Mercy

Chapter 4

    I haven't spoken to Raiden or seen him at school since what happened between him and I. Mind you, we live next to each other and I still haven't seen him since Tuesday.
    Raiden and I have never argued until the last time we spoke. It hurts me to know that we're not friends anymore because of nonsense.
    I tried to contact him and see him at his house, but he doesn't want to talk to me. So honestly, I'm not going to play this game anymore, especially when I didn't do anything wrong! I thought Raiden and I were on the same page. I thought we were like...family. But I was wrong. He was just a friend and now he's nothing to me. People come and go.

    Anyway, I've been taking the public bus to school and work because Uber's are way too expensive.

    Also, Justin tried to reach out to me because he wants to hang out but I never responded because my situation with Raiden made me feel horrible all week.

"Hey girl." Jade smiled as I sat at the lunch table besides her.

"Hey." I sighed.

"You still haven't heard from Raiden?" Jade asked as  Olivia walked over to the lunch table and sat down.

I shrugged my shoulders. "No and I'm over it. We're not friends and that's it."

Jade shook her head. "Well, fuck him! I'm on your side. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't push you away because of a disagreement."

"It's whatever, I don't care anymore."

"Good, I never liked Raiden anyway." Olivia smiled before shoving some green grapes into her mouth.

  I shrugged my shoulders.

"Anyway, Ella what's up with you and my cousin?" Jade asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Nothing."

"Good." Olivia smiled.

Jade rolled her eyes. "Bitch everything is good to you."

"Okay, and?" Olivia asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not about to argue with you. Anyway, Ella are you working today?" Jade asked.

"No. Why?"

"I can give you a ride home today because I got my car back." Jade insisted.

"Are you sure? I can just take the b–"

"Yes girl, I'm sure." Jade smiled.

"Okay."

Olivia sighed as she stood up from her seat. "I'm going to go find my boyfriend, bye guys."

"I'm so tired of her sometimes. She always has something slick to say." Jade rolled her eyes as she watched Olivia walk away.

"What? Olivia is so nice." I giggled.

"The whole world is nice to you." Jade said sarcastically as the bell rung for dismissal.

"Shut up." I laughed as we both stood up from our seats and walked out to the student parking lot.
