Truths Unfold

That Weekend

Lena:

I call Jenna when I wake up the next morning.

"Hey Len! What's up?"

"Hey Jen! Are you busy this weekend? Because if you aren't hungover or busy, do you wanna come hang?"

"Lena. I didn't even have a drink at that party last night. Ok maybe a beer or two. But, I am not busy or hungover so I will be there in 20."

"Okay sounds good Jen."

"Bye love you girl."

"Love you too Jen."

I go outside and get our bikes out of the garage. Jenna leaves hers here because we always ride together.

I blow up our tires, and give them some cleaning.

I drag them up to our driveway and throw on my red tank top and plaid biking shorts. I throw my hair into a messy bun and put on my sunglasses. I throw on some tanning oil and grab a book while I wait for Jenna.

"Look who it is."

I look up and roll my eyes and then begin reading again.

"What do you need Stef?"

"Going biking with your good friend."

"What's it to you?"

"Well, see I happen to like those pretty little sunglasses you're wearing."

"And?"

"Well, Miss Smarty Pants."

I look up at her and push my sunglasses to my forehead.

She gets up in my face.

"Can I see how I look in them?"

I roll my eyes.

"If you insist."

I hand her my sunglasses. And then pull out my mirror and show her.

"You look good. You should keep them Biker Queen."

She looks at me and pops her bubblegum bubble in my face.

"Nah. They look better on you princess."

And with that's she is gone. I knew why she was there. She was trying to intimidate me and steal my sunglasses. But, it's a whole lot less fun when you tell her she can have them.

"Oh my God Lena. Was that Miss Annoying?"

"Stef Yeah."

"What did she want?"

"Too steal my sunglasses."

I pull them back too my nose.

"So, What did you do?"

"Didn't hold down."

"Alright Lena. Go girl!"

We get on our bikes and head down the road.

Stef:

"So did you put her in her place Stef or what."

"Nah. She knows the game. She is a player. She knows how do get rid of us."

"Damn. So no sunglasses then?"

"Seriously Roxy."

I pull out a cigarette and light it up.

"We will get her."

"Speaking of her Stef. Look who's biking right by us."

I whistle.
