Love hates.

Chapter 11

I opened my car door and went out my car. I looked back at my car still happy that it was still sparkly clean and shiny.

I smirked at my memory that rushed threw my brain. Yesterday I got Alex fired and I was so proud of it.

Even though I did get my karma today. Today in gym class I fell miserably onto the tracks hard, rough concrete and gave myself a a big cut on my knee.

I shook off the thought and locked my car and went to my front door.

I opened the door and saw Marie there like usual.

"Hey Marie."

"Hi." She replied acknowledging my presence. She was sitting on the couch, with Ariana next to her watching Tarzan.

"So, do you have anywhere to go right now."

"Nah I think I'm gonna hang with you guys until this movie is over because I haven't watched this in forever."

"Okay, I'm gonna go get into my pajamas."

I changed into black shorts and a plain white T-shirt and made my way back downstairs, plopping onto the couch next to Marie.

After thirty minutes into the movie my mom walked in with a scowl on her face. Then forced a smile when she saw Marie.

Something was up.

"Hello Marie, how are you." my mom said clearly hiding her frustration into a polite voice. But apparently Marie was oblivious to it because she didn't even have a weird look on her face.

Marie shot her one of her signature smiles. "Hello Ms. Spencers. I'm great how are you."

My mom gave a strained smile and bobbed her head. "Im.. fine." then paused for a bit tension suddenly building up in the room. "uh Marie can you uh... I really don't want this to sound rude but can you please leave."

Marie looked a but shocked at my moms words. "uhh.. sure.. yeah, um, I'll be going then." she said getting up getting her bag.

"Have a nice day!" Marie called out before she stepped out the door.

"Malerie can you please come with me to the kitchen." my mom said walking to the kitchen.

I looked back at Ariana who was giving me the 'your screwed' look.
I thought the same as I entered the kitchen meeting my moms glare.

"Yes?" I said sounding shaky, I internally cursed at myself for not trying to make a steady voice.

"Well... I was talking to Jessica last night over the phone. And she told me something interesting."

Oh my God. I thought.

"What she tell you?" I said trying to act casual about it.

She gave me a glare. "you know what you did. You fired Alex! Do you know how horrible that is! What if I went to your job and I fired you how would you feel!" she stopped for a moment rubbing her temples trying to calm herself down."I'm not gonna yell." Then she looked up at me. "Malerie. Jessica is my closest nearest friend, and you fired her son. Do you know how embarrassing that is for me."

I wanted to state that there was no need to be embarrassed because dude, my moms way overreacting about this.

I sighed. "Okay, I'm sorry mom. But I really didn't do it on purpose trust me."

"Malerie." my mom said looking straight in my eyes. "you need to stop this child play that has existed for eight..nine..ten years! heck I've completely forgotten of a time when you didn't hate Alex! My point is, that you need to get along with Alex. I'm not asking you two to be friends but, just acquaintances."
