Behind the Looking Glass

The Third Wheel

Yesterday Scarlett and Addie had some secret get together. How do I know? Only because Addie brought it up a million times in front of my face. Honestly, I just wanted to walk away. If they weren't going to include in their conversation, then why should I even talk to them. Never the less I stayed and listened in on all the "awesome" stuff they did together. I never really talked about myself unless I was complaining or sharing something awesome that was going on. But for Scar and Addie, that was a different case.

"The tops we got yesterday were AMAZEing!" Addie gushed. I shrugged. "I looked so hot in mine. And Scarlett totally stayed."

"Yeah," Scar agreed. "I loved those new sunglasses too! We looked totally hipster."

"We got The latest Hollister sun glasses!" Addie looked at me as if she wanted me to giggle and gush and tell her how awesome I thought it was. Good luck with that one sister!

"Now we all have matching sunglasses!" I grinned completely ignoring her tone. Scar giggled.

"I guess we do."

"Too bad you don't have a top to match your sunglasses like we do!" Addie ever so generously reminded me. Sometime I can't tell if that girl is trying to get on my nerves.

"Hey, were best friends not triplets!" I said back. "Plus, I enjoy defying the crowd." Lies, lies, and more lies. We were just like triplets and I always followed the crowd. Unlike Addie and Scarlett I never had my "own" style. I guess that's why Scar and Addie left me out. I never tried to become the third wheel. I guess I'm just more socially awkward then they are. They can come up with jokes and ideas on the spot when they are surrounded with people. I just freeze up and say stupid things.

We ended the conversation and went to class. I sort of but not fully on purpose ignored the the entire day. But at the end of the day, they came barreling towards me. And of course, Addie had to spill the beans.

"Scar and I are going to Starbucks, want to come with?" She asked politely. Really? Did she really just say that? Of course I wanted to come! It I knew what was going to happen, and I didn't want to experience that again.

"Actually I'm going out with some other girls later," I completely lied on the spot. "We met yesterday at the mall. They're from a different school but they're super cool. But thanks for the offer!" Scar looked a little disappointed. Was it a bad move on my terms? Probably. And I know that now I don't have a reason to complain about them leaving me out anymore, but honestly I just need to be alone. Maybe I can actually find some new "friends" called Netflix and YouTube. 

Yay for lonely me.

So I finally made a new part! I know, sorry for the late update but don't worry I will try to be more active in the future! What do you think about Mackenzie being the third wheel? Do you Him, Scarlett and Addie are levaing her out on purpose?
