Someone Like You
Vlad has only been gone four days and I was going crazy! It was driving me mad not to see his welcoming smile and hear his laughing voice. I had already implanted into my mind that I could go on shunning Vlad until he got the picture.
But now that it has only been four days without him out of seven I don't think I could resist tackling him to the ground the moment I see him. Yet the thought that he probably misses Meredith and hasn't thought about me at all kept the flame of my anger alive. Until it devoured me once more and I was certain I could survive shunning him long enough for him to get the point.
It was still early in winter break and without Vlad things got dull. I lost my interest to go along with Joss and Henry wherever they went.
Don't get me wrong, I still love to spend time with my cousins. But they seem to understand that Vlad's absence is driving me insane. They requested I try to spend time with my older friends, I knew they meant well. So, here I am, waiting for my friends to come. Marie, Rachel, Megan, Lisa, and Amelia were all coming over to spend time here with me.
When my five friends came, we retreated to my room. I lay down on my floor, Rachel and Lisa took my bed. Megan sat down at the chair by my desk, Marie and Amelia sat with me on the floor.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Amelia asked.
"I don't know! I hang out with the guys all the time. All they do is play video games and act like idiots." I laughed at the memory of Vlad, Joss and I experimenting with Mentos.
"Lucky!" Marie commented, I rolled my eyes. Many girls in our school have taken a liking to come up to me asking if one of the popular McMillans is interested in them. Of course, I never tell them anything really important or leading. But still, I was used to it. So for at least on of my friends to be even remotely curious of my cousins wasn't rare.
"What I meant is I spend so much time with the guys I'm afraid I don't know what to do with the girls." I admitted, they seemed to understand, I guess. "So, educate me. What do we girls do?"
"Talk." Megan answered, I laughed.
"About what?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Well what do guys talk about?" I shrugged, respecting my friends enough to stay silent. All the girls leaned closer in excitement.
"Oh, yes! Tell us!" Lisa encouraged.
"No, guys I can't! That's personal!" They went in a fit of giggles.
"How personal?" Rachel asked, I sighed.
"Guys, I know things about them that you could only dream of knowing." Their grins widened. "But I have vowed never to tell."
"Oh why not, Mina?"
"They'll kill me if I do. But I will say one thing. Just because they are popular doesn't mean anything. They are all normal guys deep down."
"Do they talk about girls like we do them?" Maria asked.
"Of course they do." I shrugged it off as nothing. "What?"
"What do they say?"
"Girls, they are just like us. They are lost and confused about every little tiny thing that we do. Just because I hang out with guys doesn't mean I'm the missing link. Remember, all of them are family."
"Not Vlad." I blushed a deep red at his name.
"Well, he's-uh. Vlad... he's just..." I stuttered horribly, I didn't know exactly what to say.
