Silver Bullet

Blood and Chocolate

Chocolate. The only thing to piece together my ego by tomorrow, well that and a binge session of Netflix.

I lay on the couch my hand digging in the bag of chocolate as I throw it in the air and catch it with my mouth.

Chocolate-0
Me-1

A loud knock makes me jump and the bag lands on the floor with chocolate spilling out.

Oh this better be good, I think grumpy as I pick the bag up off the floor, Twinkie comes up behind me to eat the pieces that fell on the floor and I hear another knock as I head towards the door.

"Hold your freaking horses." I yell as I swing the door open. Michelle my best friend,is waiting for me with her hands on her hip.

"Is that any way to talk to me after standing me up last night, you know you better have a damn good reason!" She scoffs as she walks inside, she sees the chocolate on the table and the choice I have in taste of Netflix.

"Ok who is he? And is there a body already or are we working on an alibi?" She says facing me arms crossed.

" psshhhh what..." She gives me a cut the crap look,"...ok fine there was a guy for like two days but I'm so over it." I fake being uninterested but she knows me all to well.

" Ok fine I'm not over it but I will be because now that I think of it he's kinda a smart ass and two of those in a relationship just won't work." I grab the chocolate off the table and hit play on the t.v. again.

"So what your gonna piece yourself back together with chocolate and Netflix?"she questions turning off the tv.

" as a matter of fact I am." I say with a mouth full of chocolate. She snatches the bag from me and holds it in the air out of my reach.

" well not under my watch missy!" She says in a high southern tone. " I will not let you ruin that stomach over some wannabe rich guy."

" Riiiggghhtt." I say rolling my eyes. "So what are you gonna do stay here and guard the chocolate from me?"a smirk plays across my lips as I reply.

"Nope, I'm just gonna kidnap you and take you out to a bonfire!" She replies putting her hands on her hip.

"HA! There is no way I'm stepping foot outside this house tonight." I cross my arms to and then we just stand there staring at each other with our arms crossed.

" Oh no you're going missy, if I have to drag you kicking and screaming in that." She waves her hands up and down my body, noting my oversized t-shirt and yoga pants.

" hey this is a perfect outfit when you wanna stay inside AWAY from people!" I insinuate really hard on the away, but I can tell from her facial expression that this isn't over.

" Are we forgetting my daddy is the sheriff and I will get handcuffs if I have to." She threatens.

I contemplate my choices for a minute before replying. On one hand I can stay inside moping and eating chocolate then go back to school tomorrow feeling fat and ugly and guilty, or I can go to this party and not have to hear crap from Michelle later.
I squint my eyes at her and she claps her hands in excitement. " I'd knew you see it my way!" She giggles taking my silence as approving, " I can even fix your hair, oh and I got the perfect outfit for you in the car!"She squeals.

"And what is wrong with my clothes!"I whine as she pushes me towards the bathroom down the hall.

" Oh you mean the clothes that make you look like a bum, or the ones that make you look like a mechanic." She says sarcastically eyeing me out of the corner of her eyes.
