The Friends We Used To Be

Issues

   That Thursday I stayed over at Maci's. I never had to ask to spend the night because my mom and her mom were really good friends. I've stayed over at her more than I could possibly count. My mom thought Maci was a really great kid but thought she need to take her ADHD medicine more often. I asked Maci about something that Emily had told me. (note: its personal and I'm not saying what it was)  "That did not happen! She lied. "That is not what I told her. We kissed a few times maybe 2 times.. maybe 10. That's all." I laughed at her exaggeration and she did too. She told me about what Emily told me she did on Christmas weekend. And then Maci started telling me stuff about Em that I didn't ask about. "I was looking through Preston's pictures with Andrew the other day." She shook her head and made a face. I looked at her, "Told yah so." I already knew what she meant she saw when she made that face. She didn't even have to say. "She's sent things like that to several guys on Kik." I nodded. I didn't really care what she sent the people she talked to, it wasn't my business. Maci just kept rumbling on about how pissed off at Emily she was for telling me a secret and lying about what she said happened. ~~~~

  The next morning me and Maci and all of her siblings stood outside and waited for the bus to come by. When it finally came by me and Maci sat behind Andrew and in front of his little brother. We all talked about random stuff and goofed off. Maci, of course, was flirting with Andrew, as always. A few minutes before the bus got to the school Maci looked at me and said, "You remember what i said about her sendin' them pics to guys on Kik?" "Yup. Why, what about'em?"   "Well. We was talkin' to this one guy and he said he was a background dancer for Justin Bieber and he said that he could get us free tickets. He said that to get the tickets, one of us had to send a picture. And she tried to get me to do it and I said no, so she did it and he said he was gonna put her picture all over the Internet." I looked at her.  "You actually believed that he was a backstage dancer for Justin Bieber? And you believed that if y'all sent a picture he was gonna give y'all free tickets? That's stupid." "I didn't think he was for real but she did. That's why she sent the picture." "I'm gonna ask her if she likes Justin Bieber," I said,"as a joke." She laughed at me and said, "She doesn't." When the bus finally pulled into the school it was around 7:12 a.m.

   After breakfast me and Emily walked to our lockers and I asked her, "Do you like Justin Bieber?" I was just asking as a joke but she might not even know why I'm asking. She shook her head, "No why?" I grinned and we walked through the double doors and walked to our English class. "I'll tell yah later."
