna said, imitating. Then, Maya and Anna broke out into a whole song about Sam playing with dolls.

   "Shut up." Sam tried as they continued, completely ignoring him.

   "Shut up!" Sam yelled, standing up while doing so. "Shut up! Hey, everybody! Oh my god, what's in that box Maya and Anna? Maya and Anna have a box full of dolls that they're playing with tonight." Sam said stupidly loud.

   "Oh my god." Anna whispered embarrassed and annoyed. Maya and Anna got up and walked away. Then, Gabe, Sam, and Jafeer turned their attention to me.

   "Don't drag me into this." I said simply before getting up and joining Maya and Anna.

   We were just talking till a ton of girls came into the bathroom.

   "Shes such a slut." One of them said.

   "Um, my brother was going to pick up some herb for us tonight." Said another. We started whispering but I could tell we were being too loud. Then I heard them.

   "Wait, who is that? Do you guys have a lighter?"

   "I left it in my desk." Anna said, trying to sound more "mature."

   "Totally chill, no worries." Said a girl. Then they dropped a cigarette under our stall.

   "Shit, can you guys get that?" They asked but none of us moved. That was until we heard the restroom door open and the janitor come inside.

   "What's going on in here?" The janitor asked.

   "Uh we were just eating out lunch." I replied, quietly panicking.

   "In here? Everything okay?" They asked as the stall door opened. But their eyes laid straight onto the cigarette.

   "I swear thats not ours." Maya said.

   "Look, lessons get learned through choices. And that's why im going you have you throw it away, not me. Okay?" The janitor said. But as we were about to leave, Anna slipped the cigarette into her pocket.

After school, Sam came up to us.
  
   "Hey ladies, I just wanted to apologize." He said.

   "Shut the fuck up, slut." Maya said unexpectedly which made me laugh silently.

   "Okay?" Sam said confused. Then Anna's mom came up behind us. That was my cue to leave when I saw my brothers car.

   "I fucking hate this school."
