Life As Melanie

Chapter 47

*on our way to McDonald's*

Me & Naomi: *gets hype* You ain't my equal, we ain't people and I ain't one of you! Ayyyyeee!

*we both laugh*

Naomi: You're a fool Melanie!

Me: You already know!

Naomi: You wanna just chill here & eat?

Me: That's fine with me.

*we park & walk into McDonald's*

Cashier: *rolls eyes* How may I help you?

Me: You can help us by fixing that nasty ass attitude!

Naomi: Right, you must mad or something? Ain't nobody beg you to work here!

Cashier: *smiles* How may I help you?

Me: Now that's more like it!

*we order & sit down*

Naomi: Have you been seeing Misty lately?

Me: *looks confused* Not really, where did that come from?

Naomi: Oh, I just asked because here she comes right now. *points at the glass*

Me: Oh boy!

*Misty sees us & walk over*

Misty: Hey Mel

Me: *rolls eyes* You lost your privilege to call me that.

Naomi: Is it something that you need Misty?

Misty: I just wanted to talk to Melanie.

Me: What is it that we need to talk about? How you betrayed me? Oh wait, here's a good one! Better yet let's talk about how you tried to basically take my spot!

Misty: Melanie I'm sorry!

Me: Save it! I'm used to people like you & I don't have time for your pity party you got going on. I have my own problems to deal with right now.

Misty: I'm sorry about what happened with Jamal. I hope he gets well & I hope you feel better. *tries to hug me*

Me: *gives her the cold shoulder* Yeah thanks!

*Misty walks away*

Naomi: I can't deal with her!

Me: *smacks teeth* It's whatever!

Naomi: I'm gonna run to the bathroom really quick.

Me: Alright

*gets up to get our food*

*walking back to the table*

*looks down at my seat* What's this? *reads evelope* To: Melanie From: Misty, P.S. Please read this Melanie, please!

I would be lying if I said I didn't have a soft spot for Misty. It's hard letting go of somebody when you two have built something you have with nobody else. I've never had a real sister I could share things with & I thought Misty was the one I could put my trust into, but I guess I was wrong about that.

*puts letter into purse*

Naomi: *sits down* What's wrong?

Me: Oh nothing, let's eat.

Naomi: You don't have to tell me twice!

*we finish eating & make our way back to school*
