No One Understands
"Hey, Cindy, look at this!"
"Hmm?" Cindy looked up and saw her best friends, Kara, Leah, and Maggie looking down at her with an exasperated expression.
"Cindy, are you even paying attention?" Kara raised a brow at her.
"Oh, not really, guys," Cindy admitted with a deep sigh.
"Are you thinking about HIM again?" Maggie inquired and rolled her eyes.
"It's not funny, guys, you don't know how upset I feel right now!"
"No, we understand, Cindy," Leah said quickly, "This is a very tough time for you."
"Thanks, Leah." Cindy gave her a grateful smile. "I mean, everything was working out perfectly until-until-"
"Guys, are we going to talk about this again or can we just get back to ponder these gorgeous fashions?" Kara gestured to the magazine the girls were looking at.
"I just think we should just go to bed," Cindy stated with a phony yawn, "It's getting pretty late."
"Late!" Kara repeated, "It's nine, and we usually don't go to bed till another hour!"
But, Leah seemed to understand. "Yeah, but maybe we should just go to bed a little earlier. We should be as alert as possible tomorrow, especially since it will be the last day till the Christmas holidays!"
Kara and Maggie's eyes brightened.
"Well, I guess you guys have a point, but-er-you guys could go to bed. Maggie and I are gonna look for Padma and Lisa."
"Alright," Cindy replied.
"Fine by me," Leah added with a yawn, although it was a real one.
As they exited the room, Leah turned to Cindy.
"Sorry, Cindy, but they kinda have a hard time understanding what you're going through."
"Yeah, but you understand, Leah, thanks. You know you're my best friend." Cindy smiled.
Now it was Leah's turn to smile. "Thanks, Cindy! You know you are, too."
They hugged each other for a few moments with giggles.
When they broke apart, Cindy lowered her voice to a whisper.
"I still don't know what happened, though."
"Yeah, I mean, I thought you and Chris had a great relationship, but he just broke up with you one day for no reason at all, right?"
Cindy nodded grimly and looked up at her best friend. "Did I do anything wrong?"
"No, hun, of course not." Leah put a friendly arm around her. "You know how boys are. Sometimes you just don't understand them-well-actually, almost always."
Cindy laughed lightly. "You can say that again."
"Y'know, we should just go to bed, so we could forget about all of these problems. And then Christmas vacation will begin, and we'll be worry- free for about three weeks!"
"You're right, Leah." She yawned. "Don't you just love Christmas?"
Leah agreed. "And you better have brought me something nice," she joked.
"As long as you did."
They laughed for a few moments before yawning again. Both of them were already in their gowns, so they just plopped onto their beds and laid their heads on the soft, fluffy pillows.
"Good night," Leah said in a muffled whisper.
"G'night," Cindy replied and before long, both of them fell asleep, Cindy a little later.
