Forever And Always

Chapter 1

"You can't just keep doing that." I told my best friend Chelsea as she threw her book on the bed. "Why?" She asked. "You have to eventually do the work or else it'll catch up with you. Regardless, you'll get it done and learn your lesson." I say to her. She sighed. I'm so rude! Let me introduce myself. I'm Rebecca. I'm 5'3 and in the 6th grade. "Wassup my hittas!" My other best friend Amanda yelled bursting through the door with food. Chelsea quickly grabbed her something and laid down. I rolled my eyes. "You need to get your friend." I say. Amanda looks at Chelsea and we laugh. "Pitiful. Just pitiful." Amanda says. "Oooohhh! So guess what." Amanda says. We all sit around her and listen. "I heard Jason likes me." Amanda says. Me and Chelsea burst out laughing. "You kidding right?" Chelsea says rolling on the ground. "No! I'm dead serious." Amanda answers. "Who told you?" I ask calming down. "Tonya." She answers. "Awe nah not Talkative Tonya. Man." Chelsea says. I giggle a little. Amanda looks at Chelsea confused. "You know that girl talks her head off all day and 99.9% of the stuff she says are lies." Chelsea snaps. "Maybe she's in the .1% that's the truth." I say supporting Amanda. I know how much she's been crushing on Jason. Ever since 3rd grade. We're in 6th now and she still likes him. "I'm saying! Thank you Rebecca. Thank you." Amanda says mugging Chelsea. Chelsea rolled her eyes. "Guys. Let's just not argue over it." I suggest. They agree. "Y'all gotta go home though. Nothing against ya. You just ya know. Gotta go cause it's a school night." I say. They suck their teeth and roll their eyes but manage to stand on their feet. "Love you guys." I say leading them to the front door. "We don't love you." Chelsea mumbled. "Then don't come back." I said. "I'm kidding!" Chelsea says. I laugh. "I love you regardless." Amanda says hugging me. "She's nice." I say to Chelsea. Chelsea sucks her teeth and we hug. I wave bye to them and wait for my mom to come home. I decided I'd get dinner started for my mom. In the meantime, I'll tell you more about myself. As you know, I'm Rebecca. I have hair that stops at my shoulders, I also have dark brown eyes. I have dimples when I smile and I have a thick body to be a 6th grader to be honest. I also have milk chocolate skin. I live in Columbia, SC. I'm a gamecocks nation fan and I attend Longleaf Middle. I guess that's a lot to know. You wanna know how much I weighed at birth? Just kidding. I don't even know myself. I decided I'd make Salisbury Bury Steak and gravy with rice and green beans. Of course the steak is gonna be hamburger patties. If you didn't know, now you know. 10 minutes into cooking, I look at my phone and see I got a text from my mother.

MOMMY: hey sweetie I'll b running home late today

ME: it's fine

MOMMY: k. Mommy loves u 😘

ME: I luv u 2 mommy 😚

I sighed at the fact I'd be eating dinner alone again tonight. I decided I'd finish and just fix my mom a plate and put it in the microwave for her to keep it warm. 30 minutes later I was done with dinner. I ate my food, washed the dishes, fixed my mom a plate, and put up the food. I turned out all the lights and walked to the back where my room was. I decided to text my friends.

ME: home alone again
