A Broken Heart...Healed? [The Sequel]

Still Together

*4 Years Later*

"Look, all I'm saying is that we are finally seniors & they shouldn't be giving us all this homework. Ugh...I can't wait to come back in a year & rub into these teacher's faces, "I'm in college & making more money than u bitches!😝", Erika states complaining about the amount of homework they're giving us seniors. I mean I'm not complaining, it's the second month of school, they shouldn't be doing this to us.....those jerks!😒

"Erika, you're 17 years old, I'm 17 years old. Let's start acting like grown-ups. I mean, we are graduating this year. Anyways, we promised the others, that we'd go shopping right after school.", I said closing my locker.
"Just 2 more periods Erika. Think u can make it?", I asked sarcastically.
"Ha ha, very funny bitch. See u last period.", she says leaving going to gym.
I head to technology.

(Skip to the end of the day)

"Is Kevin, Lexi, Daniel, & Devin still on tour?", Renee asks.
"Yeah, but they're coming back tonight with Momma Shana & Allstar. That's why, Shari & Mariah suggested that we go shopping to give them a welcome back present." , I responded opening the door open of the school so that we can head outside.
"I know what you're gonna give Daniel for "welcome back" present.😏", Renee states grinning.
"What?! What did I do?😏", I said.
"I still can't believe that u managed to keep your straight A's AND sleep with him. It's a miracle, some people would've already turned full slut.", she states as we both get into my car & wait for Jakeline & Erika.
"See I'm already tomboy/goth, down-to-Earth type of girl. Nothing affects me.", I said.
"Does your brother & sister know?", she asks.
"Well my sis suspects. My brother doesn't know though. But we're using condoms & I'm on birth-control. Trust me, I don't wanna get pregnant before finishing college.", I state.
"Well, at least u found your bae 4 years ago. I've dated only fuckboys & none of them were loyal.🙄"
"Awe...don't worry. We'll find u a boo one day."

The car door opens & Erika & Jakeline come in.
"We're here bitches. Let's head to the mall. I need to find Devin a fancy watch. Our anniversary is today. I need to look more goddess than I do now.", Erika says.
"Calm your ass. Melody, aren't Shari & Mariah meeting us at the mall?", Jakeline asks.
"Um...we're meeting them at Kev's house. They're going in a separate car.", I responded.

We fastened our seat belts & head to Kev's house.

We chatted with Shari & Mariah & then we all finally left to the mall.

As we arrived at the mall, Renee, Shari, & Jakeline go their separate ways & me, Erika, & Mariah head our way.
We all agreed to meet at the mall's food court in an hour.

(30 minutes Later)

"Which watch do u think Devin will like? This gold & silver one or this rose-gold & silver one?", Erika asked Mariah holding up two watches that look almost the same.
"Um...he's a guy so I'm guessing not the one that has Rose-gold painted on it?😂", she responds with.
"Oh....ha ha, I guess you're right.😅", Erika says.

I walk around the store seeing all these fancy jewelry costing about $800 & above & just thinking, "Some people are so stupid!".
Like, it's a necklace with a ring hanging from it, & it costs about $300.
I could buy one from a thrift store that looks just the same for about 5 bucks.

"Melody? Aren't u gonna buy anything for Daniel?", Erika asks holding the bought watch in a mini bag.
"From this rip-off rich store, no thanks.", I say.
"Ok....let's go. Maybe you'll find something in another store." Mariah says as we head out.

(Skip to the Food Court)

We all met at the mall food court.
"Damn! What did u guys not buy?!", Shari, Renee, & Jakeline all say at once.
We all walked in with our hands filled with bags.
I even have a little one in my mouth.
