Honey, I'm Good

Angie

"Anna, I'm home!" I yelled as she ran down the stairs.

Annabelle was my older sister who cared for me ever since my dad killed himself.

She was so chill, it was like having an extra cool mom.

"What's u- woah what happened to you?"

I didn't even realize that I was still clutching my stomach.

How does my stomach still hurt?

Luna can kick like a beast.

"Uh, I got into a fight."

"And lost."

I nodded, laughing. Which just made my stomach hurt even more, so I stopped.

"Go lay down, and tell me the bitch that hurt my sister."

"It was a new girl."

She widened her eyes.

"Seriously? You let a newbie beat you up?"

I nodded.

"I'll go get some ice, while you sit here and think about why the fuck you would let her kick you."

"Okay."

But she had a point.

Why didn't I get up?

Why didn't I fight back?

It's like I wanted her to fight me.

But that's stupid.

But...true.

I acted like a total bitch on the bus, so I probably deserved what I got in return.

"Here's the ice. Want me to call Sahara?"

"Yeah, sure."

---

"You feel any better?" Sahara asked.

I groaned.

"Take that as a...maybe?"

I nodded.

She still had a messy bun, but she put on a hoodie and jeans to get comfortable.

"I bet you hate that bitch still."

I shook my head.

"But, she beat you up."

"I know. But we talked. We're kind of friends now."

"Hmm. But are you sure you're okay?"

I smiled.

"I'm good, Sahara."

"Okay. What about Faye?"

"I think she hates both me and the new girl now. She was in detention with us."

"Good. She always gets away with everything."

"I know right?"

"Wait, you were in detention?"

Oops.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I had no time."

"And who's 'us'?"

"Me and the new girl."

Sahara's face turned red.

"Woah, are you okay?"

"I have to go."

"What? Wait!" Dang it.

I just sat there.

Why did she just get all mad when I mentioned Luna?

Is she...jealous?

That's crazy.

"Why did Sahara rush out of here so fast?" Annabelle said when she walked into my room.

I shrugged.

"Weird. Get some sleep."

"Okay. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Sleep well."
