Allera.

FRIEND - 8

Crowd noises coming out of the TV, and Allera laying down on someone's chest looking somewhat comfortable and not awkward at all. Reminding herself that this is normal behavior for people who date. For people looking at Allera and the boy she is putting a head on, this might look cute at a glance but in the real world, Allera froze up.

This is her first time laying her chest on a boy, a boy she just started dating a week ago. She refuse to move her head, she shampooed her head so much so that when the moment happening right now happened, he won't smell something disgusting on her head.

"Are you comfortable?", He said.

She stays quiet, she was feeling so much emotion but she knows she is not uncomfortable.

"Allera?"

He called.

"Alle?"

He called again

"Lera?"

She finally looks up at him and answers.

"What? And who's Lera?" She raises her eyebrow.

"You are," He smiles genuinely.

"I am? Nobody called me Lera before..", She scratch her head.

"huh.. so I am a nobody?", He said pretending to feel hurt but he still has that smile on his face so Allera knows he is being a jokester right now.

"Okay.. okay.. call me Lera or whatever.", she rolled her eyes laughing, and went back to the TV they were supposed to be watching.

Even though their eyes seem to be looking at the screen, all they could think about was the girl on his chest and the boy she laid my head on. It looks like the TV is their bystander, just a box of something that shoots out people's noises while they think about each other in their private little heads.

As well as I know it, I am not a very social person. I tend to judge people too quickly and the problem with me isn't with the judging. Everybody judges but it is their choice to speak it out, not for me I judge and speak it out. My friends mostly got the shit I happen to think about them. I have never thought about why they never cut me out of their group, yes, I don't think I'm the boss of them. I am not Regina George, I'm just me, the money, character, and fame. Now that I don't have the money, I do think I act a little bit nicer compared to before. 

Right now, I am sitting eating silently in front of my 3 friends that I constantly critique for the past 5 years. They all just sat there looking at me weirdly. I was the only one eating, so I look up and they were already in that tilting their head to the side and their mouth hanging out of confusion. I stop chewing the food that was already inside my mouth.

"What?"

They went back to their default face, " I have never seen you eat with your face almost in the bowl Allera...", Natalie said with concern. 

"What do you mean?", Even though I damn well know what they are implying.

They all took a glance like they know something was going to come out sooner or later, and the time is now. I saw Natalie deeply inhale I think she decide she'll start the conversation.

"we've talked about it and it's been one of our concern.", 

O-oh. This is it, this is the talk. The I-think-you're-a-good-friend-but-sorry-we-can't-be-friends-with-you-anymore talk, or they found out I am no longer rich so they want to cut me off. I puff, stop shoving into my mouth, then look up.
