I'm trying to move on here. But does it have to be like this everyday? Matt even made Kelsey hang out with us! At Barton's! I repeat. At Barton's! Our gang's sanctuary!

***

The guys are getting allong well with Kelsey. And though I hate to even think about it, I'm noticing that Effie's starting to like her too! What is it with Kelsey? Why does she have to take everything away from me? My life was a lot better when she's not existing.

This is really not fair. First, taking Matt away from me. Then now, my friends and invading my space...

***

Oh, I got caught in a nap after thinking too much of that girl. I woke up with the beep of my phone. It's just a notification on my SNS.

*a friend request from Kelsey Fullerton

Did she really thought that we were actually friends after hanging out with us? Anyway, it won't hurt if I approve her request.

*Kelsey Fullerton messaged you

Keylsey Fullerton: Hi Ashley. Thanks for accepting my friend request. And btw, I enjoyed hanging out with you guys yesterday.

I was taken aback. We. Are. Not. Offically. Friends. But, yeah. I can't tell her that straight off. That would be rude...

Me: Yeah. No biggie.

Kelsey Fullerton: I hope you won't find it weird. But, I'm glad a female friend now. See you in school! :)

Me: Yep. See ya

Okay. Talk about creepy. Is she like a lesbo or something? Better call Effie..

"Hey, what's up!" Effie answered on second ring.

"Hey, Effie! Guess what?"

"Yeah? What"

"Kelsey just added me on SNS."

"Really? Mee too! Isn't she cool or what?" I'm surprised by Effie's reaction. She sounded like she's excited about it.

"Duh? No, Effie! That's not cool! She's not cool! We don't like her, remember?!" I tried to contain my irritation. But, that's the best that I can do.

"I thought that changed yesterday. We were cool together. Kelsey seem to be not that bad." Effie sounded like she's trying to calm me down.

"Well, yeah. Everything looked fine yesterday because we're with the guys! And besides, it's just the friest time that we hung out with her. Maybe she's just acting nice at the start!"

"Ash, can you hear youself? And if her being nice is just an act, have you tried thinking what's in it for her?"

"What?! Are you taking her side, Effie??!"

"What? I'm on nobody's side, Ash. And there's no side to take on in the first place. You're not on a fight with Kelsey. And the guys seem to get along with her. Have you realized that if we hate on her, that yould affect our relationship with the guys as well?"

I hung up right away after Effie finished what she was saying. I'm so mad but also realized that Effie's right. I hate it whenever she's right. Maybe I should try. I don't want Mattie to think that I'm being mean to the group's new "friend". Yeah. I really like to air-quote the friend word when it comes to Kelsey. I said I'd try. But it's not gonna be happening in an instant.
