My Complicated Life

your friend doesn't like me

" hi am Mira" she said to me as she stretched out her hand for a handshake, I noticed she wore bracelets on her hands. I know she looked familiar but I just couldn't place where I have seen her before. I took the handshake and I was surprised at how soft and comforting it was, I noticed she wore a small cute ring on her hand, she looked at me as if she was trying to make something out of my face. She snapped her fingers and said " your Rose Wellington right? We sat down together and wrote the SAT exams! We even play basketball together". I was shocked I recognized her, there was a reason why I didn't let my first time meeting her in the exam hall get to because she was friends with The Bouncers aka bad boys that I would never associate myself with. I even heard a rumour that she was dating the leader whose name I can't just remember." Yeah that's me! Thanks for helping me with the......"
" Don't mention it I don't mind helping you" she came closer to my face smiled and left, I couldn't help but wonder if this girl was insane!
I paid for my groceries and left the store, I texted Stacey and she wasn't done shopping, I sat down on a chair in a canteen and surfed the internet as I waited for Stacey. Then I perceived a familiar smell, I turned and saw Mira right behind me smiling as usual, she waved at me and sat down near me, " hi Rose we meet again! What are you doing here? Do you need a ride home?". A part of me was shocked as to how this girl wanted to give me a ride home even when we hardly know each other and a part of me wanted to run for the hills cause she was not what I had expected her to be. " No thanks, I came with a friend of mine"
She frowned and said " did you come with your boyfriend?" I nearly laughed my head off, I shook my head and told her that I came with my best friend. After that we talked and as it turns out we actually had a lot in common and we ended up exchanging numbers and she promised to even pick me up for basketball practice, everything was going well until Stacey returned with a handful of clothes that I was pretty sure she would never wear. She eyed Mira and snorted when Mira said hello to her, Mira stood up gave me a hug and left. Stacey looked at me and walked to the car and I followed her with out saying anything cause there was actually nothing to say.
We got into the sports car and she signed and finally said " what the hell were you doing talking to Mira Donald?" I was shocked by her outburst so I didn't say anything and she looked at me more as if she was expecting me to say something but i just shut up and let her look at me. She has no right to ask me why I talked to someone that wasn't in our league, I never questioned her when she picked other girls over me and I never questioned her when she came back to me crying when ever any new friend that she makes leaves her and makes her broke.
She drove me home and I left the car and went into the house, I really didn't want to talk to her at all! I looked at the time and decided to go for a nice long soak in the bathtub before Mira would come to pick me up.

I wore a red jersey and a white sneakers as I waited by the road for Mika, my heart raced as I saw her black Audi pull up near me,I was beginning to rethink if I should be riding with this insane girl.She wore a sports bar and a jersey shorts and she wore the same cap that I had seen her wearing at the store. I entered the car and I noticed the entire car was surprisingly neat and smelled nice.
" Your friend doesn't like me does she?" She said as she gripped the staring wheel, I noticed she wasn't wearing the ring and I somehow felt awkward to answer the question so I said, "yeah she doesn't but who cares, I mean your my friend right and she doesn't have the right to choose who I can and cannot friend". She looked at me and smiled then she said " am glad you said that, I actually thought you would just avoid me". I shook my head and said " that is not possible". We arrived at the high school and she parked her car in the parking lot and we got out, she wore her jersey top and took off her cap and put it on my head as she tied her hair into a messy bun, " the cap suits you, you look nice in it". Then we walked in and made our way to the court, we went to the locker room to drop our bags and on our way out we bumped into Stacey who just made past us without apologizing for bumping Mira hard. What the heck is wrong with Stacey????
