Chapter 6: That's My Best Friend

Adaline's POV:
I woke up at 6 am the next morning and took a shower. The water sprayed down my hair and traveled down my back. I relaxed my muscles, and started washing my hair. Once I finished showering, I stepped into my room with nothing but a towel on when the door to my room barged open. I screamed and glared at the culprit. It was Marie, my best friend from Chicago. "Hey girl hey!" She said, strutting into the room. I gaped at the blonde girl in front of me. "Marie? What are you doing here? I thought you were going to visit us in 2 weeks." I asked, shocked. "My mom thought I was doing so well in school, that she decided to let me come here earlier than expected. So, here I am." She said, nonchalantly. I squealed,"Yay! I'm so happy you're here. So much has happened since you left." I said, hugging her tightly. She let out a breath. "CAN'T. BREATH. LET. GO." I immediately let go of her. "Oh sorry." I said. Then I realized I was still in a towel. I blushed and clung onto the towel. "Um, Marie, can you wait outside for a bit?" I said, gazing at the door. "Hmm?" She asked, confusedly. "Oh, um sure." She said, as she got the hint. I grabbed a turquoise dress from my closet and paired it with my some blue sandals I found. Then I put on some gold eyeshadow and pink lipstick to finish off the look.

I opened the door and hopped down the stairs to see Marie talking to my mom. "Hey Marie!" I said, grabbing a plate of bacon and eggs. "Sup Lily! Damn girl, what happened? You tryna impress a guy?" She said, smirking at me. I blushed, shaking my head. "As I said, a LOT, has changed from when you were last here." I said. "Oh, you were serious." She said, frowning. She played with her food. "Well, we'll talk about this at school." She said, not looking up from her plate of food. I frowned. Was she mad at me? I don't think I did anything wrong...did I? I shook my head and ate my breakfast.

I grabbed my backpack and headed out, closing the front door. Marie had already gone off to school in her car so I had to drive in my own car. I started the engine and drove onto the road. I parked my car in my usual spot and got out. My jaw hit the floor as I looked at what was in front of me. It was Marie...flirting with Jack. She was curling her hair with her finger, whilst chewing gum. I could see her fake eyelashes blinking rapidly at Jack with a pout on her face. I scoffed. If she thought that was cute, I was God. I looked at Jack, who looked bored out of his mind, tapping away at his phone screen, not even listening to a word Marie said through her gum-filled mouth. Now, I know what you're thinking. Marie is horrible and why would she do that to me? Well, truth is....I don't know. She never did this to me before so, I don't know what made her decide to do this. I looked back at them one more time before walking past them and into the school, "accidentally" bumping into her shoulder. She fell on top of Jack and squealed. I looked at them from the corner of my eye and snorted, watching as Jack tried to shove her away from him. I sighed as I walked into the silent hallway. I opened my locker and grabbed my books, heading to first period. I shut my locker and screamed. Jack was standing there, staring at me with a blank expression on my face. I sighed in relief, then rolled my eyes, realizing it was only Jack. I crossed my arms and glared at him. "What do you want?" I said, angrily. "Do you know that new chick? What's her name....Melanie?" He said. I rolled my eyes. "Her name's Marie, for your information." I said, angrily. "Woah!" He said, raising his hands up in surrender. "What's got your panties in a twist?" He said, smirking. I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my smile. "Shut up!" I said, playfully slapping his arm. "Ow!" He groaned. "That really hurt you know." He said, pouting. "Yeah, your ego." I said, laughing. "Hey!" He said, pouting. "That's not very nice." He said, fake sniffling. "I thought you were a bad boy. Turns out you're a wimp." I said, smirking. His face turned blank and his smile a thin line across his face. "I—uh, gotta go." He said, pointing his thumb behind him and left. I looked behind him. Standing there was Marie. I watched as he walked towards her, Marie giggling loud enough for everyone to hear. I rolled my eyes and headed to class.
