Chapter 17

Once Melina had finished cleaning her room, she ran into the bathroom to bush her teeth. She didn't want her new friends to be met with her atrocious dragon breath. After brushing her teeth she ran down the stairs to her mother. "Do you have any gum?" she asked.

Victoria gave her daughter a smile, and headed to her bag. She dug her hand around it and triumphantly pulled out a pack of mint gum. Melina grabbed it and ran to the door. "Thanks mom!" she yelled before reaching the door.

Melina hesitated before opening the door. She stopped and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was a mess and her eyeliner was smeared. She sighed, realizing that she didn't have much time to fix it. "Oh well, I guess I'll have to go natural," she thought.

She grabbed a scrunchie from her pocket and quickly put her hair in a bun. As for the eyeliner, Melina grabbed a wipe from her pocket and wiped the smudges off.

She took a deep breath before turning the door handle and opening the door. "You're not going to slam the door in our faces again are you?" asked Randy, raising an eyebrow. Melina let out a nervous laugh before giving him an answer. "No"

"Good," said Mickie. "Are you going to let us in now?"

Melina cocked her head to the side in a confused manner. "Mel, let them in," said Victoria form behind her. Melina gave her mother a grateful smile and stepped aside to let her friends pass through. She heard Mickie whisper "this is awesome" under her breath.

…

"Your house is amazing," said John.

"No doubt," said Mike.

Melina smile in joy. She had actually found people who liked her for her instead of for her mother's money. Speaking of her mother, Victoria had not disturbed them once that evening. This surprised Melina. It was mother who always wanted to meet her friends. And when she did, she hardly left them alone. Of course Melina soon found out that those people weren't her real friends.

"Should we go ahead and change into our pajamas now?" asked John. "After all, this is a pajama party."

"Sure," said Melina. "You can use the bathroom down the hall, or the one downstairs, or the one upstairs."

"Okay, I'm gonna have to get used to all this," said John.

"You plan on coming back here?" asked Melina
John moved closer to Melina with a smile on his face. "Of course. A guy can't not come over to his girlfriend's house."

It suddenly felt as if the world had stopped. Everyone was now looking at both John and Melina. "What?" she asked.

John scratched his neck and gave out a nervous laugh. "I was only joking."

"Oh," said Melina. She felt her heart drop. However, she decided not to let any of her emotions show.

"So you're saying that you wouldn't like to have Melina as a girlfriend?" asked Mickie. John looked utterly surprised. "No I'm not saying that. I-," began John. He was interrupted by Mickie holding her hand up to his face. "Save it."

…...

"Melina," began John, "I'm really sorry for what I said in there. John and Melina were now alone. Everyone else had decided to go change. "It's okay John," said Melina.

"No it's not." John hesitated before speaking again. "Melina, you're a beautiful girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you as his girlfriend." John stopped and tried to process what he had said. He didn't mean to say all of those things. The look on Melina's face was all he needed to walk away. "I'll uh see you downstairs."

After John left, Melina ran into her bathroom to change. As soon as the door was closed, Melina began jumping around and squealing.
