Today is the day I will resolve the problems between my two best friends. How? I have no idea but I'm gonna find a way!
I text Stella:
Hey xx
Wanna come over?
xx xx xx
my phone takes a while to buzz again,
Sure, Eva!
I'll bring the chick flicks!
xx xx xx xx xx xx
I have to admit, the weekend is way better than school but, who likes school anyway? When I grow up, I want to be a bus driver. Don't judge me! I don't have big plans for the future!
And then I call Micah to ask him if he can come.
*******
The doorbell rings, I'm only in my trackie bottoms and a light vest but it has to be one of them. I open the door to Stella who is holding a box of movies. "Shall we?"
She comes and I notice she has curled her usually straight blonde hair. "You look nice!"
"Thanks, Eva!"
As we sit down, she unbuttons her navy parks jacket to reveal a quirky and colourful jumpsuit.
She takes out the movies and arranges them on the sofa.
"i've got..."
Mean girls (even though I've seen the film a thousand times!)
The Princess diaries
legally blonde
We both turn to face each other and say what film we wanna watch. "The Princess diaries!!!!" We both start giggling and the door bell rings again.
*******
"Hey," Micah says when I open the door. He peeps his head through the door frame and scowls. "What's she doing here?"
From the inside of the living room I hear, "Micah?"
But he's already walking the other way. "Where are you going?"
"Just anywhere away from her!"
I pull him back in and double latch the door so he can't get out. "No! you are gonna stay here and I'm gonna fix it!"
I drag him into the living room and Stella moves up along the sofa. "Why him?" she stage whispers to me.
*******
"I'm gonna do this the old fashioned way. Micah? Stella?"
Stella nods and Micah shrugs nonchalantly. "She knows I like her." he says, his head down.
"So what's the problem?"
Stella opens her mouth yo speak but Micah suddenly gets up, "The problem is, your friend is a b!tch!"
Tears well up in Stella's eyes and she shoots an intense look at Micah. "Don't you...don't you ever talk to me again, Micah!"
Stella guard me a tight hug an then speed-walks through the door.
*******
This morning, I'm at school and the vibe is messed up. I'm sitting with some random girl because I couldn't decide whether to sit with Micah or Stella.
Friendship sucks, I swear!
When I get out, Micah grabs my arm an I smile to know he's back. Stella sees me with him and sends me a betrayed look and I instantly feel bad.
I notice Micah has his eyes following Stella, she notices and marches up to Micah's popular friend, Callum.
Micah's eyes are still locked onto her and I nudge him but he stays still. Stella turns back one more time and then her mouth is pressed firmly against Callum, he seems to be enjoying it and places his hands around her neck.
I feel Micah's arm slither around my shoulder and I realise what this is about...
It's a jealousy fight!
Micah starts walking and Stella let's go of Callum. "I know you enjoyed that. You owe me big time! She wipes her mouth with her sleeve and smiles at me when she sees that Micah is gone.
Friendship double sucks!
*******
