Paige's POV
Who remembers that mini-show that came on disney with Demi Lovato that showed what a group of teen friends did inbetween classes? As the bell rings? If you don't, look it up, and if you still don't recognize it, you need to reevaluate your life choices.
Well, anyways, that TV show played over in my mind as the bell rang and I rushed out of the classroom. Maddie, Nia, and I felt like Demi and her two friends, minus the part when we stand over the school's window, having flashbacks and flashforwards. Maddie was Demi, Nia was the dumb one, and I was the nerdy one. Minus the nerd part. I was just quieter and sensible.
I throw my bookbag at my locker from 6 feet away, in attempt to win the race the 3 of us were having. I get there first, quickly trying to put in my combination. On the last number, my finger slips and stops at the wrong number.
"NO!" I scream as Maddie proceeds to unlock hers. Nia "fell" somewhere along the way, but we all knew she would run as soon as we tried to help her. Tricks get old Niabear.
"Done!" Maddie screams, and starts to dance. I kick mine and start over with unlocking it. TV is a lie man. It does no take 2 seconds to unlock a locker. It takes about 10.
I yank out my purse and phone and throw in my books, finishing it off with a nice slam.
"So we're meeting Josh at Comsimo's?" I ask Maddie.
"Yeah, he said it was a 'meeting'," she says, putting air quotes around 'meeting.'
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Nia asks, finally getting to locker.
"He's Josh," I say, ending the conversation right there. We walk out of Franklin Regional and toward McDonald's. We walk past Chloe Lukasiak on the way there. We're sort of friends but the most we ever do is wave at each other or ask what the homework is. She looks at us, raises her eyebrows, and walks away.
"That's a first..." Maddie says, wrinkling her brow. It is a first. I don't know what's so surprising about 3 best friends walking to McDonald's during their lunch period.
"What's so surprising, Chloe?" Nia shouts back at her. Chloe turns around and clicks her heels toward us. If there is one thing I hated most about Chloe, it's the way she walks in heels. Like one of those women in the movies who is this characters rival at work and always talks with the words "hon" and "darling." With her cardboard hips swaying back and forth. No, Chloe. Just no.
"What was that, hon?" she asks. Okay, she didn't actually say 'hun.' She said Nia.
Maddie and I motion at Nia not to say anything, but Nia's the blonde of the "As the Bell Rings" crew. I should start that. ABR Crew. Yes, I shall start that during lunch.
"We were just wondering what' so eye bulging about the 3 of us walking to McDonald's, like always," Nia says, crossing her arms. I facepalm and Maddie groans.
"It was just..." Chloe sighs in the middle of her sentence. "Someone told me that the 3 Musketeers were now just the wrapper, the chocolate, and the musse."
My face starts to redden, knowing that the somebody that told her was the devil on her left shoulder telling her to start rumors.
"What?" Nia asks. I grab her arm and Maddie hits Chloe in her soft spot.
"Let's go guys, we have lunch with Josh," Maddie says as Chloe's teeth clenches. She walks away like the priss at the office again and we walk into McDonald's, seeing Josh already at a booth with food and Nick.
We talk for a while before the Nia brings up the 'emergency' Josh apparently had. His face gets red and he stands up, taking Maddie's. I stop chewing knowing that whatever I swallow is gonna come right back up if what I think is about to happen happens. And it happened.
"Madison, I've liked you for a long time now, and I need to get this off my chest. Will you be my girlfriend?" The look in his eyes is so desperate, like a begger on the street. Maddie smiles at him and happily says the words,
"Yes." They hug and I join in on Nia's awws, to make it seem like I'm happy. But I'm not.
You see, Josh is a player.
And Maddie's not exactly a good coach.
