"Okay Norabella, this is Keasica."
Kyle says interdicting me to the red head.

She smiles and shakes my hand.
She's trash!

I'm resisting the urge to slap her.

"Hi! Kyle told me all about you!"
She says.

She's totally putting up an act!

"Uh thanks! He told me a lot about you to"
I reply.
She smiles and looks at Kyle.

She's totally going to suck him into the dark side.

"Well, guys. We should all do home work together after school!"
Kyle says as we all walk down the hall.

I clench my left fist but smile.

"Sounds great."
I say.

"Sure"
Kessica replies.

Okay finally. Homework finished.

"I need water."
Kyle says.
He stands up and walks out of his room and to the left.

Now it's just me and trash.

"So how did you meet Kyle?"
Kessica asks as she puts her finished homework in her dumb backpack.

"At the police station"
She squints her eyes but shrugs.

"That's... Cool."
She replies.
I cross my arms.

"Is there something wrong with that or...?"
I reply back sassily.

"Well that's just an odd meeting pl- wait a second"
She says stopping.

"Are YOU the chick who got beat up by your dad?"
She replies casually.

She's stepping on the line.

"He's not my dad. He's Jim. And yes"

She glares and be and chuckles.
"Well, technically he's your dad. What about your mom?"

Both feet are in the line.

"No he's not my dad. He's JIM. And my moms not here anymore."

"Where'd she go? What is she dead or something?"
She replies back sarcastically.

She's crossed the line.

"Yeah. She actually is."
I reply.
Her eyes widen and she puts her hand over her mouth.

"Oh my god. I'm so so-"
Kyle walks in and sits down.

"What happened?"
He asks when he sees the angry look on my face.

"I have to go."
I say glaring at Kessica.
I pick up my bag and storm out of the room and I slam the door.

That felt good.

I don't walk away though. I listen through the door. Let's see what she's gonna say.

"What happened?"
Kyle asks again

"Well she just freaked out cause I asked what happened to her mom"
She replies. Sorta like she doesn't care.
Ugh!
You better defend me Kyle.
Best friends before trashy girls.

"Oh... She's just not over it. She's sorta freaks out over a lot of stuff."

Freak out?

"Why're you friends with her then? If she's that annoying"

"I sorta feel bad cause she doesn't have any friends."

I feel my eyes water.

I can't believe this.

Joey

I hear the front door song open and the slam shut.

Me and Daniel both look at eachother worriedly and then rush out of the room.

"The hell?"
Daniel mummers.

"I HATE EVERYTHING!"
I hear Norabella yell from inside her room.

"Baby, what's wrong?"
I say lightly knocking on the door

Daniel opens the door and walks on. Me following right after.

She lays flat on the ground.
Sobbing.

She's never had an episode like this since she was 7.

"What's wrong?"
Daniel asks siting down next to her.

"Gah!"
She yells out.

"Wanna call Kyle?"
I ask.
She sits up and shakes her head.

"He's the last person I wanna speak to right now!"
She says.
She's never ever been in a fight with him before.

"What did he do?"
Daniel asks.
She rubs her eyes.

"Well we were doing homework with stupid, trashy, Kessica, and she was like 'What happened to your mom?' And she was being all pushy and then was like "what is she dead?" And I was like "yeah" then she was going to say sorry, but I left, then I heard Kyle say in an over reactor, and she asked why he's still friends with me, and he said "Cause she doesn't have any friends!"

I look at over at Daniel and he just doesn't know what to do.

"Honey, it's okay."
I say rubbing her back.

"No it's not okay! Kessica stole my best, and ONLY friend!"
She says crying.

Oh Kyle...
What have you done?
