An Apple A Day(Trixya)

The Game Of Jealously

"I'm not going."

"Katya, yes you are."

"Why me?"

"You talked me into going to this dumb bake sale, so you are going."

"But I don't want to."

"Too bad." Trixie zipped her jeans as she tied her flannel around her waist.

"How long are we staying?"

"Katya, I don't know. I've never been to one of these before. I'm hoping I can just drop off what I baked then leave."

"That's what we both are hoping for then."

"I'm going to go put the cupcakes in a container. You have 10 minutes baby."

"10 minutes?"

"You should have gotten up when I first told you to."

"Who are you, my mom?"

"You call me mommy, so maybe I am." Trixie winked at Katya before walking out of the bedroom to the kitchen.

"You get out, then I will. I don't need them thinking we came together."

"Or, I can just stay in the car."

"Katya, no." Katya sighed and got out of the car, slamming the door. Trixie looked a bit shocked as she watched Katya walk into the school gym. She was really pushing it with Trixie today.

"Katya!"

"Oh, hey Crystal, hey Gigi, hey Divina. What are you guys doing here?"

"Gigi wanted some of Mrs. Luzon's pie."

"Figures."

"What are you doing here Kat?"

"My parents are gone for the weekend and I didn't feel like being bored so here I am."

"Whole house to yourself, that's pretty cool."

"Well, Willam is there."

"Willam is hardly ever home, she's always off chasing some guy. Anyway, Divina how was your trip home?"

"Oh please spare me the pain of talking about that rollercoaster."

"Hey girls."

"Hey Jan, how's it going?"

"I lost my mom."

"I'm sure she will show up."

"She has to, she's my ride home." The five girls began to walk around, looking at all of the different sweets that were for sale. The sweet smell of baked goods, filled the air. "Hey, is that Ms. Mattel?" Jan pointed to Trixie, who was busy talking to some guy. The man looked about Trixie's age, maybe a little older. At first, Katya thought that maybe they were friends but once the guy leaned close to Trixie and placed a kiss on her hand, Katya's thoughts changed.

"Who is that guy she's with?"

"I don't know but they sure seem cozy." Divina spoke as she ate a spoonful of homemade custard. Katya was quiet, staring at Trixie. "I wonder if that is her boyfriend."
