"Know it's for the better, know it's for the better, know it's for the better"
The four friends arrived to the cemetery, "Ok, there's actually a lot of people here" Darren said looking around"Told you!"
"It's gonna be fun" Sydney smiled, looking around at people
"Just remember what we said. Just own it. Ok, i've never made an entrance like this before" Darren admitted
As if they were in a movie everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to the four, mainly looking at Amerie, not expecting she would show her face
"No, we should go. We should definitely go" Amerie looking around, wide eyed
"I kinda agree" Sydney said playing with her necklace
"Hey, skittles. Hey, cunt" Malakai smiled walking over, Sydney tilted her head
"Skittles?" she asked confused, "Everyone call's you Syd, i wanna switch it up" he smiled
"Oh, also, my actually names Malakai, by the way" he added, turning towards Amerie
"Amerie"
"Yeah. That's been hard to miss"
Amerie looked around once more, "I feel like everyone is staring at me"
"No! No, they're staring at us. What are you talking about?" Malakai chuckled, he grabbed Sydney's hand walking over to the dance floor, the two began to dance, Quinni and Darren joining them
"Ok, im confronting him" Quinni nodded walking over to Spider
"Hey, flaps"
"Here, Spider" she said hanging him a folder full of stuff
Spider opened the binder and began to flip through it, "Yuck! What is this shit?" he asked making a face
"Oh. You dont like vaginas?" she asked, he looked around noticing everyone staring at them, "No, i like vaginas"
"Right, ok. Well, you clearly dont know much about them because if you have a look here.. Um, if you have a look here. See most vaginas have very pronounced flaps, or labia, and some of them, um, are even lopsided, where I'm assuming you got the entire "Lazy Kabab" from, but, um, its very normal. You probably wouldnt know, because its not actually taught in publish school very much. Which is actually very-"
He cut her off, "I've seen heaps of vaginas. Thanks" he said giving her the folder back
"Ok. I just assumed, on account of the fact that you were lying about seeing mine, that you were lying about seeing others too" she said, people began to laugh making her look around confused
"Look, of course we didnt have sex. Why would i root a fucknut like you?" he said before walking away, making sure to hit her binder on the way
Amerie had dragged Sydney over to where Harper was peeing, "Oi, can we talk?" Amerie spoke up, Harper jumped a little, Sydney sat down on one of the benches
"Jesus let me finish. Just keep talking until i can get going again" Harper sighed, still crouched down
"Why dont you want to be friends anymore. After everything, Harp? It's killing me" Amerie spoke softly, Harper stood up putting her pants back on
"I just want to fix it. Please tell me how to fix it"
"What happened to your hair?" Harper asked noticing her fringe, "I cut it"
"Yourself?"
"Yeah"
Harper chuckled, "I told you no bloody Youtube tutorials. You never listen"
"And you never talk" Amerie shook her head, "What happened? We were fine up until the festival"
Festival Flashback
Sydney and Harper held onto one another, the two were stuck in the middle of everyone dancing
"Harps, breath, ok?" Sydney spoke softly, grabbing her face, "Good, just like that. Keep breathing"
"I went to your house and you weren't-" Amerie began but Harper cut her off, "Why'd you do that?"
"You werent talking to me-"
"So what? You stalked my house and harassed my dad?"
Amerie almost laughed, "I didnt harass your dad. Harper-"
"That is suck a typical psycho thing for you to do" Harper scoffed, Sydney felt very much out of place right now
"You're the psycho. You ruined my life"
"Ruined your life? All this shit, Amerie, the map, your stupid fucking crush on Dusty, do you not understand how unimportant it all is? You're a child"
"That's not a reason to dump me. What's happened to you? Harper"
"I just want to move on. And i dont want you in my life anymore" Harper looked at Sydney before turning and leaving
Sydney laughed as Malakai spun her around, "You look really pretty" he smiled putting his hands back on her waist
"Thank you, Kai, you look handsome yourself" she smiled
"Kai?" he questioned, "Everyone calls you Malakai, or Mal, i wanna switch it up" she mimicked him
"Cute. Skittles and Kai" he laughed, spinning her around once more
"Best duo" she nodded
"Oh, no doubt" he said before dipping her, she laughed grabbing onto his arms
"I think blue is definitely your color" he added, she smiled putting her arms back around his neck
"You think so? I always thought blue made me look fat" she frowned a little
"I think it makes you look absolutely perfect" he looked at her, moving the hair out of her face
"Thank you, Kai" she whispered, she noticed him looking at her lips, the two began to lean in
They broke apart when someone came over and grabbed her hand, Darren smiled, "Sorry to ruin this, but come on" he nodded his head towards Amerie who looked like she was abut to cry
Sydney smiled apologetically at Malakai as she was dragged away from him, "Is it time to go home?" Darren looked at her
"You dont have to" Amerie shook her head
"Yes, we do" Quinni nodded, Amerie turned around to look at Harper, turning back around to look at the three
"Let's get the hell out of here" she sighed, the four linked their arms together
"Tonight was weird anyway" Darren added, they began to leave the cemetery
"Im not gonna let her win. Im gonna go back to school. And im gonna make it my bitch"
"Period"
