The Friends We Used To Be

Whore.

   Emily didn't speak to Maci for the rest of the day; Maci attempted but got no response. We had to go to the gym, once again, because it was ""too cold"". Me and Emily sat down with Alec, and he we acting weird. I guess he thought that she didn' know him and Mac were dating. He distanced himself from us and sat a few feet away. 

   Em looked at him and I looked at her, "It'll be aight." We talked for a few minutes about school and 'friends'. We always talked about things that didn't really matter, such as school. We talked about things that happened a while ago. 

   I could tell that Em was even more upset than she was yesterday when I told her about Alec and Maci. "Emilyy. What's wrong?" I asked. Normally, if she was mad at one person, she was mad at just about everyone. She looked at me and then she looked over a Alec. Of course, I already knew that. 

  "Me and Mom talked last night. I told her that Maci and Alec were dating and that I still liked Alec." I nodded because I knew that too. "She told me that if she was a true friend she wouldn't and shouldn't even like him." I didn't really respond much to that. I agreed with her mom some and I thought that she should let Maci be happy. But I leaned more to what her mom said. Em sighed and I knew today wouldn't be a good day; any day with Alec and Maci together in front of her wouldn't be a good day. 

   We walked over to where Maci and Alec were and Maci pulled Emily aside. I followed them over to where they went and just sorta listened to what Mac said. "Em, do you remember when you promised to never stop being my friend?" Emily nodded and Maci kept talking, "Well. Last night I was watching tv and a Nutella commercial came on and it reminded me of something I did." 

   I could feel the confused look on my face as Emily said, "What'd it remind you of? What'd you do?" Maci shrugged and looked at the ground and then looked back up at us. Em crossed her arms and waited for an answer from her.

   "Well. One day when you were supposed to be coming to my house for church and didn't, Andrew and Preston came over and I was eating Nutella. " "Yeah so? What's your point?" Em shrugged. I don't know what was about to come out of Maci's mouth, but she'd best hope its not something that's gonna piss Em off even more. "Okay. So I was eating Nutella and I dropped it on my chest. And Andrew got most of it off with a cracker and I let Preston lick off what was left " Emily shrugged, "So what?" Mac sighed and I looked at her and then back at Emily, "I let him lick it off my boob. Its when y'all was together." Emily stared at her and then just walked away from the small circle. "I knew she'd be mad " "Uhm. Yeah. I would be too if my "bestfriend" let my boyfriend at the time lick something off of my unmentionables. You're crazy to think she wouldn't be mad."

----Preston, Emily, Maci,& Nutella---- Preston and Emily started dating in early November. Maci didn't have a crush on him until they started dating. Sometimes Emily would say she didn't like her liking him. While they were dating, Maci allowed Preston to lick Nutella off of her and didn't tell Emily until February. Emily became very frustrated and upset. They didn't talk for several days and Emily told me secrets about Maci that she didn't want anyone knowing and Maci told me secrets about Emily, all because of a Nutella incident. ----

   Me and Emily were walking from the gym one morning to go to the bathroom. Maci stayed with Alec, there's no telling what they were doing or talking about. Em was still mad at Maci for dating Alec and waiting several months to tell her about something she did with the guy Emily was dating at the time. "Ooh she's such a whore. First she screwed up Jordan and Andrew's relationship. Then she fucked with mine and Preston's and waited 2 months to tell me about it. And now. She's dating Alec?"  I just kept listening to her as she talked, "Yah know. Maybe Mom was right. Maybe she isn't a true friend and maybe she is the whore. Mom always told me she was."
