Kelly was frying meat in a pan over the stove for her dinner that night. She lived in a small house all alone, after what happened with her and Zack. She carefully poured the greasy meat onto her phone when the phone rang, so she answered it with a jump. "Hello?"
A familiar voice was heard. "Kelly, you have got to come with me to the movies tomorrow night," said her best high school friend Lisa Turtle.
"I don't know. I don't want to go out ever again. The only reason why I ever would go out would be to get groceries. That's it," replied Kelly, sitting down. "I'm too stressed." She stabbed pieces of hamburger with her fork and ate it madly, chewing hard because it was overdone.
Lisa was in a nail salon getting her fingernails painted, and was holding the phone with her shoulder. As she always was, Lisa was richer than ever before, being the supermodel at the Bayside area. "Honey, I'll get you fixed up faster than this lady will paint my nails," she laughed while the hard working lady worked. "No offense. Oh, and could you speed it up a little bit, miss? I'm talking to a friend of mine."
Kelly sighed as her friend kept her on hold for a while. "But Lisa, ever since Zack and I got a divorce a month ago, my life has been terrible," she moaned, taking sips of her water. "I don't see how going to a movie will help."
"Mama Mia, your favorite movie, is playing," Lisa added, having a bright smile. "Please make this fun."
"Alright, I'll go. Pick me up at my house, you know where I live, right? My car was taken away from me."
"Okay, girlfriend. We are going to have a blast!" And with a giggle, Lisa hung up, and so did depressed Kelly.

The next evening, Lisa, in her fancy clothing, picked up Kelly in her convertible. Lisa gave a cute wave to her pal as Kelly climbed in the back seat. "Lisa, how do you afford all of this?" wondered Kelly amazed, staring at the expensive carpeting.
"Yeah, the paparazzi ask me that all day," she answered, flicking her hand. The two drove on silent until they pulled up at the crowded theater. As Lisa got out of the car, cameras everywhere flashed. "This is normal," she whispered to Kelly. "Just keep walking."
"Okay," chuckled Kelly as people everywhere let the two in front of them. When they got inside, the two got a large container of popcorn and two diet Cokes. They sat in the front of the theater, whispering things to each other.
"I haven't contacted the old gang in years," said Kelly softly, putting a handful of popcorn in her mouth, chewing at the buttery goodness. "Well, except for you and Zack. But Zack is a jerk."
"Forget about him," replied Lisa, looking at her long, pink nails. "He's just a boy that will never be trusted."
Kelly could not forget about that terrible day at her old job. She came home early to see Zack on his birthday, when she caught him and Leslie, their college friend, kissing on the sofa. After thinking briefly about him, the two watched the movie.
