Chapter Five

 "Your bracelet is amaze!" Ally says using some cute girly slang and ogling my silver chain bracelet that says: Fly Free on the front with a cute little bird dangling off the front. "Thanks!" I reply smiling. Sammie smoothes out her dark wash boot cut jeans and stares at the guy working at Starbucks. We were all sitting around a food court table at the mall drinking low-fat Banana-Rama smoothies, just like Sammie had promised me. She had also promised me a new wardrobe, what I got was a black sequin tank top by someone called Michael Kors, a grey sweater with a little flower on the boob, a red mini skirt with purple leggings and a pair of suede black boots, all bought by Sammie Hills. Today she was wearing a blue tank top and nice jeans with her hair pulled back into a braid. She looked like an angel, literately.

Suddenly Sammie's eyes moved away from the worker and to the table across the food court. Kalyn, Ashley and Geneva, and accompanied by...Nikki Leigh. "Oh my gawd!" Lauren laughed when she saw Nikki in her grey yoga capris and blue tank top. "Look what the cat dragged in" Sammie said twirling her hair, then she looked at me "Oh sorry, not sure if you like Nikki...but you have NO idea what she did to me!" Actually I do, I was tempted to say, the whole school knows what she did...Your Sammie Hills and word travels fast. "Oh..." I whispered, Sammie smiled but it didn't seem real...more like a forced smile, like she didn't wanna be here anymore. "It's not just about the Ben thing..." Savannah muttered. "Yeah there's more..." Lauren finishes. "Shut up you guys!" Sammie snaps as she pulls back in her chair. Savannah turns her head down and whispers "Nikki's just mean".  

A memory flashed back to me, but it was more just a flashback of one of the biggest split-ups at Karman. I remembered an 11-year-old Sammie whose hair was almost a whitish blonde back then and a dirty blonde haired Nikki who was so much different. She wore tee shirts that supported health care foundations and sweats that were 10 times to big. It was that summer when Nikki got "busty"...but her boobs weren't the only thing that changed...she dyed her hair bleach blonde and started wearing dark eyeliner. A 12-year-old Nikki Leigh suddenly became so...fake. I also reminded myself about that strange rumor. The one that tore Sammie apart. The Ben Rumor. It was also heard that Sammie had totally flipped on her, calling Nikki "fake" every time she saw her in the halls and I also remember Nikki totally snapping on Sammie but I didn't know what the fight was about.

"Jordan," Sammie says waving her hand in my face trying to get my attention "Hello?" I stare blankly at Sammie. "C'mon we should get back to my place" Ally said tapping Sammie on the shoulder "Your coming right Jordan?" I nodded and grabbed my smoothie.
