It felt good to be friends with Candace. I had never before experienced such a friendship! But for now, I had to really help her get that annoying little Darcy off her back. I felt so sorry for Candace! She actually had to bother with that creep! Darcy was really getting on my nerves. She practically revered Candace, like Candace was a goddess or something. I mean, Candace is nice and all that, but it's not like she can control me.
I didn't expect to really do anything with Candace after that day when she took me under her wing to have lunch with her. I didn't realize that was how it worked. But from that day on, Candace kept in touch with me. I was utterly relieved. I thought I was going to have to witness her kindness and then be blown away like leaves in the wind. But no, Candace stuck to her guns and stayed with me! I really liked her for that.
We went to the mall that very same day. And I finally helped Candace see what a slobbering, adoring, revering little puppy Darcy was over her. "Dear lord, what a total mess this store is," Candace wrinkled her nose in disgust. "You are so right Candace. That store shouldn't even be here, it's so revolting," Darcy quickly agreed. "Do you have to agree with everything she says?" I asked, rounding on Darcy. Candace looked at me and smiled. "You're right, Nicole. You are so right. Darcy does agree with me on everything I say. How boring." She looked at her fingernails, as if saying that her fingers had more interest. I giggled to myself. "What's so funny?" Darcy snapped. "Don't yell at her, Darcy!" Candace warned. "I was just thinking that since Candace rather look at her fingernails than you, then they must feign more interest," I said, smiling my sweetest smile. Candace hooted with laughter. "Good one, Nikki!" she said. "Oh, sorry, I should have asked before I called you Nikki. I don't like being called Candy, after all." She flashed her beaming smile at me. I grinned back.
I could see Darcy was fuming. But she kept on smiling, as if it was all part of the plan. Why was she smiling? I expected her to attack me! Then Candace spoke. "Let's think.if Nicole was a colour, what would she be?" she asked. "I know what Darcy would be!" I piped up. "What?" "Green. For envy," I smiled at Darcy, who definitely looked green by now. "Ugh," Candace wrinkled her nose at Darcy. "Get that disgusting look off your face. I never thought you to be the jealous type, Darcy. C'mon Nikki, let's leave. You'll have to call your mother, Darcy, because mine doesn't accept jealousy." She beckoned me to come with her, and hooked her arm with mine, flouncing away.

I couldn't believe it. I just stared at the two girls skipping away, leaving me in the dust. I had no friends. I always thought it would always be Candace and I forever. We had been friends for so long! But now.
We were done. We were over. She had dumped me like she had dumped the other three. Now the whole school would know I did something terrible to Candace! I would have no friends! Who could I turn to? This was awful! Now there was just N and C: Need Candace. Candace was the only one who always pulled us together. Now what would I do? Could I even go back to those traitors Brianna, Maya, and Renee? It was more than I could stand. They would know that now I too, had been dumped by my best friend. I had to find someone else quick!
My mom picked me up and we drove silently. Keloryn was in the car. "So how was it?" she asked. "Terrible," I said sullenly. "Why?" my mother was suddenly involved. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I blinked, holding them back. But I stared at Keloryn. She was smirking; she knew what had happened. "All I'm going to say is that I knew it would happen someday," Keloryn announced, turning back around to face the front. My mother was oblivious to anything that had happened. She didn't even bother to ask further.
