Hroondeel's Notes
I'm baa-a-ck! I noticed my first chapter S-U-C-K-E-D in some parts, but I dunno how to edit! sweatdrop Anyways, Shelly is happy and bubbly to the end…can't change that, it's sort of part of the story. XD oh well, you like some characters, and you don't, you know?
Three girls stood on a road in Mineral Town. Each one of them had bleached blond hair, heavily tanned faces, and excessive amounts of make up. One had her hands on her hips in impatience. The other was looking through her designer bag, supposedly double-checking she had everything.
"You got everything, Mimi?" The tall, slender one said. The girl she was addressing, who was rather chunky, and was short nodded, flicking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Good." The tall girl said, standing up straight.
"This is great! Now we're lost! We should've never ditched the city!" The one who was digging through her bag whined. The tall girl shrugged, and Mimi nodded.
A girl came around the corner, dressed in denim overalls under a cuffed sweater.
"Hello!" she said cheerily to them. The girls looked at each other, as if they were sharing an inside joke.
"Are you from around here?" She asked, trying to make conversation. Her brown eyes sparkled in animation as she talked, as if she was sharing a joke. The girl who was digging through her bag didn't reply.
"Nuh-uh. We just came here from the city, if you can't see. I hope you aren't anyways." She gestured to her flashy suitcase. It was almost like the girl hadn't had noticed her cruel remark. Her eyes sparkled in admiration as she said, "I love your bag! It's so pretty!" The girl blinked, surprised. She looked at her bag, which was hanging limply from her arm.
"Oh, um, whatever." The girl continued smiling, confusing the girl even more.
"Look you…stop bein' so fake to us, will you?" Mimi exclaimed. The girl blinked, and said, "I'm…I'm…sorry…it's just, your bag is so pretty…is it offensive if I say that?" The girl asked sincerely.
The trio blinked at her, and the girl shoved her bag at the girl.
"Fine! Have it, since you like it so much!" She said angrily. The girl caught the bag, staring at it in her hands. When she looked up, her eyes were sparkling, and there were tears in them.
"Thank you…Thank you so much!" The girls stared at her, not knowing what to think.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! DAMN YOU, YOU LITTLE BITCH! I DIDN'T MEA- " But she was shoved to the ground brutally and quickly. The others gasped as a foot was shoved into the tall girl's face.
"Go ahead…What did you say?"
The girl in overalls gasped, as did the other two.
"Gray…" The girl said, her hands to her mouth in shock.
"Hey you! Don't go messin' around with Mei like that!" Mimi exclaimed. Gray walked away from Mei, turning to Mimi.
"Hmph. You stupid kogals don't know how to quit." He glared at her, and she instantly took a step back. "You go picking on people who didn't do anything to you, so you can look cool." He then glanced at the girl in overalls. "Shelly…they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Shelly quickly shook her head. Gray instantly could tell she was lying.
"You don't know bad, do you, Shelly?" he said, then glancing at the three 'kogals'. "THESE LITTLE BITCHES ARE BAD!" He said, punching the girl with the bag in the face.
"GRAY!" Before, Gray knew it, Shelly was clinging onto his arm. The three girls opened their eyes, staring in shock.
"Please…don't hurt them. They're my friends." Gray eased his other arm, which was in a tight fist, about to smash Mimi's nose. He looked away, and then said, "Fine!" and walked quickly away, his face madly blushing.
The four girls looked after him. Finally, the girl who had given Shelly her bag burst into tears.
"I-I'm sorry! I was such an idiot!" Mei had tears in her eyes, and Mimi was staring at the ground.
"No! Don't cry!" Shelly burst out. This just made the girl cry even harder.
"Please forgive me…I'm Kuchi…" Shelly looked at her, confused why she was so upset.
"Oh… Well, then…I'm Shelly!" Shelly said, smiling, holding her hand out for Kuchi to get up.
"I hope we can be friends from now on."
Bad chapter! Bad! I know it sucks…don't tell me that, I already know… . By the way, Mei, Mimi, and Kuchi mean eyes, ears, and mouth. Cool, huh?
