The Bee (A Pretty In Pink Fanfic)

Promises

Andie and me were listening to music as we were just hanging out.

"Andie, are you and Blane over?"

"Pretty much, he's been avoiding me out of shame."

"Me and Duckie found out Steff put him up to it."

"That is so Steff!"

"And guess what Duckie did, he tried to fight Steff in your honor."

"That's why we love him."

"Yeah."

I stood up to look in my side of the closet for something to wear.

"You got new shoes?" Andie asked.

"No why?"

"There's a shoe box under your bed."

I realized what she was talking about. I turned around.

"Don't look in there!"

She already had it out and opened.

"Papers and photographs, what is this, a Nancy Drew case?"

"Look and you'll see."

She looked at the picture of the four year old me and Steff.

"Who is that?"

"Me and an old friend."

"Who?"

"Names are on the back."

She looked.

"Beatrice and Steff, huh...wait...Steff? Steff, as in our Steff, Steff McKee?"

"Yeah. We were four in that picture, it was outside of his house out back."

"You too used to be friends."

"Yeah, we were, he was the bestest friend I could ever ask for. You see, my mom and his mom were best friends, so we met when we were born. We went through and did everything together."

Andie looked at the tree house pic.

"And the old tree house still stands."

"Wow."

"Where we had sex the other day. Andie, the English project was a total lie. I wanna reconnect, be his best friend again. He tells me we're still best friends but not in school."

She saw the picture with us in the kitchen, then the recipe.

"Sweet Mud?"

"It's this dessert we used to make that Mrs. McKee came up with. It's chocolate cake mix and frosting blended together to make a delicious mud looking goodness. He wants me to come to see him tonight, I'm planning on making Sweet Mud, if you have any Betty Crocker mix and frosting."

"We do. Dad bought two mixes on sale."

"Cool. You wanna come with me?"

"I better not."

"You might see a whole new perspective of Steff McKee."

Andie smiled and nodded.

We went to Steff's place.

"Steff, I'm here."

"I'm in the living room."

I did hear music.

"I also brought someone, you don't mind do you?"

"Who is it?"

I walked in the living room.
