Movie Night

I sat on Violet's couch with Mean Girls playing in the background. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't focus on the movie due to my two best friends passionately making out with their stupid boyfriends.

Movie night wasn't always hell for me. Usually, it was just me, Vi, and Scarlet. Now they both have boyfriends, I'm in the awkward couple sandwich whenever we have a movie night which was every other Saturday. Honestly, I am just a spare tire. It's very similar to what you may call a third wheel but two times worse. You are by TWO annoying couples just watching. You know how awkward that is?

"Can you guys just PLEASE get a room?! Vi has tons of them!" I screamed. I could tell that both Vi and Scarlet were both pretty agitated because I inturrupted their love fest because they both stopped kissing at the same time and gave me the death look.

"Just watch the god damn movie, Ellie." Vi snapped.

"How can I when all I hear is giggling and loud sucking noise?"

"Fine. Then just go watch the movie in my room if it bothers you so much."

"Maybe I will!" I got up off the couch and took the DVD out and took it to Violet's room.

Her room was actually surprisingly tidy and well kept. Posters hung on the wall, neatly folded clothes, her purple blankets neatly laid out on her queen sized bed. Just a normal room.

I put turned on the television and put it into the DVD player. As I jumped on Vi's bed, I tried my best to mess it up and get comfortable just to see jer get pissed off. She's the one who left me for her boyfriend. Her and Scarlet.

While Mean Girls played, I got bored so I started looking on Instagram. Just pictures of couples. Great. I can't escape this world of love and mushy cute stuff. I decided to log out of Instagram so I wouldn't be tempted to look at all the icky couples.

Nearing the end of the movie, Scarlet and Vi creak open the door.

"You alright, shithead?" Scarlet laughed.

"Lucas and Hayden leave?" I said already knowing the answer.

"Yup." Scarlet said as she and Vi
squeezed into the bed.

Vi jumped in. "Have you guys seen that new girl yet? Ummm.... let's see... what's her name? Avril? Alex? Apple?"

"What type of parent names their child Apple? You sound stupid, Vi. Its April." Scarlet said laughing.

"Well I don't know! I would name a child Apple. What kind of name is April? That's a month. Not a name. Anyways, when have I not sounded stupid."

"We all know that, Vi." I joked as a patted Vi's head like a dog. "You know, you guys aren't that bad when you guys arent just making out with your boyfriends."

"You love us." Scarlet said, batting her eyelashes.

"Hey! We are getting off topic. Well the new girl came from Flordia. She has P.E with me. She honestly does nothing though. She just sits there and talks to all these dweebs." Vi added.

"Look who is stealing my word!" I stuck my tongue out. "Maybe she likes the dweebs."

"Eh. Who knows. Well, I should probably head out now." Scarlet said as she got up and grabbed her purse. "See you weirdos at school monday."

"Byeeeee loser!" Vi and I said in unison.

We both bear hugged Scarlet and watched her drive off in her dad's car. Her dad refuses to buy her a car of her own till she can pay for it herself.

"I'm ordering pizza." Vi said as she dialed Pizza Hut. The only place she will buy pizza from.

"Ooooo! Get me some Hawaiian pizza!"

"Got it."

As I hear Violet ordering our pizza, I decide to rummage through her freezer to see if she has any ice cream. Of course. Cherry. My absolute least favorite ice cream. Tastes like shit. I decide to still take it out of the freezer because right now, I am craving some ice cream.

When I get back to the room, Violet is off the phone with the pizza place. I put the ice cream on her dresser.

"Whatcha doinng?"

She looks up at me from her phone. "Texting Melanie."

Melanie. The girl who I met from a group chat. Violet's internet friend who is obsessed with pizza.

"TELL HER WE HAVE PIZZA! MAKE HER SUFFER!"

"Already did."

"Great." I threw myself on the now messy bed and pulled up the groupchat we have on Kik. The name changes every week but right now, it's suck at shitheads. Melanie, Scarlet, Violet, Vi's boyfriend, Lucas, and me were all part of the group chat for the longest time.

"God damn. Tell Melanie to stop spamming!" I said as I pushed Vi off the bed.

"If the potato wants to spam, she shall spam!" she said while getting up and finding a new movie. "What do you-" my phone made a loud beeping noise, cutting off Vi. "Who's texting you? You're a loner!"

"Thanks." I walk over to get my phone. A follow request on Instagram. It's April.

"It's Apple. How the fuck did she find me or even know I existed?"

"Maybe she's trying to follow everyone from school."

"That's stupid."

"Whateverrrrrrr."
