Mean Girls: Andi Mack AU

Halloween

The next day, I️ tried my best to catch Buffy and Cyrus up on everything that had happened with the Plastics. I️ met them at the mall after school, at the cosmetic shop that Buffy worked part time at.

"And they have this Burn Book where they write mean things about all the girls in our grade," I️ concluded.

Buffy furrowed her brows, mouth agape with surprise.

"What does it say about me?" she asked quickly.

I️ shrugged.

"You're not in it," I️ lied. I don't know exactly why I️ didn't just tell the truth. I'd always been a pretty honest person, but it was like I️ just couldn't. I️ mean, what would her knowing do anyway?

Buffy shook her head.

"Those bitches," she said.

I️ then noticed her have an "ah-ha" moment, which scared since the last time she had one I️ ended up having to spy on the Plastics.

"Andi, you have to steal that book," she said.

My eyes widened. I️ shook my head. I️ could hardly even believe what she was suggesting.

"No, no way," I️ replied.

"Oh, come on. We could publish it, and then everybody could see what an ax-wound she really is," Buffy pleaded.

I️ shook my head again.

"I️ don't steal," I️ said.

"Andi, there are two kinds of evil people. People who evil stuff, and people see evil stuff being done and don't try to stop it," she said.

I️ rolled my eyes. In what way did ending the reign of terror of a group of high school mean girls fall on me, someone who had never even been to a real school?

"Does that mean that I'm morally obligated to burn that lady's outfit?" Cyrus asked, pointing out a woman in a hideous patchwork vest. "Oh, my god, that's Ms. Norbury."

Buffy smiled.

"I️ love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs," she remarked.

Ms. Norbury then approached us.

"Hey guys, what's up?" she said.

"I️ didn't know you worked here," she remarked to Buffy.

"Yeah, moderately priced soaps are my calling," Buffy replied sarcastically.

Cyrus nodded awkwardly, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"You shopping?" he asked.

"No, I'm just here with my boyfriend," Ms. Norbury said.

We all looked at her, confused.

"Joking. Sometimes older people make jokes," she explained.

"My Bubby takes her wig off when she's drunk," Cyrus said.

"Your Bubby and I️ have that in common. No, actually, I'm just here because I️ bartend a couple nights a week down at P.J. Calamity's. Cady, I️ hope you do join Mathletes, you know, because we start in a couple weeks and I️ would love to have a girl on the team, just, you know, so the team could actually meet a girl," Ms. Norbury said.

I️ nodded.

"I️ think I'm gonna do it," I️ said. Despite Amber's words, I️ really didn't care about being the most popular girl in school. Besides, I️ could use an extracurricular or two.
