'Relive'

Chapter 7 - Part 2

 

(chapter 7 - part 2)

              Is this reality? Is this happening? I’m not dreaming or anything? I couldn’t believe my eyes, she has the courage to walk in here! It’s like the movies. No joke, it’s like it was literally written and directed for one of those cheesy teen romantic-comedy movies. Girl A talks shit about Girl B, Girl B walks in place of work of Girl A leaving Girl A angry and wanting to smack the living shit out of Girl B. I mean she has the decency to waltz in her, acting all happy and like nothing had happened. ‘’AAAA! LENA!’’ Desiree shouted and jumped,’’ what are you doing here? I Haven’t seen you since like that day at your doctors appointment!’’ she finished. Yeah the day you decided to turn Cruela de Vil.

                I forcefully smiled, ‘’Oh, I moved here with Cher. I’m working’’ I said to her trying to keep as calm as possible, ‘’And you, what brings you here?’’ probably planning how to ruin my life here too.

                She popped her bubble gum and ran her hand through her flawless hair, ‘’Oh nothing, I’m here with my man.’’ she said. Her man? I’m so sorry for him. He has no idea what’s in for him. I don’t want to sound bitchy, but come on, who would do that to a friend. ‘’Here he comes. Darling!’’ she said as she waved to her man.

‘’Jonah?’’ what the hell!? Is this really or a dream? He was in my bed an hour ago! What? Is he freaking blind or what? He came last night to my house crying his heart out in the middle of the night, is he for really? Jonah? I must be dreaming. Really, Jonah? That manipulative bitch!

As he walked towards us, his faced turned white, paper white, ‘’Isn’t that ironic!’’ she said as she kissed him on his check, ‘’who knew that we were soul mates, match made in heaven.’’ She said and she looked at me with a face of a winner. She sure is proud of herself to have gotten what she wanted, ‘’Oh honey! I hope this is not awkward for you?’’ Desiree said as she rested her hand on my shoulder, ‘’We all knew you two were never going to work out. It was just a distraction until Jonah here realised what he really wanted. Me of course, don’t worry you’ll find yours’’ Bitchy much, saying those words. And Jonah, what does he have to say for that? Nothing, he’s too busy being her little bitch.

‘’Yeah.’’ I said to her as I continued to serve the customers. I wasn’t planning to chit chat with her and brush each other’s hair and gossip all night long.

Desiree walked behind and continued to talk. She sat on the stool next to the counter, ‘’Hey I have an idea, honey why don’t you set Lena here with one of your mates for a double date tonight? They’d be lucky to go out with an average girl like Lena, don’t you think?’’ she said. Woah! We’re on a roll here. Words cutting like swords. Me, average? Ask Jonah about it, I’m sure he’ll be happy to explain where he was last night. Man, I want to break her pretty face of hers.

‘’I’m sure Lena has better things to do.’’ Jonah said as he looked at me.

‘’I do actually, I have a date.’’ I replied. I wasn’t going to let her humiliate me in front of Jonah.

‘’A date?’’ Jonah jealously asked. It hurts doesn’t it? ‘’what’s his named?’’ he asked again.
