"No.. Why do you ask?" shoveling her feet through the gravel
"Because you ran out of Stacy's room like it was on fire." What's up?"
"I don't like to see someone in pain." It's always scared me ever since I was a kid."
"I don't either, but she's going to be alright." patting her on the back
"I know." Thanks." Smiling as she walked up to her house." See you at school tomorrow." Walking into her house.
"Ok bye!" walking off
"Hey Reba." Said Barbra Jean walking through the back door
"What do you want?" said Reba sitting at the kitchen table sipping her coffee.
"I brought the sugar back that you let me borrow!" pouring it all over Reba's head
"Barbra Jean!" Why did you do that!" getting up from the table wipping the baking soda from her face with her hands.
"Because you ruined my dessert!"
"Ugh!" I should have got everybody to throw rocks at your wedding instead of rice!"
"You did!" I still have that knot on the back of my head!"
"What does it matter you have no brain!" I should have used a bigger rock!"
"I'm sorry Reba I shouldn't have poured baking soda all over you." I'll clean up this mess." grabbing the broom from the closet.
"No. I"ll clean it up you can ride the broom home!"
"Humph!" storming out the back door as Reba cleaned up the mess.
"Hey mom." Said Kyra walking through the back door. "What the heck happened here?" dropping her book bag on the table.
"Ask Barbra Jean." rolling her eyes as she swept the floor. "How is Stacy?"
"Doing better." she said she might be back at school next week."
"That sounds great."
"Yeah." I'm going to do my homework an go to bed." grabbing her book bag walking out of the kitchen.
"Okay."
"Hey sweetheart want some breakfast?" asked Reba putting on some more toast.
"No... I want to go back to bed." sitting down at the table groaning
"Hey Reba." Said Barbra Jean walking through the back door taking a seat at the island.
"I'll get my breakfast at school." grabbing her things as she walked towards the door.
"No you won't Kyra." We always sit at the table an have breakfast." said Barbra Jean
"Have a good day at school Kyra." motioning for her to leave
"Why did you over rule me?" asked Barbra Jean
"Because she's my daughter not yours!" when are you going to realize your not her mother!" I am!"
"I'm her stepmom."
"Yeah , but you did't raise her I did!"
"Ugh!"I was going to apologize for what I did to you yesterday , but your in one of your red moods." walking towards the door.
"I was in a good mood till you showed up."
"Humph!" walking out the door
"Hey Kyra." said Jenny walking into class taking her seat
"Hey." said Kyra yawning. "I swear they should not have us wanting to be at school at eight it's just wrong."
"I know, but we can't change it it's the school boards fault."
"True." Tell me when school is out." falling a sleep
"Kyra!"
"Oh alright." getting to the lesson.
The third bell ranged it was lunchtime. "Great saved by the bell." said Jenny gathering up her books. "Kyra?" snoring away at her desk.
"What's the question?" said Kyra waking up
"You ok?" asked Jenny
"Yeah why?"
"You have bubble gum in your hair." pulling it out
"Ow!" stop that!" your going to rip my hair out." Just cut it out." handing her some scissors.
"There." cutting it out as she threw it in the trash.
"Thank you." gathering her books walking out of the classroom
"Hey watch it!" Punk!" yelled Amber running into Kyra an Jenny.
"Sorry." said Jenny " next time wear a bell." smiling
"Oh shut up!" stupid freshmen." walking away
"Who was that?" asked Kyra grabbing her lunch tray an some juice.
"I don't know." she was rude though." said Jenny paying for her lunch.
"Yeah she was."
"Hey Stacy how you feeling?" asked Jenny walking into her room with Kyra behind her.
"Much better." said Stacy throwing the covers off her.
"That's good."
"What's wrong Kyra?" asked Stacy
"We ran into this girl today who was coming out of Ms. Hodge's office." She had on tall black leather boots an a purple shirt that said "bite me on it."
"Oh crap..."
"What?"
"She's one of my enemies." Her name is Amber."
"Why doesn't she like you?" asked Jenny
"Because I put shaving cream in her locker."
"Haha!" sorry but that's funny."
"Yeah it was funny then, but she paid me back by sending my bra up the flag pole."
"That little brat." well she won't mess with you when you got us."
"Thanks guys."
"Welcome."
"Reba." said Barbra Jean walking through the front door
"Barbra Jean." looking up from her book she was reading.
"You in a red mood?"
"Yeah a little since your here." What is it now?"
"I want to apologize to you for dumping all that baking soda on you yesterday." sitting down in the arm chair.
"Thanks I forgive you now go home."
"No." Wait you owe me an apology too." You told me to ride your broom home."
"I'm not sorry for that."
"Fine." but I have you know I'm working on another cake for Brock."
"Oh jumping out of it?"
"I did that once for a guy I was dating it was his birthday an I winded up breaking my leg."
"Aww your only feature to attract married men." smiling
"You take that back!"
"No!"
"Fine!" I take my apology back!" storming out the front door
"Whatever." Rolling her eyes getting back to her book
"Hey Stacy." Said Kyra walking up to her locker
"Hey." Nice to be back, but I would rather be somewhere else than school." laughing
"Me too." taking Stacy's books.
"I owe you for doing this for me." smiling
"No you don't." your my friend."
"You owe me." said Amber walking up to Stacy an Kyra.
"For what?" said Kyra
"Was I talking to you?"
"No, but your not speaking to my friend that way."
"Ooo.." I'm shaking in my boots."
"Everything ok out here?" asked Ms. Hodge walking out of her office.
"Anybody ever tell you you look like a cow." said Amber
"Why don't you stop talking about yourself Amber it's not healthy." Snapped Stacy
"Sorry did't realize you were her little baby calf." laughing as she walked to her class.
"That big bully!" I outa smack the taste out her mouth!"
"You don't have to she has none." said Kyra
"I'm sorry Ms. Hodge."
"It's ok." I've been called worser things just let me know if she bothers you."
"Welcome." Walking back into her office
"I'm going to get that girl if it's the last thing I do!" yelled Kyra coming through the front door.
"What's going on?" asked Reba coming down from upstairs with a basket of dirty cloths.
"There's this girl at my school named Amber." She's one of Stacy's enemies." an she's not nice." throwing her bookbag on the floor.
"Calm down." Come sit down. I"ll go get you a glass of water." sitting Kyra on the couch as she headed to the kitchen to get her drink.
"Ok." taking deep breaths as she counts to ten.
"Here you go." handing her glass of water to her.
"Thanks." drinking it almost halfway gone.
"Welcome." you feeling better to tell me the whole story?"
"Yeah." telling her all that went on why she was Stacy's enemy.
I'm proud that you stood up for Stacy, but please don't stoop to Amber's level." That's what she wants."
"I won't mom." drinking the rest of her water.
"Good." brushing a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Well I don't have homework tonight so I'm going to rest for awhile." grabbing her stuff an heading upstairs to her room.
Beep goes Kyra's computer as she sees she has a email from Stacy. pulling up the email she notices another email message but this time from Amber." oh no not again." Kyra thought to herself as she opened up the email. "That little witch." said Kyra through grited teeth. picking up the phone to call Stacy.
"Hello?" said Stacy
"Hey." It's Kyra."
"What's wrong?" you sound out of breath."
"I just got a nasty email from Amber."
"What?" saying in shock "tell me what it said." as she could feel the anger rise through her body
"She did't say anything."It's a picture of you falling into the bleachers with a saying at the bottom of the pic that I will only repeat to you if you want me to." eyes filling up with tears.
"Sure go ahead I'm a big girl not a child."
"Well here it goes.." telling Stacy what it said
"That creep!" yelled stacy on the phone
"Don't worry about her she's not getting away with this."
"No she's not." Thanks for telling me."
"You welcome." Hangs up the phone.
"Amber!" yelled Stacy walking up to her locker
"What do you want?"
"Why did you send a picture of me falling over the bleachers!" Not to mention the hurtful words you said too!"
"I felt like it what you going to do tell the cow what I did?" saying like a little kid.
"She doesn't have to I saw it." said Ms. Hodge walking out of her office.
"How could you have seen it?"
"Cause I sent to her you creep!" snapped Kyra
"I'm going to get you for this." walking into her office
"Oh an my little dog too?" laughing
"Oh shut up!" saying as the door closed
"Amber what you did was uncalled for an down right cruel, but I'll let you off on a warning." If it happens again your going to get suspended for a week."
"Fine."
"Good." get to class
"So did she drop a house on your sister?" said Jenny as Amber took her seat.
"Shut up Jenny!"
"Make me!"
"Ladies!" one more out burst an your going to the principles office." said
"Sorry." said Jenny as she gave Amber a evil look
"Grr!" said Kyra walking through the front door throwing her bookbag in the middle of the living room floor.
"What's wrong?" asked Reba sorting through her work papers.
"That girl Amber!" No wounder Stacy doesn't like her she's evil!" flopping down in the arm chair.
"Hold on take a deep breath an tell me what happened."
Taking a few deep breaths Kyra starts telling her mom what happened. "See why she's evil?"
"Let's not use evil that's a little harsh." How about just cold hearted an hateful." Is Stacy ok?"
"She was until lunch today when she ran into the bathroom crying." but before I went to go check on her I had to pull Jenny off Amber before she put her face down in the water fountain."
"Your a good friend to her an so is Jenny." Just remember revenge never works it just back fires."
"I know been there bought the t-shirt an threw it away." picking up her bookbag heading upstairs
"Good." supper will be done shortly."
"Okay." closing her bedroom door behind her
"Hey buddy!" said Barbra Jean coming through the front door holding a plate of her cake.
"Is that your cake you made with posion?" said Reba smiling sarcastially
"No." an by the way that's not funny." joining Reba on the couch."I want you to take a bite of it an tell me what you think." handing her a fork.
Starts gaging as she spits it out on the plate."Barbra Jean!" Your suppose to melt the butter not put the whole stick in the cake." taking a paper towel as she wipes her mouth.
"I used your mom's chocolate cake recipe." smelling the cake
"Brock give you my mom's recipe for chocolate cake?"
"yeah." Why?"
"This is his mom's recipe not my mom's recipe." His mom is the only woman I know who puts ninety proof rum in all her desserts."
Hiccups."Excuse me Reba." putting her hand up to her mouth.
"You dranked the whole bottle of rum didn't you?"
"No.." hiccups.
"Yes you did, besides you don't get hiccups after one drink of that."
"Go home take a aspirin, drink a sprite, and eat some crackers an call me in the morning." walking her to the door
"Ok Red." Hiccups
"I better walk you home." putting her arm around her shoulder. "Why does this remind me of a bad memory." Reba thought to herself. "Oh yeah I was drunk an she carried my butt upstairs an now I'm dragging her's home." rolling her eyes as she keep walking to her house.
