I reluctantly make my way to where Tonya has creepily stationed herself, just close enough to the choir room to be able to stare at London.
"Hey, stalker."
Tonya doesn't even flinch.
"Hey, disappearing act."
"I kind of need your help."
"Tell me it has nothing to do with Aden Arrington and it's done."
"Well, technically it has little to do with him."
"How's that working out for you?"
"Fine, I suppose. It's going as well as we can manage."
"I figured. You ever notice how you only talk to me when it's about Aden now?"
I'm speechless for a bit as I stare down the truth.
"You didn't notice. Yeah, I know - that's why I'm pointing it out."
"Can you blame me after all the shit you pulled?"
"Yes, I can; especially because you said you'd forgiven me."
"It's hard to forget."
"How do you think it feels for me to have friends who are barely my friends anymore. Even Sybil has been distant lately."
"Are you sure you're not the one pushing us away? You're always so dismissive of anything we're talking about, and you barely interact with us when you choose to sit with us. I mean, we're still your friends, but we don't feel like our attention on you is reciprocated."
She nods, still following London's every move with her eyes.
"Just, come sit with us on Monday, okay?"
"Okay, McKay. What do you want?"
"Could you do my hair? We're going to a VIP club tonight."
"Oh, can I come?"
"I don't know, Tonya..."
She glares at me.
"That was a joke."
"Try lending your voice some inflection if that's the effect you're after."
"As per usual, you're an ungrateful little bitch. If it wasn't for me, you'd never have met your little Romeo."
"Till when are you going to hold that over me?"
"Let's just go." she says but continues to watch London.
"Don't you maybe want to talk-"
"Keep your fat trap out of it."
"I was just trying to help my poor thirsty friend get somewhere in life - you know, prevent you from becoming a real stalker."
