Stale (Rewritten)

Bestfriends Peggy's POV

(Hi, um so, I come here to tell you, next week I won't be posting that much cause I have a certificate ceremony to attend AND I'M GONNA GET A CERTIFICATE! ahem sorry, I also have a play to perform in so I am really booked but I'll make sure this is a really long chapter so y'all have something to read while I'm gone!"

"You did what?" I asked and sit up from my hospital bed, "I took the blame" John said "LAURENS ARE YOU CRAZ-" I screamed at him before Eliza shushes me and Angie explains why he did it "Sis! He did it because that's what friends do!" Angelica said "But I-" I tried to intervine but Laurens spoke up "Calm down! I obviously did something wrong so I made it even between us!" "What?" I asked, I don't remember John doing something bad, oh wait, That Rose girl he said was pretty, I stopped talking to him and abandoned our friendship because of my stupid crush, I felt terrible "Pegs? Are you good?" Eliza spoke up "Y-yeah" I stumbled on my words a bit "What happened to me?" I asked trying to change the subject "Well you inhaled to much smoke and failed to exhale carbon so your wind pipes got blocked and you started to halucinate and you fell unconscious" Eliza said in one gulp "The results aren't even out!  How'd you know that?" Angelica asked "Simple science" Me and Eliza said at the very same time, Eliza and I were top in our anatomy classes and we knew everything about science, "Wait! How long will I be staying here?" I asked my sisters "You'll be here for 2 weeks" Angelica said "B-but how about our field trip to Spain? I can't go!" I said very disapointed "We know, you were looking foward to it right?" Eliza asked me holding my hands "I was!" I screamed out "We can stay if you want" Angelica insisted "No no! I want you to have fun!" I said "Well I can stay, I mean my parents forbid me from going to Spain" John spoke up "You'd really do that?" I asked him "Yeah! It's a thanks for beating up Stephen" He said smiling "Thank you" I shyly said "Well we gotta go pack so don't do anything stupid!" Angie warned us, two of them left and it was just me and John "Soooo, why'd you decide to work at the bakery?" Laurens asked as he sat beside me "I didn't want to work there but I gave up on trying to be a 16 year old veterian" I said sarcastically "I'm thirsty" I randomly said "Uh want some water?" Laurens asked "Yeah" I replied, he walked to the counter to grab a bottle of water for me and came back with a board game "Here's your water! And let's play some chess!" Laurens said "Alright" I said giving in.

"I WIN! again" John said unexcitingly "When did you get so good at math?" I asked him "Since you hated me" he replied, Iaughed a little and cleaned up the chess pieces "Remember when we were kids and played spy all day long?" John asked as I was cleaning up my chess pieces "Yeah, I remember our last spy before you left for France" I said as I tried to remember what happened.

Flashback

"I got you!" I screamed at John, we were 12 and playing a spy game before he left for France "YOU GOT ME!" John screamed as he pretended to die "FEEL THE WRATH OF MARGARITA!" I screamed out at 12 year old Laurens, he stood up and we laughed it off like we always do "I have to leave in 5 minutes! I'll miss you" John said, I turned red, I was that typical girl that had a crush on her bestfriend "It's only a year Laurens! You'll manage" I said jokingliy "JOHN SWEETIE! THE PLANE IS HERE!" Eleanor screamed at the top of her lungs "Bye!" he screamed out before rushing to the plane, and there I was at the airport all alone.

A few weeks past and I got a letter from my bestfriend, it read

My dearest Margarita,

I have arrived in France safely, I have gotten my keycard for mg dorm and I am ready to learn all there is to culinary experience! I miss you dearly and I wish you could be here with me, my teacher, Mrs. Frances has told me to write these letters to you whenever I miss you, which I always do but writing a letter takes alot of effort so I wish to send you a letter each week.
