"Ok Serena spill." one of the girls starring at me said.
All us girls were sitting around a table at the mall. The boys went off to get us food.
"What is there to spill?" I sat with my back straight and my shoulders tense. I never like talking about my personal life.
"How about your boyfriend." Now I can tell who said it. It is a brown haired girl named May.
"Well his dad had to go away a year ago so we decided we would still try to date but after a couple months we kinda stopped talking. Now he is back." I tried to keep it as vague as possible.
The girls leaned back into their seats to process what they heard. Probably trying to fill in the blanks.
9 months ago
(this is in a text message by the way)
Calem: Hey babe
Serena: Hey what's up
Calem: Nothing just waiting for you to come over.
Serena: What do you mean?
Calem: Wait. Serena!
Serena: Calem who are you waiting for and calling babe.
Calem: I thought sense we don't talk anymore we were over. I moved on.

"Ashy is bringing it." Gary moved his arm around her which got him an elbow to his rib.
"Where is he?" I looked around for him.
"Ok probably way back there." Gary removed his arm. I stood up and started to walk the way the guys came from. "Where is she going?" I heard Gary say from behind me.
As I walked I took this time to just think to myself. What am I going to do now that Calem is back?
"Serena?" I looked up to see Ash struggling with three large pizza boxes.
"Here let me help you." I rush over and grab a box of pizza allowing him to see where he is going now.
"Thanks."
"Why did they run off without you?" I could feel the grease soaking through the box.
"Gary challenged them to a race and apparently they don't turn down a challenge." I looked over and saw Ash was looking down at the pizza instead or looking ahead.
"Well at least I found you before you lost our food." I got a little laugh from that.
