Secrets Revealed

Chapter 7

It is three o'clock right now so I know Gigi and Nisha will be showing up any time soon. I was actually glad they were coming. I need some company. I didn't want to keep thinking about my life or how stupid my mom is and I was hoping Gigi and Nisha could take my mind off of that. 

I heard my doorbell ring so I got up and opened the door for Nisha and Gigi. They don't usually come to my house but they have been here a few times before. 

"Hey Kenzie, we bought snacks!" Nisha said as she picked up the bag filled with chocolate bars, chips, and candy. 

"I paid for all of those by the way." Gigi interjected. 

"AWW, thank you guys." I hugged them both and moments later we were all embracing in a warm friendly hug. 

"Ok, enough of this love session. Let's go inside, these snacks aren't going to eat themselves." Gigi said. 

We all laughed as we walked into my house. We went straight up to my room. 

"Your room is a mess!" Gigi said. Gigi is the kind of person who will say everything she is thinking out loud. I never use to like that about her but I got use to it. That's just who she is. 

"Sorry, I didn't really feel like cleaning today." 

Her face softened. "Is it because of. Aww Kenzie. It's okay." She came over to me and gave me a hug. 

I furrowed my brows in confusion. "I told her about your father." Nisha said reading my confused look. 

"Ohh, I'm fine guys. Really."

Gigi let go of me and looked directly into my eyes. "Are you sure your okay?" 

I signed. "No. I'm not okay. I'm beyond pissed at my mother. I'm trying to forget about it but I can't. How could my own mother keep such a big secret from me? I wonder what other secrets she has kept from me."

"What do you mean other secrets?" Nisha asked curiously.

"Sit down." I said motioning for them to sit on my bed. 

"I think my mom is hiding secrets from me." I blurted.

"Hiding secrets? Why do you think that?" Nisha asked.

"I don't know. I just feel like she's hiding something from me. When I asked her why she chose to tell me this now she told me that my father was a douche bag and he didn't want anything to do with me and that he cheated on her when she was pregnant with me and a whole bunch of other bullshit I didn't believe."

"Why are you so sure your mom is lying to you?" Gigi asked.

"I know my mother. She would do something like that. I'm just not believing the story she told me about my father."

 "I don't think you should be jumping to conclusions so quickly." 

"Yeah, maybe your right but when I told her I wanted to meet him she went totally ballistic. She wouldn't even show me a picture of him. All she told me was that his name is Chris Edwards and he lives in Florida."

"Oooh.. Mackenzie Edwards." Gigi cooed. "That sounds so much better than Smith."

"It does....enough about my problems, LETS EAT!" I yelled.

We grabbed the bag that was filled with deliciously fattening snacks and began to dig in. "So." Gigi said while taking a bite into her Hershey bar. 

"What?" I asked.  

"Tell me about Cole Reynolds." She urged.

I blushed at the sound of his name. "There is nothing to talk about."

"Yeah right. Tell us the detes (details)!" Nisha squealed.

"There is no detes, we only talked once in Mr.Hernandez's class. We were reading partners." 

"Now I think the only one keeping secrets is you." Gigi snickered.

I chucked. "I'm serious, there is nothing going on between Cole and I."

Gigi looked at me like she still didn't believe me. "OK. If you say so." 

"So anything interesting happen at school?" I asked. Before they got to respond Nisha's phone began vibrating. 

Nisha answered her phone. "Hey Troy." Nisha said smiling. "I have to take this outside." Nisha whispered then left the room. Troy is Nisha's boyfriend.

Gigi and I rolled our eyes. "I need a boyfriend." Gigi said. 

"You don't need a boyfriend, you want a boyfriend." 

"No, Kenzie. I need one. I need one bad!" 

I laughed. "Why?" 

"I've been single for like five months. I'm lonely. Nobody likes me Kenzie." 

"Wow, people do like you Gigi. Kyle has had a crush on you since 8th grade. I think you should give him a chance."

She laughed. "Are you serious right now? Do I sound that desperate to you?" 

"Yes!"

"Whatever. Doesn't he go out with that girl named Chloe?"

"They broke up." I couldn't read Gigi's expression. I couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. "Just give him a chance."

"He is so annoying and childish. He is not ugly but his personality is just horrible." 

Nisha walked in with a wide smile across her face. "What are you smiling about?" I asked.

"Troy. He just makes me so happy." 

"You're not a virgin are you?" Gigi asked Nisha.

Nisha's eyes popped out in surprise. "Why would you say that? Of course I'm a virgin." 

Gigi and I exchanged glaces and then bursted into laughter. "What is so funny?" Nisha asked.

"Well Gigi and I have this philosophy that Troy took your virginity. That's why you're always so happy when your around him. You know the D always be brightening a girl's mood." 

"WHAT? Are you guys serious right now? I plan on staying a virgin till I get married." Nisha proclaimed.

This made Gigi and I laugh even harder. "Yeah, and I plan on drinking alcohol till I'm 21." Gigi said in between chuckles. 

"You really think your going to wait until you get married to lose your virginity? I mean COME ON!" I said. 

"What's wrong with waiting?"

"Nothing is wrong with waiting, we just know that's not going to happen unless you get married when your like 19 or something." Gigi said.

She rolled her eyes. "You guys are so annoying." 

"You still love us though." I said.

"Unfortunately I do." 

Being with Nisha and Gigi just boosted my mood up to 100%. This is why I love my friends. They always know how to make me feel better even when my life is going downhill.
