"Amelia, Dakota, Lenny, and Jemmi are all my friends. My best friends." I write. "No, No, No!" I say angrily as I crumple the piece of paper into a ball and whip it to the over-flowing garbage can. Ugh! This is about the twentieth time I have tried to start this stupid homework assignment! I think to myself.

"Michelle, come down stairs you have a phone call." I suddenly hear.

"O.k., I'll be right there." I cry back getting out of the chair at my computer desk. Then I walk down the fourteen stairs to The short red headed lady at the bottom.

"Hello?" I say as I politely take the phone away from my mom. Then I turned around and walked back to my room where I sat on the Purple silky blanket that covers my bed.

"Hey Michelle." Says the girls voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Jemmi what's up?" I ask twirling my blond curly hair around my long skinney fingers.

"Um, well the ceiling is up." She replies making me giggle. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. "Hang on I gotta beep." I tell Jemmi. Then I look at the phone. "Great!" I say sarcastically as I roll my eyes; "It's Lenny."

"Hiya Lenny." I say switching phone lines.

"Hey-wait-what? How did you know it was me?" He asks quickly.

"It's called caller I.D. Duh!" I reply being smartalicly. "Hang on Jemmi's on the other line; let me make it three-way." I tell him. But before he has a chance to stop me, BEEP. "Jemmi, Lenny you guys there?"

"Yup!" They say at the same time.

"Jinx!" Lenny says to Jemmi.

"I don't play that stupid game! It's for like five year olds. You need to grow up and act your age!" Jemmi exclaims, with an attitude.

"Anyways Michelle, are we still going to go to the movies tonight"
Lenny asks me. "Huh, are you guys going out?" Jemmi suddenly, confusingly asks.

"Noooooooo! How many times do I have to tell people that?" I say kinda rude and as if I am jumping down her throat.

"Well only as many times until you will go back out with me...you know you love me." Lenny adds.

"Ooh, that will be like, um never! I told you I only like you as a friend, but will you listen to me? No!! You never listen to me, and I'm sorry but I cant do anything until I finish my schoolwork for the day." I say getting kinda angry.

"Hang on Michelle, Roger's beeping in." Jemmi points out suddenly. It's all quiet until I hear... "Michelle, Lenny, Roger, you guys there?"

"I am!" I say.

"Me to." Lenny adds.

"Hey now don't you guys forget about me!" Roger joins in.

"Hey Jemmi I still have a huge essay to write so I'm going to let you go. O.k.?" I tell her as soon as Roger stops talking.

"O.k." I hear three people say. "Bye, Luv y'all."

"Bye. Love you too Michelle!," Lenny exclaims quickly. I roll my eyes at this comment.

"Bye." Jemmi says.

"Fine be rude and leave the second I join the conversation. See if I give a care!" I hear Roger say.

"O.k. then I will." I reply. "Bye." I say again. Then I hang up.
