"Hey, Norabella?"
Piper asks as we do our homework.

"Mhm?"
I reply, my eyes still on these hard and stupid fractions and multiplication problems.

"Come with me."
She says standing up from the bench.

I sigh, but stand up.

She leads me to the big maple tree.
"Okay. Sit." She says pointing to the blanket that's on the ground.

"What? Is this an intervention?"
I ask sarcastically.
She chuckles but shakes her head.

"Stay."
She says before she runs back to the school.

Great.

She returns minutes later.
And next to her is,
Kyle!? Ugh!

Kyle looks equally as confused as me.

Piper points to the space in front of me.

Kyle hesitates, but sits down.

I'm giving a death glare at Piper.

"Okay. This has gone on long enough.
You guys have been best friends for 3 years and you're letting some stupid fight rip your bond apart! You're not leaving until you are friends again."

Are you joking me?

"Go on."
Piper says.

We both stay silent.
I turn my glare to Kyle and he clears his throat.
I'm glad he's uncomfortable.

He deserves this!

"Okay fine! If you guys won't start talking, I'm gonna start talking"

Oh shoot.

"Norabella, if you guys don't work out your issues, I'm going to go and do something to make you talk."

Oh shoot. Oh shoot.

We stay silent.
I'm not giving in.

She walks forward and sits down.
So we're in a triangle.

She holds her hand out.

"Give me the bracelet."
She says.

Oh dang it!

Through all of this me and Kyle are both still wearing our blue best friends brackets.
We haven't really taken them off in 3 years.

I shake my head and put my hand behind my back.

"Oh? So you'll keep the friendship bracelet, but not the friendship?"

Okay she's got a point.
I hate being friends with wise people.

She moves to Kyle and does the same thing.

"Gimmie the bracelet."

"No."
He says.

"See? You guys won't give in. You're not giving in your friendship.
If you to were really really mad at eachother, you would've given me the bracelets.
And Kyle, if you really didn't actually like Norabella, you wouldn't even be here. You would still be over there with Kessica."

He sighs.
And I do as well.

"I'm sorry."
He says.

I need to make sure he's telling the truth.

"Say 'Beans beans beans'"
(See what I did there?)

He looks at me right in the eyes.

"Beans beans beans."
I squint at him for a second.

But then expand my arms out to hug him.

Phew!
I'm sick of fighting.
It's getting sooooo boring.

"I'm sorry too."
I say pulling back.

"You're welcome, and you're welcome!"
Piper says.

"Now can we finish lunch? I'm hungry."
She says standing up then walking back to I the bench.

Me and Kyle laugh, but stand up.

"You can go back to Kessica if you want."
I say as we walk.

"Ew no."
He says.
I chuckle and can't help but smile.

It's nice to have one of my bestfriends back.

But I swear, if he ever says the name Kessica again I going to loose it.

Who names there kid Kessica!?

You're welcome. 🐸☕️
