When we got to McDonalds, Apricot used her charmspeak to get us some free food. She got chicken nuggets for us to share. While Alex used the rest room, Apricot and I just sit at a table and eat.
“Oh my gosh! My hair isn’t perfect!” a random mortal teen says. I look over in the direction of who she was talking too and saw the same familiar sunflower necklace. She looked over with the eyes that make me want to scream, why must Chloe be here? I instantly tensed, not wanting to have some tree attack the place full of mortals with its roots.
“Way to ruin our time,” Apricot muttered. She was clearly not a fan of preppy people and neither was I.
“Sometimes I wonder why mortals think perfection is within their reach,” I said, copying the tone of the mortal.
“I don’t understand it either, I’m gonna get a refill,” Apricot told me as she picked up her empty cup.
Chloe noticed me as she walked by and stopped. “Oh look, it is the loser whose boyfriend was more than happy to kiss me right in front of her,” she snapped.
Apricot came back with tea that was almost spilling over the sides of the cup, “Yay, tea?” she offered.
“You can have it, I don’t like tea,” I informed her. She looked at me as if I told her that I hate happiness, then started drinking her tea.
“Yeah,” Chloe agreed as she took the cup out of Apricot’s hands. “Maybe we should dump it out,” she said as she poured it over my head. The ice went down my shirt and I shivered.
“Gaea!” I cursed. “That was cold!”
“I come back and I see someone wasting good tea on my friend’s face. Well that is escalated quickly,” Apricot said. Wow, she cared a lot about me and doesn’t even notice that her tea is now gone. Please note the sarcasm. “Alex needs to come back. It doesn’t take that long for someone to pee does it?”
“How are you with your ugly outfit?” the mortal asked Apricot. Wow, that mortal is really stupid because Aphrodite herself picked out that outfit for Apricot.
“You already got over Dan?” Chloe asked, surprised.
“Yeah, I got a guy way better,” I snapped.
“Yeah she did,” Apricot agreed with me. About time she stood up for me.
“Maybe I should steal from him too,” Chloe said, thinking to herself.
“Oh no you didn’t,” Apricot growled, getting ready to protect her ship.
“Oh yes I did,” Chloe spat in Apricot’s face. That was extremely offensive. But it was kinda nice if you think about it this way. She might have been trying to smear Apricot’s makeup, but she doesn’t wear any so the joke is on her.
