Bad Girl Gone Good

Chapter 8

Mia was just reached her house. 'This is the longest walk home ever' Mia said to herself. Her whole aura just spoke out to her Mrs. Potters (Her maid). Mia sat down in the family room couch and suck her whole body into it. 

The couch was Light brown and just screamed comfortable. The cushions were so soft and fluffy you can sleep through a storm on them. "Mrs. Potters?" Mia said but Mrs.Potters was already by her side hugging her and rubbing her arm. 

She loved it when Mrs.Potters did that because she always felt like she truly mattered to her no matter how difficult Mia could be sometimes. "Yes dear?" Mrs.Potters said soft and sweet. 

"Am I a bad person? Do you like me? And don't say yes just because you are being paid to be here..." Mia looked down and started to tear up again.

"Of course not! Mia, I may work for your mother but I don't work for you. I do the things you ask me to do because you remind me so much of my daughter. I love her to death just like I love you to death Mia." some hairs stuck out of her bun.

"But why would anybody love me? I'm a spoiled rich girl and the people who I should be around won't even look my way unless it meant gossiping about me. I like having attention and having a lot of boys love me but I don't like people hating me when I really want them to like me." Mia started bawling into Mrs.Potters chest.

"It's okay Mia. Not everybody is going to like you. You are beautiful and smart. How much better can you get? They are jealous and you need to be stronger than that. I thought I taught you better." She pinched Mia's arm. 

She finally stopped crying and smiled a little bit. "What would I do without you?" she hugged Mrs.Potters and ran off to her room.

The sound of her phone ringing broke Mia out of her daydreams of her and Elliot at the park. She wondered if she answered his question would they still be friends or lovers. 

She looked at her phone screen and saw John's name. She reluctantly answered and said "Hey John. Are they done already?"

"Um...no I um...I have a bit of a problem." He sounded  His voice didn't sound so good. Mia could tell. "I have no way of getting the Id's...My bro couldn't come through for me. I'm sorry Mia. I really am but I can buy you and Tia alcohol if you'd like." 

Mia was disappointed "Fine I guess. But all you get is an invite to the party." Mia said. John sounded shocked "Wait party?"

Mia giggled and said "Since you couldn't pull through for me completely you don't get a kiss. Sorry John." he sighed and then she hung up. 

She texted Tia what was gonna happen and Tia was okay with it.

"I'm so bored!!!!" she yelled out to herself. Trying to fix this she turned on the tv and saw on the about a local community center.

Today we watch as these generous teens help out the community center. They arranged a day where they can provide the homeless with clothes and food. 

Here is one of the statements from one of the charity workers. "Um...we basically thought it would be nice of us to put all of our savings together and buy things that were necessary for people in need. We bought stuff to make soup and bread. We got old clothes and new clothes to help out as much as we could. For the most part I think it went pretty well." 

Mia rolled her eyes and said "Seriously I don't see the problem...just more mouths to feed when I'm here hungry..." She heard her stomach growl. "I hate charity more and more now." 

After she made these comments she realized that if these people could find it in their hearts to do this why couldn't she?

                                                                                         ~

Hey girl!" Tia said excitedly on the phone. "before you say anything listen to me. That hottie from Economics asked for your number! So I did what any best friend would do and i gave it to him!" 

Mia said nothing for a while "Hello? Mia you there?" Tia asked.

"Oh, um...yeah I'm here. I don't really like him like that. He's such a dumb jerk who only wants one thing." Mia yelled into the phone. 

"And it is our job to give guys that one thing! What are we here for anyways?" Tia said almost about to crack up. 

"Tia this isn't funny!" Mia yelled again. "Relax I'm joking!!! Girl you know me. Anyways he is good for your rep and will boost your votes for prom queen. He will definitely make that happen."

Mia sighed and said "Tia you know that I want nothing to do with prom queen. If I lose I will feel terrible but if I win I will also feel terrible. I just wanna spend our last night of being legit teens with my best friend and maybe an amazing guy I can be proud to call my boyfriend." She froze thinking of the guy she had in mind but knew it wasn't possible at least not after today. Again. 

                                                                                   ~

That night as Mia slept, she dreamt of herself and Elliot laying under the leaves and branches of a tall oak tree looking at the night sky. Well she was looking sort off while he was kissing her sweetly on her neck. 

Even in the moment in her dream she felt the reality of it all and just like that, he disappeared.
