Opening Up: Non-Fiction Stories about Give and Take, Volume 1

Chapter 2 "Real Friends Don't Share" by Josh R.

As I was sitting in my best friend Abby living room, I glared at all of the Halloween Candy around us . I saw lollipops,chips chocolate bars . Everything you can think of you'd get at Halloween . Abby and I were joking around, blasting music from our favorite band, Marianas Trench .  

''Testing testing, I'm just suggesting , you and I might just be the best thing'' Abby sang . We saw her dad's girlfriend pulling up in front of the house when the house was almost trashed . There was candy wrappers everywhere, food on the counter, music was blasting . It was a mess . We quickly started throwing candy into big pillow cases we used 

to put all of our candy in . My eye caught a very interesting looking chocolate beside her, I  

eyed it, As fast as I could , I crawled full speed over to her, took the chocolate and almost  

started to unwrap it as Abby screamed 

"HEY, That's my chocolate !!'' I sat there for a few seconds with a pouty look on my face with the chance of her maybe giving it to me . She took it and ran in the bathroom with it while I was cleaning all the wrappers up . Her dad's girlfriend got out of her white car and started walking up to the house, going through all of her keys she was trying to find the house key . I threw the wrappers of chips, chocolate, lollipops and candy wrappers that we have feasted on when we got back from school . Abby came running out of the washroom screaming  

"IS SHE HERE'' as I ran to the living room to turn down the pounding music of Marianas Trench . As soon as I did that her dad's girlfriend reached the door and stated unlocking the door. Abby and I, As fast as we can ran to her couch to turned on the TV, and try to act as casual as we could . Anna (Her dad's girlfriend) came in and shouted  

''Hello Ladies, How was your day'?'  

Abby and I said very casually "It was good'', as we both looked at eachother trying to hold in our laughs . We gave eachother 'The Look' meaning let's go upstairs . We both ran upstairs to her room . As I was up there I saw a very eye catching thing in her hand . I questioned what it was, and she showed me the chocolate that I have wanted . She slowly reached out her hand, holding the chocolate offering me the half eaten chocolate that she ate in the washroom . I looked at her with a disgusted look on my face saying  

"Are you serious? You ate that in the washroom!"  

Abby looked at me and said "Take it or leave it?!" But before I could even take it , she threw it in her mouth and ate it . I looked at her in shock, not believing she actually did that . I stood there for a few minutes in shock . I never did get that chocolate . I will never forget of how selfish she was on that day <\/3.
