The Way of A Bluebonnet Bridge

Kendall On The Couch

"Kendall, you can't let this morning incident define who you are."

Julie sits on a lounge chair next to a couch where Kendall is sitting. Ever since Kendall was rescued by Kick with his secret comforting words and her best friend Julie who kept loving Kendall for who she is despite how she acted or what happened to her.

"I don't know, Julie." Kendall replied. "Deep down I knew it was a mistake to date Ronaldo and use him to make Kick jealous. I thought at the time that I just needed someone like me: smart, hopeless romantic, and alone, but I didn't count on he was just like me such as being a nuisance to other people, being hateful, and bragging about my smarts, and the need to cheat!"

"Okay, I'm going to stop you right there!" Julie stopped Kendall. "Kendall, you don't cheat. You would never cheat, you're a smart, kind, sweet intelligent girl I ever met."

"Well same with you."

"It seems you and Kick don't get along too well. Do you hate Clarence?""Well, at first I thought I did. I mean he and I polar opposites. Clarence does stunts and often gets himself hurt 24/7. I, on the other hand, read books, like wathcing operas, and like to study."

"Well, that's not the bad part, although I can see why you would think you wouldn't get along. Is it like that all time?"

"Well, no. There are actually times when Kick and I get along. Like when we were dancing against Gunther and Jackie."

"Oh, I remember that very well."

"Then you may know that you were the one who yelled out "Kiss her"!

"I know, I didn't realize you two were still fighting."

"It's okay, now. Besides I don't think Kick would ever go out with me since he thinks of me as a goody-goody, jerky teacher's pet."

"Kends, you're not a teacher's pet. It's okay to love school but you have to realize you have friends by your side. And you can do so by making more by being nice."

"I don't know."

"I don't lie, Kendall. Besides when we were 3, we always due to fun things together: playing the sand, playing dressup, reading books."

"Those were the good times."

"Yeah, that is until we were in age 7, I had to move. I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay with you but my mother was offered some deals far away, and I had to move."

Julie went up to sit with Kendall, who scooted over to give her best friend room to sit.

"Kendall, I didn't know about what happened after I moved until Kick and Gunther told me about you, your time with Kick, and of course that jerkwad Ronaldo."

Julie was apart for 3 years until she moved back to Mellowbrook to be with Kendall to see her lonely. That made her pledge to never leave Kendall again.

"I'm sorry for being away for so long, I'm a terrible best friend." Julie said with tears flowing through her eyes.

Kendall saw her best friend in remorse and hugged her.

"No, it's not your fault. You're the best friend I've got and you still are today."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"And you're still the awesome girl I could ever be best friends with."

Kendall and Julie were like that hugging for a bit of while before letting go.

"Kendall, there is something you should know."

"What about?"

"I know you don't want to think about, but Ronaldo."
