The Car
9:23 pm
Melanie finally stopped texting by the time we got to her house.
"Hey, let's all paint our nails blue for our first day of seventh grade tomorrow." This came with excitement because Jenny is just now allowed to wear blue polish.
"K"
"K"
"And K" Jenny got of at her stop and so did Melanie. Sarah stayed because she was spending the night that night.
"Nikki, I got ice cream." This was our way of saying 'I have the scoop/ I have gossip'.
"Dish it out with no sprinkle left out." We giggled and she went on.
"I heard that Nella's cousin Claire is coming to live here. She will attend our school. I'm scared she may want to talk to us or worse, join our clique…bum, bum, bum, bum!" My mouth was wide open in shock. Claire is supposed to be lame and well not one of us. She gets to many 'Bs' and can't afford the places we shop at, and worst of all she doesn't have a cell phone.
The rest of the night was boring compared to that news. We went to bed at midnight and woke at the crake of dawn.
"Remind me again why we have to get up this early." Sarah was groggy and complaining like the not-so-morning person she was.
"We have to straighten our hair, take showers, eat, etc. Maybe not in that order." I was as tired as her but just dealt with it better.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in." We said this in unison perfectly like it was rehearsed.
"Hi, how are you guys? Oh by the way Nella's cousin Claire is moving in with us. Hey Nikki want a new cell phone?"
"What?! Oh sure can I have the rival? And what the French toast where you thinking?"
