Mary- Lou's POV
I snuggled into the couch and stuck my pendrive into my laptop. It contained my secret collection of the 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' series . My mother forbade me from watching any tv show where adults are the main characters. "Susan! Come on! I am starting." "Noooo ,wait!" Susan ran into the room. I sighed. she would have been beautiful except for her straggly hair that was always in two dull high ponytails, her conspicuous dark circles, her unfit figure and her lifeless pale blue eyes.
I played the episode 'The one with all the thanksgivings'. Susan and I had our eyes glued to the screen. In the episode, Monica all fat has a huge crush on Chandler when they met on thanksgiving. She overheard Chandler calling her fat and makes up her mind to lose weight. The next thanksgiving, Monica turns up all slim and sexy in a tight outfit.
Just as Susan and I reached that part, Susan slammed the laptop shut and gripped my hand tightly and hid the laptop behind the cushion before she faced me with wide eyes. "What's wrong? Did you see mum?. She nodded nervously. Then her eyes widened even further. "Oh my god! I had the most brilliant IDEA!" I raised my eyebrows"Mary-Lou don't you get it!" she screamed enraged. I stared at her bemused. " We could do what Monica did!" She squealed, my face lit up. "Monica's inspiration was Chandler and ours could be to get out of this hellhole", She said. "Wait a minute" I reached into my pocket and pulled out a poster
She quickly scanned the piece of paper and a wide grin spread over her face. "Be there or be square, debate on September 12th –'Do you support death penalty?' , Cash prize of $1 million and scholarship to leading school 'Evara Highschool. Judged by Jonathan Clark, Samantha Collins & Jaskirat Singh". Susan grinned "This is gr.." "Hello dears" Our mother interrupted as she entered the room.
"Hey Mum, my beautiful, smart, successful mother, can we go for a debate tomorrow" Susan said immediately. I stifled a gag. That my friends is called sucking up. "Oh sweetie, I don't think so, we are meeting the O'Malley's for lunch tomorrow" We both gave her our best puppy eyes. "Oh well, I'll think of some excuse" she smiled. We both jumped up and squealed. She laughed "Oh you girls are too much". I almost rolled my eyes. You just ticked a box for our plans out of here. SUCKER. Then she picked up the cushion, probably to dust it.
My mouth opened in silent protest as mum saw the laptop. Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion. I sneake a glance at susan who was biting her lip. Mum opened the laptop. Her eyes hardened at the sight of Monica shaking her boobs. We must not have paused it. Damn it. "What is this NONSENSE". We both looked at our feet. "Since you are SO excited about this debate you can't go". I felt the life deflating out of me. "You are grounded for a month".
A plethora of beeps interrupted the deadly silence. Mum looked at her beeper and sighed. "The hospital needs me, I'll deal with you later". SHe walked out. Just before she shut the door she said "I don't know what is up with you girls, but I don't like it one bit. I want you to stop whatever is going on". A raging fire filled me. "Well learn it life's way, you can't always get what you want". Susan gasps. "You've never talked back to me before" mum says shocked. "There's a first time for everything". Mum set her jaw and slammed the door shut. "Now we are stuck here forEVER" Susan grumbles. I laughed" Oh no we are not". I smiled "Sorry Mum".
