Adi & Mikey

Chapter 2

It was a Friday, my brother had just left for work and my father worked in his gym late tonight. So, I decided to do what any normal, rule breaking teenager would do, have a few friends over. I don't have much friends, like real friends that are there when you need them, defend you behind your back, stick by your side through thick and thin, and don't talk shit behind your back, even on the worst days. I have 2 of those types of friends. The first one is Leilani Julia Jacobs (Lay-lah-nee Jewl-ee-uh Jay-cobs), 16 years old, junior, short, light brown hair, crystal blue eyes, the groups 'sweetheart'. The child sent from hell is Noelia Amanda Rodriguez (No-eh-lee-uh Uh-man-dah Rod-ree-gez), 17, senior, tallish, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, the groups 'no filter' girl. I'm the perfect height between Noelia and Leilani, and I'm the groups 'Bad girl'. I guess our group has two bad girls with no filter. Leilani just fits in with us, she's our anchor, the one that encourages us to do better and keeps us from literally killing people. When me or Noelia get angry, there's no turning back. The only one that could calm us down is Leilani, because if one's pissed off, so is the other. Poor Leilani, so innocent and sweet, yet has to deal with the baddest kids in town. She says we give her an adventure though, so it's worth it. God help anyone that messes with Leilani, we'd kill them.

My doorbell rings and I run out of my room and slide down the railings of the stairs and jump in front of my door. I unlock the door and Leilani swings it open and hugs me. We all end up in a little group hug, jumping around and squealing like little cheerleaders. They are the only people that I don't have to act like a bitch to, so we all act very childish together when alone, but in public, we're very mature and intimidating. Leilani shuts and locks the door behind us as we wonder into my kitchen, which is through a large doorway by my stairs. The girls sit in the counter islands at the center of my kitchen as I walk up to the fridge, which is at the end of the room towards the stairs. Leilani glides her hand above the dark marble counter top as she sets down her purse and phone. "I am still so in love with your countertops!" Noelia rolls her eyes jokingly and reaches for my phone at the edge of the island and logs me out of every social media I have. "Still grounded?" I ask with a plain voice while scavenging in my fridge for some Soda. "Sadly, those assholes don't understand the true beauty of art. Can't do anything nice in this world, try to bless the civilians with a little painting in the alley, and they call it 'vandalism'. So ungrateful, this town. I swear." I giggle as Leilani is the one jokingly rolling her eyes. I pull out half a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi as I back away from the fridge and to the island. I place the Soda on the counter and whip out 3 glass cups from my cabinet. "Soda?" The girls nod their heads as their eyes are glued onto their electronics. I pour full cups of soda and scoot them towards my best friends. Noelia chugs half of it down without putting down my phone.

The doorbell rings and we all shriek. "PIZZA!" we all say as we run to the front door. The girls watch from a distance as I put on my serious face and open the front door. "What do you want?!" I yell. The tall, scrawny, boney, pimple filled, curly haired, boy takes a step back from the doorway. He stutters "U-Um I-I have a p-pizza delivery..." I raise an eyebrow at him and glare at him. He looks down at the floor and then up at me and down at the floor again. He pulls 2 hot pizza boxes out of the box-shaped bag he carries in his hands. I snatch the boxes and stare at him. "What are you still doing here?" I give attitude as I arch my eyebrows. He sighs and turns around. I slam my door. Noelia giggles as Leilani sighs. "And that my friends, is how you get free pizza!" I exclaim as we all make our way to the kitchen. I spread out the boxes as Noelia hovers over me like a Hawk does its prey. I rip out a cheesy slice of Pepperoni pizza and hand it to Noelia and she hops up and down and shoves the food into her mouth. I turn to hand one to Leilani only to find she isn't by my side. I turn a full circle but don't see her. The pizza slice gets returned into the box and I walk to the front door. I see it's open and she's handing the scared boy all the money Mikey left. I cross my arms and waits for her to return inside. She locks the door behind her and she smiles at me. "The pizza was $17 Leilani, it was a special, 2 for $17 with 1 topping. Why the hell did you give him $25!?" She rolled her eyes as she walked passed me into the kitchen, grabbing a slice and taking a small bite. "You scared the crap out of him Adi, plus you never pay him when he's the delivery guy. I think he deserved all the money." I scoff as I rip apart a slice of pizza. "See that right there, is going to be why people take advantage of you Leilani, you gotta learn how to be bad sometimes." Noelia mumbles as she swallows her pizza. Leilani shrugs "I like being nice, you can't find a lot of nice people in the world. Gotta preserve the few we have left, not turn them into you two." I stop mid-bite and quickly turn towards her raising my eyebrows. "No offense." She giggles and Noelia shrugs her shoulder and I shake my head, finishing my pizza. "Being mean gets you what you want and people respect you." Says Noelia. "No Noelia, people FEAR you." Leilani replies quickly.
"Same shit." I say before I chug down my soda. We all laugh and finish up our pie of the pizza. We saved the other one for my brother and father.
