Maria always held amazing slumber parties, well at least that's the rumor. Thing is you have to be "super popular" to get invited. And for Madeline, this year's slumber party was out of the question. Although she didn't let it get her down, I mean as much as she wanted to attend, it was only a dream.
Sakura was Madeline's best friend, ever since 2nd grade. Now they were both juniors in high school.
Sakura sat on a bench in the courtyard in front of the school, wearing her school uniform which was odd because this school doesn't have uniforms.
"Hi Sakura." Madeline said softly while walking up to the bench that Sakura was sitting at.
"Oh hello Madeline." Sakura said with a smile, while shutting the book she was reading.
"I'm sorry, did I interrupt your reading?" Madeline sounded worried while backing up a couple steps.
"Oh no, not at all." She said with an apologetic look in her eyes. Sakura set the book she was reading down and stood up.
"Okay good, um do you want to walk together? "Madeline blushed behind her bag which she held up to her face. Sakura nodded with a grin. They then started talking about random topics on their way to the classroom.
"Well this is my first period." Sakura sighed in front of the art class. She smiled at Madeline and walked inside the classroom, where she greeted a few of her classmates.
Madeline walked by herself through the crowds of the hallway, bumping into people on her.
"Maddy!" a voice called out among the crowd. Madeline stopped in her tracks, she knew that voice from anywhere.
Amelia.
Amelia was Madeline's sister, they haven't seen each other in a while ever since Amelia decided to live on her own, she said "now that I'm a senior I can do what I want." Madeline didn't really feel like talking or seeing her obnoxious sister right now, so she started speed walking until she reached her first period which happened to be math honors.
Let's face the facts, Madeline is one smart cookie. Once she stepped into the classroom she saw crowd of people around a table in the back. She set her stuff down on an empty desk and slow walking towards the crowd.
Turns out the crowd was surrounding Maria like paparazzi. Maria was sitting on top of a desk laughing along with some people.
Then it happened, someone brought up the dreaded slumber party. Madeline really didn't want to be mocked by this party she knew she wasn't invited to. She just turned around walked back towards to the desk that had her stuff. She was near the point of tears but she didn't want to make herself look more like the fool she already was. All Madeline wanted was to be popular and noticed for once in her life.
Even though Amelia is probably one of the most obnoxious person she ever met, Amelia cared for Madeline, to Amelia, Maddy was fragile. So when Madeline was younger, Amelia told her that "it doesn't matter what people say or do, you are beautiful plus without quiet people how would we know who the loud people are!" Madeline really did love her sister so she should listen to her advice and she did.
The bell rang and everyone headed for their seats and of course Maria had to sit in the seat next to Madeline. The teacher strolled into the room. "Good morning class." The teacher said with a smile towards the class. "My name is Mrs. Hartford."
The bell for second period rang and all of the students scattered for their classrooms.
School had ended and Madeline made her way through the hallway and meet up with Sakura and Amelia. Sakura had a volleyball and Amelia had her baseball bat. They were talking about sports.
"Hi guys." Madeline quietly approached
Amelia embraced Maddy in a bear hug. Sakura giggled at sisterly love. "Hey are you going to try out for any sports?" Sakura asked while Amelia stepped back from Madeline.
"Um I really haven't thought about it?" Madeline said putting her finger to her chin.
"You should, there really fun!" Sakura smiled.
"Yeah baseball is a ton of fun but I think you're a bit weak, you would need to train!" Amelia said with a blinding smile.
