Lonley Flower (The Mark Side)

Chapter 6

Throughout the whole movie, Lilly stayed quiet, and only spoke or made a noise when she had to go to the bathroom or laughed. The only time she and the girls laughed was when Mark, with a goofy disguise came in to interrupt Benjamin at the movie. To their surprise Mark didn't get kicked out.

After the movie, Frances walked home with Ashley, since earlier her mother told her that she would be at work while the movie was going on, making Lilly and Iris where the only ones at the theater. "So Iris," Lilly started, "you wanted to tell me about something?"

Iris smiled and nodded, "Right." She replied. Iris started walking, and Lilly looked at her weirdly. "Come on, I can't talk to you if you can't follow me." She said.

"Oh okay." Lilly replied as she followed Iris. Iris decided to take her into a shopping district so they could hold their conversation. "Um Iris, why are we here?" She asked.

"To hold our conversation, flower friend." Iris said with a smirk.

Lilly was confused. "Flower friend?" She asked.

"Right, your name is Lilly, and my name is Iris, both of which are flowers, so it makes sense why I would call you that." Iris explained.

Lilly gave a nervous smile not sure what to say to that. "So, Iris what do you want to talk about?" She asked to get away from the response Iris said earlier.

"Its about Frances and Ashley." Iris replied.

Lilly froze in fear when she heard Frances's name. She had a slight fear in her mind, that maybe Frances wasn't a nice person, or maybe she was like Ashley in a way. Iris saw through her emotion, and sighed.

"No, Frances isn't a bad person, and so is Ashley. Both girls are nice." Iris explained.

"They are?" Lilly stuttered. Iris nodded.

"Yes." She replied. "Actually I was nervous being friend with Ashley too when we first met."

"Really?"

"Really." Iris replied. "When I met Ashley, she was new at the middle school, Frances and I attended, and let's just say Ashley was different then us."

"How?" Lilly asked.

Iris chuckled. "You see Ashley and her family are rich, and well she didn't go to private school for middle school and now, so yeah technically she went to our school." She explained. "But, I wasn't go to be her friend because well, I always see rich people has stuck ups." She sighed remembering that day, "but Frances gave her a chance."

"Why did she?" Lilly asked.

"That's how Frances is." Iris explained. "Well she basically talked to her and had half the classes she had, and boom best friends."

Lilly smiled hearing the story about Ashley. "I'm guessing you and Frances knew each other for a while." She said.

Iris nodded. "Yep, we met in elementary school," Iris frowned remembering how she met Frances, "Frances was alone during elementary school, she had no friends, and many people didn't like her." As Iris explained, the two made it to the park where a group of kids were playing soccer. "This is where Frances and I started our friendship."

Lilly looked at the park where the kids were playing, and looked at Iris. "Frances was like me, before I met her. I was alone at my old school for the past couple of years, and when I met Frances, she," She stopped as her face turned red, starting to blush. "She made me feel like I've been her friend for a while."

"Same with me actually, before me and her were friends, Frances would watch me everyday play soccer here, I felt annoyed because she didn't say or do anything, though once I talked to her she was nice." Iris explained.

Lilly smiled and started to blush hearing more about Frances. "Iris, do you think I should give Ashley a chance as well?" She asked.

Iris smiled and looked at her new friend, "that depends on you, Lilly." Lilly nodded, and the two walked too Lilly's house, so Iris can drop her off.

"I'll see you on Monday!" Iris called out.

"See you as well, bye!" Lilly said going inside the house.
